Hey, could you hook me up with a scan of those recording notes? I'd love to see those in detail. Also, do you have something you can actually play this on? I mean, would be grand to have the (real) multitracks for a GNR song smile.

#532 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash at the charts » 839 weeks ago

Cool, look at the chart for Greece. Slash at nr 9, GNR's Greatest Hits at nr 10. Perhaps this will boost ChiDem as well?

Slash rockin' with 3 guitarists...how ironic.

You know what, I spent ages spying that clip for the third guitarist before finally noticing Stockdale was holding one as well... That guy has no stage presence whatsoever, continuously looked as if he was afraid someone would come from backstage to haul his ass off stage. Shame, 'cause I dig his vocals on this song.

Been anti-tube snobbery all my life (have played a great sounding original valvestate 8240 for 15 years, and a Flextone III for the last 2), but a couple of days ago, I found this little clip on the web and I instantly jizzed my pants:

It's the sound I've been looking for, for all these years. One shop in Belgium had the combo in stock (but I wanted the head), so I went over there, tested it for two hours and just ordered the bloody thing (the head) straight away. Tested a Bogner, ENGL, Hughes & Kettner, Mesa Boogie Stiletto, the new Marshall MA head (crap!) and the good old JCM2000 DSL. Nothing came even close to being in the same league (The ENGL Fireball was nice as well, but basically single channel and almost twice as expensive.
Man, 6 12AX7 pre-amp tubes, 2 EL34's, 2 6L6's and a Tube mix knob. Insanely versatile amp this, plenty loud at 65 watts and great looking to boot. Win! wink

So I'm drooling over this picture until I get the call to go and pick it up...

Wow, that's bad mp3 compression there... strange too, bitrate is high enough but it's sooo sizzly in the high end tones. I've erased after three songs or so, the youtube clips are of comparable quality and can tide me over until I can actually buy the disc.

#536 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Multitrack!se, and im n » 840 weeks ago

These aren't multitracks, they're rockband files. A shame really, sorta cut n' paste this way. Still cool to hear though, damn Axl's vocal lines are processed.

I always thought the end of coma was a great example of his lyrical abilities. SCOM & patience not so much... too direct, too obvious, too sappy. One in a Million, never understood the link between the verses and the chorus...

I don't think it's for PR: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim from Warner Music Group"

Where are all these "Slash monsters" after 1991 other than in the imagination of Slash fans?

Bah, the same thing could be said about Izzy. I actually believe Slash has put out a couple of monsters after 91 (Neither Can I, Beggars, Slither, FTP, Serial Killer, ..., not counting anything from the new album yet), but that's obviously just my humble opinion. In the same vein, I find Izzy's solo work a total snooze-fest. His slower songs are boring and his rock songs lack oomph.

For me, Izzy's solo work is about as interesting as Cornell's solo work: not at all (although I consider both very talented). So the fact that you dismiss what I think are great accomplishments as "my imagination", man... not something I would've said...

Longer clips of Dr. Alibi and Baby Can't Drive have been posted, still not the full songs but definitely enough to get an idea for them (no solo's though)

I really don't like Dr. Alibi. It's ok as a background tune, it's almost like some form of rock elevator music... so uninspired I'm actaully wondering if that's all he could come up with for Lemmy. "Dunnah dunnah dunnah duh", all song long over a G-C-F-G chord progression and no riff to carry it whatsoever.

As for Baby can't drive, that one has a very cool groove. I actually like Alice's vocals on this one for a change. Nicole's not too bad either, but her voice is processed as hell so it's probably been a classic ProTools job on that one. The main riff in the left channel is earily similar to Anything Goes tough, very similar. Slash doesn't have writing credit on Anything Goes, so either Izzy was involved in this one, Slash did write the original riff that carries the song or Slash got inspired by Izzy's playing. I'm inclined to go for option nr 2, it sounds distinctively Slash enough. Either way, I like this one, cool tune. Nothing original, but solid nonetheless. One thing I found funny that this is the one tune on which Steven is drumming and it starts out with a fuckin' cowbell! Priceless wink
