I'm off to buy that copy.

It's fuckin' great to see the band get such high-profile publicity. Guitarists make up a huge population of the rock music industry, and since most of them hate Axl and love Slash, it's more likely they'll go and buy the album now...

Which is a good thing.

Guitar magazines have always given Slash a good write-up over the years. Even when he put out the Snakepit albums they gave some good interviews with him.

Guitarists still hold Slash in high regard (even myself, as I'm a guitarist) for the work he did in GN'R, regardless of the music he has released since.

He almost has rock immortality thanks to the GN'R legacy.

"This is the first time I've really felt part of a band"

 

He could have said that this was the first time he really felt he's the boss of a band...

Slash is God, but that was just a plain stupid thing to say and if someone ask him about that quote he'll say something different...

How could you be the lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses 10 years + - and not feel like being a part of the band??? if huge would have said it, i'd understand, but Slash...

I can't wait for contraband, and if cd comes while it's still going strong it'll be very interesting just to see which ones sell the most.

i like the sound of not being able to compare it with anything of todays music tho, thats very promising!!! today's music mostly suck imo with ofcourse a handfull of exceptions.

Maybe because Axl never showed up to rehearsals, sound checks, recording sessions?
Maybe because he was high 99% of the time?
Maybe because by the time he wasn't high, Axl had hire paul huge and Izzy had left?

why say such a thing when you know it's total bs?? as far as i know gn'r has recorded five brilliant discs... they have played i don't know a thousand gigs together... and i don't believe that axl was the one who was high all the time...

When I said "he" I meant Slash.  And it's irrelevant that they recorded 5 great albums.  They could've recorded three hundred, but Slash still might have not felt he was part of a band.

cool, i just don't see that as a possibillity, not ever feel like being a part of the band that is.. a band that did so much, and achieved so much.. together...

anyway, i'm glad he does now..
