DR DOOM Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm about to crash so I won't list 10 right now but I love the solos (and guitar in general) on So Fine and The Garden, two songs often labelled as shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Nightrain, Easy, Brownstone, Estranged, November Rain, SCOM, Civil War, Jungle, Paradise City, Coma. All of them are great from his time in Guns imo. You can't really choose just 10 Slash solos.It's like choosing best 10 Axl vocals. Can't be done. Perhaps 20, but still difficult. That's how good he was/is as a guitar player. Edited January 3, 2016 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Yeah, he really fucking nails it on Give Into Me. He also did a great job on MJ's D.S. as well. I also love his lead work on Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid too.As for GNR, the obvious ones, November Rain, Estranged, SCOM, Nightrain, Coma, Locomotive etc. One that I love that never gets mentioned is Since I Don't Have You - the Les Paul just sings on that one.As for his solo work, I don't really feel he's done any solos that particularly stand out compared to his GNR work. He did some good shit on the second Snakepit album, particularly on Serial Killer and Back To The Moment, and his solos on VR's Messages and You Got No Right were beautiful. But in terms of his solo albums or his stuff with Myles, it's not really amongst his best work. Edited January 3, 2016 by Towelie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) In no particular orderParadise City, Slither, Serial Killer, Fields Of Joy, Street Child, Nothing To Say, Don't Damn Me, Crucify The Dead, Come On Come In, Coma.Cool list. Fields Of Joy is killer. (thanks for introducing it to me) Slash composed some really good shit for Lenny. Street Child he captured something very special. Like... you almost wish it was a part of a Guns song it's so good. But I like it as it is. Slash is a master of capturing the mood of the song and coming up with solos that are many times the peak of the song. Like Don't Cry for example, it's just as powerful as the outro imo. Always liked Come On, Come In. Edited January 4, 2016 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Those November Rain solos are insane. What are the odds Axl would have a guitarist who could come up with material for that song that matched the quality of material Axl provided for that song? Axl and Slash made some amazing music together Edited January 4, 2016 by Caught_in_a_Coma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
