Re: Slash Apocalytipic Love album/singles Chart positions
Slash's body of work post Guns sucks....period. Axl's does too because he hasn't released shit and Chinese is lukewarm at best. Duff's solo shit sucks. Izzy's solo stuff is good, but has moments of samey-ness. Game over.
FIFY
For the most part I agree.
Re: Slash Apocalytipic Love album/singles Chart positions
LOL....whatever....combine the best of Contraband and Slash and you have an album better than any GNR material sans AFD. Obviously, Slash had a lot of world class vocal talent helping out, but to pretend like he has somehow sucked since 1993 is ridiculous. It's just not true and an opinion shared by a very small minority.
Re: Slash Apocalytipic Love album/singles Chart positions
I don't think he's sucked since 1993, I just think his weak stuff far outweighs his good stuff.
Five O'Clock Somewhere is vastly overrated by GN'R fans, probably by about the same amount Chinese is and for different reasons [Axl = Coke, Slash = Pepsi, that kinda thing].
There's only a few trx on that album worth a damn.
Ain't Life Grand has Mean Bone (one of Slash's best songs period). That's pretty much it.
Things get better with VR, but not by mountains. Contraband was his strongest effort post-Guns, but if you combine it with Libertad, it greatly waters down the VR catalog.
Slash 2010 was a new ballgame for Slash. He's showing growth, and that I give him major respect for. Some songs were hit and miss, but the songs that hit were shockers that harkened back to his GN'R days.
Such a crying shame that he chose such a horrible vocalist in Myles to sing them. He has NEVER had taste in vocalists or an understanding of ability post-Axl.
Still at this point, there's 3/4 misses in his catalog, versus 1/4 hits. The only reason Axl doesn't give him a true run for his money (and the reason I put Slash over Axl), is that at least SLASH TRIED. Axl sits on his ass, hides his vault, and blames everyone from record companies, to suits, to Best Buy, to fans, to downloaders, to Slash, to the boogeyman as the reason he can't release it.
So in reverse, yes I would say Slash has something combined, comparable to Axl's stuff. But AFD? Fuck fuckity fuckin' NO. You're nuts. NONE OF THEM have made something comparable to AFD. NONE. Including Izzy.
Re: Slash Apocalytipic Love album/singles Chart positions
Snakepit 2 is the single most under-rated album of the first 5 years of this milenium.
Mean Bone? The intro is a bit cheesy for me. The rest is great.
But.
Ain't Life Grand, the song, I listen to at least once a week.
Just like anything is Slash's best riffing since PC.
The Alien and Speed parade are awesome.
Serial Killer is great.
The Truth, Shine and life's sweet drug are weaker but still pretty good. The only one I don't like off that album is back to the moment.
- Smoking Guns

Ain't Life Grand the song is pure listening bliss.

SO u compare everything to Appetite?
I don't think its fair to expect anyone to compete with one of the 3 or 4 greatest rock albums of all time. temper those expectations dude.

I don't expect him to. Don't under-estimate my intelligence and experience on knowing good music. The good stuff is there or it isn't. Street Child might be one of the greatest things Slash has ever done with a guitar. Such a tragedy that wasn't a late 90's/early 2000's old GN'R song.
There's a reason Slash only plays one track or so from that period (Snakepit) in his live sets.
'nuff said
And just for reference sake, I don't think any of them ever recaptured what they had post-1993. Everybody has their prime, Stones, Aerosmith, Zeppelin, etc. Queen is about the only one that kept making classic albums all the way until the end.
