Daedalus Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Interesting.Fortus is (imo) the best guitarist in GN'R right now, so it would be great to see them play together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) I would love to see them play together, two great guitarists. I wonder how recent the offer was?

SoulMonster Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I would love to see them play together, two great guitarists. I wonder how recent the offer was?I would think it must have been before Richard joined Guns N' Roses, because surely Slash wouldn't think Richard would consider joining Slash's band while playing in Guns N' Roses and surely Slash wouldn't think of "stealing" Richard away from Guns N' Roses...unless he really wants to piss off Axl.

This leads me to believe the offer would have most likely have been in the past few years for his solo group Edited June 14, 2013 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard joined GN'R in 2002, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Fortus was a well known session player within 'the industry' before joining GN'R, from what I understand. I like Fortus a lot, but then again, he hasn't really had a chance to shine. I feel like he is great at what he does, which is basically just to play guitar well, but not necessarily do anything fresh. I wish he'd be given a chance to do more.

SoulMonster Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It could also be the band Slash was trying to form before Velvet Revolver, with Steve Gorman on drums and an unknown bassist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The hard rock scene comprising of musicians who are now age 40 to 55 ish from what I can gather is pretty incestuous and most seem to respect each other regardless of what band/s they have been in. The Axl and Slash feud is pretty much just Axl and Slash, I don't think many care enough to take sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Did Slash try to poach Richard whilst in GNR or was this while he was a free industry agent? Maybe he came to like Fortus' ability through The Dead Daisies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Interesting.At first I was like "Shit, did Slash really say that? How low!". Glad to see it was a misunderstanding.Someone should e-mail Fortus to ask about this. I think Slash could've requested Fortus for Blues Ball or Snakepit II.

DieselDaisy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It could have been 1996 when Slash formed Blues Ball. It could have been 1999 when Slash was recruiting for Snakepit or 2000 when he was looking for a replacement for Ryan Roxie (Keri Kelli got the job). If I had to guess, it would be Snakepit as Love Spit Love were not active around that time, 1999-2000 so it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbo Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't think it was while he was working with Axl, but who knows. Maybe Snakepit II, or the band he was trying to put together before Velvet Revolver that Soulmonster posted about.Interesting tidbit, but kinda difficult to discuss given the vague statement.
