DeadSlash Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Would you get excited if Duff returned as lead guitar and Izzy as rhythm guitar, vice versa or switching off?Granted neither is Slash, but with Duff and Izzy back in the song writing mix, would you get excited? Or would you not care because it wasn't Slash and they are "just Rhythm guitarists"?Personally, I would be stoked if this happened. I'd reserve judgment on how it would sound until I actually heard it. Edited July 29, 2015 by DeadSlash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I would be excited. Realistically though, I think Duff has put GNR behind him. Same with Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatashame Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 if Izzy is such a genius, shouldn't he already have mastered the guitar and finally play the lead?I mean, it's not 1985 and he doesn't compete against young Slashit's 2015 - and now that Izzy has been sober for 26 years, he's had a lot more time to practiceif he still has to play rhytm, behind Duff... um...

As for touring, no, I wouldn't be particularly exited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Richard is apparently still in the band. Neither Duff or Izzy would ever take a lead role on guitar and even if they were to take on that role it doesn't excite me one bit. If Duff and Izzy rejoin then Slash better be in the band too.

Rdeyahlxp Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 They have complementive personalities and not the dominant personality for lead guitar. Rhythm and bass suits them just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take as an example the guitar parts for Rocket Queen. Izzy completely overshadows Slash on that one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Slash would join if Duff joins, I guess Slash doesn't cares about Steven or Matt or Izzy or Gilby, like he cares, but it won't matter him that much if others are not in the band.Duff on the guitar would be weird, they should just call Izzy or Gilby on the rhythm, even though I love Izzy but he is that type of a guy who will bail out within a few days, so Gilby is more reliable. Duff should be on the Bass, No one cares about Stinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl666 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think Duff would be good fit for rhythm guitar actually.When you think about it, Duff's main role has been rhythm guitar for past ten yearswith Loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 No 1, Duff is only ever going to be the bass player for Guns, if he ever decided to come back aboard full time. No 2, and this is a big one! Izzy does not want to join GnR full time and tour around the world... once offs etc.? yep, but nothing solid... maybe if it was a classic era line up he would have a change of heart for a while, with the current band I highly doubt anything more than sporadic appearances.

And im talking behind his back he fully admits it..its two totally different worlds lead and rythym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Could have duff return to bass, have tommy on rhythm, and have fortis on lead. None from old gnr has any chance of returning except duff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bran Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) im at the point where nothing really excites me about guns n roses, i think the only way i would honestly give a shit again is with a new album with a concrete release date and a lead single other than that i could give a shit less who is in the band at this point.

DeadSlash Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 This whole thread is a masturbation fantasy. Let's either get real, or if that doesn't suit, at least stroke yourself quietly.literally lol- best thing i've read todayI'm not really sure how this fits as a masturbation fantasy, I proposed a hypothetical, I didn't suggest it was happening. I asked if people would get excited. I think you might need to goggle "masturbation" and "fantasy."It's really not a thread to get salty about, just a question I haven't seen 1000 times in a very grim and dead period for the band. Also there is actually plausibility to it as Duff and Izzy are both open to working with Axl, unlike Slash.Would you get excited if Duff returned as lead guitar and Izzy as rhythm guitar, vice versa or switching off?Granted neither is Slash, but with Duff and Izzy back in the song writing mix, would you get excited? Or would you not care because it wasn't Slash and they are "just Rhythm guitarists"?Personally, I would be stoked if this happened. I'd reserve judgment on how it would sound until I actually heard it.I would be excited if they were to start writing music with Axl, because I hope and think they might be able to push him forward. As for touring, no, I wouldn't be particularly exited.The writing part is what would excite me most.im at the point where nothing really excites me about guns n roses, i think the only way i would honestly give a shit again is with a new album with a concrete release date and a lead single other than that i could give a shit less who is in the band at this point.That's a fair point. That is when I would go from cautiously optimistic to very excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
