I actually remember reading an interview where initially they were glam and they saw The Dolls and decided they could never top that so they went and nicked Alices schtick instead.

Kiss are one of the acts that have never really been something the English people have liked. It is curious how you mention Garth Brooks as he is another one. Kiss, Garth Brooks, Dave Matthews, Tool.

I think there was alot of interest in kiss from the uk, when they reformed and played donnington i think 96 but thats it. Thats judging by stuff ive read on the net, but over here they were and probably still are have a very healthy fan base. Hence why they still tour here. However i like dynasty and unmasked so i suppose my tastes can be questionable. Edited February 22 by Sydney Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some hidden gems on it, Ace's take on 2000 Man along with Save Your Love and Hard Times. Like Dirty Livin by Peter too. Off topic, sorry. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Download 71 Posted February 22 TSI is so underrated in the GnR catalogue. After 10 years of Chinese Democracy it’s not even close to Appetite or Illusions, and in saying that, I think some of Axl’s best work is on CD, but so is his worst. I miss Robin.

I wouldn't want a whole album of that from GnR but it was cool for what it was.. I liked how the played it over the PA at the end of the Get In The Ring shows too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stro 286 Posted March 3 Has the band done any bar/private shows with the NITL unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was only for SiriusXM subscribers and a few contest winners. And the Troubadour show, but only because of it being in such a small place. It wasnt “private” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UsedYourIllusion 302 Posted March 4 So I was thinking about my favorite GN'R shows all time, sort of which shows from each 'era' I would pick for wide release: One of the Japan shows for 2009 London show for 2006-the one with Sailing 2002 Boston Skin and Bones, either one of the Argentina shows or the Hartford show. UYI, either the Philadelphia show from July, Las Vegas or one of the Forum shows. Maybe one of the Swedish shows I don't know about the Appetite era though? I know every time I listen to boots from '87 or '88 they're amazing. Just not sure. What do y'all recommend I could listen to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had to attach a number to it I would say between 0 to 10 percent, realistically. But I do think that number goes up dramatically in 2020. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GNRfanMILO 1,616 Posted March 17 (edited) For all we know, Axl's been sitting on his arse for more than 3 months and counting, because he really doesn't have much to do ATM. We know he's the one who takes most of the time when it comes to making an album, so that's A LOT of time (8-10 months if you count this past 3 months) to work. He totally could've been working on it if they are planning a late-2019 release. It's not impossible, Axl has proven more than once that he's not the same person he was before the reunion. Everyone but Slash is basically scratching their balls (minus some stupid little projects like Richard's), so they could all be working on it as we speak. Then Slash comes back from touring and does his thing (which we know he does INCREDIBLY fast). It's not impossible, and also not that hard to think given how professional they all were during the NITL tour. Of course, I expect a 2020 release for obvious reasons, but I would say that the chances of a 2019 release are far more than just a 10%.

lilacmess 197 Posted March 27 (edited) I guess this thread is the right place for weird musings concerning the rims of the Gn'R universe. Imho Robin Finck is mentioned in Tori Amos' Song Sugar. A B-side from 1994. It supposedly is a song about her relationship with Trent Reznor. Tori apparently was very close with the whole band at the time. #crazyfantalk The reffrain goes: Sugar, bring me sugarI know the Robins bringBring me many things butSugar, he brings me sugar Edited to add: I have a thing for fierce redheads on a piano.
