MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 3 hours ago, Jordan Rose said: Really? I totally agree on TIL but Twat he's about 90% note for note on both and with Better and Sorry he really sticks to the feel of the original. I honestly just think he doesn't like TIL at all going back to the 1993 demo and 'no more Seymour ballads.' That's a good point about Slash and TIL - and probably it is an old point of contention with Slash. That's really where he and Axl had their first proper falling out, I mean a falling out with far reaching consequences, so I can imagine he must feel awkward playing it. I feel like Slash doesn't shine at all on any of the CD tunes, as though he struggles to connect with them, and who could blame him? Haven't heard TWAT yet, but I did like what I heard of Mads from last night. An improvement on the Philly show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Slash’s take on Better, it’s an original and consistent solo that I think is better than Finck’s. However I don’t like or am mixed on Slash’s other CD solos. His TWAT solo is pretty good but Buckethead blows him out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the distorted audio from periscope, but amateur videos tend to mess up the audio quality indeed. Not the rasp though. Vocally though JUST VOCALLY, the best nightrain for me was in Tokyo, 2009. For sure, it was a GREAT night train, there was another around that round of dates where Axl sung the first verse an octave higher and it's one of the best for me ! Also, most modern mics on camera phones or even semi-pro cameras, 99% what is used to capture these videos we critique, can not capture the audio fidelity that a pro shot at Rio gives/shows us (obviously) So they miss off flaws, and tend to highlight positives, like rasp, as it comes through well on lower quality mics.... Where as the clear voice, in amongst crowd and band is more blurred. As I said though, definitely a better Night Train but looking at a better quality video from last night, no where near 2010 IMO ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Is there a video of TWAT from last night?

Not crazy about Sorry due to lack of menacing vocals...the whole point of that song is menace. I agree that Buckethead's TWAT solo is phenomenal and I think that's why I have a hard time warming to Slash's interpretation...it just pales in comparison. It's like he shouldn't stick as close to the original as possible because that only highlights the difference, he should really put his own stamp on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Sorry was that cool creepy Pink Floyd sound. He should have had David Gilmore come in to do work on it. But point is I don't feel like it's an aggressive tune. It just requires some cool anger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Axl's vocals come in at the end, it's like the voice of doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFGnR Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Great recording of a strong Jungle. Sometimes, I wish Axl was a fitness nut. Funny thing when MarkitAnEight's vids are better and more enjoyable than any recent pro shot. Edited October 13, 2017 by AFGnR 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Glad to see Axl is sounding good with my show coming up.. I just watched Paradise City and it wasn't bad at all.. The temp of the main riff seemed to be slowed down a bit.. It had a great groove... The solo at the end was killer too. I still wish Axl wouldn't sing over Slash's iconic lead near the intro.. That just never sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first song I turned around and it seemed pretty damn solid. It's hard to tell when everybody is standing, but I really didn't see much for emits seating.

Haven't heard TWAT yet, but I did like what I heard of Mads from last night. An improvement on the Philly show. Well the very first time they played TIL last year Slash made a point of walking right up to Axl's throne and playing directly just to him with a shitload of feeling. Axl nodded his approval and closed his eyes towards the end. Awesome moment. So that was very much Slash's way of saying sorry for some of that stuff, IMO. I haven't watched enough videos to form a strong opinion on whether Slash connects with the CD stuff at all and I haven't been up close in the pit. I do really feel he appreciates Twat and likes the solos otherwise why would he stick so close to them both? I did notice him really jumping and getting into Madagascar the other night, despite not having much to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
