But where is the guitar? I don't hear Slash on that track... Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: Grouse on November 14, 2009, 07:35:50 AM Yeah that song gave me a headache, where's the fucking guitar?
Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: Genesis on November 14, 2009, 07:41:48 AM I suggest nobody else listen to that link, until it's confirmed that's the song.

Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: Smoking Guns on November 14, 2009, 12:15:45 PM Okay, you can hear a lot of little guitar parts... But what is the point if you have to struggle to hear them?

Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: AxlReznor on November 14, 2009, 12:34:46 PM I had high hopes for this song. :-\
Anyone could have played that guitar parts. What's the point of getting Slash to play on a song if you're not going to make use of what makes him so distinctive from other guitarists?

Take A Look At Rihanna's Rockstar 101 featuring Slash Album Cover! The album cover for Rihanna's upcoming single entitled "Rockstar 101" featuring one of the best bands in music history Guns "N" Roses famous guitarist Slash! http://www.examiner.com/x-23873-Rihanna-Examiner~y2009m11d5-Take-A-Look-At-Rihannas-Rockstar-101-featuring-Slash-Album-Cover Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: faldor on November 14, 2009, 03:10:12 PM Jeez, you can hear Sebastian Bach more clearly on "Sorry" than you can hear Slash in that song. What a waste! I thought, the previous song that was posted supposedly as "Rockstar" didn't have enough guitar. But at least you could HEAR the guitar on that track. What the hell?
Song was pretty bad too. I don't mind some Rihanna songs, but it just doesn't sound right with her cursing and talking about checking her bra and panties. And just to cover myself, I don't blame any of this on Slash. He was just agreeing to appear on a massively popular artists album. Once again though, they blew it by basically NOT using him. The song shouldn't even mention he's featured because it's unnoticeable. Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat.

Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: D on November 14, 2009, 03:30:30 PM seriously
he is during the choruses, he sings the high part. I hear him very clearly now Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: Smoking Guns on November 14, 2009, 03:35:30 PM seriously he is during the choruses, he sings the high part. I hear him very clearly now Okay, I hear him now.... BARELY, him and Axl singing at the same time, but he is lower in the mix... Killer guitar solo by the way. BACK ON TOPIC: I hear some cool guitar lines in the Rock star song, but fuck, again, can barely hear them. Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: D on November 14, 2009, 03:37:30 PM maybe thats just a bad rip of the song or something?
Pretty cool though that a top artist thinks of Slash when they think of rockstar/guitar god cool compliment. Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: Naupis on November 14, 2009, 04:02:23 PM Kind of sucks for Slash he is pretty much inaudible in the song, because I suspect this song will be a pretty huge single for her when she releases it as it just has the feel of a song that will get major airplay. Would have been good for him to have some noticeable work in the song.

I agree it is a compliment for Rhianna to ask Slash to be on the song, but use the guy properly. She's taking a page out of Scott Weiland's book. Let's underutilize SLASH! Makes no sense! Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: MeanBone on November 14, 2009, 04:37:44 PM Cool fact, Rihanna has now collaborated with 2 Gn'r Members,
Richard Fortus was her touring guitar player for the 2008 tour and probably recorded with her, i'm not sure on that and now Slash the only real difference is that Slash didn't need to sink this low. and Richard did it because it's a good gig for a session guitar player and his name isn't really tarnished by doing so... Slash on the other hand has as much rock left in him as the Jonas Brothers... which the hang of it, might actually be his next musical collaboration! Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: D on November 14, 2009, 06:03:52 PM See dude, that is just ridiculous
sink this low? U realize he is guest playing on one of the most famous pop artists in the worlds single right? U may not like her, but she is at the top of the music biz right now. Being on her album is tons of publicity with his solo album coming out. Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: zihuatenajo on November 15, 2009, 12:04:54 AM I went to watch it , but fortunatly , being Canadian made me unable to cringe at this song which has made ears bleed :hihi:
Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: Genesis on November 15, 2009, 03:27:47 AM Okay, you can hear a lot of little guitar parts... But what is the point if you have to struggle to hear them? I'll be damned if I have to listen to that song again for some little guitar parts. I'd rather blow torch my nipples off... :P Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: mrlee on November 15, 2009, 07:00:20 AM yo bitch, ima a rockstar, UGH , YEAH.

So are the Jonas Brothers, should i like them as well just because they get played on the radio and fill arenas? i didn't realize being popular in the biz was a criteria for quality! sorry about that! :peace: Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat.

You can do a lot in 3 minutes. The worst part was after 10 seconds of the song, I thought, okay, I'm going to close the browser window. Then I thought, shit, what if there is a solo? I'll just hold on till the middle of the song. That goes by and then I think: Fuck, what if Slash has done some great outro? And before you know it, I had listened to that whole song. :crying: I want my three minutes back. >:( Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat.

Slash Post by: Naupis on May 25, 2010, 07:16:03 PM It's pretty wild how well his image has endured over the past 25 years that even still a 44 year old guitarist is the template for a "rockstar" video by one of the world's biggest pop stars. When you consider that just about every other guitarist from that 80's era has been relegated to relative obscurity it is impressive how he has managed to stay somewhat culturally relevant.

Slash Post by: Naupis on May 25, 2010, 07:50:15 PM Slash apparently was supposed to be in the video, but he is right that it probably worked better without him as the video is generating alot of buzz right now because of how she dressed up as Slash.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1640020/20100525/rihanna.jhtml Quote Rihanna can always be counted on to deliver killer hooks and sexy looks in the eye-popping videos that accompany her chart-owning singles. The just-premiered clip for "Rockstar 101," off her smash '09 album, Rated R, is no exception. The visual casts Rihanna as the frontwoman for a rock band whose members include Blink-182 drummer (and friend-of-everyone) Travis Barker. Perhaps the most striking image comes during the song's breakdown, when Rihanna appears dressed as none other than iconic guitarist Slash. And it's a fitting homage, as the former Guns N' Roses axeman provided the track's signature riffage. But the original concept didn't have Rihanna putting on a gender-bending performance. "I was supposed to actually be in that video," Slash told MTV News. "I played on the song, and they called me up to ask me to play in the video, but my record was just coming out, and I was sort of worn thin," he explained. "She was really sweet. She sent me this pleading text to come do the video, but I couldn't make it work. I told her that me not being in the video wasn't going to make or break it." So what does Slash think of Rihanna's pantomime-like depiction of him in the clip? "The video is way better with her being me than with me being me," he said. "All things considered, it brings an element of sexuality to it that I probably wouldn't have been capable of. I think it's hot, and I sent her a text this morning telling her it was definitely hotter with her doing it than with me doing it. Everything works out the way it's supposed to." Slash admitted that he hadn't heard back from her yet, but their easy relationship is one of mutual admiration: Rihanna is a huge fan of Guns N' Roses, the singer told him, and Slash was way into "Umbrella." "I don't come from that side of the fence, but I particularly liked [Good Girl Gone Bad]," he said. Although he couldn't make the clip's shoot, Slash told us he feels pretty good about the outcome. "I'm way more flattered that she played me in the video than her asking me to be in it," he said. "All things considered, she's pretty cool." Did you think Rihanna's "Rockstar" take on Slash was spot-on? Or does she need to work on it? Let us know in the comments! Title: Re: Rihanna - Rockstar 101 feat. Slash Post by: FunkyMonkey on May 25, 2010, 09:54:21 PM Slash Is 'Flattered' That Rihanna Channels Him In 'Rockstar 101'

Legendary guitarist Slash told MTV News that he was originally supposed to appear in Rihanna's video for "Rockstar 101" in which she appears dressed as none other than the iconic GUNS N' ROSES axeman.

"I played on the song, and they called me up to ask me to play in the video, but my record was just coming out, and I was sort of worn thin," he explained. "She was really sweet.
