D-GenerationX Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I'm sorry people, I just can't see Slash having any interest whatsoever in tunes like 'Better', 'There Was A Time' or 'The Blues'.And since these are confirmed by Axl himself as being amongst his favorites, I can't see this "OMG Slash is coming back!!" talk as all that probable.

Appetite For Waiting Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Slash has spent the last few years playing shit like Slither and Doing it for the Kids! He'd give his last Bud to play on songs as good as Better, The Blues and TWAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axls_Disillusion Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 stop making threads about this. We have plenty on the subject already, and this is only fueling more reunion rumors which is bullshit. fuck a reunion, fuck slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Can't say he'd have interest in them or not, but he would definitely be able to improve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCGNR Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I think , like everyone else, he under-estimated what Axl was trying to do. How can you tell me, that he would'nt want to play on IRS, Better or TWAT? These are very guitar heavy tracks. Even on some of the keyboard, piano driven songs, there is ALWAYS a chance for the Lead Guitar to shine. Even though he used to bitch like a woman about having to do November Rain in concert, I can remember a very annoying ballad by Velvet Revolver all over the radio, where Slash seemed more than happy to contribute his brilliant guitar.

artfromtex Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 i really hear alot of slash potensial in twat.i agree with that 100%. Slash would really make that song awesome. the solo that's on the demo has such rough trasitions. one idea doesn't just naturally fall into the next. that's something Slash is so good at. one minute he's all melodic and then you're going, "when did this get bluesy". i love that about Slash. the solos on the demo of TWAT are like "part A, part B, part C, etc.." way too mechanical. the individual parts are good, but like i said, the transitions could have been smoother.

When the tour happens, and Slash is not there, and they pull it off without Slash, that will be good enough for me Frankly, either way I personally don't care. I am going to Rio Slash or no Slash. But the fact that you have done nothing but try to discredit Slash makes me want him back even more. JUST as a slap in teh face to you, because YOU SWEAR that you would support AXL no matter who is in the band, when clearly that's a bold-faced lie.

undercovergunner Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I wouldnt be fucking suprised if the solos we hear now are actually slash and we wouldn't know any better until axl says "I got ya bitches" slash is back.Except the middle of better that is someone elseOk maybe all of better is someone else Edited March 31, 2006 by undercovergunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I doubt he'd be interested in playing these songs.And as far as I'm concerned, some of the songs I've heard from this new band are much better than anything Slash has made since leaving GN'R. It's even better than most of the old GN'R songs.And besides, Slash couldn't even play in some of them (IRS, Better), nor improve them (Madagascar, The Blues, T.W.A.T., CITR). They're great.Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 i could see Slash playing these songs. hell, i wouldn't be surprised if he's jammed along to the leaks (you just know he's probably got the songs too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHaze Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) Slash would greatly improve TWAT, CITR and The Blues. It may not be his thing but he is very telented at composing solos for that type of epic ballad that Axl seems to like so much. If The Blues had a solo as good as NR it would be an OUTSTANDING song, as it is, it's just a good one. TWAT is crying out for a Slash solo sooo badly too.As far as IRS and Better are concerned I don't think Slash could improve them that much if at all solo wise... maybe the last solo in Better but I dunno. One thing is for sure though, the weakest parts of both those songs is that they have pretty generic riffs except for maybe the heavy middle bit in Better. Slash's riff making abilities are second to none and he'd make them so much better in that respect.Having said that, none of this is to take away from Bucket. The guy is a genius and he owns Better and his IRS solo is great.. somehow though, I get the feeling he never really pushed himself on CD from what we've heard. Axl did say he just wanted in to GnR to further his own solo career and then fuck off, which of course he did.I guess I'm kinda impartial in that I like both old GnR and new GnR a great deal and am a massive fan of Slash AND Buckethead. On that subject, anyone who calls Slash or Buckethead crap is an idiot. They both bring distinctly unique and extremely talented guitar playing to the table and are both positive influences on every GnR track they've featured on.Long story short... TWAT + CITR + The Blues + Slash = Potentially fucking fantastic Edited March 31, 2006 by PurpleHaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose Your Illusion Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 simple thing is slash cant play as fast as buckethead, so he would at least have to change it to suit him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaoAxl Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I think Slash would definitely have an interest in playing on the new material.... NOT the EXACT way Buckethead or Robin Finck have on the demos... but with his own signature style.You have to remember... when Slash left, he, and most people, thought Axl wanted the next Guns' album to be some combination of Pretty Hate Machine (NIN) and Play (Moby) or something.... Yet hardly anything Axl's come up with fits in that mold except possibly "Oh My God" and "Silk Worms"- both of which supposedly won't even be on the album. Additionally, I can imagine Slash all over "Madagascar", "The Blues", "CITR" and "TWAT".All that being said... that doesn't mean Axl is going to bring him back... there could be a multitude of reasons that have nothing to do with music why Slash won't be back... I mean am I the only one out there that would be scared shitless that if they got back together it would be amazing for a few shows... then the old Axl and the old Slash would come out... they'd have the same fights... argue over who the fans loved more... who broke up the band... separate dressing rooms... yada yada yada...All the guys in the current line-up meanwhile (especially now that Bucket is gone) seem pretty stable, low key guys basically there to try and help Axl pull this thing off. Even Michael Angelo Batio (if added) would seem to fit that mold... Probably a "healthier" situation for Axl frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smakci Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 i think if Slash comes back they will go back to the studion and rerecord some of that shit so he can put he touch in the songs and that means at least one more year before album comes out. i do not see Slash coming back and just play some shitother guys put together...cuz it is shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-GenerationX Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 To be honest, I have been surprised how guitar solo heavy some of the new stuff is.'There Was A Time' is my favorite of the leaked tracks. But that is more a guitar song than anything else I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
