Slash To Mentor American Idol Rock Week

[faldor]

Of course Slash enjoys the limelight. He wouldnt love going out on stage everynight if he didnt. The same as every other performer enjoys the limelight.

Of course every performer enjoys the limelight.  Not all of them are lining up to appear on American Idol though.

[Dayle1066]

That wasnt my point. I was just saying that saying Slash enjoys the limelight is a bit redundant in this discussion

[gnrrock]

Say it isn't so!

They asked him to appear, not t'other way round.

I am sorry to say this, because I really do appreciate Slash's past work...but after watching the 'schools out' video, I can only compare it to going to a strip joint and being surprised to find whores taking off their clothes.  Forgive me for this...but I wish Slash would get back on whatever chemical made him into the dirty, greasy, raw guitar player that 'sang' with his guitar on AFD thru UYI, etc.  I imagine him spitting JD in the face of anyone who asked him to do something so 'commercial', for lack of a better word, in the old days.  I am afraid he has bought into the whole 'guitar hero' character.

Whore, whore, whore...but yes, I would be right there with him cashing that check.

So?  I never claimed he begged and pleaded to be on American Idol.  He could've said no, couldn't he?  I'm sure there have been plenty of people to turn down the almighty American Idol over the years.

I don't think anyone's denying that.  I just wish he would tone it down at times, in relation to public appearances and whatnot.  Which is weird because at the same time I wish Axl would pump it up a bit.  There's gotta be a happy medium somewhere.

fucking lame....plain and simple.........JUMPED THE SHARK!!!

'American Idol' Runner-Up Adam Lambert 'Thrilled' About The Future

May 22, 2009

Lambert made no mention of a possible collaboration with Perry, but he did suggest a dream pairing with another high-profile artist. "I'd really love to work with Slash," he said of the former Guns 'N' Roses frontman, who was a celebrity mentor on "American Idol" during Rock Week. "When we did the mentor shoot at the Roxy, I felt so at home with him onstage; I was just like, 'This guy is so rad.' "

I never realized there were so many rampant homosexual rumors about this Adam kid until they recently started talking about it on Stern.  What's up with that?  Not, that there's anything wrong with that!  Howard Stern actually voted for Adam to win and felt, like many, that he was clearly the better contestant.  But he felt his "tendencies" caused him the vote.

[Doc Emmett Brown]

"Of the rumor that he is gay and that homophobia may have played a role in his loss, Lambert would only respond, "Probably," then laugh and move on. "There's no need to dwell on the negative. I'm just thrilled that I get to move forward and have a career in the music industry."


I think his response takes it past the rumor stage but the media still loves a good is he or isn't he gossip item.

I watched a few of his performances on youtube, and while I liked him on the slower songs like Mad World, I wasn't exactly thrilled with his rendition of Satisfaction, and Born to be Wild. 

In any case I would have at least a passing interest should he and Slash collaborate on a few tunes.

I'd continue my stance on despising anything American Idol related so I'd look forward to that about as much as I did for the song he did with Daughtry.  Which was ZERO.  Sorry, that's just me.

Adam is gay. On the internet there are several pictures of him kissing other dudes, tongue and all. I'm glad he didn't win AI, even though he's a million times more talented than that other guy. Now Adam can do more of his own thing. A collaboration with Slash would be awesome.

I think there may be a subtle difference.  With Daughtry, the label asked him to put a solo on his first single; with lambert, it sounds like he'd like to collaborate on the writing and arrangement with Slash, not just put a solo on it.  Like I Said, subtle difference.

quick question, how can you despise anything about someone as hot as carrie underwood?   

[faldor]

Okay, you got me there.  So there may be a few exceptions.  I'll also admit I actually don't mind a couple Kelly Clarkson songs.  But aside from her and Carrie, the rest I could care less about.  And to be fair, I really haven't heard Adam sing all that much.  I've heard all the praise.  I guess it's possible a collaboration with Slash could win me over.  But looking forward to it?  NO!

[Smoking Guns]

Bring it on!  Lambert has the pipes for brilliant hard rock/metal, if he can write worth a shit, it would be awesome!
