I fully agree.  People complain about there being no "Slash" solos, well i think the solo on Sorry takes that to a whole new level. 

I kinda got that same impression.  The solo really felt like an extension of the lyrics.  And i love the way you put it. 

And i have never taken a Psych class in my life, this came straight from Philosophy.  Go Critical Thinking!

As for War's post, i have yet to hear him play anything of Bh's and do it justice. 

I'll admit, he is good at rehashing Slash's parts, without any creativity or originality whatsoever.  Kudos to him for that. 

I would like them as well.  Thanks.

Am i really reading this thread right? 

Why is there so much Fortus love still? 

We discussed this today actually.  It's called confirmation bias.  People naturally only look for sources that confirm what they want to be true and reject the sources that reject what they want to be true.

In this case though, the opposing source is the liner notes, and those are a little harder to dispute.

That complaint really doesn't hold water now does it? 

I think it's funny that in this post he says that they "try so hard to prove they can fill Slash's shoes", but then goes on to complain about how they DON'T do what Slash would have done in a slower solo- that is play a nice melodic part, instead they add something Slash wouldn't have done- a shredding part.

So how does that argument hold up? 

It doesn't.

You can't say someone is trying to be another person, and then list the ways in which they are different, and then turn around again and say they are trying too hard to be what Slash was for GNR. 

I love these kind of arguments.  There would have been some good points made, but this whole fallacy ruins it. 

And as for no melodic playing, i think you need to go and listen to Buckethead's parts again.
