I saw SMKC last week and it was amazing how much energy the band had. Just 2 hours of straight up Rock. Then I watched Guns at the Whiskey in 1986 and was reminded that they were a great hard rock band with lots of attitude and energy at one point. 
 

And while I get the whole evolution thing, I’d love to see them go back to their roots for awhile at least. 
 

Leave the pianos and keyboards at home, play as a 5 piece, limit the show to 4 ballads, cut the songs over 7 mins, limit the guitar changes etc. Don’t drag songs out like KOHD. Even if the show is shorter, just keep the energy going. 

Id love to see that. And sure Axl did ACDC which is a similar vibe.

Am I alone? 

I think Axl needs somewhere to hide. His voice up front and centre in a accoustic setting leaves his vocal issues very exposed.

Axl is busy cutting and pasting his vocals from 7 years ago.

Hope you guys like clippings and bad mixing too. Cant wait.

The title cut was a bad choice for the first single for the 2008 album. Better, IMO was the obvious best choice. TWAT, while amazing, doesn't strike me as radio friendly. My second favorite song off that album is This I Love, which I also don't think is radio friendly. 

If you judge by current streams This I Love would have been the best first single.

But everyone get's a certificate for these awards too, and maybe the envelope saying whos the winner. It would be quite lame to have an actual ceremony just to give them a certificate as if they were finishing high school. lol 

''One of the oldest bands without an actual Grammy, here's your certificate, congrats, bozos!''

Yep it is lame and i dont expect any of the AFD 5 to be there to get their certificates.

He definitely was going for heavy nostalgia in his looks for most of the reunion years, but it feels like he found a better natural style again in the last few years.

On stage.

And off stage.

 

Always has the worst pants possible.

Is this like the honorary oscar? Do they get an actual Grammy? And they totally deserve one.

No they will receive a certificate.

Eligible recipients will receive an official certificate from the academy.

Wu tang, cypress hill, public enemy, ICE T or ICE Cube would all be great fits and add something to the line up and show. However i dont think it would add much to ticket sales. It'd still be a majority older white crowd who would like this. A young black hip hop fan isn't going to go and check out gnr for $200.

I understand the argument people saying that motley sell to the same crowd, but when you have seen gnr already, it gives you more bang for your buck. So i don;t think you really need a crossover audience, you just need to give more incentive to your existing audience to turn up. Any big band that are slightly lesser than GnR in the standings would be great. When i saw GnR at Hyde park in 2023, a big sell was the darkness and the pretenders being on the bill. Ive seen GnR 17 times since 06. and axl is getting worse each time, so if you aren't giving me a brand new album played in full, you have to give me 1/2 other really big live acts to make it a must see. 

To me Motley is really a bad fit and the reason is the well known vocal issues Vince has plus no mick mars (the only talented one live lol)

I can only imagine the media and backlash of a overpriced stadium tour with 2 struggling singers.

Yea they've had some 'odd choices' open 1 or 2 shows (Skrillex, Deftones, etc) but would be cool if they did it for a full tour.

Would be good to through a classic hiphop band in there. Say wutang for example.

I haven't seen them, but I know people who have. If you like their music, their show is enjoyable. But 'pyro, big choruses and big hits' also applies to bands like Motley lol. Someone like Carrie is supposed to be a left-field choice, she's successful on her own and would bring a different audience, but there's also a connection.

I'd like to see them get 'weird' with the opening bands - Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Yelawolf, Foxy Shazam, Jelly Roll, Stop Light Observations, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, there's tons of cool artists they could bring on tour. I've seen 6 shows since 2016 and Alice In Chains opened 4 of them... I like AIC but give me some variety lol.

They did mix it up earlier on with nitl.

I remember seeing skrillex for example.

Did he really say that? Later, I think on the chats here, Axl said Slash was the reason he couldn’t do a classic hard rock record because he left and there isn’t anybody else filling these shoes, something like this.

Axl will blame everybody and everything but himself for the lack of music.

"Guns N Roses are very hard to pin down to a date" is the understatement of the year. 

Poor old Slash. He must be sick of these questions. 

Yep and its not his fault there isnt any new album or songs.

I know he would love to have them out too. Same as duff.

Never heard the song before... Love Slash but this wasn't for me at all.. I couldn't even finish it. Back to the new album...

Same I dislike gosling and the song. Slash seem out of place here for me.

Can't get over the song, I know it's a cover but I find it very refreshing how different it sounds and pull away from the traditional Slash sound/tone as well as Johnsons vocal performance. The licks, vocals and Steven harmonica mix well together. 

I play the song on Amazon music and really like the booty twerking animation 🤣

Overall excited for the album. I'm not too familiar with blues but I keep playing Killing Floor and Black Betty (Metal Church cover) back to back. 

This song instantly made me think of this Black Betty cover.

Your black betty cover made me go back to listening to Spiderbaits version lol

Good selection of tunes for a blues record, the standards pretty much.

Killing Floor tune with Brain was pretty good....My eyebrow raised a bit when I saw Demi Lovato is singing Papa was a Rolling Stone, gonna be interesting how that turned out. 

Demi has recorded with Slash before (solo at 2:36). Im not a fan of her vocals tbh not sure if she can pull it off.

So was Axl wild in 1988?

His assless chaps say yes

I hope he asked Axl to record at least a verse on one song 😂

If his lucky Axl will give him scraps of a 20+ year vocal to work with

How do we know his financial situation and did it get bad because of the pandemic and poor health, preventing touring...(his main income?)

It would be nice if Axl (and/or the band) could look after him a bit...opening act role even would be a nice gesture on the next tour...a strange one but that would be kinda cool?

From what I remember he was having heart problems.

I don't remember Tommy said the song The General was named after his nickname in Gn'R, just explaining how he kinda got that nickname, but maybe I'm misremembering what he said.

I also could be misremembering

According to Brain, it's just a working title that stuck. They wrote it while eating General Tso's fried chicken, so they called that instrumental The General.

And according to Tommy its named after him as all other band memories called him the general lol

Well thats what I remember him saying in a interview somewhere

I thought it was the other way around  but I did wonder where his primary residence is if not Malibu 

I wondered that too, that's kind of weird since he's lived there for like ever 

Im sure he lives with Beta. The neighbour probably has only interacted with her im guessing so assumes she owns the place.

Well actually the other possibility his moved in with his offender buddy Fernando.
