Hence why I'm the middle eight it's almost guitarless Fair enough, same with Silkworms, and Goin Down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yeah I don’t like the BBF versions of Silkworms, Going Down, and OMG. I much prefer all of the other versions we have of each of those songs (including the fanmade remixes of each). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumandraisin Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I like that Silkworms has that chord change in the verse but prefer the 2000 version. Although wish it had some guitars on it considering how they played it live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're just dying for an Axl version of Mind Your Manners, but try to be realistic. I do expect Slash to replace and/or mutilate Robin and Bucket's parts, but I don't think Axl is going to be inspired to write new material to the garbage Slash comes up with these days. So you are definitely one of those who don't get that Slash's more or less the same and still fantastic at what he does best, riffs and solos. And with each member of Guns who adds his input and concentrates on his strenghts, the outcome will be tighter. Many Axl-Slash moments are unmatched in music history. That wouldn't be possible without a certain chemistry and that's something you have or you haven't. You can add dozens of other guitarits as replacements and it will not be the same. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoGNR5 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Where did the title “Stay of Execution” came from?, just a fan using his illusions a little too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don’t like how SMKC albums turn out... The riffs are potent! Also I tend to think Slash isn't stupid when it comes to knowing when he's gotten hold of something potentially special. He knew Fall To Pieces as a riff had crossover appeal and squirreled it away-- I think his "GNR folder" is conscious of a certain quality or potential stadium-sized considerations. He has a musical ego and a stake in the GNR legacy. I imagine his worst-case scenario is using them down the line in SMKC, if nothing materializes with respect to Guns... I think he's probably sitting on some cool shit. Edited April 7, 2020 by Ant 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Slash's riffs have been mediocre at best since Snakepit. On the last SMKC release only the melodic stuff (TGP & TOYLGA) was interesting. Edited April 7, 2020 by ShadowOfTheWave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the argument about songs and how they utilized the riffs... but not the riffs themselves ... between the six SMKC/VR records? Bad take. I mean, I like Snakepit the best of his solo stuff, too, but... if the argument is he doesn't have the creative capacity anymore, it's just not gonna fly. He's best with co-writers sure, that's what people want out of this thing, but as Free Bird said, his primary skill is intact for a new GNR album.

I know Slash's hardcore fans love stuff like Halo, Wicked Stone, BTSS, ect. and a lot those riffs are good but imo they don't compare to stuff like Beggars, Be The Ball, Serial Killer, Speed Parade. On the harder stuff imo he's an older artist going through the motions, solid but forgettable. On the melodic stuff though, I think he still produces a melody every now and then that is creative and stands up to his past work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Still think Contraband is the most cohesive and solid album Slash has been involved in since GNR. That and the first Snakepit album >>>> anything SMKC, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) So, to put things in perspective: November 2018: Alan Niven says Slash told him in September 2018 Axl is picking out CD II songs to be featured on the new release April 2019:Slash says they will begin to work on new album after the mini tour ends April 2019: Slash records in Axl's home studio November 2019: Mini tour ends January 2020: Slash says there's "recording" going on March 2020: Slash says he's been doing Guns stuff in the studio Despite the delusions of some, it's very unlikely Axl is going to write new lyrics to new Slash/Duff compositions. In 2016 Axl made it clear the next album was going to be CD stuff whether Slash and Duff played on it or not. How long could Slash replacing Robin/Bucket parts possibly take? This has to be finished by next year if the guys are telling the truth, right? Edited April 8, 2020 by ShadowOfTheWave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfisman Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Actually it should not take that long if it was just replacing some parts. Unless they're doing a lot of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
