Losing my respect for VR.

[Dayle1066]

I think Axl can be a prick from what we hear. Simple. But I love his music and I know that he has an amazing talent and I want to see him make an amazing record.

Im a huge Slash fan, I'll admit he's my hero and I follow him in VR alot more than Axl, but just because Slash isnt in a band with Axl anymore doesnt mean I have to be like alot of ppl here and hate the ex-members or hate axl. So as opposed to writing stupid fuckin threads like this, grow up and make some decent conversations with fair points. Its so easy to write stupid shit on the internet when there isnt someone right there to ask for a real opinion.

As stated before, I'm not too thrilled with the Pharell talk..

Although...

I've heard many calls for Rick Rubin in this thread, so...

Let's put this into historical perspective.

If memory serves me correct, Rick's first real producing gig in early 85 was a home grown version of The Beastie Boys "Cookie Puss".? Within 2 years he'd produced full ablbums by Slayer, LLCool J, The Cult, Run DMC and the aformentioned Beasties. 

See where I'm going?

Food for thought...

I don't think VR will become a rap group. Not to worry.

We think alike. I was contemplating trying to explain to everyone who wants Rick Rubin that he broke in producing rap, lived with rappers, had a rap label, etc, etc............, but figured they still wouldn't understand. VR has never given me reason to doubt they know how to make great music, so I'll wait to hear the collaboration before wigging out about Pharell.

When all else fails, I say get Mutt Lange.  Gauranteed to be huge then. 

[AXL 20]

wow. It sounds like it's Jon Bon Jovi and C.C. DeVille sitting behind the computer on multiple usernames. Slash doesnt have to prove anything to any of you. He already has been doing it since 86-06. He can stand there up front of a green screen and smoke with some gay little rapper grabbing his scrotum and jumping around on the screen and i think it would be good since it is slash, and ntehr eis always a mute button. he is a hero, same with Axl and Izzy and Duff and Steven. Even Gilby and Matt and Dizzy. This is a GN'R/VR forum. If you don't like Slash or Axl I suggest you sit down and do something productive rather than bitch about people who are 1000x more talented and 1000000x more succesful than you or me.

so he goes hip-hop. hes like a ferrari without a driver.

all this does is reaffirm my belief he is nothing without axl.

This thread reafirms my belief it shouldn't have been started in the first place.

totally agree, axl works with stupid people, and he gets no critics, now, slash and VR tries something different and people stupidly make comments

[Eazy E]

Also whats to say this Pharrell guy isnt a rock n roll fan just because he produces hip-hop?

Pharrell is in his own rock band.

Yeah, I understand what you're tryin' to say but the difference is that RR has done amazing work which proves he can do it whereas Pharrell has just mediocre pop-junk to back him up. So there's a huge difference here.

but is there any reasnos why he does..? Look at everything that has unfolded since gnr broke up from 1999 till 2006, you can't find anything wrong that might give axl negative press..? Even a person who doesn't follow this can see the light..

But the thing is, people Axl has worked with, have actually proven they can do something. In this case mr Pharrel has done mediocore/bad hip-hop music.
This IMO just leaves the option that VR chose him for publicity in mainstream (MTV audience) eyes.

[mrlee]

yeah but a rock band of the calibur of VR working with Pharrell is something new and should be interesting. Rubin would want to kill all Slash's solos. He prefers simple solos

lol and slash doesnt do simple solos now?

[JDA]

They are not conforming to anything they are just trying new music.  Who cares?  You should try all music don't stay with one style.  It get boring otherwise.

[Here Today...]

just wait till the album comes out, and listen to it, then judge it whether you like it or not.  how can you like or hate something that you never heard.  you dont know whats it going to sound like.

I'd like to see someone else play the solo's to Headspace and Dirty Little Thing with as much speed AND style.

[da_pope]

Funk > Epic Masterpieces.

OOoo an album of 20 Epics... Sounds... Boring?

[BLS-Pride]

Empty room. Booze and shit all around some lady fans and thats the way VR should write and record a fucking album. Low down and dirty rock n roll is what Slash needs to play again.
