The Matinator

Dude he was playing in the Psychedelic Furs when they picked him up, and he played with them 2 more years after that. Not exactly a bar band.

If I’m not mistaken the first song recorded was Madagascar in like 97 but I’m not sure.

There is/was nobody in the band post ‘95 that was fighting for new music like Bumble was. He was never my favorite GNR guitarist but I always respected him for giving back to the fans & not pulling any punches in interviews. His last interview as a member of the band where he ripped into the recording process was totally understandable & refreshing compared to all the blindingly reassuring updates we got from guys like DJ. I’m happy that he’s in the place he is now where he can be creative & still play big gigs with a classic rock band. Seems like what he always wanted from Guns.

I’m pretty sure we’ll never hear the majority of these songs barring another crazy leak like 2019. I mean I’m sure if there is ever an new album some of these will be included but it would probably be songs like Atlas & Hard School that fit Slash & Duffs playing style. We might get them on a deluxe Version of CD someday but we’re not gonna see that for some time, if ever.

So guys, it’s my birthday today, and my GF & I flew down to see Exit 111 from Portland cuz her parents live in TN. So my favorite band is releasing footage from a concert I went to on my birthday. And here I thought this year was gonna be lame due to the pandemic lol. Thanks GNR, I wonder if they saw me request SOYL from this show on FB.

Any unreleased songs with Axl vocals from any era. A soundboard version of Garden of Eden. Not technically GNR but all the unreleased VR stuff (buckcherry demos, Corey Taylor demos, unreleased Scott songs etc.)

Man I know we’re GNR fans & theres not much to talk about, but I never thought I’d see an AC/DC discussion in the Silkworms thread.

Good interview, what ever happened to the Live Era analysis that used to be on this site? Can’t find it anymore

Part of me is starting to think NITL was documented like the ‘93 tour, where all the audio was just mixed down after the show & saved to tape. Sounds insane in the modern age but it would explain why the mix is so bad on every select except Donnington, which was produced by the download festival.

My favorite part of the VH hall of fame fiasco was that VR invited DLR to play with them but he wanted to do Jump, and according to Scott Weiland VR didn’t feel comfortable bringing a keyboard onstage. Huh...

So are my ears playing tricks on me or is this thing in straight up Mono?

Or CD, which was a pretty big single.

It was even sillier given the fact the Fortus was fully capable of covering most of bucket’s parts. Was never a big BBF fan myself, he’s a great guitarist & vocalist just not a good fit for GNR. I’m not a big robin fan either but his style/vibe fit the band better.

After watching the individual videos I gotta say what a performance of Chinese Democracy 😂

Jeez Gordon you trying to kill me 🤣
