That's a definite contender to take over as my least favorite track on the album so far.  I really struggle to find anything redeeming from that song.

Maybe that's the trick.  I'll go down a six pack and see if it sounds any better.

yeah this is the track I am least interested in, Cornell does nothing for me. Im going to wait till the record comes out to listen to this.

I think I like this most so far....definitely has a cool laid back vibe to the song yet still punchy and catchy at the same time.  This doesn't sound like a "Soundgarden/Guns 'N Roses" mashup as one may think....it's a cool song on it's own.

Very average. I guess I didn't expect anything more from this track.

That's probably why I don't like it.  It sounds like solo Chris Cornell, which never did anything for me save for maybe a song or two.  I would've much preferred a Soundgarden/GNR mashup.  Well, they can't all be winners.

Expected more from Chris big time, guitar work isn't too bad but this could have been a lot better.

Chris Cornell is one of my favourite vocalists of all time. Even the godawful album with Timbaland was slightly redeemed by his voice and melodies. And in my opinion, he hasn't let me down with this track. I'd probably put this just below Beautiful Dangerous and Watch This.

This song is fantastic!

I saw the lyrics at mygnrforum.com, the song is certainly for Slash's kids:


The first time I ever saw you
You had that far away look in your eyes
And heaven's eyes shine down upon you
And the whole room filled up with light

Now the cruel world its gonna try and change you
Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
Now the rich (???) how to chain you
You got to keep your fire burning inside

Promise me you won?t let them put out your fire

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
And it seems to love watching you fall
I wont lie to you, its gonna happen
You got to pick yourself up and move on

Promise me you won?t let them put out your fire

Solo

Which star will I be thinking of tonight (?)
Tonight

Promise me you won?t let them put out your fire
Promise Me
(Why don?t you)
Promise Me
(Why don?t you)

good song. that's it. like the rest of the songs-  servicevable. forgettable. the only song i can picture head bobing down to the highway on is "GHost"with Ian Asbury. that song get me excited . Meh. again i could take one leave this one. i thing the Slash lites are getting carried away with this their love for these songs because they want so bad to love them.  most are instantly forgettable , but not bad and again servicable. IMO, nobody will care in a few mos. It pains me to say this beceause i really really wanted  love this album. lika i luve CD, but it's just not happenimg, nothing wrong, just nothing that stellar, more of a novelty. Can't say. I expect More of Slsh though. he just wants to play & have fun. more power to him! & I always  like hearing his solos& distinct sound.


I will pick this CD up when it comes out & give it multiple listens on a killer sound sytem & see  if my opionin changes. :smoking:

To me, with the exception of 1 or 2 songs, CD was nothing special.. both VR albums were nothing special.. but the new Slash album sounds great so far. Definetly his best work since Snakepits (his playing was really good on there, but the rest of the band weren't that great imo).

Have you sobered up or are you still drunk?

Again, after first listen I was not impressed by this song.  But we'll see.  It's rare a song blows me away the first time around so I can't be too hard on it.

Post by: Bill 213 on March 27, 2010, 11:33:24 AM
But I don't think it's a "blow you away" kind of song.  I think it's just a song you listen to and enjoy it for what it is.  The Ozzy song isn't too bad either.  I think this will be a neat album.

I was trying to be nice.  I really didn't like the song after hearing it once.  Maybe I can warm up to it.  I'm quite certain it will never blow me away.

I absolutely love it. The early reviews shattered my hopes for that track, and therefore it was a pleasant surprise.

promise is easily one of my favorites
