#1701 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » The drumming on "Slash" » 867 weeks ago
I have only heard 4 full songs (By The Sword, Ghost, Beautiful Dangerous, Starlight), all of them only once, except the first single. I have to agree that the drumming and the bass playing just lacks the feel. It's only uninspired 'professional' session playing. My computer set isn't good, the bass can be hardly heard, but I expected more. Slash shines, the songs are great, but the drumming is as shitty as on Chinese Democracy. Maybe Slash shouldn't have chosen the same player. I also don't understand why he didn't set up a band to record AND tour.

I agree with the anti-Slash community. It's all boring retro music, nothing new like Public Enemy drum beats from the 80s, or ten different synths lines. Not to mention that this is dated guitar music (with only one(!) lead player - where does this guy live???), not something magnificent Pro Tools cut and paste. Slash can't even record an album where you can hear that the parts are from different decades. I knew it was coming, but it's worse than I expected. It shows everything why I hate Guns N' Roses.

Fabulous Slash solo, classic Snakepit II orchestration.
I'm not satisfied with Myles here though, he sings too high for my likings. A good song, but something I'd likely skip in a few months.

Classic GN'R sounding song, I really love it. It could have been on any GN'R album. (Except one.
)
Thanks, FD!

12 minute preview of the album.

Okay, this shit will rock....
It sounds very good. I think Slash's holding back some supposed big guns, like the Promise, Starlight and Saint Is a Sinner. We haven't got too much of those songs, but he talked nice things about the Cornell snf Kennedy tune, and the DeLuca number is my favourite right now. Alright, I've heard only 30 seconds, but that was very promising.
#1706 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Paradise City Pulled from Slash's Solo Album » 868 weeks ago
The publishing rights for Paradise City are divided between three parties:
- Slash
- Duff
- Universal Music GroupIn order for Axl to block the release, he'd need to go through Uni to file a complaint.
Universal, not Sanctuary? I know that Uni bought Sanctuary, but that company still exists, doesn't it? Does it work independent, or is it strongly controled by Uni?
#1707 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Paradise City Pulled from Slash's Solo Album » 868 weeks ago
I won't miss this unnecessary and embarassing cover, however if Axl killed the release, I have to point out that he shouldn't be so touchy, after hiring guitarists who raped and butchered the classics and even shat to their corpses numerous times. He should have protected the Guns N' Roses legacy from his own employees.
Not talking about the current line-up though.
#1708 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash: New Album Release And Tour Set For March/April » 868 weeks ago
I think it's ridiculous to say that Slash 'hides behind the singers' and to insinuate that the only respectable solo album by a guitarist is an instrumental record. No. For Slash the singer's voice is an important music instrument. I'm sure if he wrote an all instrumental record the chorus would be 'well, Slash can't work with singers, history proved that, the instrumental record is his confession'. Now we have the joke that 'Slash is playing safe cause he has singers'. WTF? I'm waiting for Axl to do an a capella record. That'd be great.
#1709 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash: New Album Release And Tour Set For March/April » 868 weeks ago
All instrumental guitar albums are boring for me. However I enjoy every minute of some guitar driven albums, like AFD, but I wouldn't like these as much as I do without vocals.
BTW Slash did work together with some of the artists on the songs (Stockdale, Shadows etc.): he wrote it, then they changed it together to fit better; while in other cases it seems he accepted what the singer brought to the table (Iggy, Kid Rock).
#1710 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash: New Album Release And Tour Set For March/April » 868 weeks ago
Slash is a team-player. I have yet to hear an instrumental guitar album that is not boring, and I play guitar.
It's funny that Slash has 13 singers on his album, yet none of them is good enough for some. Guess they can only accept Axl, although they wouldn't want a reunion, cause 'Axl doesn't need Slash'. Maybe. But as it seems for sure Slash doesn't need Axl, just somebody better than Scott Weiland to write catchy and great songs. On his album he has a lot of better singers. I would love to hear a full Slash/Stockdale, Slash/Kennedy or Slash/DeLuca album.
This album will be great.
Long live
