Tom2112 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, Tom-Ass said: I don't think they necessarily needed a star frontman.. Tash is good enough. It seems like his vocals are always low in the mix for some reason though. It is just bizarre having all these fantastic vocals on the album and then wheeling Teddy out there to butcher the songs. Ironically his vocals are the ones too high in the mix. Agreed doesn't need a star frontman but a frontman/woman that could take most of the vocal duties and work the stage is hard to argue with. He probably just wanted to keep the band small and figured the guys were good enough to get the job done, while obviously not on the level of a dedicated singer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Teddy's fine on some songs, especially the non-album tracks like Parchman Farm or Shake Your Money Maker. But yea it's a weird choice to do an 'all-star guest singers' album then have Teddy sing some of the best songs. I wouldn't have been disappointed at all if they'd swapped out Born Under A Bad Sign for Living For The City... at the very least the should split the vocals 2/3 for Tash, 1/3 for Teddy. He's clearly the weakest singer out of all the bands at the show, but again, when you're actually there he doesn't ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfacelessturtle Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 If they end up cancelling my show, is it possible to get a refund if you bought your ticket from a reseller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I'm not really surprised that this tour is selling poorly in some markets. Slash tours almost every year with GNR or SMKC, and this is a niche project that's only playing cover songs. That said, SMKC usually plays venues in the Vancouver and Seattle areas that are around 2800 capacity. I saw them in a 5000-capacity venue and it was at least 97% sold out a few hours before they hit the stage. How many tickets were discounted doesn't really matter, if this becomes an annual tour it could be much bigger than it is right now. I'd love to see them play the annual Blues & Roots fest near Vancouver someday, in a park twice the size of the Redmond venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeekevo Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Just awful news for the family. I would think a cancellation would have happened by now for the next show, but I base that on nothing. If it’s any indication, a couple hours ago i received an email from Ticketmaster with the sound check time and details (I figured at minimum he would probably cancel that). I just hope if the show goes on it’s because Slash wants it to (perhaps playing the blues is exactly what he wants to do??) - it would be awkward to enjoy if that was not the case I would think.

I can totally see him wanting to play to stay sane. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Personally speaking, I think it’s crazy to be out touring just over a week after your step daughter killed herself. Especially considering it’s kind of a niche 3rd project. Staying super productive seems to be what Slash needs to get through life without demons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I think we would have heard of further cancellations by now. My heart definitely goes out for him and Meegan. I wasn't all that interested in this tour but I might end up going to the Tuesday show. It's cheap and close to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at peace my show was canceled I saw someone left a comment that said see you Tuesday night. I see being excited for a show, but who types that on a post for someone who just lost someone. You have to be a real pos. I almost typed some crazy shit but held it together. I mean, I’m still gonna go to my show if everything isn’t canceled, but it’s in mid August. If the whole tour is cancelled I would not even be mad. People have real life going on outside of their “work”. “Fans” are really idiots sometimes, especially when it comes to this band. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Zoso said, I would feel weird about going to the next show, but I can see Slash going back on the road just to keep his mind occupied... maybe a 2-hour escape where everyone is stoked to hear him play music is what he needs at the moment. Whether Meegan goes with him is a whole other thing, but people handle stuff differently, so if this is what they need to do then I hope the shows go well. I also hope Slash wasn't pressured back onto the road though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it pissed me off that it was on a post that was supposed to be for Lucy.

Popular Post apeekevo Posted July 28 Popular Post Share Posted July 28 16 hours ago, Gordon Comstock said: I also hope Slash wasn't pressured back onto the road though. Yes, having travelled the country for this show because of the experience I had in Redmond, I actually ended up skipping the soundcheck - I woke up a bit late and would have needed to rush, but for me, it just didnt feel right so i decided to skip it - I hope those that went had a blast! As for the show, I really do hope that playing the blues for a smaller crowd is exactly what he wants right now - and that he is not pressured. The way I am going to look at it tonight is Slash’s music has been there for me through decades of life’s ups and downs, if I can be there for him to hear what he has to say with his guitar as he plays the blues to start moving forward - I will be honored! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really use instagram much, and never bother with the comments, but yea that's an odd thing to say on a post like that. I'd like to assume it was just an air-headed moment that was meant in a supportive way, but I didn't see the comment. 5 minutes ago, apeekevo said: As for the show, I really do hope that playing the blues for a smaller crowd is exactly what he wants right now - and that he is not pressured.

Teddy has been abysmal on Born Under a Bad Sign but he sounded better here kind of blended a little deeper into the mix. Hoping it is like a Myles/Axl situation where he sounds better in person with everything else going on. Anyone know the order of the openers?
