ya think SLASH listened to the new gnr tracks?

[Steel_Angel]

Slash: umm..yeah..like..i HEARD the tracks were good..so ... like...yeah...w/e
 

[1badapple]

i'd be willing to bet that Slash has listened to the songs. I wonder if he liked what he heard.

[bigcash2002]

I would think he has heard them.....for some reason he seems more curious than the others regarding what Axl is up to, in terms of music.....or at least the others hide it better

[Minneapolisnewsman]

I would think he has heard them.....for some reason he seems more curious than the others regarding what Axl is up to, in terms of music.....or at least the others hide it better

I think he wants it to succeed, so he get's some sort of money from the GNR, Inc. proceeds. Just kidding!!

[Jeramy]

probably so since he had to re record all of buckethead's parts 

[oneway23]

I hope he heard it, if only to demand that scott step it up the next record out

[The Dog]

I think hes online looking for the tab somewhere haha

of course hes heard them - I'm sure all the ex gunners have listened.

[highend88]

I'll bet he regretted leaving AXL

[McDuff]

yeah I think Slash has probably heard the songs,probably so have the other ex members 

[supaplex]

hm.. oh... that guy is a fraud... fuck... oh... nice TWAT...  shit... oh...

[gnr_12]

what I dont get is.. why would Slash .. a guy who hasnt talked to Axl since... well 96 i guess... get to hear it before us devoted fans? does that make sense at all?

[McDuff]

what I dont get is.. why would Slash .. a guy who hasnt talked to Axl since... well 96 i guess... get to hear it before us devoted fans? does that make sense at all?

Well it does make sense to me,but who knows 

[gnr_12]

haha tell me how it makes sense to you? unless there buddy buddy againnn..

BTW are there any award shows coming up soon?

[Jeramy]

maybe axl gave slash a copy of it and then slash leaked some of the songs out so axl responded with that press release

[badapple81]

I would say so. I recall him saying he listened to the new (live) songs from the internet back in 01 or 02 after they had played RIR3.

[Origen]

Slash didn't say he had heard CD he said he has a contact (mutual friend) that has heard it.

[Origen]

I'll bet he regretted leaving AXL

Get over it, that was 10 years ago and Slash has accomplished alot in that time with many bands and artists.

[oldgunsfan]

My guess would be he has heard it through mutual friends/contacts....

My guess would be that the amount of time that's gone buy since he left, alot of the bitterness and hard feelings have faded

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"  or something like that 

[Nighteyes]

My guess would be that the amount of time that's gone buy since he left, alot of the bitterness and hard feelings have faded

Yeah,probably,ten years is a long time.I think that they miss eachother,but that doesn't mean that they want to be in a band together.

[Lord Kayoss]

what I dont get is.. why would Slash .. a guy who hasnt talked to Axl since... well 96 i guess... get to hear it before us devoted fans? does that make sense at all?

I'm sure he has a computer like the rest of us.

[DCGNR2006]

NOT A F*CKING SHOT

SOME OF THE CURRENT BAND MEMBERS HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD ALL OF THEM!

YOU DON'T KEEP SOMETHING LIKE THIS UNDER WRAPS FOR 15 YEARS AND THEN PLAY THEM FOR THE ONE GUY THAT YOU FEEL BETRAYED YOU!

[gilld1]

If he has heard these songs I'll bet his reaction was "He kicked me out of the band for this shit?"

[NicoRourke]

If he has heard these songs I'll bet his reaction was "He kicked me out of the band for this shit?"

Then again, he wasn't kicked, he chose to leave.

I bet he has heard them, just like all of us that are interested by the new GN'R reccord.

[gilld1]

OK, since he chose to leave the reaction would be "I'm a freaking genius, this fool can't go on without me."

[Lucky]

I don't think Adler heard it.
this guy probably still doesn't know that they invented CD-players, or that TSI is out, not to mention that there are leaks online.

[darkmonth]

I'll bet he regretted leaving AXL

As much as I love the new Axl stuff... I'm 100% sure that based on these, Slash is GLAD he hasn't stayed.  Fact is, they're not hard rock... and Slash is a hard rock guitarist.  They're great, but there isn't one BIT of hard rock in these tracks so far.  Even tho some freaks insist that Better has a 'metal' part! LOL!  Idiots.

[Continental Drift]

I'll bet he regretted leaving AXL

As much as I love the new Axl stuff... I'm 100% sure that based on these, Slash is GLAD he hasn't stayed.? Fact is, they're not hard rock... and Slash is a hard rock guitarist.? They're great, but there isn't one BIT of hard rock in these tracks so far.? Even tho some freaks insist that Better has a 'metal' part! LOL!? Idiots.

True. But the question really is whether Slash listens to them and thinks... "Shit. I could actually work with these tracks and create some great hard rock with Axl." I don't think that was even a possibility with the intense techno direction Axl was headed in when Slash left the band... I could see Slash writing solos for IRS, CITR, TWAT, Madagascar and The Blues though.

[Backslash]

As much as I love the new Axl stuff... I'm 100% sure that based on these, Slash is GLAD he hasn't stayed.? Fact is, they're not hard rock... and Slash is a hard rock guitarist.

I beg to differ.  Slash can play almost any style of music, that's what makes him such a good guitarist.  He's played everything from metal to flamenco, to pop to classic rock, and blues to rap.  Well, to me, he's more of a blues guitarist in a hard rock band, but can adapt his style to any type of music.

Jesus.. he even played with Michael Jackson for fucks sakes lol.. he CAN play anything.

[masterdan]

I would say so...  I'm sure someone would have shown him the songs by now. 

[Sparksry]

Wasnt slash recently on a talk show where he said sumthin like he heard all the tracks and that its done just that and i quote "axl is rtarded and wont sell it " .... of course everyone knows or at least thinks the tracks are done i know i beleive that OH YA ... remember the bar thing now thats mor proof then ever.

MAOAXL: I AGREE. I could definitely see a Slash solo at the end of TWAT. He definitely COULD HAVE been brilliant on these tracks, but it was pretty obvious he just wasn't into it.  I hear ya on the techno direction and all, but IRS to me is something straight out of old Zeppelin shit, Better definitely departs from Slash's style, but
underneath all of that is a GREAT fucking rock song -

[shaun]

i doubt Slash has heard anything (i was going to wirte s--t)

[bigcash2002]

OzzyCAT....I would think that IRS qualifies as hard rock???

[Scabbie]

I think I have found evidence of this.

Go to Robin's recent website update, and browse through the pictures under the theme 'Under'. There's a photo titled 'Arrr'

[speed_stone]

slash is a proven liar and a backstabber, who knows what to believe when he says it.
i'd be embarrased to still be a fan of that guy, i've lost all respect i had for him.

Proven by who exactly?  And I'm still more likely to believe something that comes out of Slash's mouth than Axl's.  What has Slash done to embarass his fans over the years?  Name me some, cause I can name you like 50 things Axl has done to embarass his over the years.

by constantly contradicting himself.
plus it's embarrasing to see a once great rock star embarras himself by putting out sub-par material and whoring for media attention. it's sad. at least axl has his legacy intact.

in my opinion sir, you are the idiot. you're 100% sure what slash thinks ? i happen to think that most all of the new shit i could see slash playing. these are rock songs with incredible meledies that slash would shine on.

[Rob]

You know anyone can just make outrageous claims that are completely untrue.  How about some examples of him contradicting himself?  At least Slash has the balls to put out material.  I hate to break it to you, but Chinese Democracy still hasn't been released yet.  And its not like the leaked tracks we've heard have been ground-breaking IMO.  They've been pretty good, nothing that I'd say blows Velvet Revolver out of the water.  And does hanging out with Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Fox, and Adrien Brody count as whoring for media attention?  Cause I sure think it does.

[the dirt]

? And does hanging out with Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Fox, and Adrien Brody count as whoring for media attention?? Cause I sure think it does.

Why, Axl hung out with them?


And I bet Slash heard the leaks. He's excited to hear new stuff as well. I don't think he's the type to avoid listening to them for whatever reason.

Yes, Axl has hung out with those people...among others.  I agree that Slash has probably heard the leaks.  Why not?  I'm sure Axl has heard Contraband.  I'm sure Slash is still following Axl's career and vice versa.

[mikegiuliana]

I think slash will always follow anything under the gnr name, it's part of his life and he helped make it what it was..  I have no idea if he ever heard the new tracks, might have been in between calling duff spineless and calling scott a fraud, prostitute was plyed between those comments

[Rob]

I can't believe people actually believed that bullshit statement from Axl's lawyer.  Why would Slash call Duff spineless?  You people take Axl's lawyer's word over Slash's?  Give me a break.

[the dirt]

Maybe those are some of the lyrics from Prostitute.

[Nighteyes]

I think he heard them...Didn't he say(I don't remember when) that he really wanted to hear the new material?

[the dirt]

I think he heard them...Didn't he say(I don't remember when) that he really wanted to hear the new material?

He even wanted to go see them. Then he got booted out.

[Nighteyes]

Well,he can always get some bootlegs if he wants to see them
I wonder if Axl ever been to a VR show?Or downloaded some bootlegs..

[Walapino]

Fortus went to a VR show that I can remember.

[Mr_Brownface]

Has SLASH ever commented yet on the whole thing he supposedly said?

[the dirt]

Has SLASH ever commented yet on the whole thing he supposedly said?

No.

[ARC]

Slash has shown quite a large interest in "Chinese Democracy"...

He's heard the tracks, count on it. I'm guessing he would have like to have put some solo's on "TWAT" "Blues" "Madagascar" and "CITR"...
