I watched a video of PC from Coachella yesterday and that's the second thing I thought. The first thing I thought was "Why is this so goddamn fast?!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I hope for is that they'll have a concert not too far from me at some point and that ticket prices won't be crazy. In the meanwhile, I am loving the footage from Vegas and Coachella, and hopefully some kind soul will periscope Mexico. I guess I am not an artist - I don't really notice any of the band members being "off". I think they're doing great! I'm happy too. My only "complaints" are that I wish Slash would play his November Rain solo on top of the piano. I don't understand why he's not doing that. It's so iconic. Also I hope that there's some talk about a new album in the not too distant future. I don't want this to be just about nostalgia. Oh and of course this would be a million times more interesting if Axl's foot wasn't injured, but what can you do. So all in all I'm very happy with everything so far.

I wonder wht type Fortus is? Emotion or technical? Or both? From wht I see He's the emotion type thts why I think Slash/Fortus is really works but I dunno if I'm right cause I know nothing about guitar technic Edited April 18, 2016 by SerenityScorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the Health and Safety police wont let him stand on the piano, would be so cool if he did though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only comparing their live proficiency. To me, Slash will always go down in history as one of the greatest guitar composers. A master at coming up with fantastic solos and riffs. And at his height he was tremendous at adding lead guitars that would augment the general mood and feel of a live show, improvising licks and little melodies.

Yeah I thought he was standing up next to Frank, not on the piano. He's probably thinking the last thing we need is me falling off and/or busting my foot too.

axlsend Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I remember Axl standing on a piano in Paris one year he fell over jumping off and finished the song flat on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikosgnr Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 So.. Some months back we had the "Axl thing" and how crappy (#NOT) or Mickey Mouse sounded. Now we have Slash's performance to talk about..! Yeah! Makin' mistakes and all this shit. Seriously? Comin' up after Mexico show: "Duff needs to do more practice. He missed a tone on Attitude man! Not to mention Easy..! Was too flat. Damn." People are crazy. Always need to complain about something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Only the fourth show together, there is a ton of chemistry there but you can tell they are still getting a feel for each other after playing with other musicians for so many years. They should be a polished machine by July. They already sound great so really it's just nit picking because overall they are putting out great performances with little controversy. Id say this band is very professional. But back to the nit picking.... in the setlist on that run of RQ and YCBM Axl either needs to get rid of that falsetto in there or separate the two songs in the set list. Tough songs back to back but YCBM hasn't been interesting to me since 2010 so I hope he improves there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on NR at least. but who fucking cares? I totally understand if Dj Ashba fuck up the song. But this guy wrote that solo, he can play that thing on an ukelele if he wants to. CD songs are another story. I don't like the TIL solo at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
