Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Slash - You're a Lie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB05RxsKxUY

I am not too crazy about this clip.  Sounds way too similar to the Rod Jackson Snakepit for my liking.  Not to say its bad, but I am not feeling it.  I loved the first Slash solo album too. 

Can't judge a song off a 30 second clip, never mind a whole record, but it sounds pretty bland, kind of like the old Snakepit stuff.  I really dug the first solo album as well, but that was because you had 13 other guys bringing a whole new fresh sound to Slash's playing.  I'm obviously going to buy the record when it comes out, but it sounds exactly like I thought it would after I heard Myles was doing all the vocals.

Awesome song title though.  Haven't listened to the clip yet.

It sounds fuckin bad ass! I don't know what you guys are hearing. I can't wait for the rest of it. :love:

Sounds nice and heavy. :)

Too short of a clip for me to really judge.
Doesn't sound like Snakepit to me, though. I personally thought Snakepit got a bad rap.
Real strong material on there, spoiled for the most part by the less than stellar frontmen, though they each had their moments.

I'd be okay with a "Snakepit" sounding record if Myles can pull his own weight.

Sounds pretty nice  ;D

Definitely Agree with that, even though i liked the first frontman in Snakepit much better than the second one on the second album

Yeah, same here.

I am surprised no one else hears the Rod Jackson era Snakepit vibe.  I hope I am wrong.  Its not that I didn't like that band, but it certainly was not the high point of Slash's career. 

I can't judge the song based on a 30 second clip, I hope it turns out to be a cool album although I am not a Myles fan and I cannot stand to hear him singing the GN'R songs live.  :smoking:

I'm not home yet to hear the clip but if it sounds anything like Snakepit 2 I will be thrilled!

Sounds pretty good but doesn't knock my socks off.  I'll buy the album though cuz I dug the Myles tracks on the first one. 

Not completely sure if I want a whole album of 'em or not, but let's give it a roll---

Just heard the clip. Sounds nothing like Snakepit. Too short to form an opinion imo. Chords in the chorus sound like Nickelback but im sure the overall song is resembles something a lot better lol


By the Sword might've been a better song but this 1st single sounds more radio friendly

I know it's too early to judge, but having listened to this clip a few times, I don't really like it at all so far.
It doesn't really sound much like Slash, and more like typical modern radio rock.

Hoping the rest of the song is better than this, and I hope the rest of the album is more classic Slash and less like this.

I saw this on the AB board. Slash is debuting the song at 4pm Sydney time monday. Which means in America that is tonight!!

I hear it, sounds very 'dated'. I liked Snakepit 2, but it sounded very 'dated'. I'm afraid this album is gonna tank very fast.

Yep, the full version of this track is gonna debut this afternoon in Australia on Triple M, along with a Slash interview.

To celebrate the release of the new single, Slash will be a guest on the Merrick And The Highway Patrol show on Feb 27, from 4pm.

It's 12:35pm here in Australia, so make sure to tune in in about 3.5 hours!

Can someone who knows how to do audio capture use that radio link Metallex78 provided to capture the song in a few hours to put on youtube?

I agree with above - it's too short of a clip to really tell anything.  I look forward to the release of the album.  All I can say, so far, is great cover art and album name. 

The station just announced, Slash will be co-hosting the second hour of the show, so he'll be on in 15 minutes or so.

Slash is back. One of the best solos we have heard from him in a while with great riffing.

Yeah it's pretty cool. The opening riff at 20 seconds in, has that classic Slash tone, that no-one but him can produce. Myles sounds cool, and the chorus has grown on me. Nice tasty little Slash solo in there too.
It's not the greatest thing Slash has put out, but it's got some balls, and it'll be nice to hear on the radio instead of Nickelback and alike.

If this is the most 'radio friendly' track on there, I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more. : ok:

Pretty weak effort to be honest, maybe it'll grow on me.
I'm hoping this is just the mandatory radio friendly first single :-\

sounds dated and cheesy
and this singer has definitely the irritating voice of the decade.

the solo is ok

At first listen...
Not bad, not great.

Music is cool but a bit safe sounding.
Hoping Myles has more to offer in the lyrical department on the rest of the record.

Good lyricists are certainly a dying breed.

It's about what you'd expect from Slash at this point.  Good mashup of Snakepit (circa 2000) type verses and VR choruses/riffs.  I like it. 

Sounds very forgettable to me. Extremely safe sounding. Lyrics and riffs do not break any new ground. Sounds like VR lite. And for the record I loved the last slash album.

dated, cheesy, average-town. Cmon slash please let the rest of the album be better. Solo is OKAY

I agree with most of the comments, good solo, but song as a whole is way too generick. 

i'm not a huge Myles fan, i didn't like Star light at all but i did like Back from Cali,  i hope this song isn't represenative of the whole album, cheesy and dated is a little harsh but not too off the mark. i'm sure theres something better, hopfully a bunch more.   

My biggest beef is with the drummer, its way too straight sounding no groove, Slash's biggest fault in my eyes is that over time the drummers hes chosen have gotten worse and worse (maybe not technically but feel wise for the songs hes making) Adler had the best groove to go with Slash, I like certain things hes done with Sorum Contraband was good sorum on Its five O'clock somewhere wasn't that bad, I give him a pass on UYI as the songs were already written without him. But Josh Freese on the last album was very bland (Dave Grohl on Watch this was AWESOME that is one of the best songs slash ever did)

ok just heard the whole song... initial impression: Myles does not sound good on this track  :no:

Do NOT like the chorus at all, as some one else said it actually does sound like Nickelback!  But I like the opening riff to the song, honestly reminds me of a riff I'd hear from Slayer and Slash's solo is great.  I actually would say I love the solo.  The lyrics leave something to be desired. 

It's an ok song, it's not bad. I have no idea why people to expect anything ground breaking anymore from any bands. There is no such thing as "original" music anymore. Just listen to anything on the radio, everything sounds the same.   :beer:

Pick up the new Van Halen.. u will change ur mind on that

It's good, I guess. I like this deeper voice Myles is using, hope it's on more songs.

I gave this song a listen, and I have to say that the beginning chords are awesome. And I thought that the song was going to be something I would want to listen to regularly, but I was wrong. After the intro, we go into a standard and generic sounding rock song, which could have been done by anyone.

And I've come to appreciate Myles, at least he does a good job doing what he does with Slash, and you can tell he puts his heart into everything. But this song, is just too simple and it seems like no passion was put into making it the best it can be.

It's certainly not on the same level as By The Sword, Starlight and Ghost...

first 3 listenings....there are some nice guitar parts in it   :beer:
though its hard to come up with a killer chorus these days....this one is just weak to me, lyrically and musical.

but i cant get access on the whole song here in Germany anymore  >:(

Forgettable ...basic...


Just like almost all the things Slash did since he left Guns N' Roses.

I have listened to the new VH album, while it's cool and kicks ass it's still not ground breaking. It's better than most of the other VH albums tho.

I really like it :) :peace:

majorly seconded. The drummer is SO 80's and WAY too perfect and nothingy. 0 personality, lame drumming.

TBH I think slash doesn't appreciate the feel of drummers he plays with - i read somewhere he likes "drummers who can keep it straight". I think he is way to guitar minded, even when he listens to his music. Straight-ness is okay if you are creative with your beats (sean kinney from AIC, vinnie paul, lars sometimes, sorum sometimes), but if you just play generic rock beats straight its so boring. If you are going to play a simple beat in this kinda music, you need GROOVE. Chad smith, taylor hawkins, dave grohl, ringo, ian paice - all the greats.

Footnote Josh freese is actually an incredible drummer but i agree he was boring as fuck on that last album with occasional moments.


I do like Myles low singing voice; but that's about it with this song. lame melody, cheesy lyrics, generic rhythm section - the branded 'rock' that I vehemently hate. And I really loved slash's last album. I seriously hope slash has pulled something interesting out of his aging ass on this album because this song is very disheartening
