Ever wonder what Axl could've done with Slash's VR riffs......

[COMAMOTIVE]

Have you ever listened to a particular Velvet Revolver song or solo and think " Damn! That shit would've sounded bad-ass with Axl's voice " ? Or great Riff,
I wonder what Axl would've done with it? Whenever I hear Slither ( Which I love ) I can't help but think about how the riff/song would've evolved with Axl's influence as opposed to Weilands?   I can't be the only one who does this shit.............someone ..........please.........

[Krispy Kreme]

Not only VR, but Ain't Life Grand and 5 O'clock somewhere. There is some really good shit there that Axl could have made classic.

I think Axl would have done a Snakepit and rejected them all!

Didn't axl try and change his mind on that once it was a little too late? Same with some of Gilby's songs?

His mistake. Those songs rocked.

[COMAMOTIVE]

Snakepit was dissapointing to me. I like Lower and Neither can I, but the rest is weak. I don't blame him for not wanting to make that the next GNR album.

it's a shame fans buy into groundless rumours like this. everything slash has made since UYI has been well below gnr standards, axl is better off without him. listen to TWAT and madagascar and better and you'll see what i'm talking about. i think slash could have made some good shit with axl again if they could only work together, slash needed axl to drive that shit outta him, but like axl said "he didn't wanna work that hard". nuff said.

[chinese69illusions]

Yeh. I think he would have said umm yeh and put them under the tires of his car and run over them. Just like he did to someone else.

same here. i thought VR was awesome at first, but the more i listened to it i realised that this would be an excellent album for some fresh new faces to the music scene, but from a group of seasoned musicians with over 20 years experience in writing music its pretty generic, almost "phoned in".

[McDuff]

Well Slash has made some cool music since he left GN'R and sure all of his stuff would have sounded cool with Axl on them,but no one can change the past,and Slash is better off without Axl

[bookiedude]

I've never wondered.

   He asked slash to work on the songs and slash refused. Axl later asked about them thinking slash worked them up and slash said they were used for snake pit

Here is another thing. The more you listen to the new gnr songs they better they get, the more you hear the VR songs the more mediocre you realize they are.

vr was always embarrasing.
and the fact that axl even gave slash's shitty material a chance, proves once and for all the team-player axl is, contrary to common belief.

At least Slash has released something. Axl hasn't released anything, except one weak song on a soundtrack. And your saying Slash is the one who needs Axl! No Way!

Axl did play five other songs live of which only two were any good, Madagascar and The Blues. Madagascar is a very good song and would have been one of the strongest songs on Contraband, but the Blues is weaker than all the ballads on Contraband. The three other songs probably wouldn't have made any of Slash's albums since GnR.

Of the leaks, Better and Cactcher In The Rye are both very good, but You Got No Right and Slither are better than anything Axl has released so far.

Of course, nothing Slash has done compares to old GnR, but until the new GnR release an album, nothing Axl does without Slash will compare to old GnR either.

Incidentally, I find it hypocritical that in a rolling stone interview in 2000, Axl said he orginally wanted to release a traditional rock album, but Slash stopped him. Yet later Slash said Axl was the one who rejected the Snakepit album, which was a traditional rock album. And it's not because of the quality, because Axl later wanted it back. Just one of the many contradictions of Axl's views.

Wha? If you had said Dirty Little Thing maybe, but Set Me Free? Nothing like it's so easy
