Nice to see....
Just a shame that tickets for last night's gig were being given away for free! |
I went to the first night - free tickets from the guy I know at the label - I was about 10 foot away from the stage. Awesome view.
Seb Bach ****ing rocked. GNR werent bad but lets face it - its not GNR is it! |

I think it is a shame. That would be a reunion tour to end all reunion tours. |
Goddamit, I was there the night before!!!! :mad:
And I wasn't massively into it to be honest. But Duff would have really made it for me! |
I remember reading a blurb in Hit Parader magazine (remember when you read rock magazines?) about this up-and-coming band called Guns N Roses. They had a lot of potential, but were in danger of being done in by their hard-partying lifestyle--an appetite for SELF-destruction, as it were.
I've taken to referring to them as "the greatest rock band that should have been." |
Was tempted to go down as I was in the area, but after Axl turned up nearer midnight the last time I saw them I decided to give it a miss and get more pissed instead. Shame, cos I like Chinese Democracy.

Axl already played with Izzy (2006) and Duff (2010), and went to a stripclub with Steven Adler (2006). But he will never play with Slash again. That's because Slash bashes Axl when it's interesting and praises when it's interesting. He's a liar, a music prostitute. That's why.
Duff's not. Duff is a musician that sticked to his roots and didn't sold himself playing with a bunch of popstars (Justin Bieber, Pussycat Dolls, Black Eyed Peas, among others). I'm not saying this is the reason why Axl played with Duff and won't play with Slash. I'm just saying that this is one of the main differences between them. Axl didn't have any problem with Duff before, and Duff only sued Axl because what they were fighting for was something that Duff helped to make, it was his right. But Slash... Axl always had problems with him. Slash would give anything to play with Axl Rose again. |

Get Duff AND Izzy and at least you're partly there and it would still be something special to see.
I've always said A full G'n'R reunion will happen someday, just not now, they still need to get to the point where they are old enough to be too old for anyone to care about them without each other..... |

Learn to read and don't live just in your own head trying to argue against statements that weren't made. There was a band there, not just Axl and Slash. |

Now if i misunderstood you, well so what. The person that posted before said that Slash needs Axl, and then you posted about how he has no idea who the talent was in the band, obv implying that Axl was not as talent as the rest. I mean if Slash and Duff and hell even matt, were the majority of the talent behind the band then shouldnt Velvet Revolver have released albums as good as Guns N' Roses did? I'm just saying you have to give the devil his due |
Aloha !

Recent generations have made GnR into legend, attempting to put them on par with The Doors and Led Zeppelin. It's just pathetic really. |

And Contraband is a decent record anyway. Best regards, the Sexx |

I really don't want to see a reunion from them. It would be the same deal as KISS.... making the cash grab... not a band putting their chemistry to work and creating. I don't enjoy watching bands where they are on that stage thinking "God, I hate this f*cker." You pick up on that negative energy. |
I was always leaning partially to Izzy's songs.....
|
If you look down the writing credits for Appetite, it's pretty clear that in Musical terms, Izzy had the most influence over the band's early sound.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appetite_for_destruction Though to try and single out one member as "the most talented" seems ****ing ridiculous*. They were the right five people, at the right time to create something that really mattered to people and have an impact. Purist couldn't be more wrong, or more patronising, with his suggestion that GnR's success, and November Rain in particular, was due to MTV hype preventing people from exercising their crtitical faculties. People *loved* that band, it spread through word of mouth and it mattered in a way it's hard to picture today's bands ever achieving. That it wasn't down to hype is proven by the simple fact that the song has *lasted* and still has power today. * Clearly Axl |

I'm fully aware of what the deal was. I knew of the band before Appetite was even released and was paying attention when Welcome to the Jungle made it's rounds while most ignored it until Sweet Child O Mine took off. Welcome became known by most when it got a second chance from MTV following Sweet Child. |
Guns N' Roses are history, Appetite is a classic and their only great album.
I just wish they'd all disappear and stop annoying my ears. |

UYI are great albums, and I didn't get sucked into anything, as I wasn't even born when they were released. However, The spagetti incident is 10x more terrible than the worst Bon Jovi album. I still don't consider CD to be Guns N Roses, but an Axl solo record. |
Quote:
I also reckon "Chinese Democracy" is a classic...it was never going to be able to live up to the hype, but if you forget the hype and listen to the album on it's merits it is brilliant. |
I bought the UYI albums on morning of release in 91
At the time I thought they were the dogs dangly bits. Now nearly 20 years later I think there is a lot of average songs on - but still great albums. I think they put too many songs on there and could have come up with a 16 song classic double album instead on 2 albums with 30 songs. Appetite.......I dont need to say anything best debut album of all time. GNR Lies was also amazing. Axl originally wanted to make UYI a 30 song 1 album released in a box set broke down into 4 mini albums but the label refused saying it would cost a fortune. The main difference was the rawness of AFD and the polished UYI. I thouht the raw sound suited GNR much better - it was as if they had about 6 hours to record AFD. The polished sound was strange as the UYI were bloated and over produced. |
i like both UYI records but as someone said earlier, if cut into one disc it would have rivaled appetite. there are some real gems on them discs but some fillers too.
on another note, i see dj ashba has claimed the band will start recording their next album very soon. wit should see the light of day by 2025. |
