    M.Shadows on GNR

    You also jammed with Duff on “It’s So Easy.”

    It was so cool, man—it was just thrown together. We’d been planning on doing it for a long time and he just couldn’t make it to a rehearsal at the same time that we could make it to rehearsal. We ended up being on tour and then him playing a show in LA the night before the Revolver Awards, so we never practiced it. We just kept talking to one another—“Are you sure we got this?” And Duff was like, “Hey, man, I know how to play it; everything will be OK.” We’re like “Fuck, dude, yeah, I’m sure you know how to play it but we’re just makin’ sure.” We can’t just walk up there on TV and play a song for the first time and he seemed to think it was gonna be fine and it was. It was awesome; we played it really well and it gelled and we had a good time with it. But I was definitely very scared about that performance over anything else that night.

    Guns were an influence on Avenged back in the day?

    Oh, yeah; they were my favorite band growing up. And they probably still are—there are a couple bands that I’ve really gotten into in the last few years like Pink Floyd and some of the classics. But Guns N’ Roses Use Your Illusion I and II are two of my favorite records of all time.

    Do you have any feelings about the Chinese Democracy record?

    There are great songs there and Axl is a great singer; he’s an amazing singer. It’s hard because a lot of times it’s that feeling a band gives you when you know they’re a band and you know what it’s about. And there’s so much drama that goes around that camp. I’ve met Bumblefoot and a couple of the guys in that band and they’re great guys and great players—it’s just really hard to play in that shadow of what Guns N’ Roses was. And I think that kind of takes you away from when you’re listening to a record and what it’s all about. What made Dark Side of the Moon so great is some of the mystique and where it was coming from and just the authenticity of it. And that’s what kinda sucks about the new Guns N’ Roses—it’s really hard to put your finger on it but it’s not the same thing. I think for all of us it would be really nice if they could just get it together and do some stuff but that’s probably never gonna happen.

    Why isn't Axl inducted to the Walk of Fame?

    Slash acting like a cunt and getting verbally smacked down by W.A.R!!

    u do know Axl later apologized for that and admitted he was wrong :o

    theres a first (and last) time for everything

    Bullshit. The first thing Slash says in the video is "It's called a clothing change", so how is Axl wrong? Slash said it.

    Lets see a source for that, or GTFO.

    AXL: Let me say something about us being at each others throats: We haven't

    really been that way in the past year and a half. l love the guy. We're like

    opposite poles of energy, and we balance each other out. We push each other

    to work harder and complement each other that way. We had a run-in in Dayton

    (Ohio), because both myself and Dougie thought he said something shitty to

    me onstage. That was the night I cut my hand to the bone. Backstage we have

    monitors much like the ones onstage; and while l was back there dealing with

    my hand, I thought I heard him take a potshot at me. I wrapped my hand up in

    a towel and was like, "Lets get it taken care of, so l can finish the show."

    I came back onstage and was a dick to him and told him I'd kick his fucking

    ass in front of 20,000 people. That was fucked up. l was wrong, and l

    apologized the second l realized I was mistaken. Someone who is supporting

    me as strongly as he does is a hand I never want to bite.

    why dont you GTFO

    I can clearly hear Slash say it in the video, what do you hear?

    Axl and Dougie heard it to, perhaps they weren't able to play it back, or maybe Axl is just being the bigger man. I love Axl, he would have done anything to keep the band together, look how diplomatic he is about the situation. Sure, he's quick to react, but you can see how honest and sincere he is in this quote. Nice one Axl! :thumbsup:

    Words of a defeated man.

    Guitarists that can match up to Bucket?

    in 2011

    Posted · Edited by Goose!

    Buckethead's a great guitarist no doubt.And only a handful could probably match up to his technique.I feel that he's more suited to his solo stuff like Jordan.I don't think he fits too well with rock.

    You definitely feel more soul/emotion from guitarists like Slash,Jimmy Page,and the like..

    What was your first impression of Guns?

    in 2010

    I used to listen to 'Welcome to the Jungle' when I was a kid back in the 90's,but my love for music had disappeared and it was revived after listening to hip hop and rap.I started to hate that genre, and went to a more Indie Rock scene with the likes of Coldplay,John Mayer,All American Rejects,3 Doors Down,Lifehouse,etc.. I picked up the guitar back in 2008, and I asked my bro what was the first song he learned to play and he told me Knocking on Heavens Door by Guns n' Roses.So, I checked their live performance at the Freddie Mercury tribute,and I was amazed. Slash was like some mysterious guy with hair covering his face,and with some amazing talent.Axl was running around stage singing great with so much energy. These 2 really inspired me to rock rock3

    Guns N' Roses to be introduced into Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

    Honestly at this point GNR should not even get inducted. Axl and $la$h should get inducted seperately as 2 entities.

    both will happen probably. After all, people like Clapton, Beck and Page are in there multiple times...

    That's because were inducted for work on the Yardbirds,and their solo projects. Slash may get in again for his work on Velvet Revolver and his solo stuff.On the other hand, Axl will only get inducted for his work on Guns 'N Roses.
