What are 3 recent rock songs that you think are good? Don’t scour for tunes to list that you think will be impressive.

Free Bird Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) I think it grabed me. I don't know if it's because of watching the video while listening to the song or because I've listened to it often enough but I like the riff in the verses and I start liking the siren riff when watching the video. And I even like the uptempo parts, especially the short outro. Very rock n roll -ish, Led Zeppelin vibe with Myles screaming. The chorus is a typical Myles hook. I think I like it.

cqleonardo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Love Slash but his stuff with Myles and The Conspirators doesnt excite me, there are some great songs on the albums they released but nothing that blows me away...

Don’t scour for tunes to list that you think will be impressive. Genuinely 3 tracks off the top of your head you like. You didn't ask me directly, but, as someone else who thought the song was mediocre, I'm going to answer LOL Honestly, what does the quality of anyone else's songs have to do with Slash's output? In any case, bands like Queens of the Stone Age find ways to write catchy tunes that rock hard, still have a groove, and yet also find inventive sounds and textures to add character to their songs. Even the rockier tunes on St. Vincent's latest have infinitely more imagination and creativity in their arrangement & production than anything I hear coming from Slash, with the same tone, same pentatonic scales, etc. How about Gojira? The most recent Tomahawk? The new Maiden album? The last Priest? Maiden & Priest are a generation older, and either of those albums, IMO, have so much more variety in texture than anything SMKC can muster. As always, YMMV Edited October 23, 2021 by oneway23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, YMMV Yet you haven't mentioned any rock bands. QOTSA is known for alternate tunings, same with Tomahawk (last record was terrible) and Gojira (how can you compare Gojira with SMKC?). Maiden and Priest are freakin' metal bands dude... SMKC is straight rock and roll band tuned in E/Eb, show me more such bands that their songwriting level is constant. And before you mention Dirty Honey, they did 3 good songs, GVF did one really good album. Shoot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just don't have much of an ear for "rock n' roll" anymore, then There's so much more interesting music out there, and, life is too short. Just like John Frusciante's former guitar tech , Robbie Allen, once told him, "You need the Peppers because you need a pro-level producer to tell you when to reign in your ambitions, and the Chili Peppers need you because they can't write a song without you." Slash is a legendary guitar player, but, he needs competent songwriting partners to frame his playing. I personally find his solo stuff incredibly stale. Again, it isn't a challenge or a competition, and he doesn't need anyone to defend him. YMMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ralphelmo Posted October 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2021 Besides most important news which is that GNR haven't been and isn't writing any new music, it's freakin' awesome to see how enthusiastic he is about this album and SMKC in general. One of the coolest interviews in years. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying all your points are wrong but to say Queens of the Stone Age isn't a rock band is silly. They are a hard rock and stoner rock mix with a little bit of alt-metal thrown in.

Popular Post StrangerInThisTown Posted October 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2021 Myles makes every song sound the same. As much as I like the guy it's just true. That's why all SMKC albums will always sound the same. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Towelie Posted October 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2021 I can't believe anybody legitimately thinks this song is superior to Hard Skool. I find it hard to believe anybody genuinely believes that. Hard Skool ain't the best Guns song, but it shits all over this song, lets be real. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash plagiarising himself perhaps…? It took me a while but I think I found the right one: We have 302k views.

Is that sole reason or maybe another reason they sound the same is that the material that Slash brings to build a song on is just not that interesting enough at times. Both can happen.
