Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Since it is the first confirmed song off the solo album I figured I would make its own stand alone thread for anyone who didn't migrate into the LAYN thread to see that it was played at the charity show.

Hopefully theres better songs then that.

Cool song, classic rock like classic rock should be! Hope we'll hear more songs like this soon.

The song is simply amazing.  The album will rock if the other songs are of this level.

Cool riffs, solo gains incredible momentum and vocals are awesome!

The song easily stood its own in a set of rock classics.  Slash is definitly in great form at the moment.

Sounds as good as anything thats been released by Slash since UYI's.

You're right. sorry, got a little excited there lol!

Fuck me!!  That was badass!  That solo was awesome!!!   : ok: :peace:

I thought it was pretty good-I have a feeling the album will have a classic rock feel

Best Slash since the UYI's?

We'll have to wait and see...

Cool song, can't wait to hear the rest of this album.

Hopefully... don't wanna get carried away though

Absolutely, it is 1 out of 18 songs, the rest could all blow.

However, without even hearing a finished studio version this may easily be the best rock song Slash has done (outside of Slither maybe) since the Illusions.

That riff is heavy and really catchy, and all of the tempo changes throughout the song and the build toward the solo (which is awesome) is about as complete a song as he has done.

It is not the paint by numbers plodding type of song we have seen him churn more often than he should.

It is only a live version, but I can totally see this sounding huge on a record, and he has already shown through the 2 songs not on the album that the production and sonic quality of the album should be awesome.

It is only one song, but at least this illustrates to us that he can still bring it (in case some people forgot or lost faith).

Great points!  i actually kind of liked Sahara too, although not half as much as this.
And i agree it sounds up there on Slither level.  I heard he was gonna play the new song with Ozzy too but they hadnt got it rehearsed.  Shame

Nice to hear the Slash wah back. I hope there are tracks with longer solos though. Maybe an instrumental?
Damn, I really want to hear the studio version of this song.

i think i recall hearing there is a song with dave grohl and Duff or something that is an instrumental.  (Could be VERY wrong though!)
I would like to hear some cool outro soloing.  Like in PC and Nightrain.
But i thought that solo was real cool.

nah, you're correct i've read it too : ok:

i put the link on my facebook page so hopefully even one friend will listen and dig it  :)

I loved vocals, Riff, solo, drums... in general GREAT song..

Good Song, Slash Is Back...

 :peace:

Sahara has been growing on me alot, this one is awesome too. I imagine the studio version will be a bit different and probably even more killer. Back when Slash played this riff as a showtune for Gibson on Sky TV last year I already mentioned he should use it in a song, glad he did :P

This song alone is better then any VR song imo.. just like Loaded blowed VR away. Kinda weird to me that Duff is better with Loaded and Slash seems better (out of the box, more rootsy) with his solo album, then the two combined on VR.

Really looking forward to Slash's album 8)

I love the fat groove that Slash, Chaney, and Barker have working on this song... I like Barker's style... A lil loose like Adler, good feel...  Man, very impressed with this tune...

I can't say too much based on a live recording, but that solo was definitely cool. :yes:

Studio version should be good too. :D

yeah...I agree, this song just has a good feel to it that the VR songs never had.  It's not plagued by that modern rock blandness.

gonna listen to it again  ;D

That was from Slash's Twitter tonight, maybe they are going to play their song again?

What I like is the line up we saw on stage.. Barker, Navarro, Chaney, Andrew, and Slash... That is a very strong lineup... But so was the one with Billy, Duff, Slash, Dave, and Travis... So much talent from the other night.  Its cool that Slash and Andrew are hanging out.

I guess that answers that question. He did play the new one again with Wolfmother this time, so I will be interested to see if another video turns up of it (maybe a little better quality) so be on the lookout.

Three bands at 2 different venues in one night is pretty good for Slash. He certainly has been making the rounds lately.

Naupis, you're the man.  I trust you''ll find a video and post for us all! :)

The song is awesome and i cant wait to listen to it more.

If all of the songs on the album are this good it seems that Slash has been reinvigorated. It's a pretty damn awesome track, and I can't wait to hear the album version of it. Certainly makes me feel better about the solo album, because it looks like it could feature his best work since 1991.
And I haven't been this excited for something of Slash's since the run-up to Contraband. Maybe not that long, but still...

Nice to hear him getting back to doing what he does best.  This is a hell of a lot better than the PC remix, Sahara, or Libertad, that's for sure

Well, this is the first video to surface of Slash playing with Wolfmother at the Wiltern last night and it only has the last minute or so of the song. Hopefully a good quality full version surfaces as the days goes on.

Also, here is a link to Slash playing "Walkin' The Dog" with Joe Perry at the House of Blues last night.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFdz_lx5cKM

Full video, but not very audible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw9dGBUtdIM

Here we have a very clean sounding version from when he played at the Wolfmother Concert.

Solo sounded alot better in this version, backing band better at Slash & Friends.

Loving Andrew's vocals as the song gets a real heavy Zeppelin vibe at points.

Mixed properly this thing is going to sound badass in the studio.

Slash should invite himself to join Wolfmother once his album cycle is done though, because I never appreciated how big and awesome a voice Andrew has. He has major range, and it sounds awesome with Slash's guitar.

i hope every song is like this or better!

Hope people will have the patience to listen to an album with 19 songs also. i know i will

andrew stockdale, slash and wolfmothers bassist should find a drummer with a similar set of hair and start a band, woulda been the coolest hairband  :smoking:

diggin' the song

maybe hendrix could come back from the dead.  Him and Slash on guitars!!!  Andrew on drums and vocals!
haven't seen that since the Eagles lol

I had exactly the same thought when I first saw the video. :hihi: These guys share the same barber.

I have to say that Slash's work on this song is fantastic.  Just fantastic.  Well done, Slash  : ok:

However, and this is a minor complaint, I find Stockdale's voice to be a bit abrasive in its nasal-ness.

But, the song itself is great.  Slash's riff is excellent, as is his lead work.

Ali

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the 2nd or 3rd single, instant classic.

I don't care if you are a "old" guns fan or a "new" guns fan or just a "guns" fan if you are a fan of good rock n roll music you damn well know this a fucking awesome song. Slash has a great tone on the video ; I know the recording is going to sound great the middle slow solo reminds me of UYI era slash very bendy and melodic. Good stuff only hope is that their is more rocking songs on the album ( AFD style riffs i'd die !!! )

By the sword - unofficial lyrics.   (Stolen from elsewhere)

With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside,
There's a time you need to hear the songs in life,
Well they claim they'd like to know,
And they'll fight you there to go,
And they're gatherin' around for all the show,

Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly posessions,
Are left for recollections,
And you find it in the sword ... no?

They're releasing all the hounds,
What is lost can still be found,
When you're walking down the town along the ground,
Well they stay there to survive,
(?) ... this searching sound,
and the journey's just begun,

Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly posessions,
Are left for recollections,
And you find it in the sword ... no?

With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside,
there's a time you need to leave it all behind,

Well there is no reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly posessions,
Are left for recollections,
And you find it in the sword ... no?

so far it seems the response has been overwhelmingly positive on every site i've seen
