Naren · 10-07-2006, 02:46 AM

I never had any respect for Slash in the first place. So no loss here.

Never had respect for Slash? Why not?

The guitar tone sucks, IMO.

As Shannon said they make some high dollar customs now. Here's a link to their custom gallery.

They also have a guitarbuilder:

Maybe their site is blocked through my server, though?

Never had any reason to respect him. Give me one reason why I should. I've never liked Guns and Roses (If you remember, I used to joke about being the new replacement singer for GnR and ACDC and then I'd do my GnR or ACDC impression). Nothing about his playing strikes me as unique. Someone is asking "Slash selling out??" but how can he sell out when he was like this from the very beginning? For example, you can't say "50 Cent sold out" because he's always been about getting rich and compromising anything and everything to make money, get ho's, get drugs, and just have fun. Therefore, him "Selling out" would be him quitting rap and doing something completely uncommercial in order to not make money (silly comparison, I know).

I just don't see any reason to respect him. Some people just say "I respect him for the hard work it took him to get where he is," but I don't respect people just because they're rich and famous.

I agree that the guitar tone sucks, by the way.

The Dark Wolf · 10-07-2006, 05:36 AM

Jesus Christ, that post sure comes across as combative.

Ok, here's one reason -

1. He helped pave the way for real rock and hard hitting music in a time when it ws ONLY about image. You're too young to know, but when GNR came on the scene, what breath of fresh air they were in a time dominated by formulaic hair bands and shitty pop.

There's your one reason. You can accept it or not. I personally have at least a modicum of respect for the guy.

Naren · 10-07-2006, 06:34 AM

^I don't accept or agree with that reason, but that's okay because everyone has their own opinions and views on things.

I just caught an episode of Handmade Music on DYI and First act made a new guitar for Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys (Fookin thing was hideous)
