  1. I'm not talking about the old band, we all heard those stories a hundred times... I'm talking about NuGuns. Other than Tommy and Dizzy, no-one from any incarnation of NuGuns has stood the distance. Buckethead left, Finck was fired/left, Brain left, Josh Freese came and went... the list goes on.

    Do you think it's Axl's stop-start approach to recording new music that drives these musicians away? Or do these guys view being in the band as just another job? It's not like these guys have any emotional or sentimental attatchment to Guns (certainly not like the old band would).

    I sometimes wonder how Axl views the revolving-door policy of the last decade. It must be frustrating - there's a new member in the band with practically every tour these days. Perhaps this is why we've yet to hear anymore material from the CD-era... Maybe Axl doesn't know what to do or how to market material that was written and recorded by members who are no longer around??

    You missed Chris Pittman. Brain had a child and is still associated with the band/was doing that remix stuff very recently. Josh was a long time ago and never played a single show with Guns, he was a studio guy.

    Finck left to do Nine Inch Nail's farewell tour/other reasons I don't know.

    Paul Huge was never really comfy playing with the band live from what I've read and Richard replaced him and has been there since 2002.

    Ever see Iron Maiden's membership change chart? Makes GN'R's look simple.

    In the end, I like the current lineup the most since the original, so I don't really care too much.

    Except most of Iron Maiden's lineup changes happened before they recorded their first album.

    Let's not compare apples and oranges here. Maiden has released how many more albums than GNR?

    GNR:

    AFD

    Lies

    UYI I

    UYI II

    CD

    Iron Maiden:

    Iron Maiden

    Killers

    The Number of the Beast

    Piece of Mind

    Powerslave

    Somewhere in Time

    Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

    No Prayer For The Dying

    Fear of the Dark

    X-Factor

    Virtual XI

    Brave New World

    Dance of Death

    A Matter of Life and Death

    The Final Frontier

    Not to mention the countless live DVDs and live CDs that Maiden has put out, along with monumental world tours. Yeah, they've had a few lineup changes (mainly singers), but they've also had a much larger amount of material. Oh, and they're still on tour. And Lies barely counts as an album.

    You forgot TSI, and before you say anything it still counts. It may have been an album of covers, but it is still a studio released album

  2. I always thought it was a great rock n roll record. People dissed it because it was all covers without taking the music into consideration. New Rose, human being & hair of the dog were big ones for me.

  3. heard through the grape vine there will be 3 shows 1 @ Bowery Ballroom, NY. 1 @ The Cat Club, LA. & 1 @ The House Of Blues, Las Vegas.
