any guesses as to which track adler's playing on?
There's no guesses, he's on the bonus track Baby Can't Drive with Alice Cooper, Flea and the Pussycat Dolls skank.
ahhhh... my bad.
i must have missed that one
Re: Slash: New Album Release And Tour Set For March/April
I like the Astbury track. The Ozzy track is pretty good. Love that solo it breaks into. Watch This sounds great. Instrumental Slash is my wet dream. The Iggy Pop song is a gem. I like the M. Shadows song. Sounds like some of Slash's fastest playing ever. Impressive.
The rest, I'll be honest, don't excite me at all. I don't get the love for the Fergie track. It doesn't showcase her singing, at least that clip, at all. Sounds like crap, frankly. It's like the singing I used to do as a kid when I thought I sounded cool. Drawing out the wrong syllables and shit.
All those ballads with Rocco, Adam, Myles, Kid Rock, pure turnoffs. I was hoping more from the Lemmy collaboration. Same with the Cornell one. Wasted opportunity. What's up with Cornell's voice. Sounds like he's holding back or trying something new.
Chains and Shackles and Paradise City, garbage.
By the Sword was the wrong single to lead with. It's getting no airplay in my region (Chicago, not exactly a small market).
I wished he would've just done an instrumental album.
Several of the songs I disliked the ONLY reason was the really lame vocalists.
I wanted to just hear the raw song...
Re: Slash: New Album Release And Tour Set For March/April
Yeah, a total instrumental album is my dream, but he doesn't have the balls to do it. It could fail, and he'd never risk that.
I'm with you also on the vocalists. If I wanted to hear Fergie, Adam Levine or Rocco DeLuca, wouldn't I have their CDs? And that right there is the whole point of their inclusion: to appeal to fans of those people, not us.
I'm probably going to pick and choose songs on iTunes I want, and it might end up being just a couple. The instrumental for sure.
I think the most disappointing clip by far is the Cornell one. Would love to hear the Jesus Christ Pose-era voice with Slash.

definitely... if ANYONE has the ability to elevate an instrumental, it has to be slash..
i'm not sure if it's an ego that won't allow himself to release a poorly selling instrumental record, or if it's insecurity... maybe he thinks he can't pull it off properly....
i think he likes having a vocalist take some of the attention. If this record was all instrumental, dickbags at blabbermouth etc. would be pissing and moaning about how "he's no Yngwie Malmsteen" or some bullshit... this is a format he's more comfortable with. Having said that, I fucking hate "all star" records for the most part... this carlos santana trip he's on right now really grinds my gears... VR ain't working, start a new thing... like the first snakepit record
however good this album turns out to be, it still reeks of pop rock cash grab ... and i'll have a hard time looking past that
Re: Slash: New Album Release And Tour Set For March/April
I've always felt 'all star' albums as you call it, says alot more about the artist's fear of rejection more than anything else.
This is gonna piss people off, but.... Slash hides behind vocalists, because of a lack of self-confidence as an artist.

harsh
i'd tend to veer more towards Slash being more inspired in the context of a song per se, and taking the lead from a vocalist to push his buttons. that was certainly the case with Guns.
as for an album of solely instrumentals ? I'd find it prety boring I think -and I'm a guitar player. Slash is a lyrical player, so it makes sense to add the next dimension to a song, hopefully igniting a song in the right places.
