Tom-Ass Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Just now, Sydney Fan said: I sometimes wonder if he is playing certain parts to add something good to the song or the fact hes bored with the setlist. Hes been in the band for a number of years and basically been on numerous CD tours with the same setlist. There must be alot of boredom in his mind which would show in the playing out of frustration. Not sure but after 2 1/2 years he never grew on me. I don't like the way he plays songs like Don't Cry and Used To Love Her.. I don't think his leads on KOHD and Rocket Queen fit the songs at all. I still don't think he meshes well with Slash. I think you need to make up for Axl's voice with a a great band and Frank and Fortus just don't do that. Thank God for Slash. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's just grateful for Axl to include him in the band even when they didn't need him back in the 90s. As long as he's able to play Pretty Tied Up with Hookers & Blow, he's a happy man! sure not everyone people have great ambition, he is thankeful for this place he has with the band.

Well ill be honest, if slash wasnt in the band i would not have forked out 400.00 when i saw them in feb last year. I have xmas present for a skmc ticket when they tour here in Jan.So the question would be if richard left the band and izzy wasnt a contender for rythym guitar, who could mesh with slash?.. I would say gilby if it were possible. Who else could mesh with slash?. Edited December 11, 2018 by Sydney Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in NuGuns he used to slaughter the first solo for Nov Rain. Made an absolute mess of it. He also couldn't handle the rhythm guitar on Patience - sounded terrible! I think he can mimic other's playing OK but when he adds his own style it sounds shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need a 3rd Disc just for RQ and KOHD! I’m not really sure on the tracklisting. This I Love would probably be on there, Madagascar wouldn’t. Just trying to think how to make it a fun single album. But the whole show will probably come out. Maybe more like a Live Era 2 type thing. Why put out all the same songs as GH and Live era when they could put together something that captures that NITL in 14 tracks. Maybe add Out ta Get me and Michelle with Steven. The Seeker, Wichita and Coma are the singles.

I know we’ve got versions of these songs but CD songs with Slash is interesting, some of the covers aren’t officially released like The Seeker snd Wichita. Then Double and Coma were interesting additions for NITL. Estranged isn’t on GH either. Steven plays on Out ta get Me. Shadow live is of interest. So you can patch together a fun live album that gives you a snapshot of NITL tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most interesting thing in the NITL tour to me has been Slash working on the CD songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a Live Album from the classic era I would be all over it. Even if it was just a remastered Ritz... Never a bad option.. In this case I would like to see a Blu Ray with appearances all over the works that show how the excitement of the whole tour. who cares about the ritz . whisky a go go , trouadour , cathouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavgnr Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Be a shame just to get a live album after this momentum has built up. Sure, it would sell, but the business minded would have to say release a new album early 2019 then kick off next leg of tour autumn later in the year. im hoping, but not expecting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundOfAGun Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 If against all odds we got a new studio album, I hope Axl puts out some lyrics to the standard set on UYI. Paranoid, introspective, angry slices of genius, fair enough; the themes may be different - he is 30 years older, but that level of quality is what I would love to see. CD only really had TWAT with any kind of lyrical quality IMO, there were some other flourishes, but the writing was a step down from UYI overall. Slash can still roll out the killer riffs, he just needs a voice that is not Myles Kennedy to have his music paired with. Duff is as good or better than he was back when they last recorded so no concerns there. I am sure Richard could contribute some nice guitar work, maybe Frank can surprise us all when he is not playing someone else's grooves... If Axl plays to his current vocal strengths, it could be something pretty cool /daydream 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my favorite show of all time. But I did say even if it was "just" the Ritz because we have all seen it. Would still love a full remaster of the whole show. I would love anything from the Appetite 87/88 tour really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 If Slash couldn't even ''play'' and was considered a ''bad joke'' then this tour must have been the shittest tour ever as Rose certainly cannot sing, and it is not Melissa jumping around a keyboard people turn up for. Seriously, I didn't attend but Slash would have been my sole reason for going if I had attended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were hardly any songs that he sounded good the whole way through.. He just sounded good for these days.. Mickey was still every where.. Songs like Sweet Child, Rocket Queen(except maybe Houston), Paradise City were almost always awful.. The End of COMA was always terrible,. The high parts of Estranged and Civil War aren't very good. Yesterday's awful... Jungle was always good but he never sounded good through the whole song. You would really have to sift through every show and find his best rendition of every song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
