(GN'R) Though even if most of CD2 turns out to be garbage I'd take that over nothing. Good job Nothing arrived then! And that's all we'll be getting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 At least Slash is still releasing records on a regular basis even though not in the same tempo as before the reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl doesn't release anything and the blandness that Myles brings to Slash's records is almost too much to sit through. I think I would have preferred almost anyone else but the PTSD caused by Axl and Scott was probably enough so Myles seems like a godsend. Nicest guy in the world, no bullshit, good vocal range. This way Slash can just do his thing but I think the music suffers for it. Edited June 15, 2021 by Rovim 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A lot of songs suffer from Myles but there're always some Gems on each Slash record. I rather take that than nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like some songs on it but the majority just isn't the music I listen to. On the other hand everytime I listen to Contraband I realize how good that record is. I like it more now than back in 2004. There are some great songs on Contraband, I dug it out recently and it's a fun record! but there are definitely a few not so great ideas on there. All in all, it is a far easier album to get through if you're a classic guns fan than CD, which has a lot of stylistic shifts from song to song. I prefer CD, but Contraband was a pretty kick ass album at the time! The production is a bit stiff, that would be my only complaint, would love if they eventually remixed it and took some of the early 00s veneer off it... that hi-fi sound. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Libertad has some cool songs on it but I think Contraband is much stronger. Of all Slash records I rank Libertad and Apocalyptic Love as the worst while not bad at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That album with Axl on the stronger songs would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather take that than nothing. That is how I felt up until the last record.... Garbage from beginning to end... I though AL had some great songs.. WOF was pretty damn solid even with Myles but the last one was terrible to my ears.. The first solo album had some great stuff too... even the two Myles songs.

metallex78 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Libertad is full of uninspired, bland sounding songs, that don’t go anywhere, and the guitar tones are rubbish. Which to me, when you have Slash in the band, is completely inexcusable. Contraband is a pretty great modern hard rock album, with some nods to classic rock. And it showed so much promise too. But then we got the half-assed Libertad that didn’t really build on the potential that Contraband showed... And yes, this is where the discussion about a new GN’R album is going... to discussing the wasted potential of VR’s second album 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott sounded like he was giving it 110% on the former, and then just completely phoning it in on the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott was definitely phoning it in, to me the Stone Temple Pilots "reunion" album with him in 2010 suffered from the same lack of emotional connection and energy. Libertad and that album are just completely lackluster compared to what Scott was capable of which is a damn shame because that dude in his prime IMO was one of the greats of his generation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
