They played Aint talkin' Bout Love & Runaround. They were not well received, I think mostly due to Weiland. Do you think they would add a song since they have a history of doing this? If so , what song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 20 hours ago, ToonGuns said: Me too. I'm not a guitarist so I don't understand why it has changed, but that 90's sound was always unmistakably Slash... just perfect, and it's missing now. Is it kit (amps, pedals etc), or his fingers / playing? I think he's trying to mimic the AFD's tone with less gain now. His new Gibson signature guitars are also missing the Seymour Duncan pickups, but I think he still uses it in his live set. 11 hours ago, Free Bird said: Seemingly there's no way we'll hear Slash tapping anything so he never will play solos like Beat It note for note. Slash won't be the problem if the band decides to cover a song. There are weaker spots in GNR right now...guess who? He could try, but it's not his style, I get it. But he still could get a bit more close to the original source. It just didn't sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest in hearing any more covers When you think about it Guns' discography is literally c. 25% covers... the Aerosmith etc stuff on Lies, Live and Let Die, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Whole Lotta Rosie b-side, Jumping Jack Flash, the entire Spaghetti Incident, Sympathy for the Devil... and now Wichita and Black Hole Sun in the set. Farcical really. If they released another UYI-esque double album of original material they could literally halve their covers %. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matinator Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My favorite part of the VH hall of fame fiasco was that VR invited DLR to play with them but he wanted to do Jump, and according to Scott Weiland VR didn’t feel comfortable bringing a keyboard onstage. Huh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there was a time when GnR did covers and sounds tons way better than original. Prime time of their lives. Will not comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I LOVE Slash, so what I'm about to say isn't a slight at Slash. It's more praise of EVH, but Slash can NOT play VH, he just can't. That VR performance of Runaround was just plain dreadful (can you even find it on YouTube anymore?) I feel like it's been removed on purpose, because of how terrible it was. They did an ok job on ain't talking bout love. So the thought of gnr playing VH is NOT a good idea. EVH was on a different level than Slash, which isn't a knock on Slash cause EVH was on a different level than 99% of the people that ever picked up a guitar. Slash played Crazy train at some Ozzy thing a few years back, and that was terrible as well. He just struggles with the virtuoso style of guitar playing. He can play blues rock and riff rock like nobody's business, but NOT stuff like VH. I'd LOVE to hear Axls take on some VH songs though. That does appeal to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you but I think it even depends on your expectations. I never expected him to play VH note by note and while his Beat It solo is far away from the original and didn't reach it in any way, I think it's still a good Slash solo. Also Ain't Talking Bout Love was surprisingly well played by VR. No issues with that one at all. Having said that, GNR brought enough covers songs into their playlist. That means, before they think about doing another cover, they should think about what cover to replace.

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I hope they don't but if they did I wouldn't be surprised if they played Ain't Talkin' Bout Love. Maybe an instrumental version like Wish You Were Here. If I could choose I'd pick Little Dreamer. I like to think Axl would sound good on that one.
