NicoRourke Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 If i kid on you tube can play TWAT it would be too easy for Slash! I dont get whats so "Epic" about the solo anywayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmOPp50CgBABecause it has several momentum, it builds up and up with Robin then we have the Buckethead apotheoses. It's long with multiple styles and a lot of emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybebad Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Slash can't play Shackler's Revenge's soloGood. The less that "solo" is ever heard, the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Slash couldn't even wank his way through most of ChiDem's big solos without bastardizing them with his "technique", so I'd only imagine tracks like Street of Dreams, Madagascar and This I Love making the cut from the album in a reunion tour..maybe Catcher in the Rye alsowhat do you mean? adding some soul?

Bono Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I could see them playing CD and BetterAs for the TWAT solo it's incredibly overrated. Nothing special about it whatsoever. Those thinking Slash couldn't play it or do it justice or even improve on it are idiots. Sorry but that's just true whether you love that solo or not.

NicoRourke Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Nothing special whatsoever? I'm very very happy to be one of those idiots that think it doesn't need improvement. Same goes for Estranged or NR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those thinking Slash couldn't play it or do it justice or even improve on it are idiots.I don't think Slash can't play it as it is. It is not his style and there are elements in it that I have never heard Slash play before (not talking about the kill switch part but something that comes just before it).Do it justice? Don't think so, really. I love that solo and any failed attempt at playing it is jarring to my ears.Improve on it? It's probably my favourite guitar solo from GN'R, so I strongly doubt it. He could surely have come up with another good solo in its place, but based on his recent releases I just don't see how he could come up with anything as great. Maybe 20 years ago.Am I an idiot for thinking this? That may be, but at least I accept that someone else might not think the solo is great and thus believe Slash might improve on it. That's okay, we are all different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Something I should mention (in case it hasn't already been talked about here):The idea of Slash and Duff playing a CD song or two only makes sense if the rumor is true that Richard, Frank, and Pitman are still involved. Otherwise, playing any CD track whatsoever makes no sense at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it makes sense to Axl? He is, after all, the one who would call the shots on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Name is Trinity Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Guns N'Roses shouldn't cover Axl's solo songs. The Stones don't play Keith's or Mick's solo songs, why should GNR?If they play CD songs, then they should also play VR songs (they're more gnrish than the CD songs).The idea of Slash and Duff playing a CD song or two only makes sense if the rumor is true that Richard, Frank, and Pitman are still involved. Otherwise, playing any CD track whatsoever makes no sense at allYeah because Fortus and Frank were so important in the songwriting process. And CD is so popular out there !

Bobbo Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The nu band were only playing about four songs from it (on average) for the last two years they were touring. They were seemingly phasing out the songs anyways, it seems.There's no way in fuck I believe Slash would agree to playing any CD stuff. I can't even begin to imagine the real members covering songs from a cluster fuck of an era and a black sheep record for such little incentive and such non existent reward. It's utterly pointless. 95% of any given attendance doesn't give a shit about nu guns songs. Why bring up such a point of contention when, maybe, at best, 15 people of a crowd of thousands would even want it/appreciate it? The public already made up their minds on CD a long time ago, and it's best left forgotten and buried if a reunion of the real band ever happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 After Slash's divorce he might relate to CD songs more but it probably doesnt make sense to play Chi dem, Shackler's, SOD, TWAT, Scraped, Sorry, Madagascar, Prostitute. But BetterIf the WorldCatcherIRSThis I Love could be great live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Guns N'Roses shouldn't cover Axl's solo songs. The Stones don't play Keith's or Mick's solo songs, why should GNR?Your refusal to acknowledge the simple fact that Chinese Democracy is an actual Guns N' Roses record is entertaining.There's no way in fuck I believe Slash would agree to playing any CD stuff.And this is yet another reason why Axl will probably never reunite with Slash .

wasted Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 a reunion would probably be bad for Axl's legacy. It just gives people an easy way to dismiss CD and say see he couldn't be successful without Slash etc. So if there was a reunion the least they could do was play Better, Catcher and This I Love.

Ij don't know about that... If Slash is hired as the new lead guitar player, one would think he would be obligated to at least try to play all of the songs required.

Bobbo Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If that's really what would cause deal breaker status on Axl's end, then yeah. For all the reasons I stated in my initial post, and also for the fact that it was technically (and legally) created by a completely different entity under a familiar label anyways. To make that part of the deal is ridiculous. For what purpose other than to stroke Axl's ego, and to enable his delusion people want to hear material that they really don't give a fuck about? It'd be like Eddie Van Halen refusing to go on stage unless Roth sings x amount of songs from Van Halen III. The premise is absolutely absurd.

Or maybe Slash isn't as petty as some here and would love to play on some songs off CD? Who knows?

Maybe someone will ask him, if he ever grows a pair and comes out of hiding to talk more about his alleged new friendship with Axl.Look, if CD or any CD song had made a significant enough impact, where even half of any given audience were warm to their form, I could maybe see your point. But that's not the case. Most either don't give a fuck, or straight up want that shit swept under the rug. To make this a term, and to create a feeling of awkwardness for Slash (due to him not liking the songs and/or not feeling comfortable playing them) for such an insignificant portion of the audience that would even appreciate it is stupid. For Axl to walk away from a reunion over it would be straight up fuckin petty.We obviously can't really debate what other reasons Axl would have a stick up his ass playing with Slash again, as we barely know anything concrete from Axl's end. Seeing how he's a pretty cryptic bastard and all that. Well, I suppose we could debate how he comes across as petty cunt a lot of the time, but I just don't have the time or energy. I'm just debating this one hypothetical point.And I won't disagree or agree with you about Slash "growing a pair" until we know more about whatever the fuck may be going on. Time will tell I guess Edited September 20, 2015 by Bobbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepsun Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If they place CD songs, it will be most likely This I love, maybe Better and CD. This I Love would be amazing with Slash, as it was being written in the 90s while he was still in the band.Slash could definitely come up with something that would make those three songs sound 'more' GNR. Duff already knows those songs too. Question is.. I wonder if Axl will do By The Sword or Fall to Pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
