Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Vote above : ok:

I've got to go with "By The Sword".  I think they made the right choice with the lead single.  The Fergie track is pretty good too, though I don't know if it has staying power,,, for me.  I Like both of the Myles Kennedy tracks too, and Kid Rock as well.  The others, eh.

I went with Nothing to Say. :)

was between Ghost, By The Sword and Starlight


Chose Ghost just cause it really fires me up and the guitar stuff is amazing

all are tied for me though

Slash & Izzy

GHOST  : ok:

"Beautiful Dangerous", and my favorite bonus track is "She Can't Drive" with Alice Cooper and Steven Adler.

I went with Iggy to show him some love. Loves me some Iggy.

Yeah, the lyrics are cheesy, but that's the way it was back early 80's style.....when it was all about gettin' high and fuckin'. Or, was it fuckin'....then gettin' high?!?

Ghost!

For me "Nothing to Say", "I hold On" and "Beautiful Dangerous" are the top ones.  I love the whole thing except for "Ghost", Dr. Alibi", "Were all gonna die" and "Back from Cali". I dont dislike those songs, I just happen to skip those songs the most, but the rest of it I listen to NON STOP.

Seriously the best song is crucify the dead. If you don't like it listen to it again. Also can you let me know why you don't like it? The melody and the lyrics and the guitar solo's and everything are right where they should be. The drums are sweet to.

I voted Watch This, but Nothing to Say is another favorite.  I like most of the tracks, anyway.

It was between lemmy and iggy for me.

I cant believe no one has voted for doctor alibi

Best songs on the album:

1-We're all gonna die
2-Doctor alibi
3-Crucify the dead
4-by the sword

THe rest is... meh.. but those four are beyond awesome !

you got it backwards.

To prefer fergie and kid rock to 3 of history's greatest rock singers is just wrong  :hihi:

haha im with ya.  im not saying I prefer Fergie and Kid Rocks entire catalog to those 3 singers, but I def like their songs on the Slash album more. With all due respect to Lemmy, Iggy, and Ian.

Id Pick Nothing to say..But i really love Ghost, Beautiful Dangerous and Crucify the dead.. :beer:

Between Dr Alibi, Ghost and By The Sword

Dr Alibi... rock n roll :beer:

I was gonna vote Nothing To Say, but Ghost is an almost perfect Slash rock song.

Great riffing between Slash and Izzy, great understated (and very fucking cool) vocals by Ian Astbury, and a perfectly executed Slash solo, that sounds more than just random noodling.

It sounds like a typical Ozzy song from the last decade, which I haven't been a big fan of.  Though it has grown on me a little of late.

I'm surprised "Ghost" is getting so much love.  What am I missing with that song?  It's just okay to me.  Starts off good, but then sort of goes nowhere.

+1  Im still agreeing with you on a lot Faldor!  :)  i voted By The Sword as the best song.  Im not mad on Crucify cos its just sort of boring.  Ozzy has never been great at ballads.  with the exception of Mama im coming home. 

And Ghost, well i like it...  but its not a classic really.  decent opening track but it wouldnt exactly get a live show off to a flier.

It is a simple track musically, I'll say that much, but it has such a HUGE groove going on.
I just think more than any other track on the album, everything works so well together, riffing, vocals, solo. It all flows so well and so flawlessly.

And to appreciate it fully, listen with the balance over on Izzy's side, and then listen with it on Slash's side, it sounds just like Appetite-era GN'R guitar playing. :beer:

And when Ian first sings (although it almost sounds like he's just speaking rather than singing) "Rock N' Roll", I can't help but go, fuck yeah! :peace:

Make sure you listen to Ghost at full volume too.
The song really shines when played loud, as does most of the album.

Why does it have to go anywhere? It's just a good rock song. Good riff, good solo, everything. I agree the lyrical content is meaningless and Astbury's vocals sound spaced out, but it suits its purpose in tying the song together.
You're looking for too much in a simple song. Give it a few listens.

Right now

Starlight,Gotten and Saint is A Sinner Too are my favorites


this album,at first i was a bit worried that maybe it wouldn't have a lot of staying power... i thought maybe the artist would give Slash half effort and give him a B side performance

but NOOOOOOOO

I listen to some of these songs thinking their bands are gonna be pissed they gave this away


I know everyone hates Adam Levine cause he sounds wimpy etc,but that song as far as love songs go is incredible lyrically,emotionally and imagery.

"I dont want to picture him, touching your fragile skin......"
"I've been saving these last words for, one last miracle but now im unsure.. i can't save u, if u won't let me.. u just get me, like ive never been gotten before.

those may not be 100 percent accurate but still.. just terrific.

I can hear that song dominating adult contemporary radio.

right now, gotten is at least among my top 5, which surprises the hell outta me :hihi: I'll write my review of the album when all have sunk in.. can't say which one's my favorite right now either, probably by the sword

Honestly, right now it's Beautiful Dangerous, followed closely by I Hold On. The damn thing's been in my head since I first heard it. :P

I'm also surprised at all the love for Ghost. I like it, I think it's a good song and a good opener, just didn't expect it to be as popular as it seems to be.
