After 3 listens... well, the song sounds much, much better. I think it's closer to Snakepit 2 than anything VR has ever done, yet it's catchy and radio friendly. It's a good tune - not the next Welcome to the Jungle, but decent.

Thanks, Gibbo! 
I'm not that impressed with the song. The intro sucks, sounds like a demo, the rest is alright, Myles is good. A song for the radio, I guess, I didn't expect the new Coma. I wish either the radios would play the shit out of this song, or Slash would go back to the old-school, non-commercial blues rock records.

Amazing. I wish he'd play the 12-string more often.

Wonder if they've told Axl yet.
Maybe one day he'll be surfing on the Internet and suddenly...:o:nervous::flame::butt:

You know, if Rio was good enough for you, then there's really no point of an argument. He sounded like his parody karaoke version. That was the low point of his entire career. I really appreciate him for crawling back from there and doing this tour. He showed character with continuing after that disaster.

March, and it won't even air until May.
March? That's close. I see no chance for a performance in that case, unless they have already begun talks.

He started losing his voice in 1991. 1992 his voice was different. Laziness wasn't the reason he "lost" his voice. Robert Plant damaged his voice because of touring, just like Axl. Not because of being lazy. Especially seeing the strain their vocal styles caused. Plus, he's gotten older.
You may not know this, but years of cocaine, booze, chain smoking, and years of screeching vocals has a very negative effect. You can get your voice back from inactivity, it's much harder from years of abuse. On top of that, those things helped shape his voice, but it can only last so long. You could make a legit argument that had he not taken off the time he did his voice would be gone. Listen to his voice on Sympathy For The Devil and tell me you can't hear a change.
This is my favorite period of Axl's voice. Perfect. But you can hear the abuse. And it was never quite like that again from the UYI tours. Nothing would have saved it. He wouldn't sound like that today, no matter what.
Agree on Sympathy, that's one of Axl's perfect works, among with Ain't It Fun, Black Leather, Civil War, Coma and the B-side of Lies.
I still disagree on dating his voice damage back to the early 90s. The devil inside me says that some people have a habit to date everything bad to the UYI era, just because the Ayatollah said so. Anyway... he had problems way back in the 80s, when he had to be silent for weeks. You might remember that they had to cancel shows (maybe on the Aerosmith tour?), and there was that special performance of It's So Easy with Duff on vocals.
Axl still had a very powerful and fine voice when they finished the Illusion tours. After 2 years of live performances, he was way better than in the first months, in 1991. Practice use a lot. Then, he didn't sing for YEARS. That's when he lost the power in his voice, and although learnt new technics, he came back as the Mickey Mouse of rock and roll. Practice, practice and practice, and singers can save their voice. It's still not too late, but if he doesn't do more for himself, his own art and instrument, than in a few years the only option will be lip-synchin'.

Bono wrote:Argueing over a 20 second clip is fucking stupid.
I'll say this. Yes it sounds modern rockish and it still sounds fairly aggressive to me. I can totally picture a killer guitar solo coming out of that chorus at some point. The vocals sound good enough to me(didn't pay much attention to the lyrics). In my opinion the clip does nothing to lessen my anticipation for this album. I'm not sure how some can write it off as "garbage modern rock", that's their choice though. Also I'm not sure how anyone could claim it to be amazing either. It's 20 fucking seconds.
One thing D "might" be right about though... if it was 20 seconds of a new GN'R song, we'd need a Wal-Mart bath section full of towels to clean up all the cum all over the place.
Yeah, for some people the intro "The General" sounds "very promsinig". What the hell? It's Chris Pitman masturbatin' on some random notes. Ridiculous.
BTW I'm all for those who did write off the whole new Slash album based on 20 seconds. They should call Rolling Stone and surely get a job as a music critic. Imagine... they could judge 180 albums in an hour! Imressive.
I don't hear any Whitesnake there though. It's Slash playing some AFDish/ACDC style rhythm guitar and Myles Kennedy singing like himself, in a bit more classic rockish way than he does in Alter Bridge. The sound is a bit too pure for me, but it was the same with his previous album, so I'm not surprised.

Catchy. I like Slash's riffs. I need to hear more from this song to like it wholeheartedly.
