ManetsBR Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Around the same time Robin left GNR, John left the Chilli Peppers. I think Axl missed a great opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.No serious musician would join NuGNR at this point.This though. There's no way in hell that somebody like Frusciante would touch Axl's travelling circus with a shitty bargepole at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I think that would have been cool. John is a great guitarist. I don't know much about him as a person though or why he left the rhcp so maybe there are reasons that he wouldn't have fit the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 When it comes to his solo material John Frusciante is absolutely amazing. One of the best artists of his generation. His solo material blows RHCP material outta the water in terms of quality and creativity in my opinion. It would've been an absolute shame had he joined Guns N Roses and been left to rot. Did Axl miss his chance. Fuck yeah he did but I'm so glad that never happened for John's sake.John Frusciante >>>>>> Guns N Roses post 1993 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It is irrelevant. The greatest musicians on the planet could have joined and it wouldn't have mattered a damn. For whatever reason Axl seems incapable of releasing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno P. Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The greatest musicians on the planet could have joined and it wouldn't have mattered a damn. For a second I thought you'd be claiming that he's the greatest musician on the planet but yeah, I get your point which is, sadly, correct.

ARBeast Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 One day I went on the GNR wiki page, and it said he was named the new guitarist. But this was a couple of months before Ashba got hired.Anyways, I think Frusciante would have quit by now. He doesn't need the paycheck nor is he a yes man.

Rdeyahlxp Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 John hated the fame aspect of music. Watch that 1994 documentary when he's strung out on heroin and you'll see. He's kinda like Cobain except for the fact he didn't die, so I doubt he would've liked Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 FFS, seriously? Frusciante is an artist, not a hack, how the hell would he fit into Team Gingerwig's cash grab extravaganza? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I love Frusciante, but he wouldn't fit GNR. So it's better for both that their path's haven't crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doakes Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Aside from Neil Young, Axl and John Frusciante are my favorite musicians-- period.John would never have accepted-- considering he left RHCP to get out of the spot light. If it had happened I personally think that Axl and John could have made music transcendent or at least on par to any of their respective hits.Who knows how well they know each other these days but I would like to think that the two could could collaborate outside of GNR in the futureCould you imagine though if John had returned at the turn of the last decade with nugnr?

dalsh327 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 He ran his course with the RHCPs, and maybe down the road he'll meet up with them again and do something. After Stadium Arcadium, that was the best way to make an exit with them - but It's like wondering if Dave Navarro missed an opportunity by not joining GNR and he was asked twice.

alfierose Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I hate saying this but nobody who is a well established musician has missed out on anything by not joining GnR up to this point. Maybe if the next release is a belter they might think what if but sadly the truth is GnR does not run to a schedule that most musicians would be happy with. I think the music is great when it arrives, I love CD, but I doubt it would be enough for the top names as history has sadly proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
