I think sometimes the 'new' guys did a pretty amazing job on the songs. I haven't heard all the final tracks, but TWAT's BH guitar solos are perfect as they are (although Finck's parts could have been better). Other times the guitar work is just... meh. I still miss the memorable riffs as the new guitar music is mostly power chords only that sucks for such a huge guitar band like Guns N' Roses. It's not about that I'm a huge Slash fan and noone comes close to his emotional playing, cause I like a lot of other guitarists, too, and BH's one of them.

Anyway, I don't think that we should compare every new guitar note to Slash's, since there is no point for them to try to play like a Slash-impersonator. Unfortunately sometimes they do, I guess Axl asked them for that. Doesn't matter. I wish them to play their own music, and don't care how different it is from the older material. They can't recreate the same magic, they should create something new magic if they can. It's a whole different Axl Rose-fronted band, that, for some reasons, has the same name. I don't wanna restart the name issue, but if this band was called anything else than Guns N' Roses, there would be less complaint about the guitar playing, as people could look at them as a different band. As I don't miss Slash from Led Zeppelin, Skid Row or The White Stripes, I wouldn't miss him from A Band That's Not Called Guns N' Roses. Rant over, try to enjoy the music.

After posting (or giving karma, sending a pm) I often find myself logged out. I don't know why it happens.

Anyway, thanks for the site and the move, now I don't have problems to access my favourite forum!

That's a real surprise since he got writing credit for Shackler in the first place.
