Another questionable Slash jam.....

[TheMole]

this is the song he played on...

I was actually looking around on youtube trying to find a Finck collaboration of any kind to use as a rebuttal to your arguably intelligent input, but I couldn't find any whatsoever... I wonder why no-one ever asks Finck to jam on a song with them... I guess he gets asked all the time but always refuses because of artistic integrity, right?

Ow, on an unrelated note, I did stumble on this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0snm8Jj5OUQ

They have taken part in several events over the years which are similar.

Everything from the Susan Holmes Fashion Show to playing at Hard Rock Cafe in NYC.


They're very good at promoting themselves that way.

Maybe I should rephrase that to say "when they do such things they are mocked"....

isn't there a video out there of Marilyn Manson sucking Robin off onstage?

EDIT: Actually I know there is because I have seen it...

what does Robin Finck have to do with this thread.   

back on topic.  Slash and the Black Eyed Pees.

Well, I find their talk of "dangerous rock n' roll" a few years ago and all the promotion a bit amusing.

If you're calling yourself dangerous but doing basically everything most popular bands do, aren't you pretty mainstream then?

Aerosmith doesn't go around talking about being dangerous do they?


That's just me.

whats finck have to do with this?   did you watch the video?   Can't you just picture Slash boppin around on stage to that song?     watch the whole clip now.

I seriously hope he was in this cuz he was porking that girlie in the band or something.   

He's been doing some pretty embarassing gigs as of late.  Nothing new, but it seems to have gotten worse.    I still remember the way it made me cringe the first time I saw him playing with Micheal Jackson. 

[tomass74]

The show was a "benefit concert for their Peapod Foundation, which helps underprivileged children around the world"...  How can you knock that?  And I did see pics and Slash looked cool.

Black Eyed Peas do suck so I can't really defend Slash on that one but at least it was for a good cause...........




My problem with GNR though is, Before 2002 there was such a mystique and curiosity and it was almost like a tall tale legend.

I feel Axl playing at birthday parties and this and that kind of ruins that toturted, recluse great legend of an image he had before 2002.

The more he does typical rock star things like party in clubs, play at celebrities birthday parties, fights with Tommy Hilfiger, it just kind of makes the 10 year legend he built up go to waste cause it puts a cloud over the mystique and intrigue abd turns him into a caricature and a paris hilton type celebrity instead of one of the greatest frontmen ever.


Slash has always done goofy shit like this so i can overlook it more i guess which doesnt make it right but that is just how i see it.




To my last post.

I am not saying that I am a better guitarist than Robin Finck its just people put way too much significance on certain things.? Chords are chords, riffs are riffs, solos are solos and I am unsigned but STILL have written exactly the same amount of hit songs that he has............ ZERO!

i found him highly laughable in his, as you put "mysterious" era. Im glad hes actually out there doing something again, instead of looking like an idiot with hip hop clothes not doing anything at all, wasting his talent and voice away.

Yeah but he is this mythical figure, almost a tall tale and had he came back in 2002 in shape, lookin cool, release an amazing album and kicks ass at MTV 2002, he is the big gest star on the planet right  now.


He has the perfect opportunity to make one of the most amazing comebacks in music history and now all that is gone.


He will still make a great comeback with CD but everything was set up so perfectly.

[Krispy Kreme]

I think everyone takes all of this too seriously. Let Slash play where he wants and  to do what he wants. He's a rock icon, he has the right and has earned it. And if he plays benefits for good causes, then good for him. There should be MORE rockers ready to "sacrifice" their  reputations to raise money for good causes.

[Falcon]

Enough of the Axl/Finck/GNR talk, wrong forum.

Back on topic please.

[TheMole]

Allright, step by step...

whats finck have to do with this?   

Nothing, it was just a feeble attempt of me at an analogy. You see, I thought if I showed you something a guitarist you like did that I find embarrassing, I might be able to convince you that the emoticon overload inducing reply you posted earlier in this thread might not have been the right thing to post.

did you watch the video?

I actually know the song, it's been quite the hit here in Belgium. It was on the radio quite a lot and never felt the need to turn it off. I like the song more than here solo endeavors, that's for sure!

Can't you just picture Slash boppin around on stage to that song?     watch the whole clip now.

No I can't, so I'd love to see footage of him doing so, I'm quite curious now...

I seriously hope he was in this cuz he was porking that girlie in the band or something.   

Even though I don't like the song (and if I can read between the lines, neither do you, right?), I couldn't care less.
You see, there's another Finck analogy I would like to share: I hate NIN, I truly do. I think they're the worst thing that has ever happened to rock music. There's really no words to express how much I dislike them. Yet, on the other hand, I like what Finck does in GNR (well, his songwriting skills anyway), so I'm willing to judge him on that. In a similar vain, Slash can do what the fuck he wants, as long as he kicks ass in VR; which, as far as I'm concerned, he does.

I still remember the way it made me cringe the first time I saw him playing with Micheal Jackson. 

I agree with you there, but thats 'cause I don't believe MJ was innocent and is totally different story. You don't associate with child molesters in my book. So all I can do is hope Slash does believe in his innocence, which I'm sure is the case.

So you see, what might look like random robin bashing is actually nothing more than a way to try and make you see my point more clearly. And hence, it is also very much on topic.

Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask...

[Locomotive98]

So people are now mocking Slash for doing a charity thing (albeit with The Black Eyed Peas)? Wow, nice one, you people are class. Do you tease people in wheelchairs as well?

Sure, the Peas are the absolute depths of the musical barrel but knocking someone for doing something for a good cause is quite amazing.

Slash can play with who he wants and do what he wants, his legacy and VR are enough to cement that. Its could to see a musician with the ability to get things done.

Some bands cant even get it together to release a commercial.

whats finck have to do with this?? ?did you watch the video?? ?Can't you just picture Slash boppin around on stage to that song?? ? ?watch the whole clip now.

I seriously hope he was in this cuz he was porking that girlie in the band or something.? ?

He's been doing some pretty embarassing gigs as of late.? Nothing new, but it seems to have gotten worse.? ? I still remember the way it made me cringe the first time I saw him playing with Micheal Jackson.?

One of his best collaberations ever, so really don't know what you're on about....

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Slash doesn't seem to care about his "legacy" or what people will think if he is "playing with this guy or that band"  on a one-off basis. And that is the way it should be. If he did not want to do it, he wouldn't.

[Ganja4Life]

 I think "  Give In To Me" is an awesome song..the only michael Jackson song I can say i like power to slash for playin for a good cause ...even though it's with the pea's lol my sister likes them  haha theyre no good

[oldgunsfan]

I think the fact that Slash had 3 solo's voted in the top 20 of all time in rock n roll pretty much cements his legacy; not like he thought he'd have one when he 1st joined GnR 22 yrs ago

The fact that so many diverse artists want Slash to play on their songs say's quite a bit about the guy's appeal to diverse musical artists

I love Slash...He plays with alot of people. He enjoys it what gives.

  I do want to say that the Black Eyed Peas  suck so fuckin' bad. I can't believe it. I saw footage of them here in Brazil and I thought Oh my god what a pile of shit...but I went on and thought could of been a bad gig. Then I saw them on Live 8 they were worse. Fuck em, I got no time for that shit.

 I wnated to open a thread in Bad Obession about that Disgrace of a song Fergelicious WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? worse part is it'll go #1 if it didn't already with all the rest of that shit on the Charts. 

[mikegiuliana]

I see no big deal , he's already proved himself a million times over and it's not like he's still in guns n roses .. That would be like paul mcartney doing something different would it hurt the beatle's legend,.. It usually sucks when people change their style using the band's name..
