Revolver

to drop Street of Dreams and Shacklers is quite idiotic.. for the people that haven't listened to Chinese or maybe just gave it a simple run without giving it a chance, hearing those songs live will surely get some excitement for the album started.. SOD works perfectly live like a classic Guns song and Shacklers is just too crazy live to not take notice

Great to see 'Better' on there, but I'd replace 'Live and Let Die' with 'Estranged' in a heartbeat.

casual rock fan = LALD

hardcore GNR fan = Estranged

Understand?

what about Don't Cry?

When Gunsguy says "it would never end", keep in mind that Slash left in 1996, and the people who can't get past that still whine about it today in 2012. I'm not sure it even matters at this point.

I think a lot of people could get over this if they played a one-off night actually.. and if followed by a single from the new band (doesn't have to be performed live, just released), it would probably be the best move they've done since '91

(not sure on the year, it just rhymed )

well this was to be expected,

but I think it was a dumb move going publicly about it without GN'R even asking to be at the festival, because if the old band ever reforms, he might not want to have any bad blood between him and Axl...

so he calls the police, tells them what's going on, they go over there, find all these pictures, damn him as pedo and now he can't spend time with hid daughter?

how is this logical?

my best guess would be that the European tour has nothing to do with a new album.. it's just that, a tour.

Then I'd think they'll start laying down some tracks this fall and an album by the summer 2013.. doesn't sound like the awesome plan people are hoping for but it's a realistic guess

not related but gonna post anyways since I saw her this weekend and it was just so beautiful!

Tom Waits earned his spot.

Agreed and so did Dylan.

"When Slash realized the superhuman voice was actually legit, he knew he had found his frontman."

Right. Because Slash was the one that put the band together.

If they never took that trip to Seattle, would GNR have fallen apart before they even had a record contract?

Who knows, but Axl didn't join Slash's band, like this article seems to be misleading to.

I just noticed that. Slash saw Axl sing in Hollywood Rose and was impressed and ended up replacing Tracii in Guns N' Roses. The only original members at that point were Axl and Izzy so as far as I am concerned it was Axl and Izzy's band, not Slash.

Duff got together with Axl and Izzy and it was Duff who asked Slash and Steven if they wanted to join Guns N' Roses, that's what it says in Duff's book anyways.

How much do you know about early guns lore?

So Duff is lying?

Just asking. Duff may be telling the truth, but we tend to get different stories from all the band members. Oh vh1 behind the music Steven said that he and Slash saw Axl and Izzy in Hollywood Rose and said "we need to get that singer and guitar player"

In one interview with original guitarist Tracii Guns, Duff was already in the band and Duff was never in Hollywood Rose. I am going with Duff's story over Steven's..

Yep, Duff is the one I believe as well.

this came out of "Slash had found his frontman"??

that doesn't even mean that he got Axl to join his band, he just found the right guy to front himself, no matter who joins which band.. I remember reading that Slash kept popping up everywhere Axl went after Tracii left so it just kinda happened. He just knew he wanted that frontman, not that he'd join his band or whatever

stop reading so much into every line written

lol "especially Elias" ..that's my name

EDIT: very cool video btw, thanks

Montreal crowd was off the chain.

very true.. people just lost it when he screamed "You know where the F- you are?! You're in Montreal, baby!"

still remember hearing someone yelling "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE JUST FUCKING SAID THAT! OH MY GOD!" lol

I'm not really expecting a new album.. but if it happens and has a song that touches the epicness of 'Madagascar', then I'm all down for it!

think they'd go to a more rock n' roll version of Chinese if it happens though, would love to hear it!

I don't think people would really buy into the 'Chinese' era as a movie.. people don't want to watch something so over the top that it makes no sense-movie about a singer.. a hard rock band that got too big? sure I could see that happening.

if they do make a movie post-96 then that should be an entirely different movie from the other.. it would just not blend well

probably just The Wall, if there was anything I'd like to change I wouldn't know how I'd want it.. so yeah, that's the only album I wouldn't want fixed..

as for Appetite.. I'd like the outro of Nightrain to be the way it is performed live, so that doesn't make the cut

Why would he go on livestream and say these things..

I feel bad for the guy but it reminds me of those people who go on youtube and record themselves crying

mind you he takes serious doses of pain killers which can drug you up real good.. I don't think it was his original intention to go on about this

interesting that he asked Axl if he could play a song.. I could see more old fans going behind the current GN'R if Izzy, Duff AND Steven has performed a song with them

Nightrain

nothing I use a lot since most of it won't work in Icelandic.. but when people act like they have more authority than they do I have called them a "high school parking lot rent-a-cop"

No Keef & Mick, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant etc etc. Even Anthony Keidis deserves to be on the cover more than Baz

Well that's your opinion....Baz is fuckin' awesome to most people who listen to hard rock/metal.

Also why is Saul Hudson on the cover?

He paid them,and donated his sparkly top hat

So I guess that means Bill paid them and donated his yellow raincoat! :rofl-lol:

You such a bitch

seriously guys, take it elsewhere

*sigh* your history is twisted just a little bit...

we went backstage Before she was demoted... Axl never requested anything from us, it was already in motion.

Been on staff for over a year now here, have contacts in the camp and the band and not ONCE,

not one time at any point have they ever requested anything from us.

What is even more strange is in the year+ I have worked here I have not been told what to or not to post, I used to get told that by the same moderator you are referring.

Also I was invited back then, I never sucked cock to get there, never even knew it would happen because I was not looking for it.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than the fiction you have been fed

But to be back on topic, honestly usually you know someone in the camp or the band or you know someone who knows someone. Also some fans have reported being givin after show passes at the show by a few members of the camp and/or staff, how they pick who goes backstage, I have no idea...

I honestly wish everyone could go meet the guys

This is all bull shit, and you know it. No need to come on here and defend anything. Nobody cares.

how is this bullshit? what of it is?

he certainly brought his A-game to Montreal (first time since the riot) so I'm expecting nothing less for Philly.. wish I could go

the riff was cool.

the rest was not really to my liking but the video was well done

look forward hearing what he's done on Slash's new album.. but regarding his performance on the Guns tracks? I'd rather not say..

actually after listening to the song and reading those "official lyrics" they do sound like what he says ... also, it makes the song stronger hearing the 'Compromise' lines like they're supposed to be, after reading the older lyrics I just assumed that's what he was saying but after reading this and listening again I can hear that he's saying more

you can hear him say very clearly "jump" in that 'bad jump' line

eh....the 'casual fan' might think Slash is still a part of the band. If their purpose was just to get a reaction out of Axl, then yeah, he's a tool. But to someone who's never been to a GNR show, doesn't keep up with the band, their thought process is probably like "Yeah, Guns N' Roses, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Slash!"

you don't honestly think a guy that thinks this of GN'R would go: "oh yeah that band.. better check them out, and oh! don't forget to buy a set of clothes and a top hat to look like this guy I remember from the band" =/

Mi Amor for that funky feeling
