D-GenerationX Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I was hoping to learn any info about the rehearsals when i come to this thread. Instead, another Dj Ashba sucks/Slash copy thread. Excellent. Maybe we can rename this section. DJ ASHBA SUCKS DISCUSSION AND NEWS ABOUT HIS CURRENT STATUS AT SUCKING. Agreed. Its tiresome at this point. Long past that point, actually.

Cosmo Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 We all agree about DJ sucking and the band being stuck in brain-dead mode so there's no need to transform any more threads into a "let's take a moment to reflect on how fucked up this band is right now" thread. On topic, one week of rehearsals might mean one or two new old songs like Yesterdays or Out Ta Get Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If they rehearsed in la, now they are going to mexico to rehearse anyone think the LA sessions were with Axl? No point in him going down for a week if they just needed to rehearse for a day or so.Good theory. I'd buy into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, for good or for worse, GNR is alive and well.Also after seeing and hearing Dj live he don't suck at all. But i will always prefer Robin, Bucket, Izzy, Slash in that order.Don't buy the one week only rehearsals, we don't know for sure. And certainly with almost no info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If they play Yesterdays, two things would kill Axl : probably a not up to the task at all voice, and the brutal irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just touring music written by other versions of the band. Touring the classics.If this band was recording together, releasing albums or at least playing new songs live - then people wouldn't say they were brain dead mode or just a touring band or a nostalgia act.Brain dead mode means rehearse for a couple days and then tour all the old songs, most of which most of the band had no hand in writing.

maynard Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If you don't consider this band brain dead, with a record of 15 songs released in 20 years, I'm curious to know your definition of brain dead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 By any objective standard, this is not much of a band. Its a touring band that does Guns N' Roses tunes behind Axl Rose. The current crop has been in place since 2009 and have yet to write a note together. And Ron tells us we can actually take that further back to 2006, when he joined. If that is your definition of "alive and well", you are one liberal grader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Some people are too deep in "thanks beta by take care of Axl" mode to see not even the bandmembers are satisfied with the band. I mean... Look at this years's status: THEY ARE BORED AS HELL. Tommy is touring with the replacements and might not play in Fortaleza or Recife or whatever, Richard is having more fun in the Dasies than in Guns N' Roses, it's like a release from his work in Guns N' Roses. Bumble is obviously bored and frustrated and seems more opmistic with A.L.I.V.E. than with Guns N' Roses and even Ashba's focusing on Sixx AM.

Go off on tangents and make personal attacks while avoiding the actual topic.....nice tactic I guess.If I keep my responses to you narrowed down to just 2-3 sentences, maybe that will help you be able to comprehend them?By signing off, I take it you aren't going to tell me how my statement was actually wrong...... If you don't consider this band brain dead, with a record of 15 songs released in 20 years, I'm curious to know your definition of brain dead.Exactly!!!!And you kept that down to one sentence. Hopefully Russell will be able to understand it.By any objective standard, this is not much of a band. Its a touring band that does Guns N' Roses tunes behind Axl Rose.The current crop has been in place since 2009 and have yet to write a note together. And Ron tells us we can actually take that further back to 2006, when he joined.If that is your definition of "alive and well", you are one liberal grader.Seems everybody but Russell understands this obvious point.

Irony didn't seem to bother him playing 'Scraped'.You could have also said 14 Years.But playing Yesterdays while embracing the Dying Jukebox Tour path is mindblowing.

Bumble is obviously bored and frustrated and seems more opmistic with A.L.I.V.E. than with Guns N' Roses and even Ashba's focusing on Sixx AM.I was surprised by that "nobody's too precious" comment from Fortus, he's the last member I pictured getting upset/having a dig at Axl since I figured he saw himself as a touring member/session musician from day one.

Val22 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think the song Yesterdays was about the state of the original GNR.Listen to the lyrics. You can tell Axl was figuring out that this band didn't have long in staying together.Anyone that knew the original GNR were not surprised that they broke up. Some people were surprised that they lasted as long as they did.It was too overwhelming for all of them and they didn't know how to handle it and evidently didn't have good enough people to help them through all the shit.Luckily they all lived to be older and hopefully wiser, but I think they would all agree it's best they went their separate ways. Everyone has regrets, but don't live in the past. It doesn't help anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question, don't issue a warning or ban me.You guys are human it's normal to make bad judgments. The right thing to do is admit it and then move along.There is a bias when it comes to you guys' precious "Slash"...let's not beat around the bush here.
