You're welcome.
HA, I sent you a pm! I love Axl's voice... a couple places he almost seems to be singing in his "smartass rant voice". I am listeing again to see if I can hear Bach, cause I missed him the first go around....
Ugh, the fucking Solo.... Was just waiting for Slash.. I could scream... Not many can rival the emotive melodic solo like Slash, Bucket, just shred so I don't have to compare... hahahaha, its decent, but I could have pulled that off..

The song is awesome! I loved the production except for the guitar. I don't think the guitar cut through the way it should. The solo is "good", and the wah helps add some emotion. But the guitar doesn't rival the vocals and passion in Axl's voice. The song already is one of my favorites I have heard, but if its about Slash, its Ironic, cause this song was made for an epic Slash solo. No doubt. Actually some of the lyrics are chilling and seem very, very personal. I agree, Girlfriends, Media, Slash...

I think its about Slash but there is a lot of general stuff also.
Those sound like pretty stupid lyrics.... They must sound better when I hear him sing them..... I thought he would take the highroad, guess not.
it is a GREAT song with a kickass blues Buckethead solo. You will LOVE it and the lyrics are killer.:buckethead:
I cannot wait! Throw me a bone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me hear it!

I would like to know more about this tune. Lofton? Neemo? Monkeychow? BLS?
Was it a situation where you think a bridge may be burned?
#8926 Re: Guns N' Roses » My guitar complaint *spoilers included* » 878 weeks ago
Okay, the fills on Chinese Democracy is a blantant attempt to emulate Slash's fills on Welcome to the Jungle. Aslo the the Delay on the intro.... VERY FUCKING SIMILAR to the delay at the beginning of Welcome to the Jungle..... There are certain GNR guitar trademarks, and they are on the new album.

Valid points have been raised though. People have said for years that all he does is shred, and now its turning into 'he's trying to copy Slash'. I had no idea that Slash was 'a freak that shreds with no emotion'. Guess I need to go buy those old GNR albums again.
This is what I was trying to get at. Everyone knows I love Bucket and prefer him in this era. I don't think he plays everything "perfectly", but he DOES play everything. My point is, now we're complaining about him being in the Slash vein whereas the past it was all about him just being a shredder. So, which is it?
Here is what it should be. It should be Bucket being the featured player period. Finck and Bumble do nothing for me when they solo. Its Finck that at times too tries to play in the Slash vein, but it comes off contrived, but I do enjoy his "blues" solo. So in the end, GNR's two greatest guitar players are not in the band that is releasing the album.
#8928 Re: Guns N' Roses » My guitar complaint *spoilers included* » 878 weeks ago
Smoking Guns, GNR is no longer a blues-based hard rock band. How could anyone expect them to be? When there are new chefs in the kitchen, the ingredients are bound to change. While I agree that there are occasions in the new tunes that may attempt to replicate Slash's style (whether they were explicitly directed by Axl to attempt to capture "that" sound, or they elected to do so of their own volition is unclear), for the most part, the tones and effects being used on most of the songs seem to identify which guitarist is playing. That, in and of itself, is a pretty major feat when you consider who they are replacing. Most of us can already discuss Finck's "sound", Bucket's "sound", Bumble's "sound", etc....Whether or not one enjoys what they are hearing is another debate altogether.
Yes, I agree with you there all the way. Just saying, there are moments where the songs call for a certain type of sound it seems, and these guys really have limited experience in going for that sounds. Bumble can probably play the most challenging music ever written on the guitar, however, his feel on "his" solos in GNR is bad. He has a bad feel. However, he is a monster player when playing covers, when its "his" work, it doesn't sound right. Finck seems to try to play the "Slash" role the most. He has some "tasty" solos, and also some really average ones. Bucket, the most original of the new group is my favorite, but even he a lot of times doesn't fit for the direction the song is going.

Ironic. A 15 year old tune sounding incomplete. Axl truly can't do anything as it's supposed to. Always out there, challenging the norm.
Well...there are 13 other solos, so what the heck.
Yeah but This I Love is MY song. Ive wanted tohear this for 15 years and it is one of the best GNR songs ever
Seriously
that isn't hyperbole, that isn't being a prisoner of the moment. I honestly think its the best ballad on the album and vocally it pisses all over anything Axl has done.
The guitar solo though??????????????????
Horrible
one of the worst solos I have ever heard in my life and it truly fucks up an all time classic.
U look at November Rain which this song COULDVE surpassed with the proper guitar
without the guitar solos, that song wouldn't be half as good as it is.
This I Love screams......... absolutely screams for guitar melodies and a heartcrushing solo.
I get to the climax, the solo comes in and I yell the word "FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK' at that part cause this song deserves an amazing solo.
This fucking breaks my heart to read. GNR was always famous for their signature guitar lines. Now GNR sounds less and less like a guitar band, but a bunch of guys that didn't play like themselves trying to capture a vibe of something they are not. There are many moments in the leaks that sound like Finck or Bucket are "trying" to give a Slash vibe, but then they just vommit on themselves. Less is more usually. The fills in CD sound very Slashy. Bucket and Finck come off as contrived mainly because they are not "HARD ROCK/BLUES ROCK" players. It would be almost as bad as putting Chet Atkins in GNR. GNR isn't country either.

I enjoyed both videos! The snare sounded like shit on the drum kit. Loved hearing so fine!
