Sahara - feat. 稲葉浩志
Words: Koshi Inaba  Music: Slash

ちょっとずれた歯並びも　吸いつくような手触りも
窓の外　眺めてた　でっかい看板の灯りも

Sorry I don't remember anything about you
消えちまってるんだ　あれもこれも
今夜はなんでだろ　いつもよりのどが渇く

夜明け前　絶対先に眠ったのは　お前のほう
調子いいことばっかほざいて　だらしなかったのは　俺のほう

Sorry I don't remember anything about you
砂にまみれたんだ　あれもこれも
焼けつく風が　心の中　吹き流れる

幼く燃える嫉妬のかたまりだった
なにがなんでも　お前をつなぎとめておきたかったんだよ

Sorry I don't remember anything about you
消えちまってるんだ　あれもこれも
うかれた気分で　誰かを傷つけ

I can't let go...anything about you
だいなしにしたんだ　あれもこれも
輝く日々は　永遠に埋もれてゆく

That's Koshi Inaba, the dude singing Sahara.  He is/was part of a rock band called B'z, which if wikipedia is correct, is a rock band consiting of 2 guys.  Love was passes for a band in this country.  Glorified karaoke.

No, that's the Japan-only Sahara CD single cover.

Is B'z any good? I actually quite like this dudes voice...he's got some range...although maybe it's just cos it suits slash's guitar well...might not be so cool on something else.

Paradise City was laughably awful. While she was bad covering it, Fergies voice sounded cool at times, given the right song, she could do well on the album (a Sheryl Crowe sounding rock song). I don't think she can pull off something heavy.

I like the guitar on Sahara, the vocals didn't do it for me. Cool riffs though, which is promising.

Wow. Paradise City, what crap. It's just all wrong on so many levels.

Sahara, OK song. The dude sounds like Vince Neil to me.

The solos in both songs are average Slash fare. I hope the whole CD is better.

While NOTHING can ever come close to the original and Axl's voice....i actually enjoyed the paradise cover...it was nice to hear that heavy riff in a recording that sounded more modern (clarity etc).

I'm usually not fond of female singers, so i'd normally be first to bash fergie, but I thought she did a good job of Axl's parts considering. I like that appart from just hitting the notes (like most female singers would do) she put a bit of that rock agression/semi-screamy thing into it for example before the solo at 2:19.

I did miss a few of the guitar parts though...especially the little riff that used to be during "so far away".

Anyway, I'll be interested to see what she pulls off on the album...she seems to have a reasonable amount of power in her voice.
