Popular Post username Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 6 songs in and I'm absolutely loving this! Great and refreshing to hear all the different vocalists, great guitar work tying the whole thing together. Definitely picking it up at the store tomorrow. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just put the records in an antistatic sleeve anyway, and the sleeve in a plastic slipcover. I could slip this in the slipcover on the backside for viewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I had was the LIES cassette in my truck and he signed it with a yellow highlighter lol.. It's all we had. Needless to say, the yellow was a bit tough to see over the beige cassette sleeve. Still a great story though. 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 The biggest credit I can give Slash here is that his unique style and playing is what ties the album together in a cohesive way. That's very impressive with all the singers. Imo that happens here more so than on his 2010 album. Love that. This is really fun and Slash can definitely still really go. It's also very nice to hear him without Myles being on everything. I can only take so much of his voice and it gets boring to me. This, on the other hand, sounds awesome. 3 hours ago, StrangerInThisTown said: What is the best and worst song so far?

Popular Post Free Bird Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 (edited) Fuck! That record is great to listen to. My impression after the first listen was that Slash kept it save here and there, trying not to overplay, maybe a bit predictable, but I guess I just need one or two more spins. I thought it was missing the big, great Slash solos I was expecting but holy motherfucker Stormy Monday hits so fucking hard. That song has everything you need. Beth Hart’s giving everything and what a solo! That’s the blues I was waiting for. While writing this I listen to the album again and the solos are totally fine 😂 forget what I’ve written before. I skipped the singles we already had and Papa Was A Rolling Stone isn’t available yet. When listening to that whole thing the experience will be even better! There’s some Back And Forth Again in Metal Chestnut, though. Edited May 16 by Free Bird 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22frets Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 2 hours ago, Free Bird said: Nobody else listened to it? I need some reviews? Just got done with my first listen. Probably the most interesting record that Slash has put out in many years. Though Slash didn't try to reinvent anything, his playing is a lot more tasteful he has definitely taken a different approach to his solos than his past albums. Despite being a fan of Myles, I think he was getting tiresome and all the guest singers are quite refreshing to listen to. Also, the sound mix is great and the whole band sounds tight. My only gripe is that Metal Chesnut turned out to be disappointing at the end after such a great start. Just sounded like his usual noodling. Maybe it'll grow on me after a few listens because I always tend to like the instrumental tracks in his albums. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened via VPN on Youtube, but since it was the official video it got scipped. I’m waiting for the physical record tomorrow. Then I’ll give it a listen in full and will say something to the production. Probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) Can't wait to hear Stormy Monday. Almost every single review I've read singled it out as one of the highlights, and it's 8 minutes long too, that's cool as fuck. That's probably gonna have the best solos of the album.

Just heard Papa Was A Rolling Stone now and those two might have the best guitar work in general. It’s what I expected from that album, an emotional proper blues song with great guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Spinning my copy now! The signature is indeed on one of the black record inserts. I’m on track 3. Production is killer. Loving the playing so far. Record 1 has a bit of a warble. But whatever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Album is fucking stellar. His best sounding solo album, for sure. Love the drums. I like every song on it. Lots of variety, great use of guests, great guitar playing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I got to say Metal Chestnut sucks and is the worst song on the album and adds nothing, Mike Clink fucked up suggesting that one. The album should've ended with the last 1 minute of Stormy Monday. It's absolutely a perfect way to end the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I like Metal Chestnut and like how there’s one original, but I agree that it doesn’t add much to the record as a whole. It’s a cool guitar solo with some killer tone, though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Lol came here to say I really dig Metal Chestnut Other highlights for me were Papa Was A Rolling Stone and Stormy Monday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
