ludurigan Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 RICHARD FORTUS plays song written by IZZY STRADLIN and AXL ROSE! Live with BLACKBERRY SMOKE! in 2018! In St Louis! And plays two solos! Originally done by SLASH! IN HIS OWN WAY! SERIOUSLY! I am so happy but i am so pissed at the same time! I just can't figure out why did Richard Fortus had to play a three-chord 1988 song mostly written by Izzy Stradlin! Why? Why??? I just can't figure out why didn't Richard play one of the songs he wrote with Axl Rose instead!

default_ Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Some tasty licks there and there. Love his tone. But what can ya do bout the song? I cant even imagine the reaction from a Blackberry Smoke crowd if they played, I dont know, Madagascar. It'd be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Rose Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 @Fitha_whiskey and I saw Blackberry Smoke about a week before this performance.. we would have hollered the house down if Richard Fortus came out with them to play UTLH..you know why? Because we love Guns N' Roses..and Richard Fortus is in Guns N' Roses. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) The threads are getting more and more ridiculous each day Oh, and to answer your question, they played a Guns N' Roses song because Fortus is a member of Guns N' Roses Edited February 21, 2018 by Gibson_Guy87 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real joke is that you'd be fine with any other guitarist on the planet playing a cover of that song but god forbid someone who has been in GnR for almost seventeen years dares touch it with a ten foot pole because somehow that would be him appropriating Izzy's work ( instead of just, you know, him playing the song like anybody else )... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
