Maybe aside from If The World. Look at the title track. My god that bass. Twangy and fat and just so upfront. The double snare hits. The shorter intro. Buckets solo is nice though so maybe the ideal version is the 2007 leak, although it doesn't have the slap of the 2001 mixes. I think bumbles fretless riff made the title track so much better, definitely gave it some swagger which the others didn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Dave Abbruzzese interview where he talks about his time in Gn'R and Axl. not sure if this is new and the audio quality is not very good, but found it interesting (Gn'R part starts at the 51:13 mark) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the song "Make Me Lose Control". It was such a great 80s tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoMw94 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Excluding solo spots (but not excluding The Godfather theme), Slither is currently GN'R's 33rd most-played song – beating the likes of Yesterdays, Shadow of Your Love, Reckless Life, Pretty Tied Up, and So Fine.

He'd no doubt use his clean voice if GN'R ever did that song, but we can dream, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Managed to pick up one of my holy grails. I’ve been after this for literally decades and after a couple of blows when I was working in the Middle East late last year, where two appeared for sale that were bought, never worn and boxed away for 23 years, I thought I’d missed my chance. As absurd as it may seem to some, that 2001 incarnation of the band is probably my favourite, with them largely responsible for the groundwork for the entirety of the Chinese era.

Rovim Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 the Perhaps music video is really well made and editing is also great. really makes a more emotional connection with the tune. I feel like they went for it with the ballad and it reminds me of the PC music video so it's a cool thing Gn'R did imo also representing the curent lineup in a proper way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, now imagine they would do a "watch us inside the studio creating" video like Slash did for Killing Floor, which is a hell of a video, instead of that horrendous The General video (or preferably for a different song anyway). Now that would be something! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
