A bit offtopic but I always thought that having DJ Ashba playing some of the biggest solos with Bumble in the band is really really really disrespectful to Bumblefoot 

Same could be said of Robin playing while Bucket is in the band. Personally the only thing that annoyed me was that they sort of sold him as the lead guitarist of that lineup instead of Bumblefoot who was more talented in my opinion.

II over I. Don't cry is better, Breakdown is in it, Locomotive. I also can't stand You ain't the first (and you ain't the best either honey) sorry for the bad joke. 

Also I like Estranged more than November Rain, all the way until the end a November-esque tips of ending would have been awesome in that track, and you know what, I'm just much more into it, whenever I want to listen to studio versions of Guns N' Roses, that's the first album that always pops up, along with CD which is my personal favorite.

Where does Tyler fit in? He seems to just be a total freak of nature. 

Tyler has been working in his voice for decades. He's easily one if not the greatest singer you will find, specially at his age. That being said, his shows are far shorter than Axl's, and his songs are arguably less demanding. So there's that to think about as well.

Lol. This would never happen pre-reunion. You can definitely feel a bit of GNR creeping back into all parts of society a bit more after being pretty much ignored for the last 20 years. Pretty cool they're relevant again. If only they made a good album now, eh?

Didn't Lana del Rey wear GN'R clothes in 2012? I really don't think is so weird, maybe you're looking to much into it.

Axl Rose

Bucket head

Bumblefoot

Slash

Tommy

Brain

Melisa

Dizzzy

Background collaboration from Izzy, Pitman and Huge, you know the guys that don't like touring so much but can write with Axl more often than not.

Ñahh is a rock show, I mean I want an album as much as the next guy (with or without Slash/Duff) but if it doesn't happen then so be it, just like if something leaks we'll hear it regardless of the desires of the band. Let's be honest, we don't do anything for our artists, and they don't do anything for us. They just offer us a product and we choose if we buy it or not, and if the current incarnation of GN'R isn't good enough to you for whatever reason that's completely OK, just don't buy their stuff.

If they wanted immature and annoying they should have brought Adler back.

They have use for her, not so much for popcorn. Plus unlike him, she's not a liability.

How thirsty are GnR fans that there's an 8 pg discussion over another demo version of a 16 year old song?

At this point the forum would have a collective orgasm if Spaghetti Incident 2 was leaked with GnR covers of Bieber.

That's nothing to be honest, plus it's normal that whenever there's a new version of a GN'R song, by GN'R the GN'R fans are gonna discuss it. Aerosmith fans still talk about many of the unreleased tracks (apparently their vault is even bigger than GN'R's and they're getting desperate with the upcoming retirement of the band). It's just the way it goes.

Unfortunately you're right. Beside that they can’t rule out the possibility of finding him dead in a hotel room or a bus tour. Very dramatic? Yes, but it’s a real possibility. Indeed.

Sadly that is another possibility, nothing personal against Steven but he's to much of a hazard and to little of a reward, I don't want to be mean but the two guys that were essential for this tour to happen are there (and I say this not being the biggest Slash fan of the forum) so of course they get some leeway going into this tour, but if anyone else starts causing troubles we can't expect them to throw everything away for them. At the end of the day I'm just glad that there's still a version of GN'R out there and even though this might not be my favorite lineup overall, they're still putting great shows for the public to see and hear.

I don't realizability is an issue since he would be sharing drum duties with Frank anyway. If he falls off the wagon he goes to rehab and the tour rolls along. The fans attending these shows wouldn't bar an eye. 

I don't think it's bad blood between him and Axl either since Axl is a different person and has moved on and buried the hatchet. 

It's either Steven not being 100% off drugs completely or they fear what the road and tourlife will effect his sobriety. Maybe deep down they know he isn't as strongwilled and don't want to be responsible for him completely falling off the wagon again 

But why add an "IF" when you can have a secure situation, plus the drama that you know would happen if he was fired again, why risk having to deal with the media, fans backlash and everything that comes from it just for this guy? Why would they do that to themselves, they already gave him a little something and look how he reacted. No one ever fucked Steven, Steven fucked himself, repeatedly.

And you think  Axl not smoking joint? Came on...😎

Is not about the joint in and of itself, it's about having a guy that has drugs issues and alcohol issues doing anything that might compromise the biggest tour in GN'R's career since the nineties. If Steven was more like Slash during his darker periods (drunk as fuck but still reliable) no one would care what he puts into his body, but as he's proven over and over again he just can't be trusted. I mean they all did drugs to their own levels but they were also functional enough. Steven on the other hand is not.

At least in this case he was saying something good about Axl.

that would depend, does Axl likes having people talking about private events of his life? I mean there's nothing wrong with him saying this but I can see how Axl may take it as "this guy can´t stop talking about me and my band"

Axl cried?

Wow... why does he have such a different opinion of Adler these days then?

The Erin incident, lawsuits and a big mouth are a good way to get on anyones bad side, plus being a mess doesn't help him either.

Well, I loved his solo music, (specially the first record) I liked the replacements although not as much, I loved both Riad and Going Down (I still hate him and Axl for.never playing it live) I also enjoy his vocals far more than Duff's, so I guess he's my favorite bassist from Guns N' Roses overall. Honestly I miss him in GN'R but as long as he is happy I'm cool with it, would love if he came back for a spot with Axl in a show, maybe to finally play Going Down or Riad.

The way he bops his head and moves around the only explanation is he's liking what's coming through his ear monitors because, like you say, it's not what he's getting to play himself. It's cool. 

Hey, Axl once wanted to re-record Appetite with the CD band. Maybe he'll now re-record Chines with this band without all the clutter. 

Man, I really don't feel the same about Twat: I feel like Slash has done amazing every single time. I mean he plays Finck and Bucket's part's roughly 80% note-for-note. It's Axl who has sucked on it almost every time since Madrid '06. In fact, it's never been played so frequently as it has recently (likely because it's such a pig to sing) so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Slash or Duff who have called an audible for it, rather than Axl. 

Wouldn't that be a sight, 7th GN'R album would be CD with Slash and Duff... Maybe then he would actually write something for Better and TIL. On the other hand I wonder if Axl would then release the rerecorded AFD as well just for kicks. I certainly wouldn't mind.

Setlist so far?

This one would need AC/DC levels of rasp to work.

Slash's take on Robins solo makes the song great. Actually, Slash's take on all the CD solos make the songs more enjoyable. He was always the missing piece of the puzzle. There's a difference with just playing guitar and playing with emotion. Every single "lead" guitarist post Slash (with the exception of Richard) has lacked the emotion that made the original songs great. Just my two cents. 

He sucks in Twat, ruined Better, and is totally mediocre in his renditions of Catcher and Sorry. TiL is a gamble from night to night and the only two songs where he is constantly good are CD and Madagascar. And that's coming from a fan of both CD and him, they just don't mix well live and make me wish he would give more of those leads to Richard.

For the record I was in the "Atlas Shrugged video chat incident" years ago you mentioned @AlterL and @Sosso.

He did not play the song. He said hed play one chord and played a D major lol. Thats it. It was more of a joke!

 

This one was after that incident, no chat apparently it was during a party so that's why we have no video of it. Also the 2014's tour was already over by then.

is this a joke?! What bucket remix?

The remix that Evader did some years ago. Pretty great if you ask me but I guess is not as popular as some of his other work, he is the guy that did the Silkworms mix that sounded like a studio track using the live renditions of the song.

Love it both ways, Bumble's take is my favorite. Anyone enjoyed Buckethead's remix?

Ohhhh, I totally misunderstood you, my bad. I thought you were saying fans were mad at him because he wouldn't play the songs for them.

It was years ago now, I'm still wondering what did those lucky guys heard when he played that song for them. It's funny how we haven't had any leaks in so long, I thought that by this hour we would have at least that track.

Wait, what? People were mad at Ron for not sharing something that's not his to share??

It's not like he was passing an MP3 file all over the place, apparently he just played an acoustic version of the song to a small group of fans, can't truly blame him for playing something he probably worked so hard on and now would never get to play live. I can see why that would piss of certain groups like the GN'R camp

So bummed you can't make it!

I keep thinking about that! I'd love to hear anything unreleased  

Apparently that's why some people were mad at him, but considering they're already mad at him it couldn't hurt to ask

Didn't some guy recently claimed he smoked some weed with Adler not to long ago? If so then maybe he isn't as sober as he claims he is.

Someone should request Atlas to him, I heard that he played it to a small crowd once before.
