It's just that since the very first time I heard Slither, I thought "Jesus. Axl would sound awesome on this, but it'll never happen" Same here man and it goes for Slash's solo songs too like Ghost and Anastasia. Axl would sound so awesome in those. @iiii]; )' is looking at this thread now, is it Slash or someone from his management or some random dude?

shotsfired cro Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I always thought if they were gonna do VR songs it would be Slither and Slash song Anastasia, suits best Ax voice. As for the rest...Why Nic boys and Think about.... I would preffer seeing more UYI songs. Breakdown, Lomotive, Pretty tied up, Dead horse, Bad Apples, Garden of Eden, Get in the ring...

Popular Post James Bond Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2016 I mentioned in the Social Media thread that I'm all for "side project" songs like Slither over more unrelated covers. At least Slash and Duff were involved in the creative process and the song was a hit on rock radio. It'll go over well and Axl will probably sound great on it. Drop The Seeker from the encore forever and plunk this in its place. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I think it will be Duff singing even though we now know that Axl really doesn't need those breaks he takes in the middle of GNR sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnfnrs1972 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Not only should they do slither live, they should record it on the new album as a bonus track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfzero Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 If Axl sings it, it would be Mr brownstone voice (most likely) or the 1994 Come Together voice, but Duff fits that song better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSHGUNS Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I have seen slither be played 4 times live and its a incredible live song i believe, thinks its even better than the album track so it would be a incredible song to be added to the GNR live arsenal. It would get folk jumping for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprite Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It would be cool. And I think Axl's voice would work. He and Scott both have that low register punk-ish element to their voices so I'm down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nonok Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2016 I remember how in all those "What VR/SMKC song should Axl sing?" threads, eeeveryone spoiled people's fun by being obnoxious a-holes and going "Well, Axl's never going to agree, don't get your hopes up", yada yada. Honestly, the big 3 have reunited after 20 years, Axl sounds like in the 80s/90s, Slash and Duff are voluntarily playing CD stuff, they played fuckin' Coma, the rarest, most beloved deep cut in their catalogue, and you all still believe something's impossible for this band? Now along comes GNR to once again prove everyone wrong. "Let's be reasonable" - fuck off. Btw, that was just a little rant because I'm absolutely stoked about this, no offense meant here. Can't wait to hear Fall to Pieces too. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love duff but his singing is just not good, sorry but it's not. They have one of the greatest rock singers of all time in their band, it'd be silly to not use him.

starlight Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 wow this is great news ! And as long as Slash and Duff are on it,it's a GNR song to me, plus Slither is a great rock song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I love Duff's solo stuff and i really dig his voice, but Axl would be my choice over Duff for Slither. That song would sound insane with Axl. (All this taking about the song makes me miss Weiland.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliff Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) lol at Duff being able to cover Weiland.. if it does happen it's definitely going to be Axl. Duff will sing the "hey" parts Edited June 16, 2016 by spliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud10 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I wonder if Axl ever made peace with Scott. A couple of months before he died was around the time Slash said him and Axl were friends. Scott died right before the reunion was announced. Scott did say some pretty terrible things about Axl if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
