O.K
I jumped ahead....this one is posted by suggestion of Telefreak.
I dont have a lot to offer on "Slash".
Guns and Roses had their brief flash of glory....I always felt Slash could
play...but he sounded like so many others that he never stood out for
me.
I'll give him a rating of 3.5 as a player and song writer....
This should be interesting seeing what others think of Slash....

Slash! he's ok but nothing to write home about. I him seen in CA. Slash and
the snake pit I think it was called. He's has a great tone and some
borrowed chops from the greats. he has the classic 80's setup using the JCM
800 same as the 2000 pretty much, with a Les Paul.
I give him 3.8 out of 5
This could get boring.

Isnt he Joe Perry with a hat on?
I can't add much either (this is goingto be fun). I never really got into
guns'n'roses, despite owning all of their albums!
It seemed that for every good song they had, there would be 5 bad ones.
Still, at least Slash gave us an alternative to grunge, and dreadful bands
like Nirvana. (sorry, I dont think lack of ability is ever cool).
In conclusion, I'd rank Slash with players like Zakk Wylde, Kirk Hammett,
etc- good players but hyped because of their bands success. ____________________

Sounds fair. I don't rate him on his playing in G'nR', it's his blues
playing that I like.
He's just formed another band with the bassist and original rhythm
guitarist from g'n'r, I forget the name, probably the Axl Rose detesting
society or something.
3/5
And you all thought I was gonna rave on about how great he is  ____________________

| He got my vote just for "Mr. Brownstone" and the solo in "November
Rain".Velvet Revolver is a rockin' band.I heard some bootleg cuts from a
live show and it's heavy. ____________________

I heard a sound Bite from his new band....The lead singer from Stone Temple
Piolts is fronting his band,....it sounded pretty darn good.......
I notice Slash uses a lot of triplets in his solos.....is this only me
hearing this...? Or is this somewhat of a Slash signature lick...?

I'm surprised Wyland made it out of rehab long enough to front another
band....
It's all about priorities boys...

I think Slash has signature poses rather than signature licks.
He's one of those guitarists that seem to get mentioned everywhere!
Wrote some nifty songs though.
Time to move on think... :whip: ____________________
