A new album might make him do that, but at this point I'm doubtful. With the technology in recording software, it would be hard to make Axl sound bad! Heck, I can't sing but I can make myself sound okay just by manipulating the vocals and doing some overdubbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters, no one outside of this forum would know who Gilby is!!! Second, Axl was actually willing to make new music with 4tus, and was unwilling to write with Gilby so I’d imagine 4tus would be paid more than Gilby. I guarantee there are millions of Gn'R fans worldwide that don't post on the forum that know who Gilby is. The majority of Guns fans or fans from the classic era do not post in forums. 2 hours ago, Gibson_Guy87 said: IIRC, Axl is huge on loyalty. I can't imagine he'd cast aside Fortus so easily after 16 years That is a damn shame. He should get over it for the better of the band. 2 hours ago, Pedrolg said: It's sad, but nothing excites me at this point unless Axl manages to get a least some of his voice back. A new album might make him do that, but at this point I'm doubtful. He should be able to pull it off in the studio. He still has his moments and knows when he is feeling it and can just record then.

Plus its not like Guns were active for most of Fortus' tenure. Gilby kicked ass in Snakepit and on Pawn Shop. The same cant be said for Fortus, who kicked ass on Iglesias' album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That album is extremely underrated. I often find myself listening to Buick McKane, Human Being, Raw Power, Since I don't Have You, Ain't it Fun, New Rose and Down on the farm more than anything on the Original Albums. The production of that album is perfect as well, for a band like Guns N'Roses. I guess I secretly wished the band had gone to that Punk Rock direction and recorded something themselves of that kind. It would have been a blast. Edited December 19, 2018 by Propaganda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsprettytiedup Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 My god, you guys never listened to "Revolucion" by Dead Daisies? Is one of the most kick-ass rock album that I've ever heard and it has Richard on lead guitar. You should give it a listen like right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't count that as his being a band member due to the circumstances (fateful accident) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing videos of Fortus and Slash, I think they have a unique chemistry and Fortus plays soooooooo much better than Gilby. Fortus is a technical player that's not supposed to match Slash's playing, but it actually works so fucking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've liked Richard since he joined the band in 2002. First time hearing his guitar work on The Blues at the Toronto gig that year. Great musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route66 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Nothing will happen. It's all rumors and BS. There's still a deep distrust that will take years to subside. We're talking Axl time. Nothing wrong with that imo after what happened before. Playing old stuff and getting along again is easy.. trust takes a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is 50 and outside Ax bands played villages in Germany with Nena playing 99 Luftbaloons night after night. Gilb joined Gunners when they were on the top of the world, Fortus when they played 2300k capacity outside of London. When Gilb was in the band they toured Illusions, while Fortus was in, Ax delivered - CD. Maybe he would have been better off with Gilb After all, Gilb did mention he was approached, while Fortus was in the band 'but things didn't work out'. Sounds like Iz issue.

trqster Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 There's definitely something coming up - no way Axl is wasting the opportunity to make a shit load more money out of the Slash and Duff collaboration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
