Slash & Fergie Perform ?Beautiful Dangerous" Live; Video

[FunkyMonkey]

In Chicago with the Black Eyed Peas...

Black Eyed Peas engaging together, not so much in solo turns

March 14, 2010

Fergie shone the brightest during her solo turns, belting out three songs from her 2006 album, ?The Dutchess,? including a bouncy rendition of ?Fergalicious.? She also starred in the biggest surprise of the show, rising up through a trap door alongside special guest Slash, who delivered an intricate and propulsive guitar solo as Fergie sang the lyrics to ?Sweet Child O? Mine,? a classic from Slash?s days in Guns N? Roses.

This rock ?n? roll interlude was extended one song too long when Fergie and Slash performed ?Beautiful Dangerous,? a track from Slash?s forthcoming solo album. The tune wasn?t anything special, but as history has shown, Slash?s playing is consistently engaging, even when the material is weak.

?Beautiful Dangerous"

dunno 'bout that clip, i'll wait for the studio version 'fore i say anything

[chineseblues]

Judging from this performance alone I don't know how anyone can say this song is great. Eddie Trunk must have been on crack when he heard it. 

[Judas Fuckin Priest]

Despite of the bad audio I liked the song, it is not a "great"song but it has a very catchy tune and chorus. Slash's solos at the end was cool as well.

[Falcon]

So far not so good with the Stockdale and Fergie songs for me, will give Fergie another listen when the studio version surfaces though..

[Smoking Guns]

Not bad, hard to hear everything going on.... Fergie is sooo hot!

[faldor]

That was pretty awful.  I'm sure the studio version will be MUCH better than that though.  Fergie looks good.  That was by far the best part of the video.

[Smoking Guns]

It hurts when a poor version of the song is released first... Leaves a bad taste in your mouth... 

[WTTJ_91]

Anyone else waiting to hear Myles rip through this one! 

Chorus is very strong , but the verses sound off. Without a pro-recording I'm not dismissing the song but I if Trunk said this is the strongest one.....he HAS to be wrong.

[Smoking Guns]

Yes, I like By the Sword more than this one, bad audio or not.  Slash seemed to rip it pretty good on the solo though!

[gnrjanus]

I don't don't like it.. but it's something differend.
fergie looked hot

[Smoking Guns]

Already growing on me.  Fergie sounds killer!

[Bodhi]

I liked it a lot.  2 for 2 so far, and I'm not even big on Fergie or Stockdale, but I like their contributions to the album so far.  Very catchy chorus.  Don't really know why some people wouldnt like it, other than the obvious because it's Slash and in order to be a GNR fan you have to hate him apparently.  His playing is great as always, I'm happy with the record thus far.  That "Paradise City" with Cypress Hill sucked though, Im happy hes not putting that on the album.  Thats a cool fun bside thing to do, def not album worthy.

Nothing based on the above for me, just didn't care for the Stockdale tune and can't really get a good feel for the Fergie track live.

Most interested in the Astbury, Lemmy and Iggy tunes..

[1987]

the audio isnt that good... but i really liked it.. liked it much better than the stockdale tune..  really lookin forward to hearing the studio version.

In all fairness.  I don't know how anybody could like that.  And I'm not a Fergie basher either.  I just thought that particular performance was awful.  Her voice wasn't nearly as strong as it needed to be to match the music.

Again, I'm sure the studio track will be MUCH better and I'm looking forward to hearing that.  But this is one video that I'll file in the "never watch again" category.

And in fairness, I don't believe you can judge anything off of a shitty youtube clip.  That's why I'm not ready to trash this song altogether.  But this, this didn't do anything for me.

It's not that bad.

And the reviewer was at the show and he didn't seem to like the song.

Here's another "Beautiful Dangerous"...

I did think the chorus was catchy but the rest didn't follow...but I'll wait to hear the studio version.

[Smoking Guns]

Funky, that Sweet Child solo at the beginning of the clip was badass!!!

[Genesis]

Other than the chorus and outro which sound good, I can't make anything of it. While I don't think this will be one of the 'stronger' songs on the album, I have a feeling it will be quite popular.

oh yeah her performance wasnt good, but the song was.  What ive heard of the studio song is very good.
