megaguns1982 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 In the current climate of Being a fan, what does everyone think of the last studio guitars parts they laid down together? did they Re-capture the Afd magic? Could it have been the next massive GnR comeback tune if Axl had sung on it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Izzy was on this track?! Was really into this album and never recalled that being mentioned, but gonna need to recheck some sources from that time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 It's a solid enough tune. Good groove. I wouldn't say Izzy on it is anything more than a novelty. It's very much a "Slash solo song" in that the guitars lack any sort of interplay like that which made the AFD unification so magical, but it's cool nevertheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the song it's okay. Not my favorite from Slash but still pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some great songs on that album 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 By The Sword, Nothing To Say and Promise are my favourites from that album. Ghost is ok but it doesn't have any of that classic GNR vibe. For the songs with GNR members, I'd say Baby Can't Drive > Ghost > Watch This Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt must have been so happy to record with Slash considering how big of a GnR fan he is. He did a great job and you can tell he put his all into it. Matt and Slash would probably be awesome in a band together lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I popped my jaw trying to sing that one lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) It's a little generic and cheesy for a GNR track, imo. At least if we're talking what they recorded together up until the Illusions. Edited July 10, 2023 by Nintari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash just doesn't get the connection between him and Izzy, as evidenced by his UYI comments in his book where he felt he needed to overdub extra guitars to fill around Izzy's parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but remember his later comments where he repeatedly insisted Izzy was the only guitar player he really meshed with (along with Dave Kushner). When it comes to Iz, Slash has his ups and downs but the negative comments were usually related to his disappointment on a personal level (Izzy leaving the band in a bad way etc.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it captured the AFD magic, I don't believe that's possible, but the tune is good imo. By The Sword is the one I would have chosen for Axl to work and sing on as I feel it had the most potential if I could only choose one tune from the album for Axl to turn into a Gn'R track.

Tom-Ass Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Slash wrote it all but hearing Izzy's dirty Rhythm alongside Slash was beautiful. Chemistry unmatched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd love to hear Axl singing it, Andrew Stockdale did such a fantastic job, I wouldn't change a second of it. The man should've been VR's second singer or have taken Myles' place in the Conspirators. I'd be a happy guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cool for one song imo and he also gave a near perfect live performance of By The Sword on Leno, you could tell that Slash was happy with the performance at the end of it. Still, I gotta wonder what Axl would have done with that song and also other strong Slash compositions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
