A little of both, a modern edge, and a classic edge .. it sound updated and it fucking rocks with guitar solo ...

Dead Flower Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Contraband where that all sounded like it could be 1988, and that's not a shot ..Common misconception. Contraband doesn't sound like it's 1988. It's actually got a very modern sound.In fact, I think a lot more GnR fans would like Velvet Revolver if they did make 80's sounding rock and Slash still played the way he did in GnR and Snakepit. Not me, though.Oh, and the sentiment you express in your last sentence. Very original. First time I've heard it on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobadog Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Reads 1st post. hmm..Reads follow up posts..Slash sure is Slash. Slash rocks and brought a lot to Gn'R, and should never be written off. Slash makes great Slash sounds with his guitars as did Hendrix with his guitars, as does Buckethead with his guitars.Better is a great track. I think i read some place that Better is Robins song.

where's izzy? Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I know Better is a good song because my mom DOESN't like it. I think it was the 'screaming' in the middle. But that's a good thing, it shows that GNR can still piss off parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
