Slash selling out??

Drew · 10-13-2006, 12:48 PM

You know, my thinking on Slash sorta did a 180 one day when reading a Jemsite thread about the Velvet Revolver album. Someone commented, "Man, I never knew how much I missed Slash until he came back."

And you know, tha's true. I'm not a huge GNR fan, I dont' think he's a technical mastermind or much of a melodic player either, but he just has this thing for playing good straight-up rock solos. Nothing revolutionary and thus easy to take for granted, but I think the 80's without Slash would have been a sadder place.

Should you respect the guy for this? Fucked if I know. I DO know, however, that when I first heard "Fall To Peices" on the radio, without even being told it was VR I knew it was good to have the dude back with us.

And I'd take the Axl Rose gig just for the pleasure of pulling a SRV and telling the guy, publically, to go screw.

Give me the Carvin every time.

Made to order = custom according to Daniel Webster. I always took custom to mean 'made to spec' though.

I wonder if First Act has a seven string

I saw the Slash ad the other night on TV - his tone SUCKS on that one. If they're hoping to sell the guitars with that clip, he's doing them no favors.

Doesn't anyone see the real evil? Now every time you go to the mall you're going to have to hear some douche bag trying to play Nickelback riffs in the parking lot. Volkswagen has unleashed an unholy evil. They must be stopped. As I see it there are two options all real guitarists need big ass SUVs with twin half stacks mounted in the back to unleash sonic warfare on these lame ass Volkswagen guitarists or someone could just shoot them.
