Slash feat. Demi Lovato - "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" (Official Video) 

Are you heading toward "actual songs," played by an 'actual band'? Hold anything artificial and unintelligent?

A real break from all the electronic shit music, the wars shit was actually needed it quite bad !

…a real break from all the pronoun misgendering utter bullsh1ttery…tune!

Oh hell yeah, couldn't agree more!!

Like... good music? ;)

Well, they are nowhere near as good as the original but yeah nice vid, however, Demi Lovato definitely steps it up in the second half, Slash's solo IMHO echos Carlos Santana, one could almost trade them out.

Hey people. Notice this comment. What he's saying is important.

There’s a brief moment as the solo starts and another longer note towards the end. It’s really amazing!

Seriously!!

Yes, yes, yes, oh my!!

Yes

It is called unison harmony.

Best part of a great song

Yeah. That was tight

True

Are u deaf?

Yes auto tune is an amazing type of technology.

​@@umainebearmanShe can hit the hight notes in Live, but you don't Know nothing about her.

@@umainebearman she didn’t use autotone not to mention she performs live and hits these notes with just as much ease. But it’s a compliment that you thought so

@@umainebearman Lol, tell me you know jack shit about studio production without saying it.

@@LucSullaYeah she’s a good singer and yeah they used auto tune.

I keep listening to this with utter amazement!

I really despise it. They could do without and stop ruining the song. It would be awesome without that tech-tric.

☝🏻 Underrated comment on the art of music.

A kicking chemestry few find it. I get mine from ummm I,ll just whistle I love Axl Dad. I wish the 2 artist heaps of blessing. Demi would be great at doing some Janis Joplin covers. Try just a little be harder matches the essence of her generation she don't give up on anything. Slash has opened a door and unleashed some way forgotten lost music. That's why it's lost the world is lost. To it's depth and passion of the hands that feed her.

Damn right - so unbelievably cool!

Fantastic idea to blend her vocal with Slash's solo

Veel plezier

I can't believe she is strong 😊

Ne too

😂😂😂

Got my vote. Let's go Saul...

you should listen to her last album :)

Then you haven’t listened to her very much 🤷🏽‍♀️

It's likely because modern music production doesn't quite offer the same platform for artistic expression as some of the retro stuff does.

If you liked this, you should check out her covers of I will survive, Ain’t no way, don’t go breaking my heart (all are on streaming platforms too). From her own music, you should check out Father, Mr. Hughes, Tell me you love me, stone cold, 4 ever 4 me, dancing with the devil, anyone (and the whole album this song is on tbh)

I've been thinking that for awhile, luckily Slash put the money down to make it happen.

YESSSSS

I’m down for that

Yes! She nailed that song!

She’s been playing in some kind of alternative punk rock heavy metal type band for a year or so now.

Insanely bad.

@@nerdgiant4101 Sorry to read this, for me this the best interpretation on how Slash transformed the song. Have fun

@@sylvainlafreniere for me her vocals sound like a car crashed into the local animal shelter and ran over all the cats.

@@nerdgiant4101 You wanted a copy cat of the original. Slash interpreted and probably asked her to do same, and she doesn't overdo it. She really took each words as they mean to say what the original doesn't. As a music director in my life this would have been a very strong cover to push. Well I would have lost you, too bad

@@sylvainlafreniere no her singing is awful. Don't tell me what I wanted. I wanted singing that was actually good.

On the killing floor? lol

@@ThSon98 haha yes

Slash rips demi was crap bad mix of you think this is good your one of the reasons good music has lost its way

​@@NIZZ_RAT shhh

That was the best part of the song

🎉🎉🎉🎉

@@ethanpayero efectivamente

*french kiss* beautiful

Hitting Bb5's as if they were nothing

Yeah, that rhythm section kept it tight 👍

As well as the engineering and production crew

Yeah, killer band all around.

Uhm..OK. Really don't think much of her Vocals at all

@@francoislouw181 stop yappin and take your clothes off

@@francoislouw181not sure why, pretty bad take by you. She’s got Power and range.

You're tone deaf then. This is a terrible vocal treatment

There are times when she can be a bit meh... Honestly it really depends on who/what she wants to be that day. This isn't a slight on anyone's gender identity, she can be a she, or a they, or whatever she wants to be. This is just an offhand observation. When she is just "herself" she does have the range and feel.

Try Stone Cold by Demi.

You should check out her cover of Ain’t no way by Aretha, I will survive, Don’t go breaking my heart - the vocals are insane and these are classic songs that I’m sure you’d enjoy. In terms of her own music, you should check out 4 ever 4 me (it interpolates Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls), Father, Stone Cold, Sunset, Unforgettable, Still alive, Every time you lie. Her discography is really really strong, but if you’re not really a big fan of contemporary pop music, I feel like these are great ways to introduce you better to Demi’s abilities. Her first two albums and the latest one (Holy F*ck) are all rock/pop-rock if you’re into the genre. It makes me really happy when people discover Demi’s talent after not paying her too much attention, so I’d really love for you to discover even more of her stuff

If people think Demi Lovato is just another autotuned Disney kid singer, I would highly encourage them to listen to her music. She is highly underrated and deserves more credit and recognition!

Recomendo dancing and devil

Demi y su voz perfecta ❤

Check out her covers of Ain’t no way, You don’t know me (only on RU-vid), every time you lie, ruin the friendship, mr hughes, father, tell me you love me, sunset (her own songs). I feel like you’d enjoy them if you liked this one

can't wait slash combo with dino

I love your awesome vocals too!!!

Exactly

Who’s the rockstars of today then?

Erm, nope!

Mmm, beth Hart, halestorm are way ahead of her, singing Rock both of them would have nailed this song

She doesn’t even know what gender she is 💀 she’s a living, breathing clown

because they dont make music like this now

Cause you're not looking for it. It's still out there. :)

🙌🏻🙌🏻

She was terrible how can you think this is good

Yeah all that auto tune crack addled voice is truly the mark of greatness. 🤮

Not keen on Demi but she’s better than Myles ‘grunge’ Kennedy Great Slash cover

@@NIZZ_RAT Demi does her best, but she´s not a soul musician. Too big a task. This song needs a soulful badass, not a good pop singer. It´s not fair to her either. It is probably because the record company wants this to sell with name like DL.

I know it is an Answered prayer to have this killer combo super happy playing together 😍 I,ve been delighted 🎸🙏🎸 💘💞💞💘💞💘💞💘💞💘💞💘💞

He always does. Glad to know he had his hand in this one.

Should get the original 5 Gunners together with Mike to make a record.

Was thinking same, so. fucking. tasty!!

yes holy shit the drummer the guy captured the whole song in an extraordinary way

Demi is very banal. They are not bad, but they are not well they just not

Absolutely 👍

@@sufyanlowel4631and what are you extraordinary at in order to be the a judge on banality, again ?

@@mattcosta_ oh how sweet. so you say that you have to be a cook to understand that a dish is tasteless. good luck with that🤣

@@mattcosta_ and honey. one more thing. I can judge whatever I want. get used to this, sweetie.

😂

Exactly

Better than axl nowdays

Good stuff 👍🏼

Demi Lovato is amazing, it would be interesting to see people's comments without knowing who is singing, I bet no one would have guessed that Demi Lovato is singing, the song is so good and fresh, Slash knows what he is doing, the team on the album is great, I think that best comes from Slash 👍

She's definitely not a legend lol. She's ok. But she's not even in slashs league

La leyenda viviente es SLASH!!!!!! Ella estuvo genial.....y el la potenció para que brillara

That is a phenomenal performance.

@@justinkassinger8238 I would have prefer Joss Stone.

Joss is on another level.

The lyrics are so close to her actual life it’s crazy

Yes she is singing. It's terrible nails on a chalk board type of sound but what she is doing is classified as singing. She's also ruining. Ruining a classic.

@@umainebearmanagree. She was painful to my ears when she started her shrilling screams. Yuck. Music was right. Wrong singer for this song. IMO

@@tb2324 you should send an email to Slash and ask him to re-record it with a different singer. And make sure to tell him exactly why this was wrong

SANG!!! ❤

Black artist? Just for me 😊

Yes!!

She really Let it Go. 😆

No not even close I heard shit hit the toilet that sounds better than lovato

Yes I so agree

Agreed!

If you think her voice is good then you should never share your opinion on music again. I've heard screaming babies sound better than this chick.

@@NIZZ_RAT and I've seen manure whose opinion matters more than that of a certain wolpetto3458

Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buckethead Robin Trower, Frank Marino, Roy Clark, David Gilmore, blah, blah, blah

Prince
