Chula Vista

Rock and Roll baby.

Don't you have a trash can to abuse?

Generally, if a guitarist is playing things that could have been played by other artists 10-20 years earlier and you really had to be there to understand why he's so great, the guitarists usually suck. This is the case with Slash.

Slash doesn't suck. Far from it. He plays that style extremely well and even adds his own thing to it here and there.

Doesn't a good chunk of your musical inspiration come from an artist that pre-dated G&R by 10-20 years?

That and several other things. Slash played a few songs well but overall he's kind of boring. I guess he can be a professional at writing boring riffs and that's cool, but I still don't have to like him for it.

Nah, he's pretty good. My only gripe with him is that he hasn't evolved much since the GnR days.

For anyone who has yet to see/hear Slash playing the Godfather theme...

i feel that while he's certainly not an exceptional guitarist, he's certainly a very talented writer.

and when he's paired up with other like-minded artists (see Myles Kennedy), i feel that his abilities are certainly noticeable.

as to Chinese Democracy. i personally hate this album. i can't really explain why. it's not because i miss the old line-up as i wasn't that big a fan of them either.

i suppose it all boils down to personal taste.

i would personally love to see Slash and Duff either keep doing what they are doing or find VR another vocalist.

Chinese Democracy was a complete waste of time. Songs like Welcome to the Jungle were supposedly written in just a few hours, yet CD took like 15 years to write that P.O.S.

Slash is more image than talent. That's like, my opinion. Man.
