Ultimate Classic Rock on Fortus, Dizzy, Frank and Pittman. responses


Recommended Posts

Watch as the tickets sell out in 0.5 seconds regardless of a vocal minority.

THIS!

yeah, a lot of people miss Izzy and Adler, but a lot of people will be curious and ends up in one of the shows....

the only thing that could really fucked up this reunion is Axl's voice... most of my random friends whom saw the articles about the reunion repeatedly post the Axl Rose disasters or one of the fataxl meme's...

Lot of them only started paid attention to Axl recently again after 10-12 years

Seems like the crucial point is not izzy or adler,but Axl's image and voice...

It good definitely work without Adler and Izzy. It would be incredible with them though and I would argue they are more important than Duff...

The major issues I see are

Axl's voice - Hoping for the best

Franks Drumming - Maybe Slash and Duff can teach him how the songs are supposed to be played.

Pittman - He kills the spirit of great rock songs..

Then you look at the stage with 7 or 8 guys running around.. Most of which weren't even on any of the classic Guns albums.. Circus..

Frank's drumming is just fine, i would say he plays with more groove than Matt. Of course that the Brownstone intro was played correctly when Steven was in the band, but the majority of songs Frank's drumming is ok. Brent Fitz could be a better choice, but that's not on the table.... I don't think that masses could go home if they hear Frank's playing,lol

Pittman is pretty much inaudible, so who cares? I've only hear complaints about him in the forums. Maybe because the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about him, he is just another dude on the stage, nobody cares

The UYI tour was a circus too and people liked it...

I agree that people need to stop bitching and complaining. This is fantastic news, I never thought that Slash and Axl would be onstage again. I lost all hope after the Rock n Roll hall of fame debacle. What people fail to understand is that this group have always been dis functional and a revolving door of musicians. It's the way it was and its now going to be that way again. I have followed this band from the start and was excited as hell to see them in 1992 without Izzy and I'll be excited to see them now without him. I'd prefer he's there, but I honestly believe it's his choice not to be. We all know he and Axl were on good terms way before he and Duff were. It stands to reason that he still is. Izzy has always been reclusive, even more than Axl. Let's just see where this goes. I would think Izzy and Steven would show up and make some appearances, that's good enough for me. Let's just hope this whole thing doesn't blow up and they can actually get along and make some new music. It's time for all us fans who have been putting up with all this distinctionality for decades to sit back, relax and enjoy.

Well, boo hoo...

It's gonna be Axl, Slash and Duff on the same stage first time since 1993. If you're not satisfied with that, stay home. Simple as that. This re-grouping is a dream come true, from a fan's point of view. In my opinion anyway. I mean, who would have thought it would ever happen? And yet, people are still bitching? I don't care about that kind of negativity.

Of course everybody are entitled to their opinions, but... I don't know. It's easy to bitch about things on the internet. People should be more positive.

That is the point.. A lot of people are staying home and it isn't a dream come true for most people.. This thing could have been huge..I am a fan.. I have been waiting for 23 years to see Guns N' Roses again.. This isn't it.. This still resembles NuGnR more than anything esle... It will also sound more like NuGnR than than anything else..

I don't think has to be the original 5 or bust but to have the original members outnumbered onstage just doesn't work.. Chris Pittman.. Just doesn't work... And unless Frank sucks it up and plays the songs like they should be played.. He doesn't work..

You can bet your ass over half the people bitching on FB and the rest of the net will be the first ones trying to score themselves tickets. People are just stupid , they bitch for the sake of just having SOMETHING to bitch about.

People will be showing up to these shows regardless. Especially if they do this in the summer, that's the easiest time to get crowds.

Also, anything that gets broadcast professionally that will end up on youtube needs to be top notch performances by Axl and the band. That will sell the tickets to any doubters.

For all the people that say no one outside this board cares who is in the band aside from Axl and Slash.. Here are all the comments from the Ultimate Classic Rock article on who the rest of the band is. Copied from facebook and I didn't cherry pick replies.

Anyting other than the five above-mentioned musicians will come as a disappointment, and something I would never pay to see. The five originals- no more, no less...that's what I'll pay my hard-earned money for.

Mike McFarland This is NOT Guns n' Roses and it's why I gave up on these guys a long time ago ... everything Axl Rose is involved in is a farce. He WILL manage to f#%k this up too. I saw the original lineup in 1987 and 1988 and I'm glad I did, but I wouldn't spend a dime on them anymore, because it would just lead to another disappointment.

Juan Beaner Canales One of the issues Slash had was Axl using a racist remarks in the past.Slash being half black didn't agree with Axl views.
Kind of ironic that the drummer of the latest incarnation is black.
