MojoRedFoot Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 The videos were too long. I don't care to watch 26 minutes of Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamman Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 great link, but, i could not stop myself from laughing. I left this comment "So, if i understand correctly, Slash doesn't use any of the original '58,'59 '60's LP's that he owns. hmmmmm , very interesting. I'll have to run out , and buy me a CS Slash right away.it will only be my 6th. LP. thanks for that great info." I just had to. sorry Gibson , it's been 1 of those days . LMFAO !!!!

FirstMeasure Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yes!! He uses the same Chorus I do, I'm so on my way!!! Seriously, though, I love these "Tours" of Pro-Touring Rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Ok, first off, I never owned a GnR album, ever. Not a fan of VR either, but I still don't understand why Slash gets so much grief? I like what I've heard from his new solo album. I think he as a performer is total rock'n'roll, pure rockstar in the vein of Keith Richards. Why all the hate on Slash? What am I missing?

Ive never been a GNR fan or a VR fan either,, on the Flip side of what cabba said,, why the LOVE ?? some people put him up with some of the best,, I dont see it personally, yes he has Les Paul/Marshall tones and he can lay down a few riffs,, but to put him up in the top 10 of all times is BEYOND me,, Ive NEVER hear one thing from him that I was in AWE of,,, I mean I listen to Gary Moore and I say "WOW" but certainly NOT Slash's stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Why all the hate on Slash? What am I missing? I've no idea. The only track I have featuring the guy is when he plays the solo on Lenny Kravitz' "Always On the Run" and he's fine by me. Perhaps people think he gets a bit too much exposure in the media? I'm with Mojo; 26 mins of clips?. Informative they may be but - Life's too short. At least while I type this I can listen to some good music...

My guitar "god" who I worship on guitar is Tony Iommi but his leads aren't anywhere near Gary Moore or a Vai either. I think what makes a guitar idol is more than just virtuosity.

I agree Tony's no slouch but you know what I mean, he gets respect as a Riff Master but kind of set aside as a lead player because he doesn't play like (insert favorite shredder here). I think that's what may be happening with Slash, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGSpecialguy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Technical ecstasy has some fantastic stuff on it too,, there is one tune that starts out slow but Tony LITES it up at the end, forget the name of that tune but some fantastic lead trills at the end,, a buddy of mine and I went down to the hotel they were staying at when the were recording that album in Miami beach, (the Thunderbird Hotel) we went up to their room but nobody was there, so on the way back down the elevator, just as the door opened the entire band was there ready to get on, Ozzy looked at us and said " hey, how's it going guys" we were STAR struck young kids then, but it was WAY cool !! Mob Rules is another great tune, I use to play Mob Rules in a band years ago along with some stuff off Vol. 4 and Maters of Reality too,, great stuff !!! I was also a HUGE fan of the Sabotage album, Hole in the sky, Symptom of the Universe,, Killer riff !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have no hate for Slash but i don't have a lot of love for him. He's a solid guitar player that lets it all out when he performs. I think its the people who think he's not that good that get upset with his god-like status with many.... Its just opinions...Iommi rules....i like his riffin...was never amazed by his solos..like you cabba... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm not a Slash fan but he's a good player by any standard. Heard him interviewed on the radio recently and he's seems like a good bloke too. I liked the vids alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
