Sosso Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I really miss that intro. It was so melodic and tasteful. A hybrid version of the song with Bumble's intro and Slash's solo would be so cool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that was the first time nu guns played DC (as an instrumental). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful intro. Who gives a shit about bumblefoot. At the time im sure most people on this site liked the band and thought his intro was cool. As much as we all say we liked the other lineups this is what we all wanted. I know izzy would make it better but be happy with what we got and hope we get new music. And fuck steve adler anyone who thinks he should be part of this, just lisen to the i terviews he gives and the dumb shit that comes out of his mouth.

RONIN Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 One thing I will add - it would be nice to see the band take some chances and play around with different variations of these songs. DC and the hits have been played to death. Could be a nice way to inject some new energy into them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was closer to the AfD version than the one from the current tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Towelie Posted July 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2017 I agree. Ron Thal was a beast. His playing and creativity were wasted, being stifled as he was by a lazy, unmotivated lead singer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumble made a great chord melody version of Don't cry and Axl dueted with him... that was great. Only criticism of that version was that the drums should have come in properly for the solo and stayed strong for the remainder, none of that subtle rim shot business... also, DJ should have been kept away from it.

action Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Slash would elevate nearly any band on the planet, yet i do not want him in any of those. sometimes, what's "the best" player for a band doesnt always equal the "most loved". if you're a fan of the appetite 5, you'll want these 5 and no one else, even if they would be jimi hendrix or john bonham. if you're a fan of nuguns, you'll like characters like bucketfootwhatshisface. it's all ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-p-d-a Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I don't miss him I don't know why but i hate when he teased "Don't Cry" on a GN'R Concert!!! What the fuck ?!? Why? Worst moment ever.

Then one day (Chiba, Japan 2007 I think) Axl came out and started singing it with him and it it was the first time Axl sang that song since the 90's. It was super emotional... TT_TT Bumblefoot's solo is probably my favorite interpretation of the song. Also, who else remembers this? I gained so much respect for him after this cuz that was a really hostile crowd.

Ifdworld Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 BBFs arrangement on this song is the best thing that has happened to the song. i love his phrasing, its so emotional. really goes to the root of the song. i think he should release his guitar rendition, its def worth listening, either if you re a guitar player or just really love the melody in it. amazing artist i gotta say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
