Slither has NO chorus

[luciano]

It?s sick

The song Slither has NO chorus

It?s ridiculous.  

That "part" of the song ("here comes the water...") wich everybody (including the band) considers to be the chorus is actually a bridge to a chorus that NEVER comes.  

It?s the BIGGEST shame that Izzy is not on this band.  

It?s a shame Slash did have "higher aspirations" to this band and did NOT want to throw the things in the Van and go out and play (with Izzy & Duff singing).  

Because these guys (Slash, Duff & Matt) are the best in what they do and they can?t even get a chorus in their fucking FIRST SINGLE.  

Ok, if Slither was a filler (and it was said the album does not have any). But no chorus on the fisrt SINGLE?  

And the weird thing is, if they (Matt, Duff, Slash) had never been in Guns n Roses, they would be like the best band around today.  

But since it?s pretty hard to avoid comparing both... One can not help saying that they need Izzy so bad that it?s shocking.  

One day Izzy and Dee Dee Ramone will be recognized among the greatest songwriters of modern rock n roll.  

Fuck, listen to 53rd and 3rd   and Sweet Caress !

Bah, so what.  GNR's greatest song, "Estranged" doesn't have a proper chorus either.  It only has a couple repeated mini verses.

comparing Slither to Estranged???  Those two songs should never be mentioned in the same sentence... no matter how small.....I always thought Slither sucks too...Set Me Free isnt that good either... The cover of Pink Floyd's "Money" was good but that was a cover.... I want to hear a full bootleg before i give this band any credit for thier original songs.... I think the ones Izzy wrote will be the best ones.... Slash and Duff and Matt are not very good song writers...

What are you talking about no chorus? If that isn't a chorus, I don't know what definition you're using.  From the sound of the reviews, this band is doing just fine.  I love Izzy, think hes a songwriting genius...wouldn't mind him in the band.  However, if he and duff were singing, VR wouldn't be taken nearly as seriously as they are now.

I dig Izzy as well but agree with leadbelly fully.  Weiland gets them into places they couldn't even sniff with Izzy or Duff fronting the band (IE KROQ and other Modern Rock heavyweights).

Back on topic...

Who gives a fuck?  The song is getting played all over the place, climbing the charts,, et al.

Bitching about structure is just looking for something to bitch about IMO.

Its a popular song and the way VR plays it live would be a good closer, almost as good as negative creep was last night

Wait..so youre telling me that the part of the song Ive liked all this time isnt actually the chorus, but the bridge?!  Well this changes everything.  Im devestated.  

What are you talking about?  How is that "part" not the chorus?

You really need to find a hobby.

Just because the word "Slither" isnt said, doesn't mean there isn't a chorus in the song.

Man, what a stupid topic.

Slither rocks.

He didn't "compare" Estranged to Slither. He just said that neither had choruses. You my friend are in the minority saying that Slitehr sucks but everyone is entitled to an opinion.  As for the songs Izzy wrote being the best ones..well they didn't make the album so they won't be the best ones......

[metallex78]

I love Izzy and think he's a great guitarist, but all these people keep saying how the best VR songs would be the ones written by him, when I've yet to hear any Izzy solo songs that are on par with GN'R material he wrote.

And people keep forgetting, VR is NOT GN'R so why should they sound exactly like GN'R???

They sound like a kickass modern hard rock band with hints of classic elements from STP and GN'R and that suits me just fine.

slither is a bad ass motherfuckin song

it kills anything by audioslave

it is better than chinese democracy the song

this song is growing like fuck on me, i love it! and when i see the video im proud as fuck of these guys!

He didn't "compare" Estranged to Slither. He just said that neither had choruses.

and i said that they should not be used in the same sentence.. coz one is a masterpiece and one is a piece of something else... nothing like having to post the same thing twice...

You my friend are in the minority saying that Slitehr sucks

reeeeeely? start a Poll and see...

 As for the songs Izzy wrote being the best ones..well they didn't make the album so they won't be the best ones......

how do you know this???

kockstar i love your posts i think u are an awesome dude! and i agree with almost everything u usually post

but dude slither is awesome!

true its not on estranged scale but then again what is?

but u cant really compare VR to GNR cause its totally different

i didnt like slither the first few times i heard it, but now i really really love it

just like oh my god by gnr i hated it the first 20 times i heard it, now its one of my favs

i hated garden of eden for 12 years now its one of my favs

Slither has an awesome riff, nice vocals, great solo, great energy its kick ass!

the videos kinda shit, i dont understand it at all but they look cool playin!

You also started your post with "comparing Slither to Estranged???" which he didn't do. I got that right from your post. I am not making shit up here.

No need to start a poll. The reaction on the VR boards is great. Not to mention the song is climbing up the charts with no signs of slowing down.

 As for the songs Izzy wrote being the best ones..well they didn't make the album so they won't be the best ones......

how do you know this???

Because Slash just said it in an interview. Once again. not making shit up..
