Hey guys, I do like SLither actually it isn't a great great song at all but it is a good song. It will do nicely on the billboard top 40.
I say it will crack the top 40.
I think we all think it's not that good because we all jacked up the expectations.
Slither was played this summer.... I'm sure this isn't their biggest song... I promise you guys that.
Scott's vocals are okay...
Slash is excellent
Kushner does his job
\
Duff is good
Matt does his job.
I like the song a lot.
VELVET REVOLVER IS HERE!

I didn't like it after the 1st listen
But 20 times later - i really like it - its quite catchy.
Discrepancy?
Back on topic, I think we all (well most of us) agree that Slither is a fine song that grows on you. Still it is a weak first single, not likely to stir a sill water.
It sounds very mid/late '90s and the lyrics turn out to be quite the clich? expected from SW.
However, I still will be first in line when the album arrives - I don't expect another 'Snakepit-letdown'.

but alot of my friends ive let listen to velvet revolver say slash still sounds to 80ish that he hasnt evolved any and thats true, thats why i think axl was right slash didnt wanna evolve so he quit
Do "alot" of your friends think that Zeppelin is "too" 70's??
Talent is talent and Slash's talent is UNTOUCHABLE and certainly cannot be "dated" or dismissed as "too" anything other than "Too Motherfuckin Rockin for the weak".

I think the song is excellent. Hearing this and Set Me Free have really got me excited about the upcoming album. The best thing about Contraband is that it is for sure going to be released. I was also a big STP fan. Do all the people who dislike this song also dislike STP?

I've listened to the song about 50 times this week now, and really like it.
And to clairify my prespective
Diehard GNR fan. Has followed the project since Nov 02. i got into STP once it was announced that Scott got the job, bought Set Me Free the first day, saw them at the smashbox show, saw them at the video, we can just say that no one is a bigger VR fan than me yet.

D.... How the hell does Slash sound 80s? Part of the whole fuckin point GNR became popular is that they strayed from the 80s sound...
Slash was all about pentatonics and hard blues... NOT harmonic minor shredding that was common in the 80s... his solo is pretty fresh in today's music scene... there is absolutely NOTHING 80s about that playing....
Well...Appetite
was
released in the 80's...
Before you get all angry...i'm kidding...I know exactly what you mean

Steven's drumming made the band; he made a big musical difference. His sense of swing was the push and pull that gave those songs their feel, afterwards, nothing worked.

As you soon as you get it, you're gonna put Contraband on infinite repeat, arent you?

Isnt it cool being able to experience a band being born?

I don't see this song doing anything. "set me free" was much better and that didn't make a huge splash. I've listen to Slither several times and really tried to get into it. Wieland just doesn't have a great range, and the sound is so unorigional. Even Slash's solo doesnt sound that unique. The rest of the album better be a lot better.

Ok perhaps a little inconsistant, but you know what i mean.
I'm sure i speak for a majority of us, when i say we are all looking forward to 'Contraband'!
I have missed slash, and in MHO bucket (although i loved) could not fill the void.
Just keep listening to slither - it will grow on you

Scott isnt a good singer, hes unoriginal and boaring doesnt have much of a range, from what ive heard on VR anyway. there is a good riff there just after the intro but its being done all wrong. Drums are boaring, bass is crap... the intro sounds like they are trying to cop in on modern music, which sucks, coz most modern music sucks.
slashs solo is ok but the wah is distastefully used, which i did not expect from him a la civil war, very intelligently used.
the structure of the song is pretty crap, basic muted power chord used for the rythm, just listen to an afd song then slither, what the fuck happened slash? play with a bit of creativity you know... think it goes to show that slash is not a genious on his own, the key is izzy, adler, duff, axl, only then are u likly to get good music. every snakepit song sounds better than this, the worst songs on use your illousion are better than this. To me it sounds exactly like snake pit but without the big black guys stomping vocals over it.
Slash needs to get out of his own " i just wanna play good rock" ass and stop making extremly average albums and do summet interesting. Fair enough hes already changed history enough so doesnt need to bother but just stop releasing dump songs.
having said all that, i still worship slash... just hope he dosnt sell out.

Nah, Scott is a good singer, different from Axl, which is a good thing (as it stops comparisons).
If Slash changes 'Slash needs to get out of his own " i just wanna play good rock" ass'
Then that would be selling out 'just hope he dosnt sell out'.

you can pretty much fuckin bet ur life that every afd song was contributed to by the whole band whatever the wrighting credits say. You cant wright a good song just coz ur good on guitar, ur usually one or the other, or like bowie, now theres a fuckin genious who can play guitar alright, not great tho

Well depends on what you like! I like all kinds including the hard rock.
There will be softer ballads (read somewhere in this board there is a november rain like song)
Wait for the album - if you don't, then i would like you to come back and eat your words after the release of contraband
I agree Axl is better - but Scott is not shit - just different to axl.
You are allowed to listen to more that one singer

I like Slither, it's a good hard rock song, and it grows on you. Scott's vocals aren't my favorite, but they definitely work for the song. Slash's guitar work is the best part of the song. I like the solo, though I wish it was a little bit more dissident with the main rhythm (as was common with AFD songs). I was disappointed with Kushner's rhythym work (adequate, but far from being a "secret weapon"), and Matt's drumming is no better than it was back in the UYI days. Duff sounds good too.
100% agreed. Kushner's really disappointed me too, esp. because we already know Money, Set Me Free and Slither and he didn't made anything special to be this "secret weapon". Damn, bring Izzy as a permanent member and all things will work!
