Popular Post metallex78 Posted December 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2021 New Slash single, Fill My World, is out on Friday in the US, and already available for those in Australia (like me). It’s a pretty nice ballad, though you could be mistaken for thinking that riff is Slash drunkenly attempting to play Sweet Child O Mine… https://youtu.be/gLEVHq3mXqo 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It's kind of nice, I like it. I'm sure in the context of the album it'll be pretty cool. All my previous complaints about the mix/production still apply though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuerta86 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Just heard it and I love it. I do hear the resemblance to SCOM in the intro but its just the structure and its still its own thing. Slash is on a roll with these two tracks. I don't mind the production considering the album was recorded in 5 days. I Edited December 3, 2021 by Chuerta86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapidfire Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The SCOM is undeniably a big influence to this. A sunny feel-good vibe that SMKC or Slash hasn't done in awhile (or since I can remember). Reminds me a little of Sunny Side Of Love by Aerosmith, which is a track I really dig. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Fuck it. Once you realize those are not all boring standard notes played, but that some of them are those "dirty" sounding double stops in the intro, it's great. That intro is fucking great.

Rovim Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) didn't really care for the song itself, but I like the solo. It's not as fluid as most of Slash's solos usually are, and it's not exactly ambitious, but I like it.

I'm thinking maybe that's the point, he was going for something a little more basic sounding on this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siraddam Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Great guitar work. One of their best songs so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The song is even placed at the exact same spot as SCOM is on AFD - 4th last song. And the album closes with a 6 minute epic, like Rocket Queen. Did Slash get bored and try to redo the AFD formula?

Martin Riggs Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Bright-toned pop-rocker “Fill My World,” That actually is a good description of the song. Not my favorite genre of tunes typically but I actually do like this song. Really has a more upbeat vibe to it than most SMKC tunes. Good to see they’re still changing it up and not on autopilot. Good pick for radio as well imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It sounds like the take before the final take, Slash isn't playing very sure of himself (to my ears), vocal is a bit underwhelming too. Production is very, very stark... Maybe that's a bit jarring? But I think the guitars are the let down on this track. Songs is so so. Not something I need to hear again, compared with you're a lie or world on fire which I knew straight were great songs. Riff is kinda Foo Fighter lite. 19 minutes ago, Martin Riggs said: Bright-toned pop-rocker “Fill My World,” That actually is a good description of the song.

I'm liking it more now that I've heard it a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Forgot this dropped today. My hot take while listening for the first time: I like the weepy intro riff. Reminiscent of “Sweet Child” but crunchier. Myles sounds really good as the verses kick in. I enjoy this more laid back vocal style versus the high falsetto. The lyrics are what they are. They’re just OK. But I’m a sucker for these kinda saccharine songs. Hmm. Pre-chorus is a little weak. Ohhhh, chorus is catchy. Especially the main line, “Turn the key. Please come back to me.” Waiting for the inevitable solo now …. there it is. Buttery. Fits the song perfectly. I called the intro riff “weepy” and the solo fits that description too. Strong second single IMO. I like his after just one listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Really good phrasing in solo, no unnecessary noodlin', well chosen notes. This song is growing on me big time. Needless to say, I think for the first time in SMKC history the bio of the songs can relate to actual music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top-Hatted One Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Not impressed . Yet another song I will put away forever after a handful of listens. Didn’t think they’d possibly put out something worse than LTD but with these 2 songs they managed to. Hope the rest of the songs are salvageable. Even LTD had some moments. They seem to be getting worse and even more generic with every release Edited December 4, 2021 by Top-Hatted One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Really like the hooks. So sick of those bland Myles's choruses, so this was somewhat refreshing. Beautiful solo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Interesting all the comparisons to SCOM. It's not the first time. Loving The Alien by VR has that high pitched picking all over it. He's done it before. To the trained ear you can hear that in several of his songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on here once described Loving The Alien as "Sweet Child O' Yesterdays" which I always thought was funny Fill My World seems like the most obvious comparison to SCOM though, and not in a good way...

They sound very tired.. Up until somewhat recently I would have thought I was insane if I said I didn't have an interest in buying a new Slash album or an EP of "New GnR music" he is on.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
