Re: Slash & Friends @ The Roxy April 10th
Slash really is killer on these vids. I was already majorly primed for this tour, but this shit has really upped it a notch.
Re: Slash & Friends @ The Roxy April 10th
His live playing is amazing. I loved Slash before because I love the way he makes the guitar sound and how he fits amazing guitar parts into songs. I never thought he could play technically at the level he is now. I don't know if he could play everything on CD, I'm fairly sure he wouldn't want to, but I would have loved to have heard what he would have done to those songs.
Slash's album seems to be getting a pretty favorable response from the non-guns sites I've looked at. If there's a hit in there somewhere...

Re: Slash & Friends @ The Roxy April 10th
Slash, at 44, is playing his very best guitar of his life right now. He seems so focused and confidant. Back in the day he many moments of magic, many jaw dropping moments, but then the next night may not be one. Maybe the lack of booze and junk is making him a bigger badass than he already was?
Re: Slash & Friends @ The Roxy April 10th
Let's not get crazy guys. Slash's guitar work these days leaves ALOT to be desired. There are certain moments, like that Duff & Dave tune (name escapes me right now) where he's great. But Slash hasn't produced anything on the level of UYI, since UYI. Even the most diehard of Slash fans can agree on that.
Just because Slash can play 20+ year old AFD songs, which he helped co-write, really really good, doesn't mean he's playing the best guitar of his life at 44. It means he's just had alot of practice playing his own material, hundreds of times, that he knows it like the back of his hand. Brian May can probably sleep, and still play the hell out of Tie Your Mother Down.
And that comment about Slash can take the CD material... well on the really shitty DJ level, you're probably right. But I would fucking love to see Slash try to attempt that Shackler's Revenge solo or There Was A Time solo...
Something tells me he'd learn a thing or two from Ron.

You forgot Bucket, but agreed.
I still like Bh's Nightrain outro better.
Slash's live playing is amazing is what I think what people were trying to get at. In the studio though he just doesn't have the same magic.
