#1071 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash - "Made In Stoke" DVD & Blu-ray » 781 weeks ago
I'm with monkey and metallex on this one. Noone sings GN'R better than Axl, and noone plays it better than Slash, cause these are their OWN songs, these are coming from their veins. However it's surprising that some people who are very vocal how much they prefer any clown over Slash, go apeshit when someone dares to say the obvious that Myles is technically a better singer than Axl. Fact. Just like it's a fact that Bucket and Bumble is techically a better guitarist than Slash. Does it make them better on GN'R songs? Hell no. But they can play them extremely good, just like Myles sings those better than anyone, but Axl.
(Yes, I know the deaf flaming will start that guitarists are replacable, but singers, at least Axl Rose, is not. Well, a DJ Ashba is replacable in a minute. Slash - never.)

It's only a theory, but since Axl got his players in the late 90s to learn the AFD songs to 'catch the GN'R groove' (how it turned out is another story...), and now that Slash is on releasing a new album...
I can't help thinking about that these guys have been playing the better half of AFD non-stop for one and a half year, so it might have influenced the stuff they came up with. It's only daydreaming, but when you play a certain type of music, your new ideas will be influenced by that. So yeah, I expect a heavy classic rock album by Slash & Co, which should be a band effort. I hope he won't overgrow on the others, cause this band seems to be tight - tighter than any post-GN'R incarnation since Snakepit I.

This RQ was wicked. Probably the best version in twenty years.
Slash is really on fire!

This disc is a must for every GN'R fan. I'm ordering it in this minute.

I would go to see them, too, if I had the chance. I'm just sick of their 'rock and roll' bullshit, when they are playing safe, predictable and very not rock and roll.

No, I meant with Don't Cry and Patience included.
Only Don't Cry is doubtful. They play Patience almost every night. For 20 years.
BTW Tuesday I'll be seeing Tori Amos. She's one of the 2 artists I'd travel abroad (the other is, surprise, Slash).
She's played 16 shows so far this tour, and she has a new back-up band. (The good old rhythm duo of Matt Chamberlain and Jon Evans was left home, with the always changing guitarist). A String Quartet is supporting her now, which meant they had to rearrange most of the songs.
Therefore her set is more stable now than it used to be. It means that she's played 100 (a hundred) songs during the 16 shows. More than half of it only once, so every audience got special numbers. She has yet to play Cornflake Girl and Professional Widow, her biggest hits.
I'm not saying that GN'R should do the Tori Amos route, releasing quality albums in every 2 years, with a dvd or B-sides collection between those, and touring the world in every 2 years with re-arranged songs and sets that differs every night. But if you're not on board with variation and unpredictability, then shut up. That is what disturbs me the most with this band: they are more predictable than AC/DC, yet they're talking about being rock and roll, when the only thing you don't know is whether they'll show up or not, and how late. It's lame. Be rock and roll or shut up.

Wow, CD was really impressive! Ron's rhythm playing is amazing and he can play BH's solo note by note. This performance had great energy and Axl was great, too, he's got a lot better in some weeks.
KOHD was below mediocre though. It's too cheesy, I was looking for Tracy and Roberta... DJ can't handle the world's easiest chords to solo on it. Such a shame. When it wasn't bad, it was boring. Forget it, make it better, or shorten to 4 minutes, but it's more that a man can bear.

Well, everything he does points to that. Since he's into new age shit, he could also easily deny that this world exist.
Only a fool would diagnose people from watching YouTube, Doctor.
Only a fool would think that being a fan for 20+ years and following the guy's actions all through the decades isn't enough to make a valid opinion. I hate this 'you have never met him, so you don't know shit about him' stupid lie. Historians make portraits of long dead people from a different age with less knowledge than I have about Axl. So either find something to back your opinion or shut up.
