One thing missing from VR shows

[RichardNixon]

Slash solos. I was watching the Live in Japan '92 DVDs, and there were tons of solos. There were extended solos in the songs, solos between songs, and a few long solos. The intro to Paradise City alone is more of any solo Slash has done on the VR tour.

[Top-Hatted One]

you must've not seen VR recently. He plays a lonng solo right before 'wish you were here' and 'you got no right'  at my show in NJ they played  a little Patience instrumently before those 2 songs

[jarmo]

When I saw them in January, he did a talk box solo during "Illegal I" and then a acoustic solo before "Used To Love Her".

He has definetly done extra solos.. he did some extended stuff on slither, illegal I as mentioned. They just don't have that time to introduce the band stuff. Sex type thing when weiland was up in the crowd they kept playing for a long time with no singing.. Show moves

yeah I forgot about the talkbox solo. He still does that one

[Jamie]

He didn't do the talk-box solo when I seen VR. I wish he did though. That's one o my favourite parts from the Illusion DVD's

[mikegiuliana]

trouble with slash coming from gnr is there are way to many expectations./. Could say the same for new gnr if that ever happens..

Yea he did the same wen i seen them, a few extende songs aswell

[Rob]

Yeah, I saw them in Jersey a couple weeks back and he did a talk box solo and a couple other little things in between songs.  However, his solos in the songs on the album are very un-Slash.  I was very dissapointed in Slash's guitar work on Contraband.  His GN'R and Snakepit guitar stuff make his stuff on Contraband sound very generic and uninspired.

[Top-Hatted One]

I just wish Slash and Izzy would write another Nightrain together!

[RichardNixon]

I'm only going by the VR show I saw in MA, vs. the GN'R videos.

I think his playing on "Contraband" is great, esp. "loving the alien." For the next VR, I'd love a ten minute epic, w/a few great solos.

[KOK]

I`m going to see VR soon and I  would like to know what does their setlist look like nowadays? Are they playing You got no right and Loving the aliens? Do they play Wish you were here regulary now? Which Gnr tunes are they playing? Have they already played Come on come in?

[jellyhead]

was very dissapointed in Slash's guitar work on Contraband.? His GN'R and Snakepit guitar stuff make his stuff on Contraband sound very generic and uninspired.

WTF!?  The Snakepit records are dreadful.  Anything is better than them.  Nikelback even!

This is the set they played at the most recent shows on the last leg of the tour:

Sucker Train Blues
Do it For The Kids
Headspace
Superhuman
Crackerman
Illegal I
Fall To Pieces
Dirty Little Thing
Big Machine
It's So Easy
Sex Type Thing
Set Me Free

Wish You Were Here
You Got No Right
Mr. Brownstone
Slither


"Used To Love Her" was replaced by "Wish You Were Here".

You don't know what you're talking about.  His guitar playing on the Snakepit albums is amazing.  If you disagree then you don't know jack shit about guitar, buddy.  His solos and riffs are amazing.  They put his bland basic playing on Contraband to shame.

[Top-Hatted One]

I think there's a good chance they'll throw Loving the Alien and Spectacle in the set since its the last go around for Contraband before they go back in the studio in the Fall to record the next album. They always work on new songs to add to the set whenever they have a couple of weeks off.

So I think starting tonight at Zeppelinfield europe is going to be in for a treat this month!

amen dude.. His playing on snakepit was killer.. I think it's common for most people to just bash after gnr.. I don't say all but it wouldn't suprise me if some never even bought snakepit..

no question about it! the majority who bash haven't bought it or listen to it more than once! Slash's guitar work on both Snakepit albums is unreal! The ballads on Contraband have some great solos but the rockers outside of STB and DLT lack classic slash solos.

It's extremely funny that they do an acoustic version of patience when both slash and duff never even wanted to record it in the first place.

yep, goes to show how bad a liar Axl is. and how he's trying so hard to deflect blame on the other guys but himself.

its not surprising that Slash, duff, izzy like the song since they are all big Stones, beatkes, Pink Floyd, alice cooper fans
