Slash is the "good-guy" and media-friendly... simple as that.

Slash gave Gn'R its classic sound, a sound new GN'R has moved away from.

the pain!

Post images of your GN’R T-shirts here. Preferably T-shirts you own and purchased at a gig. Post both front and back photo’s.

I own 2x GN'R T-shirts, both were picked up at different gigs. I will post photo’s later today.

When All Is Said and Done.. to coin a phrase ;P - Robin Finck was the ideal one to see GN'R into it's new era, an industrial direction. With the current 2011 line up, I sense that direction is no longer. Axl's backtracked. AC/DC tunes are being covered. Other than Chris Pittman, how can Silk worms ever fit in ?

That's one of the best GN'R shirts since the launch of Chinese Democracy.

I do own a t-shit I picked up at a gig back in2002. To be honest, it looks boring. I worn it at the gig, and never again. Of all the shirts on offer on the day, it was the best of a bad bunch.

To this day, my favourite GN'R shirt is the Pretty Tied Up shirt. I've worn it so many times, its gone from black to dark grey. Its made from such good material, its still in once piece, even if the Pretty Tied Up image is breaking up.

My Michelle - One of the best GN'R songs ever!

Edit: no Bach, please no Bach. He ruin's GN'R songs.

Has to be the fire / flames issue. Didn't that once happen before ?

Only a few could get away with such antics. Us mere mortals would be shown the door and probably be told never to come back.

That must have taken some time.

Since 4 out of 5 members are former gunners, shouldn't this be posted in the former gunners area ?

Frank is a beast on the kit. He's good enough in the technical department to do the material ranging from the Illusions to Chinese, but he always manages to put is own spin on things or inject his own groove without straying too far from what was originally done. It's also nice to hear You Could Be Mine done justice again, as I was never a fan of Brain's version. Frank is the best fit for the band right now. His groove, sound, and overall power help make the live show what it is. His "Guns N' Roses" chants that he starts are always fun too.

Beast ? I was thinking more along the line of Bear

Did Richard Fortus help Frank get the job ?

Brain / Brian has always maintained he'll be back. That appears to doubtful now.

Wasn't Brains / Brians original exit supposed to be brief, as his other half had a kid ? (that kid must be about 8 now)

I think Frank is easily the best drummer GN'R has ever had.

I got to talk to him for a minute after Chicago and he was the nicest guy in the world:

Is that a star on his hand ? - before or after Chinese ?

Axl Rose once said, words to the effect of, they (the fans) are not ready for Silk Worms.

Chinese Democracy represents transgression in a new direction (away from AFD / UYI) that could lead to more Silk Worms type material.

Since then, with the current tour, they've opted to add cover songs that include more AC/DC

- which blows the Silk Worms theory skyhigh.

You know when you've over cooked it, when your pancreas explodes.

Who gives a flying fuck where I'm trying to watch it from? I hate websites like this.

Carrying heavy guitars for 3 hours at a time while in pain can't be much fun.

Maybe you should have let the dolphin crowd surf and make its own way to the stage.
