El Guapo Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hints for what? Axl knows very well how Slash operates and that he likes to write, record and release new music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Slash is one of those guys that will go that far with thinking about it. he probably just thought it would be cool to play these Gn'R tunes with The Conspirators and didn't want to wait for the possible scenario of Axl being in the mood to even attempt what I consider to be difficult songs to perform live for a singer.

And songs he isn’t tired of playing each night for years now. it is my take, he is tired play the same songs for many years, my post don't was literally, just it serve like hint to Axl too.

DeNfr Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Duff : "hey Slash, how are U dude? took a shit the other day reading The Wall Street Journal and then I had this idea for a song, it's a GNR song, it's called Dropping Hints, and it's like, you know, a new kind of Welcome To The Jungle but it's about treasury Inflation-protected securities and stuff, it's deep man...Slash?

avahland Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'm not a fan of SMKC....because of the MK that sings. Great voice....but not for GNR songs according to me. (Sorry for all his fans, no offence) So I was wondering....why is he singing....and not that Todd Kerns guy. Don't damn me and Bad apples with him on vocals are more than just OK to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He's probably happy to sing at that range ocasionally, but not a whole damn set of it night after night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTJ80 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Both are well played (DDM solo was bad though) but what shines through is that even with a competent singer the songs don’t hit the same without Axl. This isn’t a comment on how he could do it justice in 2024…just a fact that when you replace him with any other singer it just doesn’t sound right. 🤷🏼♂️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or the UYI boxset reminded him that those songs exist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the UYI boxset that reminded him of them. My guess is he had probably not heard or thought of DDM and BA in years then heard them again when going through the stuff for the boxset and thought maybe I'll try them with SMKC if we're not doing them in GnR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Seems like he got lost in the middle of the solo, but overall he definitely kept to the structure and main bits more than I would have expected based on Don't Damn Me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I just read through 5-6 pages about Slash's playing and all I can add to that is that whenever I saw Slash (reunion GnR twice, Slash and Myles multiple times, Velvet Revolver once at a festival as well) everyone I talked to after highlighted that his playing was easily the highlight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you, Myles! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did audition (or at least asked to try out) before they got Scott: https://www.a-4-d.com/t4932-2003-01-03-chart-attack-can-todd-kerns-fill-axl-roses-leather-pants I remember when Todd auditioned for The Project. I was locked in to every single aspect of that band. Exciting times but heart breaking when Izzy ducked out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
