Axl gets a lot of slack for his vocal performance, but in reality that is out of his control. When he does sing good he still does it to perfection.

Slash on the other hand is all over the place. Sometimes brilliant, other times meh. His guitar playing on this track is lacking. Tone is weak, solo is uninspired. I have not heard a good solo from his since the VR days.

That certainly is a take. His solo and playing is the best part of this song in my opinion.

Todd Kerns recently mentioned on an Insta post that SMKC5 would come out in 2026, so if GNR are going to do something, 2025 is the window to do it.

What’s the chances that we get the next SMKC album before the new GNR album though. I’d say that’s a safe bet.

That would make it what, 3 SMKC albums since the reunion? Almost more albums than GnR has released songs.
