Here Today... Gone To Hell!

That guitar riff slash plays on gravedancer is so fucking similar to fall to pieces.....Every time I here it I think that this is the continuation of FTP......To me its almost like what Metallica did with the unforgiven part two. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just crazy?

Yeah it sounds a lot alike. Especially with weiland singing that repetitive "every time im falling down" line.

Yes. Everytime Im fallin down just turned into "Shes dancin on my grave..."

Yeah, and it has some weird electronic beep stuff at the start like Loving The Aliens too...

I think it sounds a tad bit like it , but mind you FTP also reminded me of SCOM. I read from Slash's own words actually , its just something he finds himself doing alot , its just a D chord picked out , which is the basis of both FTP and SCOM....  :beer:

i agree it def sounds like an alt versionof ftp

Yep I said it earlier today.

Carbon Copy

The only thing that sounds similar is the opening riff. The rest of the song sounds more like "Loving the Aliens" to me.

It has to be deliberate; I noticed the variations of Sweet Child frequently on CB.

Carbon Copy is a bit over done , In fact you know what has REALLY been bugging me. Is that in the Can't Get It Out Of My Head cover slash plays the same lick as in November Rain , beside that the album doesn't sound like any previous work. Slash just tends to use that alot as a base for riffing.

Cant get it out my head - 1:40

November Rain - 3:39

By Carbon Copy I was referring to the Intro.

Naah man.. i said it a loooong time ago when the album first leaked when i reviewed.. but no one said anything about it


mommy, people don't listen to me :crying:

^ ehh.. what... Did u say something?? helllooo..  ::)  :hihi:

Am I the only person here who thinks this is the best song on the new album? I think it's a really beautiful song, nice lyrics, Scotts voice is perfect and it contains some of the nicest guitar work from Slash since his Guns days. I would even go as far as saying this could be my favourite song by VR PERIOD but I guess time will tell, right now i'm in love with this song though  : ok:

As for sounding like FTP, the intro's are similar but that's where the similarities stop for me and after that it definately becomes it's own song. The productuon on this record is so much better than Contraband, check out that synth in the second verse.

So does every guitarist. There are many common classic licks that all players use and use again. It would be virtually impossible to not repeat a series of 4 or 5 notes in different songs, especially when youve recorded as many things as slash has.

But ive never once thought Gravedancer sounded like FTP.

Me neither.

Not at all.

I was on writing on MSM and listening to it and commented on that fact as well, the person i was talking to also agreed

I also remember comparing the album to some of the Audioslave songs as that what Scotts voice reminded me of

..chris cornell?

Dunno, can't remember. But Last Fight sounds like All Around The World, by Oasis, and SBQM sounds a bit like Vertigo (U2) riff. :P

I know that I am a guitarist , but its just like certain licks are just too memorable to repeat to me i was like ehhh too NR , but I think Gravedancer is the best track on the album beautiful mesh of classic and modern slash solo with the wah !

I think the whole album is pretty much mediocre garbage.   

gravedancer sucks hard.

Im a guitarist too... and lets put it in perspective.. your talking about a very basis guitar fill... 5 or 6 notes... on a cover track...

Im just saying that it bothered me , it more than the FTP to Gravedancer supposed carbon copy.

It's 10x better than Fall To Pieces.

Uh no. Good song. Fall to Pieces is better. Better riff (even though its almost the same one on gravedancer) and much better slash solo

I'd like to hear an acoustic version of Gravedancer.

Kinda like the acoustic Fall To Pieces.

Only the intro. You'd think that if we can spot the similarity after a single listen, the musicians would be able to after hundreds of listens in the studio, but no....

That is just some piece of spectacular info there.  Thanks for sharing.



Now you've done lost your mind.  Take the cotton out of your ears.



Libertad rocks.  Sucks for anybody who disagrees.  I'm one who's supremely satisfied.

yeah fuck you my mind is sound, i dont like the album, you do. Wow people disagree thats life. 

 :hihi:  Word!  You must have been high though when you felt that the utterly flat sound of Audioslave compared to that of VR in any way, shape, or form.  That just might discredit ALL of your opinions.
