    Fortus and Ferrer fired FROM THE COMPULSIONS

    in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS

    Posted

    Guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer, who are also part of Guns N 'Roses, were fired from the side project The Compulsions. Fortus was even replaced by a former member of GN'R: Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. Image In an interview with the Talking Metal podcast, The Compulsions frontman Rob Carlyle explained the reasons for his resignation. "Some behaviors and attitudes behind the scenes were very coarse and after a while they became more trouble than they were worth. There is no other way to put it in. And it's a shame because the music we did together is great," he said. . Carlyle also told how he came to the name of Bumblefoot for the band. "I've been looking for another guitarist and I thought 'what kind of musician could I get?'" Number one, "the song always comes first. And Bumblefoot fills those prerequisites, "he said. Rob said that Bumblefoot "is a gentleman, plays a lot and has worked well."

    Don't Damn Me is a killer riff, a killer Slash riff and one of the coolest riffs anyone has ever done in my opinion and one that is I think both harder than Sweet Child to do and gives you more accomplishment as a guitarist to learn, but I'm cool with Sweet Child Being #1 because you'd be fucking kidding yourself to say "Popularity doesn't matter to how great a song is"....it kinda does, you're pleasing a more diverse crowd and that always kicks ass and its one you'd tout yourself if you wrote the fucking song. In a group of well known songs, to have your well known song with such an iconic riff that instantly gets people going (even when a poorly skilled cover band pops it off) a song that speaks to their soul and has such meaning... you're a god damn fool if you can deny the power of that. 

    What good is a great riff if the majority of people have never heard it? Saying popularity doesn't matter is usually the losers way of making excuses for why his opinion isn't wrong or in this case why his favorite song doesn't suck. Its certainly hard to say that popularity means something today with how crappy all that popular rap and hip hop crap has gotten, but still when you pull yourself away from the fads theres the music that rises above that through time. The Fox song everyone thought was a fad, I thought wtf when I first heard it, but its actually a very genius song and years later I can appreciate why it got popular. 

    The purpose of the list is to choose from songs that are very well known and take the best out of those. There can still be awesome riffs, but never underestimate the minds of millions of people's ability to choose a song that speaks to our basic primal urges. 

    Yeah...I like "don't damm me" too...

    But seems even GNR don't care about the song that much...

    To be fair, GNR were on top of the world last time Axl & Slash released an album of original material and it was almost 26 years ago. Metallica have been around releasing stuff throughout the years so the notoriety/excitement of a GN'R release would be significantly more. Even more so if it had a few kickass radio friendly songs.

    Metallica is miles away from GNR in so many ways...but I agree with you about "radio friendly songs"

    Nobody needs a new album from GN'R more than anyone needed the new Metallica album. Yes, it would be amazing to get a new album, but like it or not, the world won't erupt from a new Guns album. The forum might crash, but the world won't lose their shit over a new album. It'll be in the media for a few weeks and then we'll stop hearing about it because that's how the media works.

    Wao Adler! Much more better than the new one. I'm sure Frank is a nice guy and nothing against him personally. It's just about the style how he adds drum parts to a song. And with his fills the song sounds not as good anymore. A drummer style/person can change the whole texture of a song. 

    GNR doesn't need a nice guy...need a fucking real good drummer...Axl should learn with The Cult...always great drummers...
