It's all a matter of opinion of course. But since Slash has left GNR, he hasn't done anything that is very good in my opinion. So he can play many genres all you want but if it all sucks then what's the use?
I think 5 O'clock has better guitar work than the UYIs. Not impressed by the VR albums though. It's called opinion, taste, how you like it. I do not have a problem with those who think Slash was much better in GN'R. That's their opinion, good for them. But denying Slash's versatility is another story, it's one of the HTGTH-based Axlite legends and simply untrue.
You can call Slash's post-GN'R work weak and I'll respect you, but disagree. But as soon as anyone tells that Slash is a one-dimensional player, his/her thoughts about music becomes irrelevant for me, as the person is deaf or driven by his hate.

Ha, ha. I see how it is. When the Axl hate flows, everything is all good, but when it goes against Slash, everybody is ignorant.
Weren't you one of the "not ignorant" ones trying to diagnose Axl's mental condition? That's the smart thing to do?
I'll wait for those "numerous songs in different genres."
You can live in your anti-Slash fantasy land. I agree with you: Neither Can I, Beggars, Jizz Da Pit, Lower, Serial Killer, Been There Lately, Slither, Headspace, Superhuman, Don't Drop That Dime, Obsession Confession, Always on the Run, Baby You Can Hold My Hand, Messages, Fix, Vocalise etc. are all very close to each other. Very, very close. They all prove that Slash is not versatile. 
Axl is crazy, several things imply this. Nothing proves the opposite. It's not hate, it's fact. But denying Slash's versatility is simply based on hate, ignorance and 
mania.

I wasn't talking about everyone, obviously. But some guys are in that cathegory, for sure.

You keep speaking like Axl dodged questions about the album and only wanted to talk about Slash and the record company. Do you have a transcript of the original questions Billboard sent to Axl? He answered the questions he was given. Some of which dealt with the album, some dealt with the record company, and one dealt with former members of GNR.
Guess you haven't read the questions. Some here for you again. He got the chance to talk about his album, the music and specific songs. He wasn't interested. Yet he went into a long, hateful rant about the record company, and seemed to be more interested in bashing Slash, too.
The last time Guns N' Roses had a new album out, the Internet was barely a reality. What was your response to the nine-song leak this summer?
What's your take on the media response to the album?
Observers are interpreting some of the songs on "Chinese Democracy" as being about the process of making the album. Is this valid?
Can you give an example of a song that the band nailed on an early take and didn't change that much?
How many other songs were completed and considered for "Chinese Democracy"? There are rumors that there are two full albums done.
Some artists like to test out their new songs in their car stereos or invite friends to the studio to hear playbacks. How did you listen to the album when it was a work in progress?

Guys, you are pretty ignorant when it comes to Slash. I don't bother listing again the numerous songs in different genres he played and wrote. Of course, Izzy, Duff, Axl, Steven, Gilby, Dizzy and Matt are more diverse musicians. You are right.
#2156 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 926 weeks ago
The 'Slash is a one-trick pony' mantra is just from the same source as the 'Slash is a liar' chant. Not true. Those who think Slash is a one trick pony obviously didn't bother to listen his works - that more diverse than any of his former bandmates'.

Slither is better than any of CD's uninspired and tired rockers. Guess it's time to be honest.
#2159 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose/Dexter forum chat discussion thread » 926 weeks ago
He answered cause he liked the questions. Seems like he doesn't wanna talk about his album, just contunues the blame and hatred game. Sad.
#2160 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose/Dexter forum chat discussion thread » 926 weeks ago
There was about 6 months between Libertad and Slash's book. When the album came out, he talked about it and added that he was working on a book. When his book came out, he talked about it and added that they had released an album a few months earlier. So I don't see your point.
