You failed to address the other two songs.icecab21 wrote:There was a time just has standard melodic guitar, not sure how that’s diverse and outside of anything guns and roses had done before or outside their areas of genre that they have previously touched with slash. It’s done well, but it’s not the genre diversity that I was thinking about.
But, no. Let's look at 4 songs.
Shackler's Revenge, If the World, Sorry, and There was a Time. All four heavily featured Buckethead. Those four songs, taken in context from each other, are HUGELY diverse. maybe TWAT is more melodic guitar, but it is very diverse from the other 3 songs I listed. That diversity did not exist on previous Guns records, or anything Slash did post Guns.
