The faster version played by Slash / Miles sucks IMO. Though their two-minute intro is great. I never noticed the faster tempo with SMKC. Did they play it faster than the radio/album version? I remember VR used to play it slower but once the song hit the radio it was speed up and shortened and VR played that way for a while. Eventually they weren't back to the extended bridge. During the liberated tour if I remember correctly. I don't care to for the extended intro as much as I do for the extended bridge. Love Scott's oooo's over the awesome bass, drums & Slash's playing and how the song starts back up and ends with a blast. The long intro works since they've been playing it at the end of the show as part of the encore. The build up to arguably on of Slashs best songs and Serling closer works. If GNR ever played it it would probably be earlier in the set. The long intro wouldn't be necessary.

Popular Post tsinindy Posted June 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2016 I've decided I'm going to post daily in this thread just to be generally annoying. Guns N Roses should play Guns N Roses songs. I go to see them play their songs not covers (and yes VR songs played by GnR are covers, AC/DC songs played by GnR are covers, Slash songs played by GnR are covers). GnR have a whole catalogue of fantastic songs (some rarely played). Play those songs, get rid of the seeker, no slither, no AC/DC, etc.. Play your own fucking songs. Rant over for today, see you tomorrow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Think About You is one of their most underrated songs along with Dead Horse . The only thing fucking ridiculous is your comment I don't think Dead Horse is underrated. It was played in the Skin N' Bones tour and people loved it. I hope they bring that one back. Thank you for the rest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby845 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Man I still think to this day that Velvet Revolver were the same force on-stage as GnR in their prime 1993.. as well as the only true pure rock n roll band that elicited since GnR... shame they don't exist anymore.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Matt, Duff and Slash really have something special. Kush was the best possible compliment, and Scott the perfect frontman. There was an energy in those shows that really captured the rock n roll spirit. VR live was better than the current reunion line-up tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorwegianGirl Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 All I could focus on reading that is "think about you" and "nice boys" Kinda strange 'cause that's the two songs I currently need to hear on a daily basis. Hope they'll do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they change or adding anything to Slither it won't be because of this opinion as it is in the extreme minority. As for Steven hill will never be the full time drummer this go around. May next year if they honor AFD30 with Izzy. For now the most you can hope for is the occasional guest spot on AFD songs but you won't hear him play Coma or YCBM for that matter. Certainly won't hear him play the CD songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
