[@187jacktheripper]

I hate when people say "I play guitar and so and so's music is so much harder to play than Slash's and so and so is faster than slash". You know what I say to that? What does that have to do with anything? Who cares about speed? Who cares about who's more difficult to play? It's all about creativity. You can be the fastest guitarist in the world, that doesn't mean that you can create iconic, timeless riffs and solo's like Slash has. It's Slash's mind that makes him the best in my opinion. Plus, the emotion that he has, is the best I've ever seen as well.

[@samle1801]

The kids just dont get it. Speed and complication are just pieces of cake to a point. It's about how, when to pick the strings that matter; and only a heart can tell.

[@187jacktheripper]

Sam Le Exactly. People are morons!

[@greekfreak1980]

Quote from Marty Friedman that every last one of these guys should memorise,'' Give me enough time and I can teach everybody how to do sweep picking. Having great technique doesn't mean that you're a great musician,WRITING SONGS makes you a musician.''

[@El3men12]

You are not giving Slash enough credit for his technical ability. The man basically has it all. Shit, there's enough evidence for his technical ability in this song alone.

[@187jacktheripper]

Collin DeVries I agree with you. Absolutely! I think he's the best too.

[@ewanharrison4721]

The guitar riff is fucking awesome!

[@abhithapa7346]

I bet he gets that from his mother's side.

And he also can make an electric Gibson sound like a spanish guitar.

[@shbhmsxn4]

I like how he plays one of the greatest (not to mention insanely difficult) riffs of all time and then just goes back to the rhythm as if nothing happened.

[@m.kellyop8508]

Anyone still listening to this masterpiece???

[@raythemanroe]

It's the sound, the bending and how he gets so much out of it. He doesn't sound like a machine snapping off notes, he makes the thing sing. It's called talent children

[@1eternalpysche]

Yeah Just So Beautiful with the Emotion Goin into It!!!!!

[@josefranciscodepaula7105]

Blood red sky on a desert road Gotta make my way down to Mexico For what I did I know that it was wrong The fire in my heart, it will never die Everything I love will be left behind No turning back, forever gone tonight All my love Anastasia, Anastasia This may be our last goodbye You can't save me, I am fading Blood is on my hands tonight All I need is a miracle Lawmen got me running now forever more They'll hunt me down until the end of time Oh my mama, now I've got to go Never love another how I've loved you so I'm so afraid to leave this all behind All my love Anastasia, Anastasia This may be our last goodbye You can't save me, I am fading Blood is on my hands tonight All my love Anastasia, Anastasia This may be our last goodbye You can't save me, I am fading Blood is on my hands tonight Anastasia, Anastasia For your honor took a life You can't save me, I am fading Blood is on my hands tonight

[@tormikkelsen1579]

I absolutely love this song and slash is one of the best guitar players in the world. Thumbs up for Slash.

[@thiagodemelo8993]

I totally see a blend of Civil War's intro, Welcome to the Jungle verse, November Rain 3rd solo and Double Talkin' Jive ending theme ... it felt almost like a tribute to Slash's career and TBH, as a fan of GNR, total idol of Slash, who inspired me to play guitar and actually made of me the only musician in my whole family, hell, I love this song! and Kennedy and The Conspirators do a bloody great job!!! THE SPIRIT OF HARD ROCK IS HERE!

[@hanstudio2100]

You’re damn right

Slash proves he added at least 51% to GNR with this song

[@Nahiyan12]

Afterall, GNR is a band - it's all those members combined.

[@Joe-fd4qo]

True. They sucked when he wasn't with them.

[@eddieshredder5740]

Slash wrote welcome to the jungle, paradise city, rocket queen, civil war, don't damn me, locomotive and coma plus the riff to Sweet child and all those memorable solos in November rain, don't cry etc I think 85% is closer to his real contribution to guns.

[@konrione5349]

@@eddieshredder5740 If you had to replace all the members in GNR except for slash, it wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't be 85% GNR

[@eddieshredder5740]

@@konrione5349 Slash created the gnr sound with his greasy, slimy mix of gutsy, loose, blues based riffing and classical melodic ideas as demonstrated on songs where the other key gnr writers Axl n Izzy weren't present. Songs such as Slither, Anastasia, Fall to pieces and the whole of his snakepit album. He wrote the bulk of the hits on appetite so if Axl n Izzy were replaced, you'd still have that signature appetite sound because of slash.

[@nmysights0185]

I love how Slash puts so much emotion into his playing, yet his face is always super serious and stoic.

[@Mulerider4Life]

Gosh this is a great song. Glad my coworker told me about Slash's solo career with Myles. I hope they play together as long as Slash is playing guitar. Love Myles voice with the band.
