World Premiere Of "Slither" On BBC Radio

[DeadHorse]

I'm in the same boat as everyone else. What the hell happened to song structure we heard in the live performance?

After listening to radio version I'm convinced Slash's second hypnotic solo is just cut right out, the song just doesn't mess.  
As is the outro solo, which is a shame b/c those 2 factors do the song some much justice.

Lets all hope that "Slither's" album version is a closer recarnation of the live performance than this "radio friendly" verson we have today.

Neverthrless a million thanks to Giblet for hosting it.

Cheers

I really dig the studio version. It's not quite as good as the live version, but it's perfect for getting their foot in the door and getting people to take notice. It's not an amazing song by any means, but it's a good, solid, rock track which is exactly what I expected.  

[AxlsPiano]

i never listened to the live version so this is the first time for me. i think its a great rock song, which is what i expected from them in the first place. nothing disappointing here

[dave-gnfnr2k]

The song is mediocre, id give it a 6/10,  the song just does not do anything for me. The solo is decent but the melody is boring and the vocals are meh.
If this song is one of the best on the album its going to be a big disapointment.

Btw here is a better version.thx to ozzycat from newgnr

ps not sure if this was mentioned but someone said at the bar that the slow part was cut out for the radio edit version.

[GNRisAFD]

I think its a vast improvement on the live version and i can't beleive people are calling this ordinary. I'm not blown away by it but i'm rather impressed, its a decent effort and certainly better than anything out there. 8/10

[MeanBone]

i think the song is rather ordinary, has a good solo, i wasn't that impressed cuz i already know what slash duff and matt are capable of, and this wasn't even the best i've heard from them. i think scott's voice is very poor, at least it doesn't please me that much, no high notes, same kinda voice, notta lot of feeling i guess. dave's parts seem to be very cool, average song that will be on MTV 24/7 t'ill everyone gets tired of hearing it i guess.. i give it a 12/20. and i expect better songs in the cd.

Thanks for the praise on the mix.  I did some 10 band EQ and compression on the track.  But for copyright reasons, we have taken it offline.  Sorry guys.

Well, it is the single...I dont see the problem with putting it up, especially when everybody is making judgements on a less-than-perfect version they already have.  I think youd be doing a service.  But its cool...

[brill27]

Does anyone have a link to the remix Ozzy did? I am dying to hear it but it's unavailable everywhere now. My AIM is brill0227. Thanks.

I think the vocals are too low for the music, but I love the song. Killer riff with the chorus IMO.

[GnRNightrain]

Not impressed at all.  I think the recording didnt sound that great, but its an average song, and hopefully not the best song.
I agree, that Set Me Free is 10x better.

This single is not gonna jump out at anyone.  I liked the 30 second clip a lot, but I dont like the chorus.  It totally takes away the flow of the song.

Damn, I'm too late!!!
This was all over the net only a few hours ago (here and the VR forum) and now none of the links work... D'oh!
And I can't listen to the stream cause I dont have that sh*tty realplayer.

Any chance you could email me the file OzzyCat?
My email address is alex_s@iprimus.com.au

Let me know here how big the file is first. Thanks

[darkmonth]

Nope, sorry... I haven't had any work in for two months (I'm a freelancer), so have had to cut back... DSL was a cutback... I'm temporarily on Dial Up...

Booker, I wont distribute it BECAUSE it's the single.  Single's are commercially sold on the shelves.  Recording and distributing radio broadcasts is illegal.  Well, it is where I come from.  UK.  And I'm not gonna screw them over like that.

Sorry guys.  I'm sure someone else has it.  But even if I wanted to send it all over the net again, I wouldn't because of my dial up.

[Jizzo]

Anyone transcribe the lyrics?

[Falcon]

I like the song quite a bit, a definate departure for Slash.  Very rhythm and groove orientated.

The vocal mix is a bit too quiet, Scott needs to be heard..

Got the link at http://www.velvetrevolverforum.com

is this actually the song? If it is, holy shit what a let down. This is a run of the mill mid level rock song........hell it doesn't even sound like Weiland and if that's Slash, he's really got to do better than this.

[TrueRock&Roll]

ok, maybe I'm retarded,  but I can't get any of these things to work.   does anyone have the song on their computer that they can post a link of it here please

[Top-Hatted One]

Weiland comes up with a new voice for every record he does.

[norway]

Help me out, i'm really looking out for the live verson of this song. Does anyone know where it is?

[starchild_666]

with every listen I like this song more and more
