Although you meant it to be ironic, you hit the nail on the head. Those amazing vocal melodies are Baz's creations. No way Snake or Rachel would have been able to write them. They wrote the music and most of the lyrics, but Sebastian did the vocal melodies. Most bands (including GN'R) credit that. Skid Row didn't.

Thanks for the link!

I think it's pretty good guitar playing. Very Slashy, yet different. You feel it's "only" a collabo and they didn't explore the whole song together, but the result is still very good.

No, not at all. I love Slash's stuff and although I have problems with some of his actions, I still like him (as a person or public figure). I love Tori Amos' music, sick of her liberal bullshit but it doesn't effect my musical journey. I love Led Zeppelin, but think Robert Plant is a poser. Etc. Music comes first, music means the most, cause they're musicians, anyway.

So, no.

But since it's in the GN'R topic, the elephant is in the room. To tell the truth, I don't care about them anymore. But it can change. I say new music or fuck off. I don't give a damn about them until there is something new to listen and something worthy to listen. I barely visited the GN'R section in the past weeks and didn't post, but since at least a dvd is going to come out, I checked the promo and saw an awful lot of bullshit that made me post again, cause I felt they're insulting my (our) intelligence and fandom. I used to follow this pathetic Axl saga just for a sake of it, like a train wreck, but it became so predictable and boring, that I gave up. New music or fuck off.

Good point!

I don't know why they need to sell it like something it isn't. It's a fraud.

Prepared for shit storm.

Slash playing GN'R songs alone sounds more Guns N' Roses to me than a whole band of hired professionals...
