Re: New Slash - Theme from “Love Story”
It's so-so for me.... saw on another forum some saying it's "classic Slash playing and tone".
To me it sounds far from that - the playing sounds very reminiscent of a lot of his noodling on the NITL tour albeit with a more structured melody. The fluidity of his playing seems to have abandoned him...
The intro sounds like his guitar is a bit out of tune and I find the tone for the most part to be very cold and sterile sounding.
Perhaps I'm being overly critical....
For my money, his tone post-Guns was best on the solo album with different vocalists from 2010...

Re: New Slash - Theme from “Love Story”
Instrumental Slash doesn’t do it for me. I remember hearing about how Watch This was the greatest post-GNR output from anybody (ok probably hyperbole). Slash needs a frontman. Not surprising that the three most successful acts he’s been in are GnR with Axl, VR with Scott, and the Conspirators with Myles. While I dig Snakepit, it’s no surprise they did nothing without an appropriate frontman.

Rod Jackson destroys Myles as a frontman. The music just wasn't commercial enough for the radio.
Re: New Slash - Theme from “Love Story”
I'm at the point now where whenever any GN'R member releases a solo thing, all I think is - what about a new GN'R release?
It's become the elephant in the room now. Since the reunion both Slash and Duff have done a solo release each. Now Slash has another due out in 2021. This would all be fine but the expectation has been set that there will be new Guns music at some point - if so, where is it? At the least where is some news on it?
If there isn't going to be any new Guns songs for the next few years or ever, that is also fine IF they actually say something about it. Having Slash and Duff do interviews the past year or two saying something is actually in the works and having Duff's wife on podcasts talking about it just makes it feel like fans are being led on.

This is all on Axl. Very embarrassing
