    In your classic two guitar band, one guitar is the lead and the other steps way back as the rhythm guitarist. 4tus hasn't realized NO ONE is there to see him. It didn't matter in NuGNR b/c there was no Slash and lines were blurred. NOW, there is no blurring of lines....Slash is the lead...there should be a quiet, non-dynamic rhythm player...who is just in the background, providing a landscape for Slash to play over, simply playing chords in a reserved manner. 

    Instead, 4tus is acting like he is now the lead or sharing the lead, and it just doesn't work and Slash obviously feels this. Slash has no interest in competing with 4tus for the guitar limelight - he doesn't have to, he is Slash!!

    This could wind up being a big problem if 4tus doesn't step back real fast. Again, NO ONE wants to see or hear 4tus. Gilby knew the role to play - 4tus doesn't. It's not working and probably won't get better.

    4tus is a poser who doesn't understand his new role. Slash doesn't need to compete with him, but 4tus is forcing the issue. NO CHEMISTRY here, its plain and obvious. 4tus won't force Slash to "up his game", ala Axl's plan with with Zack in the 90s. 4tus is just messing up what the fans want - a free and happy Slash taking over his rightful role as the lead guitarist of his band, GNR. 

    Hey man, look there is one who will go to see Richard and i'm sure i'm not the only one. It looks like you really don't respect other people point of view?! You really know what you are talking about, right? I fully disagree with you. When you write this kind of posts please speak for yourself only! As a guitar player i will go to see them all. Slash and Richard are both really, really good guitar players and as far as i know Slash asked Richard to play with him before. So... yeah, he's good and also very versatile and doesn't need to step back at all. The overall sound of the show depends mostly on the mixing engineer, his hands are on the slides for every instrument in the band during the show and usually the mix that people in the crowd hear is different from the mix that is in their in-ear monitors.

    It is crazy, but the best crowd reaction GNR could end up getting in this "reunion" is from their surprise gig at the Troubadour. As long as Cell Phones are allowed at venues, and people continue to get soft, we will never again see crowds like we did in the 80's and 90's. 

    Just wait till they start to tour in Europe ;) There is a big difference.

    I noticed that too, but it's confirmed that the "Special Performance" is GN'R if you look at the schedule at the Coachella Live Stream site (not on youtube).

    Not sure why they labeled it as "Special Performance" on youtube.

    It might be because the GN'R stream will be sort of different from all the other bands' streams, being only a few songs from their set. Maybe they called it "Special Performance" so people wouldn't think "oh, now I'm gonna watch the complete GN'R set".

    There's something strange the start time of the stream from your link is 10:40AM  and on their youtube channel is 12:40AM

  4. @mend How many times did you attend Slash shows in the last years? When he is on stage he is really concentrated almost 100% of the time. I really like watching him play live. He's not running around like crazy anymore.

  5. @Bono I'm a fan of the band since 1991, so your presumption about this is not correct and surprisingly after all these years and all the things you are explaining in your post (some of them are true some of them not that much from my point of view - a matter of personal perception of course) I still have a huge respect for these guys, what they did, what they currently do and plan to do in the feature and i will fully support them with what i can. A lot of things changed, people changed, i've changed a lot, the guys changed a lot also during these years... the things are not static they move on and no one is perfect but at last we are all trying to do our best. You are right i don't really post that much and i will not post a lot in the feature too but this doesn't mean that i'm not aware or i don't care what's going on. Regarding the number of posts... this is not a competition!

  6. Opinion from an "80s kid"!

    I'm reading the forums from time to time and my impression is that most of you guys are constantly over analyzing everything and this is meaningless. like this topic for example. I think it's great that GN'R are back and the boys will play together again. I will enjoy every bit of the coming bad-ass rock n' roll shows because after 20+ years they are still in my heart, their music is build in my veins and they still rock!
