#3121 Re: Guns N' Roses » Former GN'R Manager Alan Niven Counters Axl's Claims » 899 weeks ago
Exactly dude
GNR's KOHD version may be better, but that is like saying Axl is a better lyricist because he sang the song better.
NO
Same with a guitar player.
Riffs, solo's etc are no different than writing brilliant lyrics. Other people can sing those better but that doesn't make them better.
Does that make any sense?
PERFECT EXAMPLE ALERT:
I absolutely love KISS
If u ever listen to Kiss Alive III, I think Bruce Kulick's solos are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than what Ace did on the albums especially Creatures Of The Night
BUT
u would be a fool to say Bruce is a better guitarist than Ace.
Bruce just built on what Ace already CREATED
Its like people don't grasp or come close to realizing how genius and HARD it is to create music from scratch. To come up with that SCOM riff and solos, that WTTJ riff, those NR solos.
There are only a handful of guitarist who have written riffs on that level BUT YET people on here think cause someone can cover that, that makes them better.
its just nonsense.
#3122 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Died in my arms" - Slash & Todd Crew » 899 weeks ago
Yeah I hated Slash's book
There are two big time drug books I've read, Slash's and Anthony Kiedis.
Anthony's is really honest and just heartbreakingly brutal whereas Slash comes off as one of those bragger spoiled please Shut The Fuck Up u think this is cool but its really lame and pathetic types.
U know the guy that gets in front of a group of people and talks himself up like he is the greatest at everything.
I hate his book but that doesn't change my affinity for him as a musician.
#3123 Re: Guns N' Roses » Former GN'R Manager Alan Niven Counters Axl's Claims » 899 weeks ago
How can u play something better that was written by someone else?
if he hadn't written them, those guys wouldn't have anything to play
Let me tell u, Its much easier to improve on something already written, THEN to write those parts from scratch.
#3124 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » "Died in my arms" - Slash & Todd Crew » 899 weeks ago
I think this is people not wanting to blame who really was at fault and that was the guy who died.
Everyone when someone close to them dies, always wants to find someone else to lay the blame on. So what if Slash freaked out. I'd say 99 percent of the population would.
#3125 Re: Guns N' Roses » Former GN'R Manager Alan Niven Counters Axl's Claims » 899 weeks ago
If a guitar player is covering the original guitarist work, they cannot be BETTER cause they are playing music created by someone else.
So for someone to say those guys were better than Slash before CD came out is just lame and ridiculous.
Now, since CD is out, u can argue anything u want to argue. but I thought it was retarded for people to make those claims based on how guys covered his stuff.

#3130 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wich one of this songs you like to see in the Next GN'R Album ? » 899 weeks ago
Ballads are good but compare the guitar parts of TIL, Catcher, SOD and Prostitute with SCOM, NR and Estranged and even Dont Cry
U can see the difference or at least i can.
Axl has never been better though. I think he comes very close to surpassing most of his previous work.
