Sixes

Yes! Now Izzy's on the fans shit list!

Slash off, Izzy on...makes sense

My question is, is Ron in or out of the band?

Hopefully we'll get an announcement soon

We'd all love for Izzy to be there but FFS quit being such a purist. I suppose it's not a reunion without Steven either, huh?

Correct

I prefer 2006 vocals to 2010 vocals by miles.

2006, he had incredible range and fairly good control. He could nail the high notes in Sailing, show off in KOHD, and get gritty in IRS. Rasp when called for, clean non Mickey vocals when needed and everything in between.

2010 was too much rasp and a lot of times sounded like a raspy, wounded frog. Rasp on everything. Not needed and too many times he would just scream random lines.

2006 all the way.

Could he do that now?

Why not? Most thought he was done after 2002

I don't respect sellouts, never did. So a reunion is the final nail on gnr's coffin for me, the ''original'' line up was awesome but it ended a long time ago and it should stay that way but i guess hollywood people sure do like remakes.

I know Axl isn't doing this because of the money but i'm not gonna give one cent of my hard earned money to see $la$h. It's just how i roll...

Axl is doing it for free?

Is that some sort of lawnmower?

Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Adler

Or

Axl, Slash, Duff , Izzy, Adler, Dizzy

Or

Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Sorum, Dizzy

Or

Axl, Slash, Duff, Gilby, Sorum, Dizzy

Those are actual reunions.

Anything else is a brand new band.

Why would axl want that stuff?

Yes I truly believe that we will get new music in 2016. There will probably be lots of cool stuff for the 30th anniversary of Appetite as well whether or not there is a reunion.

2016 is not the 30th anniversary of afd though....so what makes you truly believe music will be released in 2016 as opposed to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015?. I'm going to assume that in 2008, that you truly believed new music would come out in 2009. Then when 2009 rolled around, you truly believed new music would be released in 2010 and so on. So what is so truly believable about 2016?

No, they won't.

Or, they just won't even care at this point and forget about him.

Sorry, there's no good answer. This is Axl's last chance, and if it doesn't happen, because of him or not, he will be finished. Dead at 55.

I disagree. I truly believe that we will hear new music in 2016. It will be awesome regardless of who is on stage with him

Did you truly believe that you'd hear new music in 2009.....2010.....2011.....2012.....2013....2014......2015 as well? What makes 2016 any different? When 2016 comes to an end and no new music has been released will you truly believe that new music will be released in 2017?

Sleepaway Camp

Half an album?

Thought it was 1/3

Tyler over Axl, Slash over Perry

Joy

Very underwhelmed

Making A Murderer is insanely addictive. It's a docuseries about a murder in small town Wisconsin. It's kind of like serial but visual. I was hooked within an episode. It's harrowing stuff.

I yelled at the tv for the entirety of the series

Now somone sabotaged Axl's monitors at the VMAs? Did they sabotage his treadmill as well?

Thanks Russ, i just spat out my cofee so i had to clean the laptops keyboard....

Now somone sabotaged Axl's monitors at the VMAs? Did they sabotage his treadmill as well?

I'm stealing that

You're both welcome. I'm feeling less bloated today and I'm in a fantastic mood, therefore I'm cracking jokes.

Seriously though, I have to laugh some times at the crazy things that people come up with the defend Axl. Dude wasn't prepared for the VMAs. Period. He's human, so that's ok. Was there a shit ton of pressure? Should he have prepared more? Yep, but he didn't. He rarely does.

I'm not saying any of that is ok, but it's expected. I just don't feel any need to run around looking for other things to blame outside of the one and only thing there is to blame.

That about sums it up.

You can't help but laugh at the excuses some people come up with. Like these intricate spy level conspiracies.

Then you realize that they are convinced of it and then, well then you laugh more

I'd laugh if Dexter posted in here going 'your bands are shit compared to mine!'

First, he'd need a band

Now somone sabotaged Axl's monitors at the VMAs? Did they sabotage his treadmill as well?

I bet you guys consider 90s Green Day as close to punk as it gets and nothing more. A bit of musically retardedness (I think I made that word up) is going on in this thread.

You would lose that bet

I think GnR had more bluesy influences in their music than most of those ''hair metal'' bands that I know from the 80s, I'm not saying GnR were the only band with bluesy licks, though.

If you can't hear the punk influence in some of their stuff, then I can't help you. I'm not even going to give examples because it's too obvious.

Please give me the examples of punk. I've been listening to gnr for almost 30 years now. Yet to hear anything punk in their music so it's not obvious to me, apparently.

Please help!

Maybe that is the problem... you should listen to some punk records first... then you will understand what punk rock is, then listen to GnR again and you might hear the influence... I know you can do it! Good luck.

If gnr are punk, ian mackaye and jello biafra are rolling over in their graves.

And they're not dead yet

You're not too bright it seems. No one is calling GnR a punk band for christ's sake. But obviously there are some punk influence in some of their songs.

I would say the only punk rockish song they ever had it's You're Crazy (afd version)

Other than that and the TSI covers, there's is NOTHING punk rock about them

And they drained all of the punk spirit out of the punk covers on tsi

Well, New Rose was ok

Raw Pwer was pretty bad

Down on the Farm with the fake accent is a bit messy

Attitude was decent

The rest of the songs are bad on their original form so...

The fake accent is so green day, who are the epitome of punk, so yeah, punk!

I bet you guys consider 90s Green Day as close to punk as it gets and nothing more. A bit of musically retardedness (I think I made that word up) is going on in this thread.

A few days ago i was argued with bacardi on Green Day is punk rock or not

I stand behind the " i think they are a bunch of suburban pop rock rich kids" opinion.

So you would lose your bet

Btw callling GNR punk rock is the true musical retardation so you might congrats to yourself to reach this achievement

I mentioned ian mackaye and jello biafra

I thought they were the singers for green day and the offspring, respectively

I never knew exactly what the definition of hair metal was, so I looked it up:

Rock or heavy metal music of the late 1980s performed by highly commercialized bands characterized by elaborate hairstyles, grotesque makeup, and highly theatrical costumes and stage sets.

So was GnR a hair metal band? Who cares... why must people always label everything. The same thing happened in the early 90s... every rock band from Seattle was considered grunge no matter how different their sound was. Nirvana sounded nothing like Alice In Chains. Pearl Jam sounded nothing like the Melvins.

I guess GnR were different from other ''rock'' bands in LA because they threw a lot of different rock genres in their music like punk and more bluesy stuff and that is why they appealed to a lot of people. Therefore their sound was different and some really good songs combined with the wild image they created is why they stood out from those cheesy metal bands.

The bluesy sound was a hallmark of many hard rock/hair metal bands of the era.

I fail to see anything remotely related to punk in gnr's sound whatsoever.

Certainly the bluesy rock sound of their inspirations shines thru as well as the influence of their contemporaries at the time in sound, guitar style, lyrics and axl's screeching vocals. Those types of vocals were a big part of the scene and still are.

I'm not big on labels for the most part but if you're talking about gnr and their era, the big falsehood is that they were different or above the scene when they werent. They broke thru most of the pack in terms of record sales although a lot of those bands were also selling millions of albums and millions of singles. A lot of people hear the term hair metal and it's a turn off, a blight on music and that their favorite band couldnt possibly be part of it. So what if they are? It doesnt change your taste
