ARBeast Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Finck did a great solo, along with Better he did great. I wonder if there ever was a Slash solo on it or if it was one of the songs Axl wanted Slash to play on CD. SOD and TWAT could also be Slash.TIL, Better, SOD, TWAT all very GNR.Street of Seymour was a working title.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think it was intended to have a great guitar solo and in my opinion, that's exactly what it got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I Love suffers tremendously from the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Slash has pretty ballady songs on various albums. And songs with piano/synths/dumb sound effects. I don't think he hates that stuff nearly as much as he proclaimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 What did he exactly write in the early 90s? The lyrics or the piano sheet?The issue was, Slash hated November Rain and hated this song. Slash hates ballads, even though ballads are necessary for great bands to have success. They just change things up. Notice Slash never does ballads on his own.Isn't Back to the Moment considered a ballad? What about Far and Away?Maybe I'm a bit confused.

there is no dana only zool Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Sometimes, I wonder if any of those complaining about "cheesy" lyrics have ever been in love with someone.That, and like, the fact that guns probably could have retired off the sales of those singles alone. If not retired, at least lived comfortably for several years on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 What did he exactly write in the early 90s? The lyrics or the piano sheet? Axl: I wrote and recorded a new love song that I want on the next record called 'This I Love', that's the heaviest thing that I've ever done [Hit Parader, 1993] So I guess a demo version of Axl playing piano and singing was recorded while on the UYI tour. The song itself was probably written in France in June 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Of course it was, I doubt Axl wrote a song in 1992/1993 thinking it'd be great with Robin Finck on it. I'm not even sure he was writing songs in 2000 thinking they'd be great with Robin Finck on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GN'R Lies Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I don't think you write a song for someone to play a part to.I also can't see how you could have a better solo than what is on the album. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not retired, at least lived comfortably for several years on. I don't think the lyrics of TIL are cheesy, I just think the original version of the song is boring and depressing, which makes it the song on CD I like the least.That said, I like the new version from the leak, oddly. Axl's vocals are awesome and I like how the song has a more upbeat feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trqster Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's a very heavy, emotional song for Axl to sing....it's pretty obvious when he sings it here for instance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millions Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Robin's soulful, emotional solo on this song is so much like Slash's style, that I don't think its too unrealistic to think that there may be a much earlier version of this song kicking around somewhere with Slash playing the solo. In fact, its quite possible that Robin's solo is strongly based on Slash's much earlier work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguy Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I always disliked the solo very much. Then I found this forum and was amazed that people say it's the greatest solo ever. Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It's a Stephanie ballad, and was started in 1993-1994, so I would assume so I actually think it was originally about Erin. Miser cracked that one I believe. I think the lyrics were written before he met Steph, if not mistaken.Correct. Good question, KK. I've wondered how TIL would sound with a Slash solo too. I was never a fan of Robin's solo - it's too shreaky for me. I think a bluesy solo would have fit the song better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl sounds like he's sitting on a cold toilet seat for the first half of that song The second half it looks like his balls are taking some sort of beating...Yikes.
