#1691 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Ghost" is streaming NOW » 867 weeks ago
Well, the truth is I bought the first Snakepit record....really tried to like it but it just didn't work for me....didn't buy the second one. I bought Contraband and really tried to like it but it just didn't work for me...didn't buy the second one. I have listened to these batch of songs and don't hear much that really interests me so I won't be buying it.
So, simply put, Slash and I don't jive anymore outside of classic Gnr. I just don't find him interesting, and I don't think I would find him and Axl interesting together either if these are the kind of songs he constructs.
That is my parting shot and I will respect you Slashaholics and stay out of these threads.:peace:
Fair enough, but no need to stay away, I always hated the forum ghettos, where you are only allowed to support someone or something. Just please, no more 'sell-outing'. 
#1692 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Ghost" is streaming NOW » 867 weeks ago
The whole concept of the record is a sell out. Every song fits in to a different segment of the radio market. It is blatantly obvious that this was done on purpose. He is specifically trying to pull a Santana and have a massive hit record. Nothing wrong with that but it is "selling out". Almost every track we have heard could be a single and it just "feels" to me like that is his sole purpose...to write a bunch of radio friendly songs.
Last time I heard that 'Slash can't write a hit'. He was stuck in the 70s. His 'Snakeshit' records didn't sell and was 'generic rock'. Now he did write 14 song that can be a hit in the 2010s? The guy can only do wrong. 
I get what you mean though. Yes, he wants this album to be successful - every artist does, who says otherwise is lying. Yes, Slash wrote more ballads and mid-tempo songs now than ever. But I rather listen a not too deep record I can enjoy for the good music, than going through a muddy mess like the first half of Contraband. (On the other hand he got the 'sell-out' badge then for reuniting with Duff and Matt and getting a well-known singer.)
Now that he plays in 14 different styles - now the choir damns him for this. Last time he 'played safe' in his 'comfort zone'. Now that he plays in at least 10 different zones, he's also a sell-out and a 'safe player', cause he has singers. W.T.F. Without singers the choir would say 'well, he broke up with Axl, broke up with Scott, he can't work with a singer anymore'. Ridiculous. Some people are very 'disappointed'. Lie. Most of them knew long before the album came out that they wouldn't like it. They simply don't like Slash or are afraid of his success. They'd need to grow up (I'm not talking about you.) Not to mention that now it turns out that all the 12 singers suck. Or don't suck usually, but, with Slash, they suck. Or they are doing the same like they're doing on their albums. Something's always wrong with Slash and his songs.
Enough of the politics and try to enjoy the music for what it is. I don't say everyone should like Slash's album. I don't say every GN'R fan should like Slash's album. I don't say that 'stay away of this topic, if you don't like it or don't care'. No. But damn, some of you are eager to find something to trash this album. This is pathetic.

ahhh....nice. Still looks pretty punk to me and the band he joined hasn't even released a video much less one with dolphins in it....can't say that about your boy the radio friendly unit shifter.
I am in a really bitchy mood today so you better put your hat on!
Good for you. But if you continue to call anyone a sell-out, just because he dares to work with the talented singer that Adam Levine is, then I'll remind you again who is a real sell-out. The fuckin' song hasn't even got released as a single or anything yet, but making a song together is a sin.
Gotten is amazing, as far as I can tell after hearing 30 seconds of it.
Ghost is pretty good. A real Guns N' Roses tune, no wonder that Scott hated it. He even killed Messages. I don't understand how YGNR or Slither got released.
#1695 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Crucify the Dead" » 867 weeks ago
Hmmm... a bit undecided, but it sounds like a typical modern Ozzy track, with Slash on guitars. But hey, at least there isn't overused harmonic pinch squeals like Zakk seems to do in every Ozzy track.
Probably the worst Slash solo of all the tracks I've heard so far.I find the lyrics interesting though, some digs at Axl perhaps - "we used to be brothers"?
"It was just a trip to hear Ozzy working out the parts for a piece of music that I wrote. Somebody I'™d been listening to since I was a kid, all of a sudden right there. He put together a very poignant set of lyrics about a particular subject matter that a lot of us can relate to..."

But I remember reading somewhere it is about Axl, although Slash didn't name him...

Thanks god, we have madagas here to tell what's cool and what isn't and who is a sell-out and who is not.
What about a guy who were once in a 'legendary' punk band, but later joined the anti-thesis band with dolphins in the video? Let me guess, that was an artistic move.
#1697 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Ghost" is streaming NOW » 867 weeks ago
Maroon 5 has good songs. Guess my opinion makes me a sell-out, too.

Slash Conan O Brien just walked into rehearsal. Ironically we were playing "Civil War." He's ready to stir shit up.
Is he testing the waters? I don't see any reason to play CW by his band, unless they wanna play it on the tour.
#1700 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Crucify the Dead" » 867 weeks ago
Yup the worst yet
I agree. I don't understand why Slash wanted it to be the first single. A below mediocre song.
