The ending of the solo, that's what I'm talking about, I love that!" and then Slash is just like "Yeah man whatever." Just watched the video. What I didn't get from your post is that the part of the solo Axl seemed to enjoy was actually play by Fortus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jamillos Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Nothing happened to his playing, he’s just bored with playing the same stuff for six years. And he doesn’t have to follow the original Nu-GNR solos rigorously and devoutly, as these are not those huge, fundamental hits like SCOM; plus the casuals don’t give a shit anyway. Being in his shoes, I'd do the same. Edited June 22, 2022 by jamillos 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in his shoes, I'd do the same. I don't get it. I don't think anyone would be that annoyed if he just played an entirely new solo that fits the song. If he doesn't care at all, just play whatever on rhythm and let Richard play the solo, as he does in Madagascar. Again, it's not about playing note for note, it's about playing something that actually fits. I wouldn't do the same because I wouldn't want to look bad (as even people unfamiliar with the song would think his solo sucked) or showing that I'm not professional about it. Also, why should we care if the casuals give a shit or not? They don't give a shit if it's Coma or Locomotive either. Reckless Life isn't a hit either, and if they play Pretty Tied Up or not, 90% of the crowd wouldn't give a flying fuck. I really don't get why this is something that we, as a bunch of die-hard fans (if we post here, I think that qualify us), shouldn't care or at least give an opinion. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Didn't take SOD seriously, that's what happened. Mind you his Prague solo on it was better than the other times he's tried to improv his way thru it.

jacdaniel Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I listened to the 2nd night and I actually prefer Slash's part. Richards tone for lead guitar is not my cup of tea at all and I actually find he overplays way too much on rythm guitar and even lead. His solo on Nightrain is terrible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certain songs in the set that he seems to still enjoy, like Nightrain, Coma, stuff like that. He seems to be into the AC/DC stuff too (probably because it's something different that he likes). But like he told Matt, "it's just a gig." He plays CD songs that he otherwise doesn't care for and then gets to play stuff like Coma, DTJ, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right, I just heard his 2nd performance in Warsaw and it was much, much better. But I recognize some licks (at the ending) from the 1st performance, maybe he does have some form of structure thought out for the song. Maybe he just got confused or forgot something on that other night. So yeah, it seems that a lot of what I said previously he proved me wrong. IMO, he cared about this song, he has some sort of structure for the solo and what he played was much more cohesive with the backing instrumental. 2 hours ago, jacdaniel said: Richards tone for lead guitar is not my cup of tea at all and I actually find he overplays way too much on rythm guitar and even lead.

ZoSo Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The Street of Dreams solo Slash played in Groningen was a lot better IMHO. Seemed to have more structure and more held notes and feel than his previous attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thunderram Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) On 6/18/2022 at 1:12 PM, EvanG said: Slash isn’t as technical as a player like those nu-GnR guys, so he can’t play them exactly note for note even if he wanted to. For example, Slash can’t sweep pick. At least I’ve never seen him do so. You’re delusional if you believe he can’t. He chooses not to because he doesn’t want to. You probably never heard Stevie Ray Vaughan or BB King or Eric Clapton use those techniques very often, if ever, either. Or tap like EVH. Because it’s not to their liking or preferred style. SLASH is on record as never being interested in the tapping thing as he considers it an Eddie thing. Im pretty certain if he wanted to learn, use and perfect those techniques he could. Would you expect AXL to sing a Queen song like Freddie did? Or sing Black Hole Sun as Chris Cornell did?? Same goes for SLASH and guitar playing. He plays how he likes to play and doesn’t want to emulate anyone else. And God bless him for that!

Revisiting songs he didn’t work on just doesn’t excite him. Now as a guy just on a keyboard over the internet I’m obviously looking too deep into it but I think it’s entirely possible. What I was most looking forward to with the reunion was Slash putting his own epic spin on CD solos. I thought he will be extremely motivated to prove to everyone that he is the one and only axman for GNR and that CD would be much better with him on the lead. I was expecting epic This I Love solo, extended blues solo.. Instead we got out of key noodling on every CD song. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jacdaniel Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 This is an utterly bizarre thread. I mean, Axl hasn't sounded great on lots of songs since at least 2017. Not to mention he has zero interest in actually writing new music. Frank is arguably the poorest drummer in the band's history. Melissa and Dizzy are not exactly essential members. Richards tone is quite poor and he overplays a lot on rhythm guitar. The band played practically the same set list for years and years. Of all the things to be annoyed about in the Guns N Roses world, I think this is a very minor issue. The band are selling out stadiums because Slash and Duff are back. I don't even see the big issue with his CD solo's. I think they improved CD and Better and do most of the songs justice. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
