Seems like there actually was a good initial creative push in 98-99- and a group of guys that had grown tight and enjoyed working/creating together (i.e. Finck/Stinson/Freese/Reed/Beavan, etc.). Accordingly- though I love the released Chinese Democracy- the ‘99 record (with Beavan at the controls), and the UYI Tour footage are easily the “Holy Grails” in the Guns vault for me... Yeah. A group of guys. Something other's can't come to terms with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked May was never a member and was invited as a guest to noodle around. actually that sean beavan quote was just one of zillions of others indications/evidences/proofs pointing to the fact that it was an axl solo album that quote is just another indication/evidence/proof of that if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cherry pick and ignore what you choose to, great work. And you can't distinguish the difference between having a vision and song writing.

In the latter it's me and two other guys who are basically session live guys for the time being. We learn the songs that the main guy wrote and recorded. It's his vision and his alone that has any merit. We're there to do a job and that's rounding out the lineup so we can do live gigs. After we tour we will become full members and write as a band. See any similarities (other than the becoming full members/writing as a band part?) NuGNR was AXL'S SOLO PROJECT. His band members did exactly what I'm doing now: learning someone else's music. How anyone can call GNR 99-2015 an actual band and not laugh at the same time is either a moron, diluted, ignorant, or all of the above. Those guys wrote the music WITH Axl. Bucket was writing his own riffs, so was Robin and all the other guys. Axl wasn't sitting there saying play this riff, he was sitting there going play me something that inspires me. Also, when we're talking about Axls vision, that's a perfectly normal thing. Just like with AFD he wanted a raw gritty album, just like UYI he wanted a slicker effort. On CD he had a idea of the overall project and feel and when the direction of the music was veering away from that, he steered it back towards the vision for the record. My problem with calling CD a solo work, is that it's far too collaborative to be deemed anything but collaborative work... ie a band of musicians writing together.... as a band. We all know that there were lots and lots of musicians involved in creating the record, and that it's far from the norm as to how to create a record; but at the end of the day Axl didn't write those songs on his own... and he was definitely looking for new ideas and directions to spark his creativity. Also, solo records don't usually include songs that the solo artist hadn't intended on putting the record. This I Love was recorded for and included on the record because Tommy and others around convinced him to put it on.... collaborative effort. This argument is going to go on and on forever.... I haven't engaged it in a while though, this is only a slight relapse 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Gunner Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 not a fan of nine inch nails and whatever possesed axl to go that route is beyond me. he shoulda let slash have his gritty rock tracks and kept writting lavish ballads and wed probably have a few more good records. imo that whole NIN vibe is what ran nugnr into the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's maybe two tracks that could possibly be linked to NIN, the rest is lavish ballads, straight rockers, or some progressive rock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously think that alot of people are stuck in 1989 and that as soon as they hear something outside of that box they label "industrial" or "nu metal" CD was neither!!! It is more prog rock then anything. It mixed a multitude of styles together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackler's Revenge, the worst track on CD by a country mile, Riad to a lesser extent. I agree there isn't much industrial there on the final release. There probably is on some of the tracks in the vault, Silkworms for instance had an industrial vibe, again, a poor track imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki_Sixx Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 So there you have it. Straight from the horse's mouth. Axl did not re-record vocals for Live-Era between '98 and '00. He might have at some other time, but not while Beavan was there. That's settled then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Axl is a musical genius and as such he'll always be a somewhat egocentric figure - it's just the way it always was and will be. Would Gn'R be half as popular if Axl was instead a personality/front man like for instance Myles Kennedy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor does Riad, Silkworms wasn't even released. I think the big problem with Guns fans is that they are largely an older generation and completely out of touch with anything past ,95. Things are underground now for the most part. Much of what your commenting on are a combination of many styles of music mixed together.

Shackler's sounds nothing like NIN. The chorus has a chord progression, you've got a wild atonal guitar solo , tapped arpeggios on the last chorus, a drum beat that has a swing feel in the chorus, layers of vocals throughout (something that Trent couldn't dream of doing if he even wanted to) this song is so far removed from what Trent does and how he's does it, you could put Trent on vocals in this song and it STILL wouldn't sound like a legit NINs song. The minor 2nd note intervals in the intro are more so used in hardcore and grindcore (Dillinger escape, Zao, Poison the well) that's been a staple of that genre for over 20 years. Fact is Bucket was ahead of his time and all of his atonal work that you most likely heard at Rio in 2001 and he's never gotten the credit for getting that incorporated into mainstream music. It has nothing to do with industrial music, Ministry was pretty much the grand daddy of that movement, and they sound nothing like this song either. Riad is just a modern day stab at Zep with some mild cyberpunk neopunk and prog rock elements in it. The back half is completely original with Buckets lead over Axls vocals, there's nothing NIN about that. Put those classic rawk records to rest and catch up to 2000.

I checked inside just to be sure, and sure as shit, there were pictures of the Guns N' Roses lineup that played on the album. Looking further, I found writing credits for the members of Guns N' Roses that were involved in writing each Guns N' Roses song. 5 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a SOLO record that was put together by a bunch of guys jamming, coming up with ideas, collaborating with confirmation of this FROM a band member.

Can you at least hear the melody difference??? No. You obviously can't. Shackler's is like a full orchestra score compared to that and it is much more elaborate with the melodies.
