bran Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 this is interesting especially coming right after his comments where he sounded kind of sad/pissy about duff playing with gnr. i think this debunks the whole "slash is over gnr/axl" stuff some people throw out their.

wasted Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 So you'd throw out Nov Rain and Estranged even Locomotive bcos Axl slapped a bitch.Slash was always drunk.Are we talkin' about SCOM or other songs? Stay on topic. Slapped a bitch? I wouldn't call her a bitch even if she was since I don't know her.Slash was always drunk. Shit! I didn't know!! ...and? How does that affect Axl or Erin or SCOM? I think it effects what he says. He's just laid back in comments about SCOM. You're the one saying Axl can't sing love songs because he beat up his girl. Maybe you're right. But then you have to look at a lot of songs. Just saying. Axl says on This I Love what's the use of confession to a crime with passions that won't die in his heart. Having a bad temper doesn't mean you can't feel love either. I don't think anyone could live by these standards. If you can don't listen to SCOM. I totally agreed with Slash when he said it. It was all about Easy, brownstone for me. Then UYI came out I was more into RNDTH, perfect Crime, DTJ, Garen of Eden. But I've come see that actually the success of the band was based on the ballads.

Nosaj Thing Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 You're the one saying Axl can't sing love songs because he beat up his girl.Where did you get that from? I never said he can't sing SCOM because he beat up Erin, the woman the song was about. You said Slash shouldn't have said what he said because SCOM means something to Axl and I simply pointed out that the 'meaning' disappeared the second he laid his hands on her.He can sing, play or perform whatever he wants. He wrote the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably easier to just blow right past what they say. You can't read too much into what Slash says as he's half in the bag anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31illusions Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Song isn't gay. Slash said it was a "up tempo ballad which is one of the gayest things you could right" and then he laughs.Get your wording right before you people insult him.

Again, where am I saying that? maybe I just misunderstood what you said?Axl has said that SCOM is song "about getting fucked in the ass with a coke bottle" so I mean maybe what Slash said isn't that bad.I was merely saying Slash shouldn't really say that stuff about SCOM. That kind of thing continued on UYI. He has a right to his opinion as much as anyone I guess. Just because I work for Marlboro doesn't mean I endorse their product, even though I smoke all the free cartons I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How people aren't getting the context of it is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidcock27 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 i think people need to watch the video of what he fully said before getting so shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 He did say it in the AFD era, it kind of made sense. It was like when Nirvana kept saying they hated play Teen Spirit. It was the biggest hit at the time but not representative of the band really. It's the contraction that bands with punk roots face once they get on MTV.

Popular Post highvoltage Posted April 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2014 Seriously? I read the first three pages of this and couldn't get through any more. Did any of the people bashing Slash actually listen to the sound bite?He was talking about the song in past tense. As in what he originally thought of it... which is consistent with just about everything he's said over the years. He hated SCOM at the start, the riff was just a silly thing he used to warm up that Axl picked up on, and it was different to the other material they'd been writing and playing at the time. At the time, he thought "an up-tempo ballad was the gayest thing you could write". Since then, he's obviously grown proud of the song and sees it in a different light. The very next thing he said in that interview was "it's a great song, I'm not knocking it. It was just that at the time it didn't fit in with the rest of our schtick". Honestly bacardi, way to provide absolutely no context to a comment to stir some shit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 He didn't seem to rip on it. He just said it was not what they really wrote at the time and made a bit of a joke about it.Totally fine, he seems to respect the song now. Seems to like it too as they have been playing it since 2010. Its not like specifically playing SCOM is guaranteeing massive amounts of concert goers as opposed to if it wasn't there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers7503 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 He's the one that came up with the opening riff. Slash should just shut the fuck up and just go away.He's so fucking annoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's seen how many people loved that song and learned to look at it in a new light? Either of those reasons make a lot more sense than what you're trying to push. Here's a clip where he acknowledges Axl initially seeing the potential in the song song. He says he "hated it until around '88 or '89 until it became so big that you couldn't ignore it". http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/Slash-Speaks,-Part-II_-Sweet.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
