Title: Dave Kushner's presence in Contraband Post by: Ignatius on June 26, 2004, 07:18:24 PM Let's see what you all think about this... Does his presence live up to the expectations the other guys created about his role in this band? Before the release of Contraband, I read many comments made by Duff and Slash regarding Dave's involvement with the band/record. If I remember correctly, Duff and Slash explained Dave's role as an approach to a more modern sound. I even remember a thread about it not too long ago in which we were debating what " modern" could possibly have meant. To me, I personally expected something different. Contraband is a straight rock and roll album ( nothing wrong with that) but I though the guys would have experienced with Protools, loops and shit like that. I never expected a radical change a la Radiohead with Kid A but I did expected a bit more of Dave's hypothetical role. Anyone agree?

and download the Set Me Free video from Weenie Roast and check out the dualing guitar solos between Slash and Dave. It's something else man! You'll have a fond appreciation of Dave for sure!

He is (without cunting Izzy) the perfect guitar balance for Slash.
