TheBaconMan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The way The Baconman feels Fortus has the worst stage presence I have ever seen with a touring band member. You never see him. What does he actually do? I have read lots of post on who is the best and yada yada best at what? He ate the thoughts Beuckethead is my personal favourite lead guitar player this band has ever had. I think he is technically the best. I just liked watching him as well Robin is my second fav lead guitar player. His sloppy play and his ability to almost make love to the music as he played it impresses me but neither of these two wrote any hits slash is reallly the only lead guitar player that has actually been able to write a hit. Many hits I really like the guy. He is my number 3. To me his time in the band has passed. Especially if this tour prevents us from hearing new music. But he is really good and really the only lead guitarist to write anything that sold with gnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I would like to see Axl organically make music with Robin/Buckethead/BBF. I would also like to see a band with Robin, Bucket, and Josh Freese (or Brain) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Slash/Duff. Like what Frank did on Chi dem. I like hard rock records. I like CD or more progressive stuff. The only scenario I might not like that much is something like contraband where it's too much filler fast ones. I feel like Guns generally do more than that. So Contraband but filled up with some CD type material. An Axl/Slash rocker is a must. Something deeper. There's too much material and talent for it to be mediocre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakDown2014 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 On his own, Slash usually writes 2 or 3 great riffs out of 15 boring filler rock songs. Get those 2 or 3 riffs, put it together with Fortus' "generic" rythm guitar, a few Axl ballads and a few Duff punk rock songs, and you'll get a decent album. I would prefer having CD II with Slash playingall over it (like CD had Ron displaying his shitty tone all over the place), though. Buckethead kicks Slash's ass as a songwriter (and as a guitarist too). Tobias/Reed/Rose is a great combo too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dj more than Slash. Slashs godfather solo can't even compete with Dj's ballad of death or Mi Amor. Ashba owned all of Slashs solos and riffs and as far as I'm concerned, Slash couldn't hold Ashbas jockstrap in a million years!!! I think I went a little WWE promo on that but there ya go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead kicks Slash's ass as a songwriter (and as a guitarist too). Tobias/Reed/Rose is a great combo too This is the crux of the dilemma. If they are going to Spaghetti Incident their own catalog...first would they do that? I think Slash does. Then look at the Reunion tour. Would a straight best of be more honest. I feel like so far the records have been like a journey. Each record builds off the last. So taking CD II and having Slash/Duff take it on could work. Like the next chapter. The other option is not the spaghetti but the fresh sauce. I'm not sure if they can do it from scratch. To like re-create AFD writing process but with a different line up, like an organic experiment. Like cloning a human with real body parts? They have a lot of parts but do the non-human parts infect the whole? Without Izzy will they be making Sonic Temple 2?

Technically, image wise, and feel. But Richard has a completely different role in GN'R now compared to what Bucket/Robin had. They played lead, and they are indeed a better fit for that. But I would definitely prefer Richard as a rythm guitarist behind Slash. I mean, you could say the exact same thing about Izzy. Robin was a million times more interesting, and Bucket a trillion times the guitarist technically. But I bet you'd prefer Izzy as a rythm guitarist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket, Robin, and Ron definitely have completely different styles. It would have been worse if Axl had Slash clones everywhere (yeah, yeah... DJ) I respect the "all-in" approach Axl had with the original Chinese Democracy lineup, but this "half in/half out" bullshit is kind of what grates me (personally) LOL @ the notion that the other three in this band need to be paid equal lip service. I could understand that sentiment in 2001, but now....it's comical on the edge of satirical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
