Woo, Slash now has a signature version of the AmpliTube app:

2. Keep the new band and the circus vibe...but give Axl his 2006 rasp and look...you'd still get a ton of WTF cos of Robin and Bucket ll....but then if Axl hit those 2006 RAR style screams and rasp...you'd feel confident Axl's back...
This. And if they'd come out of the gate swinging with some new songs that showcased Bucket and Finck's talents, it would've helped.
Like, opening with Chinese Democracy and then plunging into There Was A Time, or something.

Yeah, I'm a bit wary of including Jordan, Soothsayer and other twiddly heavy stuff, simply because this guy's tastes incline more towards the noodly Floyd/Frusciante end of the spectrum.
Plus the album version of Soothsayer is a bit weak compared to all the live versions out there. Might swap out Padmasana for Mrs Beasley though, and add a couple of shorter tunes to fill out the extra time that buys.

Ditch Myles, hire her. Now.

Went to this gig. I know I'm not the biggest fan of Myles, but he put on a damn good show.

all you guys should shut the fuck up....a cool Gnr moment ruined by petty fuckin' arguments....Tommy playin on the streets of London. Rock and Roll motherfuckers....him and Izzy are long lost brothers.
Fuck, wish I'd seen that. Who's the guy with him?

So, I want to train my mate in the ways of Buckethead by making him a CD sampler. He's a big fan of Pink Floyd and John Frusciante's solo albums, so I'm trying to cleave to his tastes; not too much of the metal stuff, some mellow, some kooky Buckethead tracks but nothing too weird (no Day of the Robot/Funnel Weaver stuff, for example). I want to get a few tracks with vocals on there, too, so it's not an hour of instrumental noodling. 80 minutes is the limit 'cause it's going on CD. And I want to give it something of the flow of a proper album.
Here's what I've come up with so far - any suggestions for substitutions?
King James - it's a killer album opener
The Ballad of Buckethead - well, you've got to have that in there
Big Sur Moon
Sorry - Bucket's Floyd-iest solo on Chinese Democracy
Hog Bitch Stomp - just to break things up a bit
I Love My Parents - the version from Giant Robot with the lovely strings
Waiting Hare
Padmasana
Nottingham Lace
Star Chasing
I Like It Raw
Too Many Humans - Bucket's Floyd-iest thing EVER.
There Was A Time
The Homing Beacon
Clocks in at 74 minutes. Thoughts, people?

GNR fell apart when Izzy left. First musically, then literally.
Hell, he might have been the most important member of GNR--taken as a whole. He was the lynch pin. The glue.
How come there was not outcry when he played with VR. Where was the outrage?
The fact is, Izzy is the single most independent of all the past members. He moved on first with Ju Ju Hounds then solo without relying on his ties to GNR nearly as much as everyone else.
This.
All Truth.
What he said. It's no coincidence that the best song - musically, at least - on Slash's album is the one with Izzy playing rhythm.

Sky Dog wrote:Also, going forward, it is good that the band knows how to play the song. If Izzy isn't around, have Tommy sing it instead of Motivation. I like Motivation but it seems a little out of place at a Gnr show. Tommy would do 14 Years justice seeing as he has the right voice for it, plus, he just happens to be on his 14th year in the band.
Plus Tommy probably wouldn't completely fuck up the lyrics to the second verse.....
The second verse was fucked up because the sound guy turned down Izzy's mic by accident.

I thought Axl's voice sounded fine from the back of the arena. Think it might be shitty camera mics that are contributing to the complaints.
Also: I SAW 14 YEARS LIVE.
