moreblack Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I like the Slash Myles combo. I never liked V.R. Sure hope V.R. never reform. Maybe a V.R. without Scott could work. It's weird to say, but despite being one of the faces of the band, Slash didn't really get to do what he does best(riffs/solos) in that band as much as he did when he went solo. There's just not enough of his signature playing in VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as an album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 But not so much as a Slash album. Snakepit, and his solo stuff had more Slash than Contraband or Libertad did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The last album contained some really good songs. Sure there was filler, but that's always been the case with Slash albums, i expect that, it's the case with most albums. Very few albums are rocking 100%. Nirvana's Nevermind, and GN'Rs AFD come close though, to the 100% thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITG Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Absolutely. Especially since I've been hearing his next album is supposed to be really, really good. Could be a turning point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 How do people automatically NOT buy an album before they here it? That seems very odd to me. Especially those who constantly moan and cry about people who won't give CD a chance because of their personal feelings about Axl or Slash. Bit of a double-standard there. Depending on how the first single sounds, I'll probably buy it. It's only $15 and I like to support rock musicians that release music. Because there's no reason to pay for a shit product that you can preview before buying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Of The Blues Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I haven't purchased a "Slash" album since Libertad which was disappointing compared to it's predecessor. Everything that has followed was good except for Paradise City featuring Cypress Hill and that god awful super bowl performance with Fergie, wtf? More than likely if he put his heart and soul into it instead of trying to stay relevant there's a better chance, paired with less singing from Myles.

James Bond Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'll be buying it. I liked Apocalyptic Love and I'm a huge Slash fan so it's a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 No. If it's anything like the last one, the amount of effort they put into it isn't equal to the cost of the album (imo of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Would love to see Slash taking more risks on this one. Not sure if it's gonna happen. Anyway, they guy released solid rock records since leaving GNR and still seems interested in creating, releasing and playing new stuff. He has my respect. He doesn't care if people still buy albums or not, unlike Chris Pitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm hoping it sucks and is uninspired, because it's just a waste on Myles. No matter what you think of his voice, his songs are just generic rock like Shinedown. Surely Slash could find someone more unique? Maybe he just doesn't care though. Maybe he's like EVH, who only seems to care about the singer's voice, not the songs. Someone said he still doesn't know the words to Beautiful Girls, despite the band having played it hundreds of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
