But, it is definitely true that a lot of older fans do not want to hear their favourite bands change and try new things. Historically it has almost always been met with hostility, unless the artist in question was expressly known for always changing their look and sound! Ah look, here's how I look at it. It doesn't impact my enjoyment of those songs one bit! It's a little annoying to read the same thing on each thread, but I can ignore it or I can engage it and share my opinion. I'm perfectly ok, with anyone not liking or liking different things to me. Im old. Well, older. I definitely wanna see them do different shit. Actually, in all honesty, if they did anything with regards to new shit id be fine with whatever it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comprehend how such a vital band is becoming a busted-ass KISS... makes those Slash digs at Paul Stanley ring a little hollow (even though I doubt he would book a flight on GNAir of his own volition). I think at this point I'm just hoping Dexter will come back and call us all bitch boi's one more time before I clock out permanently.

Cure Me Or Kill Me (w/ Slash), Tijuana Jail (w/Slash and Matt), Skin & Bones, Dead Flowers (w/ Axl) and Hunting Dogs are probably the standout tracks. I wouldn't say it is a masterpiece but was a solid album at the time and some of the songs still stand up well today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the years he was away from Guns, he was viewed as a straight arrow, now that he's back behind enemy lines he's the devil. It's nonsense. I'm confident that there was shenanigans, but Izzy is definitely capable of shenanigans just like anyone else. Unless you believe he's some sort of saint. And yes, Duff has been tight lipped in interviews about Guns, but that doesn't count as the smoke and mirrors that you're putting on him and the rest of the band. As for your stage presence bit, Fortus most certainly has stage presence just like Izzy has. Izzy can just stand there and he has presence, Richards presence is all about moving about the stage and beating the hell out of his guitar. I know that there was a lot of people watching Richard at the shows, and remarking how great he was. There are many, many more people who have positve things to say about the world class guitar player Richard Fortus, than saying bad things. I think that speaks volumes. Also, there was lots of people who had great things to say about him even before the reunion. You simply blame Richard for Izzy not being there... when the guy has absolutely no power in that decision. If Richard walked and said Izzy should be here, they would have just hired some other guitar player and Izzy would still not have been there and Richard would have needlessly given up his amazing spot in a huge reunion. uhhuh!? uhm...NO! I am really, really sorry but NO! Richard Fortus has 0 stage presence or charisma. I am glad you met him and Frank and they came out as great guys, but I meet 30 people every day that are great but that doesn't make them elegable to play in Guns N Roses. Richard Fortus, no offense, looks like a character who escaped from Angry Birds. He is a hired hand and as such you can not compare him to Iz/Gilb/Matt/Adler, who were band members. Those guys were totally other league from Fortus and Frank. Don't need to go back through history, just check out some of the last shows of the UYI line up, Buenos Aires 16/7/93, 17/7/93, Saskatoon '93...You think in their best dream Frank and Fortus could pull that off? LOL! The only reason Fortus and Frank are there cause Fortus is probably even cheaper to have than Gilby. Gilby probably had even more charisma than Iz. I had probably never seen guys with less stage presence or charisma than F & F in any band that made it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djones1225 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well I'm still hoping for a live album, with most live material from 2016. The whole band sounded great then. In my opinion Guns got burned out in the middle of 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pskihq92 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Seriously guys. The general musings thread. Or create one called " who was as member and who was a hired hand? " for God's sake. Here let me try.. just over a month until the first show. I personally doubt there will be a new song or talk of a new album at the show but it would be cool if there was. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
