Wow, just wow. "He didn't have the wah...to cover up any bad notes, like Finck does." The original fucking version has wah on it. So I guess you really can't say Finck is just using the way to cover up bad notes. He's just earning his paycheck in a touring band covering a song the way it was originally recorded. Further more, you can't really say anything about Slash not using the wah blah blah blah, because the man has his own signature wah. Also, "he didn't want to go through the trouble of hooking up his wah for a song or two"? Have you ever hooked up a wah? All it entails is using one extra cable and putting it inline between the guitar and the amp. Not exactly tedious labor.
Please, do not try to make what you think are valid points, when you know nothing about your own points.
Karma. I didn't want to get into the whole Finck/Slash thing again but these are some great points about it.
My point about the bad notes is that we know SLASH DIDN'T HIT ANY BECAUSE THE WAH WASN'T THERE TO COVER UP ANY ERRORS LIKE THE WAH CAN DO WHEN ITS IN ON POSITION. I wasn't saying that finck uses the wah to cover up errors, I am saying if finck makes an error while using wah, its easier to cover up when the wah is being used. Do any of you play guitar, or just like to talk about it like you do?

No, His wah is run through a rig. He probably just used a standard issue Marshall amp that the backing band had. I KNOW THERE IS FUCKING WAH ON THE SONG. READ MY QUOTE, I said I like the Wah. Slash may no have known where he was going to be on stage. Maybe he missed rehearsal. I don't know why he wouldn't play with the wah other than that he a: Forgot it. B: Didn't feel like going through trouble of busting out his wireless wah and dialing it in C: Wah Failure and wasn't working. Don't try to be a smart ass when we all know there is a wah. IF YOU READ AT THE TOP OF THE THREAD, I POINT OUT THERE IS WAH IN THE SONG. Its old school because up until 1990, Slash didn't play wah live because he hated pedals in a live setting. Not until he got his current guitar tech, Andy, did he start using effects more. If I am going to stand in for a song with a band, the easiest thing to do is go Guitar to Amp. If its a full show, then ya, maybe go through the effort of dialing in your tone perfect, getting all your pedals etc. Plus, it sounded just fine with no wah.

This chick seems to know at least a few kick ass old school rock songs. On top of that she can actually sing. I bet if hard rock were to make a comeback that she'd make a run at releasing a rock album.
Ya, she isn't bad. I think she is kind of hot and I like her leather pants...

Good point Mikkamakka! VR needs a singer with Balls too and VR needs to be a Hard Rock band. Not a pop rock band. A guy like Bon Scott would be perfect for me. Some one with Attitude and some vocal range.
#8988 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dave Mustaine: "Buckethead is better than me and Slash combined" » 895 weeks ago
Bucket is awesome and got there on repetition. I think if Slash and Dave sat down and did exercises a couple hours a day on bucket's technique, they could do it too. Slash can alternate pick pretty fast when he wants. He is just lazy on technique I think or does't desire to go there.

I hear ya!!!
It's going to be wierd when CD comes out. After i've waited this long for it, I'll feel a sence of personal achievment, almost like i've proved something to my friends who didn't think it would come. That's crazy cos I had nothing to do with it...but I'll feel a sence of satisfaction if it comes out and its as good as the leaks are.
At the same time what will we have to live for then? Our goal is accomplished, will we no longer be friends? Is our bond that brought us here, GNR and CD now fade when rumors or leaks are no longer happening? I hope not.
