wasted Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I keep forgeting about the reunion. I haven't read anything about it. I've seen a few youtube clips. I do get impression since before the reunion Fortus is involved in recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the stadiums are full of forumers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 100x better is an exaggeration. I think around 90x is more reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he's just excited about Duff and Slash being in the band and playing with them. Less about being happy others have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Robin is my favorite guitar player ever but that's because of his work with NIN in their live shows. He can play 100 notes but nothing will be as beautiful as his textures during La Mer on AATCHB. He was never the bluesy/shredder type but came up with the best past of the whole CD album which is his Better guitar solo. Slash is perfect for GNR and should've never left. Just like Robin belongs to NIN and I hope Trent invites him to join them in their only 2017 live show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the original guys only put out 2 in the 90s. If you throw in some Stradlin material and a couple covers CD could have been a double cd.

Graeme Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 7 hours ago, DieselDaisy said: Glancing at this thread I now realise what people really want, 2014 line-up reunion haha In all honesty, how can anyone like any of these players better than the originals? - they only released one album of original material (as opposed to four) - they covered live, 90% of the time, other people's songwriting and instrumental passages. - the tours were generally shite (in fairness mostly because of Rose's voice) Why is this in any way unreasonable? (Though I'd take the 2006/07 band over the 2014 one). Some of us grew up with that line-up, they played their hearts out on the old material, they released an album that a lot of us enjoyed, they showed a lot of further potential as a creative unit (that was inexplicably never exploited properly by Rose) and their live shows (at least in 06-07 and 09-10) were far from "generally shite" they were outstanding... I don't usually weigh up the reasons I like a band or artist using a logical checklist like the one you have above, I just go with my gut, and my gut feeling is that I wish the "reunion" hadn't happened.

"I wish the "reunion" hadn't happened" I'm with you bro. I believed too much in the potential of the 2002 incarnation, and I wish it had worked and produced a lot of new and proper material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THey didn't play their hearts out on the old material. They played in a professional way, like hired musicians. They didn't release an album, it wasn't up to them. Axl released an album featuring dozens of hired musicians, the "band" that made CD was different than the hired touring line-up. What potential did they show? With their solo spots and jams? That was mostly generic shit. Shows were, like I said, professionally well done from their part, outstanding is not the correct word. How can anyone prefer a cover band over 3/5 of an original band reuniting after 20+ years? It's not like this reunion will stop Axl from releaseing CD2, we all know he's retired as a musician and is now a full time entertainer. Trust me, kid. You're not missing out on anything It was either reunion or retirement after 2014. Be glad Slash and Duff accepted to play those Axl songs you enjoy and that's it.
