saber_ Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 They don't screw up the guitar parts as much. People like to romanticize the old days, but the number of times a solo or riff got fucked up is actually quite staggering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Suck Gotta admit, I actually LOL'd at this.They don't screw up the guitar parts as much. People like to romanticize the old days, but the number of times a solo or riff got fucked up is actually quite staggering. My assessment of DJ's TIL solo disagrees with you haha, but I get what you're saying overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 - Sober and generally take themselves more professionally as musicians (the old guys do now with their current projects too).- Current band plays tighter together and not as sloppy.- Longer set lists- Less rants and a generally happier Axl- New band is more opportunity to meeting and interacting with fans, online, meet n greets...etc- Fortus is better than Izzy- More covers (if that's your thing) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Better beards, pimp out flying pianos, and wobbly keyboards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 - Fortus is better than Izzy Yes, because Britney Spears is much better than the guy who wrote Patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy_Stradlin_XX Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 They don't screw up the guitar parts as much. People like to romanticize the old days, but the number of times a solo or riff got fucked up is actually quite staggering. Please do share said moments where the old band fucked up something.

DieselDaisy Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Slash at the height of his drug abuse - with two bottles of Jack in his belly and load of junk pumping through his veins - could outplay Ashba and BF blindfolded.

magisme Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I guess you could say that BBF and Richard are "tighter" than Slash and Izzy often were live, but then you have Ashba bringing a whole new level of suck into the mix, fucking up the calculations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Being Axl's employees Other than this: they play tighter (same shit everyday is probably the main reason of this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Richard is by far the better guitar player than izzy.Izzy wrote some cool songs, was always the grey man in GNR and no one missed him. Had zero personality on stage and in interviews. He will always be an original member but thats all he gets credit for. He even left cause he knew it wasn't suited for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even left cause he knew it wasn't suited for him.Richard may have a better technique, but overall Izzy is the best guitarist because he can write. Izzy wrote some of the best classic GN'R tracks and deserves all the credits he gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnari Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Nothing..The old band was better (Appetite/Illusion)And the old band had better chemistry..+ could write awesome hitsMajority of fans who even think about this silly question were either in diapers or did not exist when the old GnR were still together Edited March 23, 2014 by gunnari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Izzy deserves the writing credit, yes I agree. I will back him up all the way for song writing ability.I just don't think he is the better guitar player. Richard is more pro-active, with thin lizzy, dead daisies, complusions and being hired for other guest spots. He is out there. Show me an izzy solo where he can rip richard apart? You can't.There has even been specualtion if izzys guitar was even plugged in on his guest spots over the past few years.
