Sounds good, but YGNR with the brilliant Slash solo is best so far.

Ok, I've finally listened to it!

I can't really say it was what I was expecting as the guitar doesn't have that classic Slash tone we all know and love.
Sounds more modern and very brash, raw and has an almost underproduced vibe to it.

Mind you, this is only a 64kb quality version of it and it's only 31 seconds, not much to really judge the song by.

But after repeated listens it does sound a bit like AFD era GN'R mixed with STP, which it has been described to sound like.

I can't wait to get the album and crank it up in my car stereo!

Yeah and according to the reports Slither is the most "STP sounding" song on the album and this song flat out rocks! Can't wait to here the intro, solo, slow change, then the awesome climax!!

Difficult to judge how good the song is by less than 30 seconds of clip but the signs are promising. I like it better than YGNR although I prefer SMF to both but obviously the fact that I have heard the whole studio version of SMF helps.

Gonna be one hell of an album though, I like all the songs I have heard so far!

I like SMF too but it's only a soundtrack song that was put together very quickly which is why the lyrics are weak. Who knows maybe the Set me Free they put on the album is longer and improved with more lyrics.

Set me free shouldn't have been on the album. I doubt it'll be any different than the other one.

The slither clip is alright. Should be a good album as a whole.

I thought it was mediocre.  As was SMF.  Theres something about Matt's drumming that just annoys me.  I don't know what it is.  But I don't like it.

Anyhow, it doesn't matter, VR will be huge.  Why?  Because of the hype.  Every music reviewer in the world is gonna write about how great they are, and how nice they are that they didn't ruin the GN'R name and aren't a fat bloated Axl Rose, even if the record is just average (which I hope it isn't) it will be huge.

I agree with what you  said about Sorum, but I think he is actually quite good on Set me free and Slither. And he was great on YCBM & Estranged. But his overall backbeat has no groove. No looseness that makes John Bonham & Tommy Lee so great and even Steven Adler if he didn't throw it all away.

but he gets the job done and everyone in the band likes him and like playing with him. There aren't that many great drummers out there. I'd love to have John Bonham, Tommy Lee, Dave Grohl, the drummer from the black crowes but those guys aren't available.

What are you talking about.  The MTV review wasnt sucking up to them.  He even said that Contraband was 'neither positive nor hip-sounding'.  He said it was good, but he wasnt kissing anyone's ass.

I think there will more questioning of VR than ass-kissing.  VR has to prove that this is gonna work in spite of the drug problems, the troubled GNR legacy, and the fact they're not young spring chickens anymore.

SMF is a really great song.

People think the VR hype is the as the Metallica - St. Anger hype. But it's completely different situation. All you read about was how good St. Anger was but they never previewed the songs til right before the release. So once the album came out and that god awful song "St. Anger" hit radio people were extremely disappointed. We've heard enough from VR...Slither, You Got No Right, Set Me Free to know that it will live up to the hype.

Thats not necessarily a criticism (I think of it as more of a complinent).  I dont think there was one negative criticism in that review.  So far, the preview/reviews (theres been at least 2 or 3) of the album have been very enthusiastic...Asskissing?  I dont know about that.

I think there will more questioning of VR than ass-kissing.  VR has to prove that this is gonna work in spite of the drug problems, the troubled GNR legacy, and the fact they're not young spring chickens anymore.

I dont know, I think there will be a small amount of questioning but I predict all of the reviews will be generally positive.  Theyll obviously touch on Weilands addiction, but its nothing theyll hold against him.  All indicators are that the album is flat-out good, and the guys minus Weiland are likeable , so I think Velvet Revolver can expect a warm reception from critics.

SMF is a really great song.

Agree completely.  "Set Me Free" and "Slither" are great examples of songs that get better with each listen.  I immediately liked both on first listen, but my enjoyment has only grown ten-fold since.  You can really appreciate just how well-done they are with each listen.  Everybodys playing on and Scotts vocals on each song are terrific, not to mention theyre simply great, well-written, hard-rocking songs that sound better and better the louder they get.

Listened to it a few times....

The intro doesn't get my attention like Audioslave's "Cochise" does. That's a great intro...

Maybe the rest of the song is better.

The Slither intro is great in a different kinda way. Cochise is an anthem rocker, like I consider Welcome to the jungle to be.

Agreed, even if I think the comparison is kind of unnecessary.  "Cochise" is a fucking brutal classic.  Then again, this isnt the full intro...the real intro isnt featured in the clip, only where the main riff kicks off.

Maybe the rest of the song is better.

Of course it is...havent you heard the El Rey version?

Thats too bad, youre missing out on some great music.

What I meant was, when I hear the intro to Cochise, I immediately want to hear more. This "Slither" intro didn't have the same effect on me.....

I think so, but the quality wasn't exactly studio quality....

I listened to their Greatest Hits and there were a few ok songs on there.... I have Core, same thing there. A few ok songs.

Then I just can't get over the fact that Big Bang Baby reminds me of Jumping Jack Flash.  nervous

And I'm not a fan of Weiland's lyrics either.... At least not the stuff I've heard.


Anyway, I'm not gonna say the song sucks because of a low quality 20+ second clip.

Not at all, but its good enough to get a feel for the song.  The only real problem is that the lyrics are unintelligble.  Other than that, te music is relatively clear.

I listened to their Greatest Hits and there were a few ok songs on there.... I have Core, same thing there. A few ok songs.

Only Ok?  Fair enough, but to me "Big Empty," "Trippin On A Hole...," "Interstate Love Song," "Plush" and "Sour Girl" are some of the best songs of the decade.

Core is really their weakest album and not a great album to judge the rest of their work on.  Its a good album, definitely their overall hardest, but I suggest at least downloading Purple and Shangri-La - they grew enormously.

Then I just can't get over the fact that Big Bang Baby reminds me of Jumping Jack Flash.  nervous

Yeah, some of the lyrics are pilfered, still a great song.

And I'm not a fan of Weiland's lyrics either.... At least not the stuff I've heard.

Weilands lyrics are hit or miss, but he hits most of the time.  Theyre usually abstract and puzzling, but they service the song well enough.  And his vocal melodies are incredible.

Anyway, I'm not gonna say the song sucks because of a low quality 20+ second clip.

Thats good to hear, because that would be unfair and kind of irrational.

I'm the biggest Audioslave fan you'll find. There are so many better songs than Cochise on their album. Shadow on the sun, Gasoline, What you are, Show me how to live, I am the highway and Like a stone.

Only one of those songs were chosen as the first single from their debut album......

The lyrics to I am the Highway are stunningly beautiful.  And I love the guitar sound in Like A Stone.

I'm glad that Duff also likes Audioslave.  It would be so fucking cool to have them tour together.  

btw, does MTV2 air any Audioslave videos?  (I dont know b/c I dont have a tv).  If they dont, I worry they wont do VR videos either.
