Slash "Looking Forward" to Chinese Democracy

[oldgunsfan]

Nice to hear he's not holding a grudge with Axl for continuing and even moreso that he actually wants to hear the new album.

He's wanted to hear it since the end of 2005
I listened to an interview then and he was looking forward to hear it; this is the interview where he "heard" it was due out in 3/2006 but we all know how that turned out

[Eazy E]

after hearing VRs latest effort, Im salivating over CD even more too...yikesssssssssss

I could honestly wait another 3 years.  I may honestly wait another 3 years.

I think that they may not like each other personally, but they respect each other's creative abilities.  No matter what else Axl has said about Slash personally, he has never, ever disrespected his playing ability.  Never.  The converse is true with Slash's feelings regarding Axl's abilities.

Example?

[The Catcher]

hahahahahahaha

lay off the booze you fucking wash-up

[Voodoochild]

Interesting timing by Slash. I wonder why would he talk about this just when he's about to release an album...

Wonder if Slash will put on Chinese Demoracy, Maybe load them into Pro Tools, Delete the guitar solos and do his own!

WOWWWWWWWWWWW

WOW! I couldn't wait to listen to uninspired solos with all the same again.

When he was suing Axl your likes attacked him for doing the legal actions for promotion and to sell more records. Now when he's saying nice things about Axl for the zillionth time in the past years, you're repeating the same bullshit. Like any Axlite would buy Libertad.  They download it, you know, since they don't give money to the 'bad boys'.

[Voodoochild]

Wow, if I say something bad about Slash, that makes me "Axlite". And I barely post here... Funny.

The thing is: he said he wouldn't talk about GNR anymore. Well, he did just in time.

He don't usually say anything really bad about Axl, that's not the point. The thing is that he has a new album coming out next week and when you read the article, you see how he could make headlines talking about this subject, but EVERY site will reproduce his quote by saying also that Libertad is coming out soon.

Can't you deal with criticism without being so defensive?

Example?

Axl from 2002: "Had Slash stepped up and written what we captured glimpses of, it would have created an environment that was beyond Slash?s ability to control. He did not want to do that or put himself through the rigors of taking the band to that level even if he was capable of writing it. Was he capable of doing it? Absolutely 100%. I think that some of the riffs that were coming out of him were the meanest, most contemporary, bluesiest, rocking thing since Aerosmith?s Rocks. The 2000 version of Aerosmith Rocks or the 1996 Aerosmith Rocks by the time we would have put it out. "

Axl from late 1999: "I wanted the world to love and respect him. "

Axl from January 2006: "I love the guy, I always wanted everyone to know how great he was."

Satisfied?

WOWWWWWWWWWWW

Hell, leave the solo's, let's see what the others come up with.

Now if he could just delete the keys and synth..

[Booker Floyd]

Have you made it through Libertad yet?

Very close, quite a departure from Contraband.

I don't see why the world would be waiting for CD so badly that Slash needs to mention it to get media and consumer attention. Sometimes he answers the GN'R-related questions sometimes he doesn't. Depends on his mood. You know, he's a human being. I don't see the huge 'how to sell more VR records' conspiracy here.

Satisfied? Not really, I was looking for an example of Slash trashing Axl's abilities.  I knew that Axl had always praised Slash's talents but maybe not his work ethic.

Well, I haven't seen any of those situations.  Like I said, they may not like each other, but they have tremendous respect for each other's abilities.

My ass that he doesn't know the new songs. I bet he downloaded them just like all of us.

BTW, where did you find Axl's quote from 2006?  Just curious.

The note is out there and many webpages are reproducing it (in other languages too). All of them mentioned Libertad. Do the math.

[Jim Bob]

its surprising he is looking forward to it since everything we've heard thats gonna be on Chinese Democracy blows VR's mediocre material out of the water.

It was from the Korn party in January he went to.
