Re: 2024 “Taking Off”
I’m indifferent to it. If nobody ever made a big deal about it I wouldn’t even notice.
Re: 2024 “Taking Off”
Hot take: I liked the "duelling solos" bit in Sympathy for the Devil.
Me too. Always felt Slash let his ego get in the way on that thing. Obviously Tobias was a decent player who could contribute both guitars and write songs for the band, and low key enough to not take any spotlight from Slash.
Apparently Slash had no issue trying out with Zack Wylde. That would definitely never have worked!

I thought that the Wylde/Slash thing was a bit of a disaster, wasn't it? Since the pair of them were at it like "A T-Rex and a giant anaconda."
Meanwhile, Slash now has no problem playing with Fortus, who takes more solo spots than any rhythm guitarist he's worked with before. He really was daft to blow up over Tobias, since Axl was pretty much proved right on that score; he was Chinese Democracy's Izzy, in the sense that he was arguably Axl's main co-writer for that album.
Re: 2024 “Taking Off”
Axl has himself to blame though. To enforce his legal rights and end the old band in 1995 was a really stupid move. It was supposed to be an insurance for him, in case they broke up, instead he used it to usurp the whole band. Of course Slash was pissed off at that and used every opportunity to stick it to Axl afterwards.

Atlas/Monsters vinyl and few spot shows. That's my speculation for 2024.
Re: 2024 “Taking Off”
Speaking of Izzy, I just looked at the credits for the song Chinese Democracy on Apple Music….Tobias is an arranger and lo and behold….Izzy Stradlin is a composer!
I had to check it out, just for laughs, and he also credited on SOD, If the world , Scraped & Riad!
Checked spotify, they got it right
