You mean other than the Grammy that Slash and Duff won in Velvet Revolver.

And you mean other than Slash’s multiple charting singles from his 3 solo albums, including “You’re a Lie” and “World on Fire” which both peaked at #1.

And, of course, you mean other than the fact that VR and Slash solo smoked any and everything on Axl’s “Chinese” in sales, plays, and downloads. 

Oh yeah, Slash's snake pit, libetard, and the conspirator albums were such hot sellers. Slash basically had 6 albums that bombed and one that actually did sell. thats quite a batting average to be proud of. CD went platnium only being available in one store and sold about four million worldwide, about the same as contraband Slashs most successful album with out Axl.

Atleast Axl didn't release albums like libertad and aint life grand, those albums were such bombs they should have been dropped from the Enola Gay.

Yes, if in the past you were part of a great band that did all of that.

That makes no sense.

Just cause an artist doesn't fill stadiums or have huge radio hits doesn't mean they are shit.

If this is what you are going by as criteria on music you're missing out on a ton of great artists and bands!

This board is so bio polar sometimes- 

there are some people who take this way too seriously and think their opinions are the only correct ones. this is so untrue, we all have our opinions and even if we DISAGREE with someone else's we should at least respect their right to voice it. some people do not understand this! js...

I mentioned that, just as an item in a larger list of things that make Guns N' Roses one of the most important bands in the world. People who are arguing that Velvet Revolver is in the same league as Guns N' Roses :rofl-lol:...

I dont want to disrespect anyone, but really... they need to drop whatever legal or illegal drugs they are doing (or at least while they are interacting in this forum)

Let me remind you that gnr (axl band for some) sans slash/duff, was a Vegas act , and playing small clubs. CD did not have a hit song, and  flopped doesn't  matter if bb ate the cost.

You made some good points. The fact of the matter Is Axl and his version of Guns N Roses would still be playing to crowds of 4,000-12,000k people along with more "up close and personal" shows Instead of to 35,000-50,000k per night If Slash had not rejoined. The tour numbers do not lie and they have provided all the proof that we need that Slash Is just as Important to Guns N Roses as Axl Is.

How many people did attend the second Metlife show, any guesses?

Was the stadium half empty?

It looked pretty full. Probably 80-90% full.

That's nice to hear that.

A residency is Vegas is supposed to be an insult? Tons of huge international stars do that. Go look at where Slash was playing, how sad is it he had to play in some place call Jiffy Lube Live. How about the 50 person lounges he was playing. Axl was being paid millions of dollars to do private shows for high rollers, Slash was probably being paid in free meals for shit holes he was playing.

 

CD went platinum in countries all over the world, with no promotion and being available in only one store in the US. Slash produced six unquestionable bombs in three different bands. He was basically producing overpriced drink coasters rather than music.

Lolno. Slash's solo career has been successful as fuck. Of course it won't reach the numbers Axl gets, as Axl has the name, but he still headlines large theaters around the USA and more in other countries tries. Fun fact, he and GNR played the same venue in Detroit in 2012 with similar attendance numbers btw

I love CD, but it didn't do what it was supposed to. The "lack of promotion" excuse is stupid. Dr pepper gave everyone sodas, it had TV commercials, a cardboard display at Best Buy, radio stations talked about it, Time magazine even had an article (along with the usual magazines and sites), and it had the whole mystique thing behind it. Would an Axl interview really changed anything? Get real. Again, only idiots get so hung up on Axl vs. Slash (especially now) but your bias against Slash is obvious.

And 6 unquestionable bombs? He got a platinum record and a Grammy award with one of those albums. 3 were independent and continue to have songs played from them on my city's hard rock station.

Im actually wrong, i went back and noticed Slash had several EP's, live albums, and soundtracks that also bombed. Hes literally like 1 for 15.

Ok, we understand your objective and hopefully the mods will take care of this soon.

You do realize that GnR are playing stadiums only because he is back, don't you? What a failure of a musician!

No doubt about It.

Thats insinuating Slash is responsible for playing stadiums, thats false. Slash was Playing Jiffy Lube live a year ago. Remember theres a reason Axl is boss.
