I mean, come on, Finck and Buckethead were fucking amazing on the leads on that album. I think Better is... better with the simple, yet cool intro and Slash's solo. There Was a Time had some room for improvement, but seeing as they didn't play it much, I think Slash did a damn good job on the solo. I'm a player of nearly 20 years and can appreciate it from a guitarist perspective. Not perfect with T.W.A.T., but all things considered, pretty damn awesome. It's no secret that CD isn't my favorite album but songs like Better, TWAT and Sorry are blessed with amazing guitar work, no doubt. Fincks Better solo from the studio recording is superior to Slash's live renditions imo. And while his takes on TWAT and Sorry aren't perfect - the studio solos of Buckethead are virtuosic and great - Slash put his own spin on them and made them great by playing them in his style. And I just love the Slash style. It's raw and it's bluesy, and it's rock n' roll. It belongs to GNR.

Also FYI all, someone post proshot RIR 2017 on YouTube a couple days ago. Watch it before it gets pulled:) No links due to a vague recollection that it breaks the rules. Some might argue it deserves to be pulled! 🤣 Apart from a couple of tracks, it’s a very bad gig that folk should not see. Which is super irritating seeing there is a lack of pro-shot footage from NITL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to check the pro shots from 2006 or some of the cameraphone footage from 2009/2010 even the the 2011 and 2012 proshots were quite good London/Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think we won't get selects anymore since the big corona breakdown is over. As always, don't expect much from this band 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmee239 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Listening to TWAT on the selects gives me chills to this day. Unreal how good Axl sounded in 2016 and people still complained. Nowadays the same people are defending his atrocious 2021 vocals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say atrocious…definitely inconsistent though from song to song. I’m glad when I see them next year it’s a fair few gigs into the run which also helps.

Free Bird Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Just rewatched parts of the Latin America selects and what the band starts playing at the 19:02 min. mark had so much potential to become a new bluesy GNR track. Unbelievable. Another missed opportunity. Hopefully they kept that in mind and will use it when Axl's in the mood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
