Wow i say slash fucked up the solo and the VR fans are up in arms.
Go figure. These are the same people that were bitching when BH and Robin played the solos different or blew a note.
If anyone who think slash didnt fuck up are just fooling themselves.
Now why was it ok when you guys were doing it to the new gnr yet when people point out slash fucks up too you guys get all pissy?
Like I said before, you guys thought it was great pointing out all the fuck ups by the new band, so now the shoe is on the other foot, and you must deal with it.
Its just funny watching you guys get all upset, you know I am right that is why you are getting so mad.
Way to go guys, you keep proving my points.
Thanks for doing that, you make it too simple.
As for if i hate VR, you read my review of the album thus far didnt ya?
As for robin not playing with emotion, you have got to be kidding me.
Did you even watch him play at the live shows?
Ok Dave, looks like you didn't even read what I wrote. You should at least read my opinion before say that we are only Slash fans that can't see anything wrong with him.
Sorry if I like VR
and
newGNR and you can't like those two bands at the same time. You're just making the others members point when you generalize like this.

How can anyone say he didnt fuck up the solo.
Its amazing how slash didnt fuck up that solo yet robin fucks up every solo
He played it very sloppy but of coarse slash fans will just pretend he played it perfect.
I really didn't think he did mess it up. To me he was just doing some mad vibrato and was going nuts.

I think Slash and Duff were great...but Scott was...I dunno, let's say I think I'll try to avoid the videos of the band, I'll stick to the audio boots. The way he's moving on stage is kinda weird I think, but that's just me.

In all honesty, the coolest guy there was duff. Slash was pretty good too, I like the solo. Scott's singing was off, especially the chorus. Scott should also consider learning some more dancing moves...every time I see him, he uses the same one.

Looks to me that many of the people stating Slash's solo was good said beforehand they they were BOTH nuGnR and VR fans. Some even said that they prefer nu GnR. Relax..... It doesn't even seem like you are reading peoples posts dude.

I liked the performance, Slash still looks the same and duff's hair has grown long again and they look great
Matt looked lke a tool flexing his muscles and Scott was okay except for the poofta pose he did at one stage
All in all i'm glad i stayed up to see it.

I don't know what some of you were watching but i finally got to see it last night.
It was a great confident performance. The solo was in tune/in key, so nothing wrong with that. Hendrix didn't play the same solo every time- it's rock n' roll man!
And i don't what the hang up over Scott is? There are obviously some repressed homo emotions coming out of some people lol From the descripitions i had read hear i was expecting to see leather chaps (ala axl lol) but he was just wearing normal black trousers surely ?? lol
I think some people havent got over the fact that It's not some cheesy metal singer up there (bach).
But in no way could you call that a bad performance. It was strong and in tune. Yeh Slash looks older, but so will you when your his age and have lived the life he has. It does not detract from the fact he is still THE Guitarist of our time he is awsome.

VR sounded fine....the real story of the night was that guy who broke 415 boards in 1 minute with his hand. That was truely unpleasent to watch and he was only trying to beat his own record, which he ended up tying.
Don't Duff and Scott do martial arts?

It was an aweome performance. Scott sang very well, Slash played the solo awesome. What the fuck is wrong with some of you? I played guitar for 15 years and That solo was friggin' awesome. There is no wrong notes, no timing faults. Get the bootlegs surfaced from Velvet revolver and listen Mr.Brownstone; that's the way that solo should be played.
This album will rock. Hope Axl releases cd sometime and we'll hear his awesome voice in new songs too.

i am reading the posts just fine. Some of you are just way to anal when it comes to the new guys in gnr but way to easy on slash.
Look at it this way, if that was robin playing the solo on letterman atleast 10 people would have claimed he fucked up the solo.
It amazes me the same people that claim robin fucks up SCOM are the same people that are saying slash didnt mess up this solo or better yet, when slash changes his solo a bit these people are saying its ok but when bh or robin did it it was wrong and ruining the songs. You all can get pissed at me all you want but I am just doing what these same people who are bitching did back during the 2002 tour.
Nitpicking is fun eh?

well i used to play guitar so i guess that throws their theory right out the window.
even if i never played guitar, you dont have to play guitar to hear when someone messes up

Here you go Dave, we'll make you a deal. We'll give Slash/Finck the benefit of the doubt when playing material they wrote. If they're covering work other guitarists wrote, in the case of Finck/Bucket....we expect it to be played as the original musician wrote it. The same will go for Slash when he covers STP songs....we'll make sure to rag on him. So when Finck(I would say Bucket but he isn't in the band anymore) copies Slash's solos....I want them perfect. When Slash plays material he wrote, he can do whatever he wants with it. That is the beauty of playing in a band where you actually play original material.

People were bitching when BH was changing the madagascar solo every show or when finck would blow a note on the blues solo, so its the same thing.
As for bands playing cover songs (ie robin playing the afd songs) its more likely that robin will play the afd songs diff from slash since robin will put his own twist on it.'
Its less likely slash would fuck it up since he wrote it.
You cant have it both ways.
A fuck up is a fuck up, it does not matter who wrote the song.
I really dont see why people have to go balastic when I or someone else does not like a VR song or think slash fucked up or scott sounds like shit.
People did it for the 2002 tour and we had to deal with it, so why cant these vr fans deal with it?
Its a simple question that has yet to been answered.

That makes no sense since many of the best covers doesn't sound like the original versions. When you play your own songs, that's when it should sound like it did on the record. Unless you're making a new version of the song.....
By your logic, GN'R messed up Knockin' On Heaven's Door and many of the other covers they played.

Knocken On Heavens Door does not have an anthem solo to it. Play the G Major Pentatonic and you could do whatever you want on that no one will care. But a lot of the GNR solos has a certain theme to them having said that I thought Robin did a good job on most of the solos. And slash did not fuck up the solo on letterman.

Of course. It's like said Buckethead fucked Nightrain with his own beautiful solo wich improved the song!
Anyways, the thing is: Slash didn't fucked up the solo, it's a fact. It's not a matter of taste or who likes who. I like VR and the VR fans can prove me wrong, but I think that Slash actually fucked up some solos in the first half of the Toronto show, but he didn't made anything wrong in Letterman. Robin Finck fucked up The Blues solo in Pittsburgh, but played the same song very well in NY. As a guitar player too, it's pretty easy to hear those things. Why is that too hard to understand?
