i am happy to see Slash, Duff and Matt still playing together, but when i listen to Velvet Revolver i always end up comparing with the early Guns and not enjoying the song for what it is.
@gasgunner89 Maybe it's because I've seen real frontmen, but Scott's just okay at best. His voice is okay, but he's not a consistent live singer. And the dancing is distracting at best.
@Xanth016 Mostly you're correct. If you listen to enough of their live videos, you can hear the inconsistency in his voice. And the biggest complaint I've seen on youtube is regarding his sexual preference or his dancing. It's usually a combination of the two. If you enjoy him, please do. I don't want to influence that. But honesty is always a good thing too.
well, the David Letterman crowd is probably not the best crowd to play to. You usually "get" off by the crowd response/interaction, and when they're just sitting there, its not really that motivating to really "give it all".
Scott can sing well and that 'baldy guitarist' is great.
This is the future dude. Sometimes it's better to leave things the way they are for the good of it. Velvet Revolver's happy on it's own and so is GNR.
But here's what I can give you, Axl's already repaired his relationships with EVERY original GNR member including Steven Adler, except Slash.
i think he cannot swallow his pride to reach his hand to slash.. the good thing is slash isn't bitter with the GNR break-up anymore but he refused to have a reunion if huge amount of money is involved just to reform the original band
Nah I meant, Scott can sing. If he couldn't, then why would he be classified as a vocalist. He has a good, powerful voice. Doesn't have to be special but it's recognizable. There was a rumor that Chester Bennington, vocalist of Linkin Park, would become the next vocalist but no, it wasn't true. But he did cover awesome covers with the rest of VR with songs like Paradise City, Highway to Hell. He did good for an alternative rocker.
If I didn't watch this video, I would recognize Slash is playing on this song. He doesn't make much different here or other VR song. It could be another guitarist and the song would sound the same.
Actually it helps put a show. I'm not a VR fan but when I heard this song I didn't recognize Slash on the guitar, but I did recognize the singer. Ultimately, Slash doesn't make much different as the singer does. I meant, if you heard Weiland on a recording it will be much easier to recognize.
hi mate. i aint tryin to be an arse or anything but are you looking at that form a guitarists point of view?? i can tell slash's playing from anyone elses from a mile off. one vr and guns and also all the other stuff he has done. but as i aint a singer or dont pay loads of attention to the vocals i would struggle to pick out scotts voice from the crowd.
yes, just harmonics he does, not a pedal effect. so yes i guess you could call them natural. i just have always heard harmonics, and it is assumed the guitarist does them himself.
this was a heaps good performance of the song. the band sounded heaps tight n stuff. although this song is sooooooooooo mellow compared to their others. i love it though.
oh and matt and duff's harmonised backing vocals sounded wicked at the end =)
scott weiland is not sh$t live you guys...maybe this performance, but the myspace show that they do is unreal...so is the houston texas show. check them out.
this is like his best preformance, in all his other ones hes doin way to much and adding extra vocals and not singing in the right pitch >_> ugh its the worst
I love the albums but scott is a dying man on stage.... slash is dying too.... so is duff. it doesnt look like they r doing what they want.. any1 else agree? ps scott weiland sounds like a dog choking on a rat
I agree dat Scott sounds like shit live, but Slash and Duff are doin pretty good, I honestly like them better when they were in GNR, but they sound pretty good in Velvet Revolver!
