some of that is pretty good. I don't think its anything great. Slash is good, but there are much better guitarists out there.
Slash's biggest problem: Scott Weiland. He would be so much better if he had a kickass rock n roll frontman on stage with him. Scott is ok at his thing, but him and slash together is just not doin it for me.

i couldn't have put it better myself. i love both musicians but i dont think they were the best fit. Scott fit much better with the DeLeo brothers in my opinion.
great solo tho.

Jarmo, that was a classic Slash moment, thanks for bringing that back up.
Jim Bob, I agree to a point that Slash needs a real hard rock singer, but, my point was to say his current playing seems to be a little tighter than it was on the last tour.
Scott's new songs do seem to favor his voice/range a little better. I think he is trying more on this record to be himself.

Funny you say that, because the reason I like Slash is and has never been because of how good he supposedly is when put up against other guitarists.
But when it comes to style, tone and technique and the sound he creates, not many can touch him.
He manages to sound sloppy and tight at the same time if that makes any sense. A pure rock n' roll sound.
And Slash has a sound and style that is unmistakably him.
Can't say that about too many other guitar players.

100% agree with the poster above.
Theres tons of guys out there who can play faster than slash or more technically than slash....but slash has unique tone, can get such an emotive blues vibe, has a distinctive attack to his playing, and as you said that rock slopyness yhat really works for him so damn well.....
Anyway...is good to see Slash "is back", mind you I dont think he really went anywhere I think its just that he'd been playing a style of music recently that doesn't show off his skills quite as much. When i saw VR a few times in concert I was struck by how much more slash kickass playing there seemed to be live than on the record...still not as much as in GNR...but I think part of the problem is that contraband is mixed in too much of a grungy way.
Anyway...i'm hopeful from what we've seen that libertad will feature some classic slash playing in the style of AFD, UYI and 5 O'clock somewhere....

Actually there are quite a few guitarists out there who have their own distinct and unique sound. Slash is just one of them. He has his moments for sure.

Jim bob I think u are just a slash hater.
Moving your fingers fast isnt what makes a great solo
Slash is one of the few guitarists that can make a guitar solo stand out as much as vocals. When Slash plays a solo u remember it and can sing a long to it.
That is much much harder than someone like BUcket or bumble who just play a hundred notes of jibberish.

No, I'm not. He's just not that high on my list of fav guitarists. Not everyone worships slash, get used to it. I said he is good.

I agree with metallex, monkeychow and D. One note played by Slash blows away other guitarists' whole career. There are more technical players, but the biggest guitarists, like Hndrix or Page weren't very technical. It's more about emotions and great ideas. Slash is way above the level needed for a great guitarist technically, and he has the X-factors others don't have and never will.
BTW it's strange that some people hate Slash so much on a GN'R site. Are you not a fan of his playing? Then what the hell you do when you're listening GN'R albums?

Man, I love his STB solo. So messy and spontaneous.
Btw, has everyone seen this
Mr. Brownstone
performance from the Quilmes Rock show? Listen to Slash during the verses - not to mention the kickass outro. Fucking awesome. Best I've heard this song sound in a long time.

oh my god
I NEVER SAID I HATED HIM
. I like slash. He is among my favorite guitarists, just not up at the top.
Musical appreciation is a
subjective
thing and varies from person to person.
what is more amusing is some of the asslicking. "one note played by Slash blows away other guitarists' whole career"? Are you fucking kidding me?
To some of you, if someone doesn't rate Slash as their favoritest most super duper greatest guitarist ever means you hate him? Talk about blind love!
Yes, Slash is great, he did some amazing stuff in guns and he's still very good. But he is by no means my favorite, or even in my top 5. Does this mean I hate slash?
that is all, i think i've posted enough for this topic and i'd rather not get into this dumb shit with a few silly slash fans who put him up on some altar like hes a god.

When did he lose them?
He sure seems to have them during this Rock Am Ring 2005
performance of "Set Me Free."
The "Hey Joe" video Jarmo posted was from later that year. And theres plenty of other examples between 2003 and now. I think this is a case of confusing a return from a fairly lengthy absence with a return to form.

It's cool JB, I can see your point man.
I ain't a blind Slash lover, I like lots of different bands and guitarists, but he definitely gets allot of props from me that's for sure!

i like a good mix. slash is a good player, he has epic solos, whilst not super speedy are very powerful and full of emotion.
However, i do love a good fast shredding solo too, all i have to do, is go get antoher CD, ozzy osbourne no more tears for example put that in and listen to that, when i want slash solos ill put a CD featuring him on.
Its as simple as that really isnt it people.
