the guitars aren't weak, it just ain't your style.....same with Buzz, Mikka, etc...it is just your opinion.
So...saying they're weak is just someone's opinion, but saying they aren't isn't? Interesting.
Even with 3 (or more) guitar players, GnR isn't a guitar driven band anymore. I guess that's an opinion, but one listen to the album supports it. So from that perspective, it isn't really an opinion that the guitars are weak. They are - however it was done that way on purpose.
Finck killed this band guitar wise. I know some people don't want to hear that, but his play is what creates Korn comparisons, not BHs. Whatever he supposedly added through songwriting is completely ruined by his playing.
Re: My Multitrack Remixes (Scraped and Shackler's Revenge)
Well, it is all opinion...obviously. I find some things weak, some things strong....just like with every other Gnr album. Now, if push comes to shove, I would take Slash and Izzy because in the end they have more songs that sound "perfect" to my ears. However, Chinese is very good in spots and those spots carry a lot of weight to me....not as much as my favs from the day but Catcher, Prostitute, and TWAT are damn damn close.
Re: My Multitrack Remixes (Scraped and Shackler's Revenge)
I will agree that Robin killed GN'R as a guitar-driven band. The feel just isn't right with his stuff. Maybe the sole exception of Better.
But Bucket certaintly ain't weak, and is the best guitarist ever in Guns. I'd take his TWAT solo and put it up against ANYTHING from Slash in the back catalog, including SCOM & NR.
Re: My Multitrack Remixes (Scraped and Shackler's Revenge)
to add to my post, Its just, nothing is very memorable or singable or what have u. Just sounds like a run of the mill Nu Metal album imo.
none of the guitar stuff is iconic sounding stuff as previous GNR.
now i do love CD, and i don't bash it, but in all honesty, the guitar playing *riff wise* is weak
The solos kick ass but as far as straight up guitar riffage.. this album lacks big time.
