Fantastic time in Argentina! Apologies to the fans in the front that weren't getting Axl's voice in the PA -
elvarto, I know it seems like everyone is "picking on the noob", but you gotta understand there wont be a positive reaction to people throwing things towards Axl and the band, under any circumstances.
No artist deserves that.
Since the band is now more active than it's been since 1993, hopefully they head back to your area again.
To be honest, some people do deserve shit thrown at them. I saw a band (can't remember the name) cover a Soundgarden song. I wanted to throw something.

This song is probably going to end up being the best on the album, unless the preview of the Cornell one didn't do it justice.
This song is wonderful. Perfect example of how good Slash can do without a vocalist.

Slash and Axl both need other people to maximize their greatness..
edit: and Izzy!
Bingo. Axl and Izzy are a wonderful writing combo. They're like Jagger/Richards or Staley/Cantrell.

Since we're on the topic of Axl vs Slash(again). Slash couldn't hold Axl's jockstrap in the songwriting department. Let's be real.
I wasn't going to say this, but since you did...
I fully agree. As far as song writing goes Slash can't compare to Axl. Slash writes riffs and solos, and even those are getting really tired lately.
I'd take Chinese Democracy over Slash's post-GNR work any day.

James Lofton wrote:I love both guys and they are my two favorite singers so its hard to slag either for their immense talent, but Axl doesn't come close in that department and Axl even admitted it in a RS interview many years ago.
The only capacity that Axl destroys Cornell is his stage presence, but in fairness very few in history can rival Axl's stage presence.
i disagree - axl is a far more diverse vocalist.
and since when does a statement of modesty equal truth when talking about one's own self?
I agree with James, and we are literally discussing my two favorite singers. So it's hard for me to choose, and I don't really want to choose either one.
But realistically, Cornell is a better songwriter and better vocalist. Stage presence though, Axl blows him out of the water. Cornell can't even come close to him there.
Cornell is a lot more diverse.

I think it stands out a lot more than the other songs we've heard so far.

People got used to 'The guys who aren't Slash' playing Guns N' Roses songs. It cannot be worse.
Yes it can be. Guitar is a lot easier to emulate than vocals. I don't want to hear Myles' voice on that song.

I don't want to hear Myles singing Civil War.
#619 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Crucify the Dead" » 867 weeks ago
^ Yeah my only issue with Big Machine is it's too repedative and lacks a killer solo. It's got a nice riff and some coolness to it though.
It's certainly not a stand out track on CB, but it's not bad either. I like the lyrical content.
Which is a lot more than I can say about this album so far.

I agree, but that's not saying much.
I was trying to be nice.....:/ I am extremely lukewarm to everything I have heard. By the Sword is the best and I was burned out on it after 5-10 listens. Lyrics...bad...the rest, meh. But, I will admit, I pretty much don't like anything Slash has done post Gnr. This really slams the door shut. It's over. I actually could live with VR more than this. The more I think about it, this is the ultimate Slash sellout.
I agree with you. By the Sword has some great guitar on it, and I love the solo, but the vocals and lyrics just kill it for me. The rest just sounds really bland and nothing really sticks out to me besides Watch This. I wanted something a little more fresh from Slash. He's put himself in this nice little niche and refuses to leave it.
Anyone else notice how each song sounds something their corresponding singers would do? Hold On sounds like any other Kid Rock track (the ones that aren't released as singles), Crucify the Dead sounds like an Ozzy solo track, Ghost sounds like The Cult, Starlight sounds like Myles solo or even some AB or Mayfeild 4 stuff...
I'd much prefer VR over this. Though I'm glad VR are done because it puts Scott back where he belongs in STP, and I'd much rather have STP than VR.
