    I cannot believe people here are questioning Queen's hard rock credentials! Try 'Stone Cold Crazy' and 'Tie Your Mother Down' for starters.

    Exactly! Queen is incredible and so is Freddie. We all love Axl but Freddie is widely regarded as the best rock singer ever.

  2. Freddie Mercury over Steven Tyler.

    No Freddy?

    Freddie Mercury over Steven Tyler.

    No way!! He was just too feminine onstage , with the body language and his gay persona...gayness and rock n roll don`t go along well ....at the end of the day when you`re up there performing before a major audience behaving like a straight alpha male is just as important as the music , I mean that`s just another reason why I liked the original GnR in the first place , Slash jumpin 10 feet ramps and axl runnin like hell ( when on top of their game they didn`t even mess up the songs in the process)

  3. What's with all the Fortus love? He's a great rhythm player, but have we seen enough lead from him to know that he can handle the shred parts on CD?

    He doesn't play foot-shaped guitars or fucks up 90% of what he plays. I can totally understand the love for him.

    I get liking the dude for being dependable and not doing any stupid gimmicks, but I don't get the assurance he could handle the Buckethead (and even Bumblefoot) parts on the songs. Maybe he could, but have we seen it before?

    My guess is he can't. He plays fast but it's a completely different style. I doubt they will play a lot of CD material if they ever tour again. Ashba and him would do fine in a GH (Slash songs) setlist.

    No, Ashba wouldn't. He simply would not. Not only he can't handle those parts properly, the more complex bits he plays the more people will criticize him for not being talented enough.

  4. Yeah I hadn't heard them do that before.

    Also, what's all this nonsense about which version of Layla this is? That was the famous outro which is the only reason Layla was ever called a good song. Clapton re-released it years later as an acoustic bit with nothing really awesome about it.

    It was only played at the last 3 gigs in Vegas last year.

    Little snippets of it here and there.. https://youtu.be/yO15w3Sg6pc?t=6m45s ;)

    Ron is an incredible player, he can play the fuck out of anything you give him, and one of few who can play Bucket's parts. He cared about the fans and cared about the band and it's future, he'll be missed.

    I'll miss that outro. Well, we have some proshot recordings so I can hear them again :)

    It sounds good. Enjoyed that.

    It reminds me of Axl and Slash's Dust in the Wind performance. :(

    This is what GnR has become, bro. There's only one good thing about GnR - the past. I just can not enjoy GnR anymore.

  5. so you think that a song like This I Love isn't totally a Queen-wannabe song? you've got a lot to learn then. most of the choruses, countless vocal lines, song progressions, etc - there are several Queen-inspired-wannabe moments on this album.

    Oh, this isnt new, by the way. Axl tried to write his own Bohemian Rhapsody - he called it November Rain.

    Then you have a Zep wannabe in Riad. I could go on and on but i made my point...

    This I Love never reminded me of Queen. More like that Meatloaf guy kind of ballads.

    I've got a lot to learn? Yeah, right.

    I don't see comparison between Bohemian Rhapsody and November Rain. But if you think so, that's fine. Nov Rain is an amazing song and it comes nowhere near this horrid Argentina tune.

    You can go on and on and on at your attempt of equating Guns N' Roses best songs to these shits pulled by Bumblefoot, but you will fail every time and I will LOL at it.

    uh, did I mention Bfoot? Guess not. I am talking about Axl And his Queen inspiration. Go on and ask him about it - Queen is one of his biggest inspirations and Freddie is probably his favorite singer. You said that there arent many Queen-esque moments on CD, I said that I hear a lot of Queen, especially on the choruses, multiple vocal tracks put together, etc. You had to bring Bfoot out of the blue so you could feel better? I dont know, but Axl had a lot of Queen moments in his career and he would be the first to confirm that.

    I meant wannabe in terms of trying to sound similar, not in a 'he tried But failed miserably'.

    I like your avatar.

    As a fan of Bumble, I can understand what you're saying. Bumble is heavily influenced by Queen. You can hear it in his music including this new solo album. His whole Catcher lead work is of course a great example of how he can mimic May's style too, specifically. He knows how to incorporate that style and Queen as a whole in his music and the whole opera thing is taken to a metal ish place.

    That doesn't mean he fits to the Guns sound. I'm one of those people that enjoys most of his work on Chinese, but I must admit, Axl's style doesn't sound anything like Bumble's style. They're both influenced by many things, not just Queen and the 2 don't fit together very well.

    Robin's and Bucket's style of playing really fits with Axl's on Chinese, and Slash's way of playing was perfect.

    Bumble was never a good choice stylistically for Guns if I'm trying to be objective. He's still an amazing guitar player though. A rare talent that noodles a little too much and is not for everyone.

    Yeah, I get what you're saying. However, I'd still be interested in listening to Ron/Robin plus Axl songs, but that didn't happen. Think about that intro to Going Down, and the whole lead/rhythm section. Amazing intro and guitar work. I'm not interested in a Ron/DJ song because DJ's work is generic, boring and uninspired. He'd turn a good song into a bunch of generic bad sounding notes

    Regarding my avatar, I can't wait for Zelda U, I love that pic :D

  7. I heard that song "Argentina" today...

    It is the most horrible thing I ever heard in a long time.... A Queen wanna be song that sounds like 80's worst heavy metal..... :vomit:

    It sucks, omg, thanks lord that shit didn't make CD2.

    Most of Chinese Democracy sound like a queen wanna be that sounds like 00' hard rock. and with Axl and the band working on the song, it sure has the potential to be great.

    The only song in CD with a Queen-esque air was "Catcher in The Rye" with Brian May on guitar. The version that made CD has very little reminiscence to Queen. So there.

    BBF's "Argentina" is a major embarassment. Really sad he used the name of a beautiful country to entitle such a horrible song.

  8. Excellent album. My favorites right now are Argentina, Higher, Women Rule The World, and Never Again

    Definitely his best work

    I thought the same. Loved the guitar work and vocal hamonies...

    i'd add 'I dont know who to pray to anymore" to that list...

  9. I'm glad Ron's out of this mess. In fact IN MY OPINION Axl should give up already, do a reunion tour and quit altogether. Maybe relase a few studio albums eventually? He does not need to keep going. He does not need people telling him how good he still is and that he still has it. I love the guy but enough is enough. It's clear that *ONE* album in 15 years after his [failed] comeback and almost 25 years after the illusions that he's the laziest musician in the world, or maybe the whole world is after him and he can't do anything about it - doesn't matter, his new GnR [which I used to love and support, mainly because of the talented guys he had with him, like Brain, Robin, Bucket, Tommy and Ron] is the most unfunctional band in the world. The world has changed, people do not love rock n' roll like they used to. He will never be like Muse or Coldplay in terms of public or media support and coverage no matter how hard he tries. Now think that the managers of his band are not real managers - they are not used to this. Not their fault here, but they left us in the dark for so long that it's too late. I also wish TB all the best, especially Vanessa, her kid and her new family, but there's no way to bring back the best part of Axl in terms of performance. It's [long] gone.

    I wish Axl all the best, and not that it matters, but I'm not supporting this mess anymore. Good luck to him, but many of his fans already gave up. As I said... it's far too late already.

  10. I always thought Axl sounded a bit too raspy coming in at the end of Bohemian. It doesn't flow with the rest of the performance. He fucked up on We Will Rock You too. He got the tempo wrong and then did this weird high pitched thing to try to cover over his mistake. Makes me cringe every time I hear it. :lol:

    Yeah, exactly. Thank you for this. :lol:

  11. She's much better than Ashba, that's for sure. Keep Orianthi and Richard, mute Ashba's guitar on stage (he will not notice, we all know that) and we're good.


    Oh, who am I kidding... at this point I'd like to see those who actually carried this band play together as an act of respect to each other. A few years ago I'd be interested to hear what Bucket, Robin, Axl (or even Ron, had he created something with Axl), created with Axl. But now I believe that even most of his loyal fans simply do not care.

  12. Thanks God a DVD never came out of this. Prostitute is one of Axl's worst performances ever. Well, one of GnR's worst performances actually. There are only two good things about that performance - Frank, that did very well, much better than I expected, and Ron, that did Buckethead's parts justice live. DJ was the biggest traiwreck, as always, closely followed by Axl. Catcher had a great performance, bar Axl. The best thing about Axl here was his background vocals heard clearly - at least they're not lead vocals :lol:

  13. I feel like I'm betraying you guys or something. :lol:

    The ones feeling let down are the ones who call you a hater who bashes CD without even listening to it, comes here only to bash GNR and Axl, etc...

    Yeah, that throws a bit of a wrench in their operation, doesn't it? I guess they could always say I'm making it up so I don't look like a hater. :lol:

    I'm not gonna listen to CD as a whole again, I'll probably not like it as much as the last time I heard (like, 2 years ago, maybe more). I think I'll be the new hater here. :lol: I'm kidding, but chances are I'm not gonna hold it too high in my standarts.

    It is still a great album to me, but with too much layers of guitars and synth and that 'masterpiece' feel that never really became masterpiece.
