Rockin' song for sure... Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: loretian on April 07, 2004, 02:50:04 PM Yeah, thanks Booker.
This version is much better quality than the previous version I heard. I like the song even more now. Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Booker Floyd on April 07, 2004, 02:58:22 PM Thanks definitely go to Execute The Sounds at Velvetrevolverforum.com for posting it up...
Yeah, the song sounds great...but I still cant help but feel disappointment over how much better it would have been if they had stuck with the El Rey version. I really hope we get a pro-quality recording of the El Rey one...it seems realistic since they were about to release it as an EP. It would be great if they put it on the single as a B-Side.

It's just a good cool song but it sounds a lot like STP and it has a strong grungie element. Very bad idea for the 1st single. No way a timeless song. El Ray version is much better. Also i don't like the production. Better Waiting for Chinese Democracy. Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Naupis on April 07, 2004, 04:46:10 PM I love this song.....I just wish it was the exteneded El Rey version. I agree it may be a little more STP sounding, but this song definitely fits the mold of something the radio will play alot, and that is ultimately the most important thing out of the gate. I agree it isn't timeless, but what is important in getting a new band off the ground is to put out a radio friendly song that will get people asking and talking about the band, and this certainly does that. I have a feeling there are some more GNR sounding songs on that record, big rockers, but out of the gate they had to release a radio friendly song to draw attention to themselves.
Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Johnnyblood on April 07, 2004, 06:12:01 PM This is the song they've chosen to launch the new album? It's not a bad song, but it's far from breathtaking. Set Me Free is better than this, and I wasn't too hot about Set Me Free either. Hmm...
Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Hammy on April 07, 2004, 06:28:26 PM A) I hope it's one of those albums where the single is the worst track, God help it otherwise
B) I prefered the Slash's Snakepit single 'Mean Bone' : ok: C) It ain't bad and im not to fussed since im holding out for GN'R Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Gunner17 on April 07, 2004, 07:38:00 PM I missed the download, can I get it anywhere else?
Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on April 07, 2004, 08:14:03 PM I missed the download, can I get it anywhere else? You'll find it on Kazaa (K-Lite) for sure now. -- I'm in a quandary as to if I should post here, or at VRforum, or just double-posting...does anyone else have this problem? ??? Anyway, thanks for the site, Booker. Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Top-Hatted One on April 07, 2004, 08:23:13 PM You can listen to it at the Official site now:

Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: duga on April 08, 2004, 04:04:01 AM A) I hope it's one of those albums where the single is the worst track, God help it otherwise Like Iron Maiden's "Dance of Death", the two first singles were the two worst tracks on the album ::) Title: Re:Official "Slither" Download & Promo Cover Post by: Top-Hatted One on April 08, 2004, 10:52:25 AM Out of everything that I've heard so far about VR, this has excited me the most! It problably comes from a fan who attended the meet and greet with Slash & Duff in Europe.
posted by: Sweden's conscience 4/7/2004 7:04:18 PM I've heard the whole album and I'm actually surprised that people are so psyched about "Slither". Just didn't expect people to jump all over it. It's a good, solid song. But to tell you the truth, it's one of the weakest ones on the album! Wait until you hear the likes of "Big Machine" and "Suckertrain Blues" - great, full-on rockers. Most of the album's in the same vein, but the stand-out track is definitely "Fall To Pieces". It's a huge, dramatic hard rock ballad with a classic Slash solo (think "November Rain") that will give Velvet Revolver a crossover appeal and make girls cry and get guys horny. |
