Slash/Matt/Duff Perform Paradise City w/ Chester Bennington

[Naupis]

Credit goes to Smoking Guns for finding the youtube link. I wanted this to have it's own separate post so more people see it, as it was mighty nice to see the top-hatted one tear through that like he hasn't missed a beat in 20 years.

never should this ever happen again. Doing that song with the guy from linkin park is something they should never ever have done. Its just wrong....

It's obviously not as good as Axl's vocals on it, but the song sounds great musically. They were out there having fun, why should they never be able to play it again. I think it is a nice treat to see them play something old school like that we don't see them do often.

They can play it as long as its not with people like chester bennington. At least pick a rocker to do it with not some newmetal assclown.

that was sick! He's got the tune down just not such a powerful voice. if onl he'dditch Linkin Park and form a good band (although they promise straight forward rock for their next album, produced by rick rubin).

The whole lotta love vid is even better with joe satriani

[Grouse]

  Damn that gave me goosebumps, this sounds so much more like guns musically speaking ofcourse, I really don't like linkin park but I have to say chester nailed the song?

[mrlee]

i tihkn chester sang that really great. it doesnt matter what bands he from, you cant knock his singing on that song. However he was boring he didnt really do much.

Never thought id see that happen.

[SADIS]

I think he's does a pretty decent job. I like his melodic sounding voice.

Music wise it beats the crap out of the New Guns........

Well, Slash and Duff were pretty involved in writing it, so one would think they might play a decent sounding version.

Come on dude ... open your ears.  Chester is a great vocalist.  He's no Axl Rose, but he's fucking good at what he does!  Sounded great in my opinion.  Was good to hear the old guys playing it too ...

Let's not continue this line of discussion, plenty of comparison threads looming in the Dead Horse section.

thanks for posting!

I wonder if they miss playing the old songs..or if they still know all of them

[CheapJon]

I wonder if they still know all of them

yeah they prolly still know the songs, if they know how to play them? not so sure

Thats your opinion, mine is he sucks. I'm entitled to it as you are your's.

If New GNR can play the original band's music, then Slash and Duff can perform with whoever.

Chester is a good frontman, His vocals get annoying at times, but Linkin Park are a pretty damn good band regardless of what people say.


I havent watched this yet, Im getting ready to.

I cant wait to see Slash play this.

[D]

HOLY SHIT THIS GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS.

I cant imagine what it would be like to see the Original GNR....................... that would be an experience that one could not put into words.

Slash at the end....................... Priceless. 

[Jim Bob]

a pretty weak performance if you ask me.

[Karma_Police]

Why do you ^^ even post in here dude? We all know you love the new band and get overly upset every time someone says anything that sugests the old band being better than the new guys(especially Finck) so why come in here and try and do what you're doing?  the golden rule dude. You don't like it when it's done to the new band so don't do it to the old band. Especially if you knew what you were going to post before you even watched it.   Unless you were just talking about Chester's performance than I apologies.

Anyways Chester did a great job I think. He sounded better than Baz when he covered for Axl.  I love watching these guys play the old material. They did it with half the musicians and it sounded justa s good. How anyone could knock this is beyond me. Nice video. Thanks for posting.
