Addiction is one of the hardest battles to win against, having seen many people close to me suffer. I think it makes today's analysis even more poignant. Scott Weiland's struggles course straight through his lyrics and delivery, which is why I think I'm so drawn to his sound. "Slither" by Velvet Revolver here is such a profound delivery of that message, and I hope y'all agree.

This is the first single from Velvet Revolver's debut album, Contraband. In an interview with Scott Weiland, he talked about this song's meaning. Said Weiland: "The lyrics are about a relationship.

I can't explain how good it was for Guns 'n' Roses fans. after years and years of Axl shenagians, rumors about Chinese Democracy (which I did not like when it eventually released) and the overall trajectory hard rock took during the nineties, when Slither released. Slash, Duff and Matt make a fantastic team and Velvet Revolver was simply amazing.

@tjroelsma Месяц назад

It must have been a rude awakening for Axl that after he'd shown nothing but contempt for the fans and his band members and managed to force them to sign over everything to him, he woke up with all of them gone and thinking that he now WAS GnR, only to see the fans disagreeing. And then came the problems with replacing his former band members, which was one of the main reasons why Chinese Democracy took so long and wasn't the success Axl had hoped. Even though it took him a long time to swallow his pride and pretty much beg the others to return to GnR.

Hey Elizabeth, Tim the guitar player here again with some more insight for you. The screeching you are referring to in the beginning are a techniques called 'pick scrapes', which is exactly what it sounds like, just scraping the side of the pick along the guitar strings. Here there are using more quick jabbing types to give it a more jarring sound. The revving sound you mentioned is just a glissando as the guitarists slide their fingers along the fretboard of the guitar, sliding up and down the notes throughout the range of movement with their finger(s). The interesting thing here is that, because of the effects and guitar tone, including distortion, are what make it sound so pronounced giving it that extra 'revving' sound. So, on guitar tone... well, now you have opened a BIG can of worms. There are many things that guitarists do to try and achieve different guitar tones and timbre of their guitar tone. There are so many different elements of this that are often argued upon by guitarists and sound engineers on which are valid ones, and other are just 'guitar sales hype'. Another thing of note is that over-adjusting one thing in this chain, may affect the usefulness and expressiveness of the guitar tone, yet this is also arbitrary depending upon the desires of the guitar player, and the musical context in which they are using it at that particular time. There is also am element of a guitar player physicality and playing that is distinct to them that also influences and creates the tone they have while playing guitar, hence 2 different guitar players can play the same guitar and equipment, and sound different. There is so much more I can expand on this, but I was trying to present a detailed enough basic explanation, without it becoming a novella. Ha! On Slash's playing and musicality.... yet he is very good at creating guitar riffs and solos with musical purpose and intention. What Slash is playing here is mainly from the blues musical style, that has become the basis for rock music and guitar players. The thing that most people don't know is that Slash actually has a very full understanding of the true blues musical style, more so than most guitar players, and has come you figure out how to use it in a distinct rock music context, even though he is playing a lot of rock guitar cliches that a lot of rock guitar players use. There is a video of him playing with the guitar player, Les Paul,, at Les's club from year ago where Slash demonstrate his deep understanding of actually blues music and styles. Most guitar players can recognize this in this video. BTW, if you want to hear another guitar player, who write mainly instrumental guitar music, for comparison on hearing melodies and tones on guitar, I suggest my favorite.... Joe Satriani.... and I will start by suggesting a couple of different songs. First I would suggest the album 'Surfing With The Alien', which this album alone would broaden your mind of what sounds can actually be produced by a guitar player, and the songs, 'Surfing With the Alien' and 'Always With Me, Always With You'. His next album, 'Flying In A Blue Dream' does have him singing on a couple of tracks, but I would recommend the songs, 'Flying In A Blue Dream', 'The Forgotten part 2'. Then lastly I would recommend 'Summer Song' from his next album, The Extremist'. Listening to Joe will definitely expanding your sonic understanding of the guitar, and when you actually look into hist history and see all the successful player of today, that were students of his, you will understand why. Cheers, Tim

Tim, Thank you for the additional information. I had no idea the revving sound was done on the guitar. That’s wild how many different sounds can be created. GnR fan.

@edelcorrallira 27 дней назад

That to me is what makes Slash so great... I often see him being hailed for his chops but Jeff Beck, Satch, MAB, etc could wipe the floor with him in that regard. Or that his bluesmanship is top shelf, next in line to the three Kings... but again Samantha Fish, Kingfish, etc can brew up some downright soulful yet deliciously nasty blues that goes far beyond his reach. But... What Slash does is he brings a melodic ebb and flow, an incredible use of tension and release, extraordinary expression and a unique blend of tonal palates that somehow retains a unique personality. With this he elevates a song to greater heights than other wise possible. Turning an otherwise great piece into an actual masterwork. In my mind this is much more important. Yeah his top hat is cool, and he does play a mean blues and can play pretty darn fast... But it's his absolutely commanding expression and just raw energy that take a great piece of music and elevate it to a transcendental experience. All that technique and vocabulary are great to learn because if you're careful and nurture them properly you may have more options to express yourself. Eddie Van Halen was another master and he had his own toolkit, so it's good to have options, and perhaps some of these will allow you to truly express yourself. I think of Slash with regards to Bird, or any of the other truly greats. Can he play guitar while blindfolded , riding a motorcycle on a tightrope and nodding at a different time signature? I doubt it, but can play something that will knock your socks off and make your life better just for experiencing it? surprisingly yes and pretty much consistently. To me that is what you wish to do in any art form, convey your message and man can he express himself I don't think he's like David Gilmour, but neither is Eric Clapton or was Chick Corea, that doesn't make them or David Gilmour bad it just makes them unique. The world is better for this.

@vinniedixon1140 Месяц назад

That bass at the start is fire, Duff McKagan is such an underrated bass player. If you want to see him at his best then I highly recommend Rocket Queen by Guns N Roses, Live in Tokyo 1992 as Duff absolutely kills it on bass. As for Velvet Revolver, I couldn't wait to hear their first album with it being Slash, Duff and Matt from GNR along up with Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots. Scott was perfect for this band on vocals but unfortunately his drug habit got the better of him which led to the demise of the band after just two albums and also the demise of Scott. Velvet Revolver really could've been one of the best rock bands. FYI, Slash wears the dark glasses as he can't look at a crowd for more than a few seconds, gives him stage fright otherwise.

About 'guitar appreciation': I'm a bassist, so as tradition requires and our Esoteric Guild of Mind Control Through Low Ends demands, know pretty much squat about Musical Theory (and Real Musicians will back me up on that last one). Once cleared, I think regarding guitar it all boils down to the contrast of Technique vs. Feeling. It's a bit of Romanticism vs. Baroque, more or less; I call it (pause for breath), The Satriani-Malmsteen Dichotomy. For me it's more important WHAT sensation and feelings the notes convey, rather than how fast possible thay can be played. Lately Slash has been growing on me in this sense; not how much he can shred, but how precise and well colocated are those notes. Exaltation of the senses and I insist, the feelings. I guess you can call me a Romantic, but I'll deny it in any Court of Law.

Scott's versatility is so understated! It's no wonder he was such a commodity. Wore his influences on his sleeves, approached so many stylings across a broad spectrum and made it look so easy. Most eclectic body of work of a singer from the grunge era, imo! Tracing his vocal evolution is a trip worth taking. I still wish we could have gotten a proper Doors x Weiland tour, the one-off show we glimpsed of that was magic. Left field request, I'd love to see you take on the music video to Ninja Sex Party's "Danny Don't You Know". Because dreams do come true and it's nice to remember it's never too late to hit your stride in life.

I’m so glad you’re getting into Velvet Revolver one of the best bands that Slash put together. I would not consider this grunge however this is just straight up rock ‘n’ roll my dear and it’s so damn good! It truly sucks that Scott Weiland could not break his habit. Because I wish they could’ve put out many more albums.

I loved grunge from day 1. It was guys my age making music and taking over the scene. The rock influences from earlier decades and the introspective lyrics were so relatable to those of us in our 20s at the time. I was lucky enough to be living in the Seattle area during the height of it all.

Never really listened to this band back then. I grew up as a young teen listening to GnR, and as an older teen listening to STP. Velvet Revolver's first album came out a couple of years after Layne Staley has passed. Seeing this music video back then, I couldn't help but see Weiland here on the edge of self destruction. I just couldn't fathom losing another voice at the time, so I just set it aside for a later time in my life to listen to. Maybe now I can hear it with a little time inflicted wisdom on my side. A reminder to be grateful for this life.

Would absolutely LOVE to see your reaction to Velvet Revolver's 'Fall To Pieces', especially the music video that goes along with it. It's so beautifully dark, and is a statement to Scott's life. That song will go down in history for me, as one of the most artistic pieces of music that spoke to the era it was made in and the struggles of those within that era. I'd also love to see you react to Scott's first band, Stone Temple Pilots. If you have already and I haven't happened across it yet, let me know. Please take care, and thanks for making this Monday a little brighter. I live on the east coast and there's a lot of flooding right now, but this video made my whole day ^_^

Still waiting for a vocal analysis of Paul McCartney, post Beatles. I'd love to hear you analyze his vocals on such songs as "Call Me Back Again", "Beware My Love", "Live and Let Die", and "Soily" from the live album "Wings Over America". McCartney in his prime was a vocal monster.

@stehill6543 29 дней назад

You absolutely need to listen to "Fall to Pieces". I love your comments on Slash. Technically, he is a very solid player but the feel of his playing is next level. His solos always hit precisely when they need to and go on for the right amount of time. I have never listened to a solo from GnR, VR or his solo stuff and thought "that was too much " or "not enough", they are always satisfying and exactly what the song needed.

Love Slither. ❤ Also Fall to Pieces. Scott was also in Stone Temple Pilots (great name btw). I recommend the album Core. If you’re deep diving into grunge, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden are a must. I recommend the Superunknown album. Also earlier tracks Outshined and Rusty Cage. Definitely want to join the grunge class. I lived through it so I’d love to hear your perspective. Elizabeth, may I just say you are delightful to watch. You’re so expressive, knowledgeable and funny. The way you explain things really resonates with me. And I often giggle at terms like “mouth ninja” that you come up with. I love it! ❤😂 The first song I saw you cover was Korn’s Freak on a Leash and I’ve been hooked ever since.

@jkg5215 25 дней назад

I really recommend watching " Set Me Free" by VR when they perform Live TV 2008 for Germany. You can see/hear a lot of his vocal changes change to suit the song. It's really amazing. A lot of people say his voice degraded from all the screams, but he gets this tone at 1:19 in the video which I think really upgrades the heavy sound of Velvet Revolver. So if it did degrade, it degraded with absolute style which is VERY Scott❤. Also his voice just upgrades GNR's " It's so Easy" I think Axl's is flat compared to Scott's which just feels more alive. Cool comparison video if you want to check that out as well ❤. Really enjoy your videos, because you take a lot more into consideration.

Slashes guitar tone is the classic Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall Amp using a wah wah pedal for his solo's.

@docproc144 6 дней назад

I’ve always thought that conceptually if you could build the perfect rock band from the ground up, starting from scratch, then Velvet Revolver is what you’d come up with. Each of these guys individually was a pillar of talent in their own right, but the fact that all of them came together to form one band is almost unbelievable. Velvet Revolver is the very definition of the term “supergroup.” It’s like somebody built a stacked fantasy team of 80s and 90s rock stars.

@danhurley2274 20 дней назад

Thanx for this great reaction/analysis of Slither! I remember hearing Slither when it was first released on radio and I couldn't wait for the album. I recognized Slash's guitar work right away. I then won a trip to the grand opening of the new Hard Rock Cafe on Broadway in NYC with Velvet Revolver playing live!! I watched them with my jaw on the floor for the whole show. I was 20 feet from the stage in front of Slash. They played Velvet Revolver, Guns 'N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots tracks including Slither. Just an amazing show.

@julianandres4595 28 дней назад

I love the way Elizabeth shows us her emotions. I definitely like this channel a lot since I discovered it, but I would like Elizabeth's reaction to "Civil War" by Guns And Roses. That beautiful song should be high on her list of reactions. It's my favorite song of theirs. Its lyrics, its melody, those emotions expressed by Axel Rose, need to be heard by Elizabeth. I recommend the studio version, I love it. But, if you want another option I would recommend the Live in Tokyo (1992) or Live in the Ritz (1991). Thanks a lot. 🙏🏻
