I watched the stream.

The band sounded fantastic.

Axl, Slash and Duff really are the core of the GN'R sound - the Guns N' Roses sound is back, it's just totally different than what new GN'R sounded like, incredible how "just" Slash and Duff make such a difference. Axl sounded great and seemed in a great mood.

Even Fortus fills perfectly on the band sound, no more crazy / weird guitar parts that some of the previous guitar players brought - this is pure no bullshit Rock N' Roll.

Loved the instrumentals as well, great sounding band - the GN'R sound is back.

I'm just not totally sold on the drumming.

Cut the crap.

From the little I've seen and heard Axl was on fire and electric.

He stood out from the rest of the band, seems like he was really enjoying it.

I'm real happy Axl and Slash could get it together again, they're the best.

Life's too short to hang on to the past and to resentment.

Just finished some more home demos.

These are just simple guitars, drums and bass. The wah solo at the end was a one take improvising so it has f* ups but I wanted to keep it true to the recording so it's all unedited.

It's 3 new songs, on the video description you have the direct time link to each one.

If you just want the last song you can listen to it here:

I'm not planning on it, haven't anything new to show neither have played much latelly; still I'll sure be voting

New tracks are taking forever to record; now my wah is broken so gonna take even longer, the wah pedal needs a new pot. Working on making the wah remotely controlled without a pot.

In the meantime today had nothing better to do so here's a raw, 1 track unedited and out of tune pure blues:

Sleaze is back! Great singing and cool song as always, you should get signed!

I'm recording 2 new tracks (glued together); it ain't done yet and might take a while, in the meantime here's a small teaser:

Sad sad news.

Now people can't even attend a restaurant, a football match, a concert without wondering if they'll get back home safe.

Things are out of control in Europe.

Everybody gets in and out real easy and it has been happening for too long. French born citizens themselves are doing this, they go to terrorist countries, have training there, come back to their country and wait for orders.

Close the borders - now!

I know that feeling as well.

Rule number one in business - take the oportunity as soon as it's presented; if you want it grab it, don't save it for latter!

On the other hand, the 2014 lineup had that "120th Anniversary" inlay on the 12th fret, not everyone is a fan so maybe that's why it was so cheap?

I haven't had much time for recording new stuff or even play latelly; in the meantime here's a guitars & piano only mix of Lisbon Nights:

lol, ok...

I've been enjoying my 2203 a lot and found the perfect recording tone out of it when plugged into a 4x12 cab with Greenbacks - sounds just like me.

1.5M per 2h show seems low ?? Imagine 2 days in a row in a tour of several months playing every 3-5 days , that's a lot of money involved.

Great review man, glad you liked the show

That sounds fantastic.

I liked the instrumental side of the song; the vocals don't stand out I think.

Keep it going, share more stuff!

I think you're a great singer and except for the 1st song, I liked all the other ones. I don't think your voice is similar to Bon Jovi at all; if anything your singing style reminds me of Roxy Blue singer (a good thing) but don't worry about similarities, as long as you're not trying to sing like someone else your fine, it's your voice, its cool and you sing great in tune!

You need to develop your project, the hardest part of anyband you have already - a good singer.

Here's my cover of the great Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well:

Recorded this yesterday and today.
Had to match it with an interesting video so you wouldn't foccous on the vocals; I would rather not sing but couldn't leave blanks in the song.

What you think?

I could have bought the 2555x but I've got the 2555 SL already, which seems to be better build as it's partial handwired; the 2555x is all PCB, the tubes and pots are board mounted, it's not the same quality.

I kept telling you the day would come for me to own a 800 and a 1959. Now only the 1959 is missing.

I know Slash is using the 2203 reissue now with some mods but the tones I'm getting with mine are a lot better than what he's getting with his 800s. I'm getting from perfect AC/DC (think Ballbreaker for reference) to 80s Scorpions, Accept, Cinderella, Aerosmith, GN'R, ... Slash is getting a thin trebly tone, don't get it. Maybe it's the mics or pedals he's using, I'm not a fan - and he used to have the best tone ever either on the records with the modded Marshalls and live with the boosted 2555, I dunno how it went down.

I'm sure the Mesa Boogie will be great; on this pro-level of amps there are not bad amps, they're all great; some just might suit you better than others for your playing style and for the type of music you play. I know exactly the tone I like so my amps are all slight variations of the classic Marshall distinct tone.

Maybe this time you'll record a demo of your amp before you sell it? eh eh

I would keep the Marshall (I would always keep a Marshall over pretty much anything else, lol...) - plus it's a Plexi!

I never owned a Mesa Boogie, I've heard other guys playing it live (I think they were Rectifiers) and sounded great and heavy, but it's not my thing (classic rock tone).

In the meantime, it's been a long time since I've been looking for this and this time I pulled the trigger - it arrived today, brand new, meet my new Marshall that will rip your heads off on my future recordings:

Did I needed it? No.

Did I wanted it? Yes, for a long time already.

Very nice, you sing great and both songs are cool! I think you should start a thread about your project and keep posting updates and new songs as you record so we can follow you, keep rocking!

Flip the DS around and you've got the classic Marshall boost pedal used só vastly by many players - Boss SD-1 , worth checking if you want a boost in front of your amp.

You're getting better, this time it took almost a month to change amp again! It's great that you can keep trying new stuff without getting ruined...

Adler did played with another band without being a solo project - after he "left" GN'R he joined forces with Davy Vain (from Vain) to reform Road Crew and recorded several tracks, latter released by Vain.

Altough not technically brilliant, Adler's great - he has a distinctive and recognizable druming. If you hear to the UYI demos with him they sound great - search youtube for the Locomotive demo, as soon as you hear it you know it's Adler. He has that cool distinctive snare/cymbals/hi-hat patterns that you easely recognize, that's greatness to me.

Also it's funny how he plays with limited technique, raising his elbows all the time,... still he sounds unique, true talent.

One day I was driving and on the radio some song started playing. I had no idea who the band was, who the members were, I just tought that the druming sounded great and just like Steven Adler. After the song was done the announcer said it was Vain - Get Up. Latter I searched for it and found out that it was Adler on drums, true story.

Adler's the GN'R drumer. Unfortunatelly I don't think he's reliable enough to be considered for anything serious, I wouldn't take him on the road, only for studio recording. Still no one could properly fill his shoes for the GN'R drum sound.

That's great Omar, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac were amazing. Like it this way, Oh Well , Rattlesnake Shake, Albatross, Plus Peter Green, Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer were a great trio of guitar players.

For those that don't know, Fleetwood Mac started as a blues band with Peter Green as frontman.

Peter Green was just great, probably my fav guitar player. This is my fav instrumental ever along with Albatross (the video's nice too!):
