Damn_Smooth Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) i don't get the point of this thread. it's well known slash used to be a sloppy guitar player. he's not above criticism but there are a lot of better examples of his sloppines IMO. comparing him to dj is really idiotic since the only thing they have in common is that both played with axl. they are from completely different generations and schools. also, while dj's main focus is his business (his own words), slash is always recording, releasing music and doing stuff related to guitar. i'll watch axl rose disaster series to feel better, i'm butthurt now.It's OK, You don't get the point of most things. This isn't "used to be sloppy", this is sloppy from 2 days ago. At least you can acknowledge that you're butthurt, I'm proud of you for that. Enjoy your disaster videos. Make sure you pay special attention to DJ's recent SCOM from Golden Gods so you'll finally be able to understand why this particular thread draws a perfect comparison between the two. Cheers. No, I get the point of most things. This one is the only I'm struggling. I wonder why. DJ's SCOM made me able to understand lots of things, specially how great Slash is compared to him. Overlooking your blatant lying about your ability to understand things, the point is that Slash's shit performance here is as big of an embarrassment for Slash as SCOM is for DJ. Not sure how much simpler you need things broken down for you. You need me to help you come to the realization that being better than DJ is comparable to winning the Special Olympics too?The USA anthem is shit anyway. No excuse to shitten it up more.

DR DOOM Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I thought it was going to suck. Sounded fine to me.Pretty much.It wasn't AMAZING, but he didn't fuck it or anything.I've seen a clip of Ace Frehley do a lousy job of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I've seen lots of poor renditions of it. It's one that'll fly by with no "wow," whether good or bad. People shit on it because it's Slash. That's the board.Have you seen Chad Smith play drums to a recording of it at an NBA game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Has nothing to do with it being Slash and everything to do with it being an absolute shit version of an already shitty song. It could be any other guitar player on earth and it wouldn't stop it from being a whole world of shit by itself.

TeeJay410 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just watched it. It doesn't seem much different from any other time he does it. However the sound on that recording wasn't great, made his tone sound weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmass Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I thought it was just a yawner. Wouldn't say he "slaughtered" it rather he just played it really boring. Atleast they asked him and he did it. Has LA even asked Axl/TB and would he have balls to do it (and TB's permission)?

Zint Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What the shit was that??? I know it's a crap song to begin with, but seriously here, every YouTuber that has ever played it has done better. Including DJ jr. Listen to the announcer, and the crowd in the background, that's soundboard audio.Even your precious DJ would sound like that performing it if the feed was via soundboard on the video.I'll bet it sounded killer in the arena.Nice thread though, you even got to say "butthurt".

Tee hee. Funny. If DJ or Bubble or Fortus woulda done it (they'd never be asked because you have to have done something deserving to be asked) half the crowd....make that 95% of crowd woulda said "cool....another beer before game starts".

No excuse to shitten it up more.No, SCOM was out of tune, DJ had the opportunity to start again, restart it using other strings (not sure if he's able to do that), it's even more embarassing when you stop to think he actually kept on going like there was nothing wrong Slash's performance was meh, I have no problem admitting it and seems to be the general consensus. You're the one making it a big deal because you want to cupcake the Slash fans.Being better than DJ is nothing. DJ shouldn't even be included in this discussion, you decided to call Slash "DJ Senior" or some stupid shit like that, adding him to the discussion. You can thank the mods for changing that for you.I'm not even a Slash fan. His Paulino Rubio song is embarassing. This is boring and average, like his solo carreer. He's still a rock icon, admired and respected by pretty much everyone in the business.I liked "quiet" DS more, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
