If he's to have guest appearance, then why not the lighting specialists or sound enginners or stage cleaners from the 90s? Well like that Fortus also hardly contributed anything to GNR, all he is doing is covering songs? Chris Pitman has more contribution to CD than Fortus. Fortus just composed a 5 second guitar part in the song Better out of all the songs on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and if Fortus was to go I wuldn't cry either and wouldn't consider him crucial, even as guest appearance, for a real reunion to take place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asia Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Yes. But even if they don't play here, which would be great if they did, I can try going somewhere near. The other side of the world though with the ticket prices being as they are is pretty much out of the question.

Popular Post EvanG Posted August 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I'm not going to badmouth Gilby, I always liked him... he always seemed like a humble down to earth person in interviews and he's written some great tunes. He says nothing strange in that interview in my opinion, he knows what his place is. I wouldn't mind at all seeing him on stage with the other guys some day as a guest appearance or whatever, and I'm sure that's what he was talking about. He's still part of the ''golden'' era of GnR.

Tom-Ass Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Gilby was saying what everyone else was saying back in April. Even people that loved what was going on. They were saying that it wasn't a true reunion and Axl and Slash just joined Axl's band.. In April that is exactly what it was. Sounded like it too.... There are a lot of people that still believe that. Whether you consider him an important part of the bands history or not he has more personal ties and emotions involved than any of us do and deserves an opinion. I thought Gilby was great in Gn'R. That 1993 skin n' bones tour to me was the tightest the band ever sounded live. They were just straight up tight.. No second keyboard player and his backing vocals were great, especially on the acoustic stuff. I think they could have also released a solid album with him. All the guys guested on his solo album. Take the best of that, some of the stuff he worked with Slash on the first Snakepit and some of Axl's stuff and you have something good. I bet he tuned in back in April and was felt like many of us that it just didn't feel like Guns N' Roses then he checked out. He probably hasn't tuned in over the summer like us to see how much the band has improved. I just don't know why he thinks that him being involved would be consider "doing it right". I personally would take him any day over Fortus and it would feel a little more like Gn'R to me but for him to say that is odd since he was also a hired hand. He was a great fit, was on a cover album and 95% of their live album but still a hired hand. He was a short hair away from being more than that but then Axl sent him that fax. That being said, I would still prefer him to Fortus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Who the hell cares about Gilby making an appearance. Anyone that can honestly say they want a Gilby appearance, and then in the next sentence say "Fortus sucks, and shouldn't be there" is out of their mind! He did the UYI tour and Spaghetti incident album, that's all. He was not a particularly great player, he doesn't have Izzy's feel, and he certainly doesn't have the feel of Richard or the ability. Guest Appearances from Steven, Izzy! that's about it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocArunas Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Wow, I must be in the minority then... I fell in love with GNR because of youtube. The majority of recordings are from the UYI tours and Gilby was there, and for me, he fit in well, even if his job was to "strum a few chords" during those shows. So naturally that is how I picture the "real" gnr, regardless if he did not write anything on any of the albums. Also that tour was the peak of gnr, and he was a part of it, people that give him a hard time should understand that it was a peak for him also. It would be hard to forget that period of life or cope with the fact that you are forgotten even though you were a part of that "huge machine" Edited August 23, 2016 by DocArunas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Sounds like sour grapes to me....although I'd still take Gilby over the current guy (Fortus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't blame him. He is good friends with Slash and Duff, he has toured with them too. He did kinda expect they would call him if Izzy backed out, but well now the case is different GNR name gave him a lot of fame and he respects that and if you were in such a big band, how can you forget those times? Where the hell was Fortus when Izzy backed out at the hall of fame? Being a slave of Axl he even said that he won't share the same stage with Slash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trqster Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Gilby will be part of the reunion tour alright, as soon as he decides to pay a ticket and attend a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousStyles Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 LOL, can someone pass the salt....? When people watch November Rain on YouTube, they see Gilby and Matt... They were a part of the band at the height of its fame and fandom! Not hard to believe that some people want those musicians involved in the "reunion" tour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki_Sixx Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 He's right on the money. This is not a reunion tour. This is just a continuation of Axl's solo years. Slash and Duff just joined his band, and replaced whatever clowns and circus artists happened to be on Axl's payroll at the time. The proof is in the lame line-up and in the lame setlists. You only have to look at the lame stage set-up to be taken right back to the '01-'14 era. The stupid visuals and lights and lasers and whatnot, so NOT rock n' roll. When Slash or Duff (or the real GNR for that matter) came to town, you knew it'd be a no frills all thrills kick-ass rock n' roll show, not a modern-day circus. They had ONE shot at a proper reunion (UYI line-up) ... and they blew it. This whole thing is a collossal dissapointment on every level. And we should have known, because since '93 Axl has managed to completely screw up every single thing associated with GNR. And in the process he dragged the legacy of my favourite band ever through the mud over and over again, until it became an unrecognisable and unrepairable mess. Oh well, whatever, nevermind ... GNR '85-'95 RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've always liked Gilby. Hope to see him on a song or two with Guns sometime soon. His Wild Horses/jam with Slash was always nice to hear. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's right, this isn't a reunion, and maybe one day we will get something that can actually qualify as a ''reunion'', and that also includes Matt and Gilby seeing as they are part of the UYI era, whether some people like it or not. We didn't even get to read the interview, just a few sentences, and people are now judging him on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
