Yeah you've done some real masterpieces (Cypress Hill, Fergie)

Maybe you can get him to sing November Rain

I'd like to hear any of those, especially "Serial Killer".   It was great hearing "Mean Bone" on the live CD.

I think it's safe to say that some artists/musicians don't view their own work like some of us fans do.
They don't view it as sacrilegious to work with people outside of their genre, comfort zone.

You got one part right, though. Slash has contributed to some masterpieces in his time.
I certainly wouldn't rank Cypress Hill or Fergie among them, but they can't all be zingers.

Eminem doesn't do anything for me, but I can't really picture many artists of today that would get Slash overly excited.

Would love to hear Serial Killer!
Beggars was one of the highlights for me on the last tour.

I'd probably change my tune if I were in the building and heard that opening bass line, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about hearing Coma without Axl.
I would have liked to think that the reason Axl hadn't been playing Estranged live was out of respect for Slash. Not that he had given us any reason to think he had any. It's not an epic w/o Slash's guitar work, and Coma isn't the epic w/o Axl's incredible lyrics/vocals. I guess you can say that about most of their songs, but I always looked at those songs as kind of the untouchables if you will, if there was such a thing(clearly not). Fuck, I waste too much time thinking about this band!
