    Dj is a bad guitarist. It's as simple as that. He's shit. I don't care that he runs around like a clown on stage. All of his routine stage moves are fucking dumb. Go into the crowd during Nightrain, run through the pyro during November Rain, Hulk Hogan ears before Jungle, etc etc. He's nothing but a terrible guitarist with awful tone, who doesn't have the talent to properly play his predecessors' material.

    Which album would you pay to see GnR play in its entirety

    in 2013

    Posted

    I was listening to a podcast and it mentioned that at Metallica's festival, one night the band played Right The Lightening from start to finish and the second night they played the entire Black album.

    If GnR was coming to your city next month and they were going to play one album from start to finish, which one would you vote for?

    I was at those Metallica shows, and iirc they played the albums from finish to start. Not start to finish.

    I think if he does, Axl wont find any one else to fill in. GNR will be free to do Motley Roses hard rock record Tommy and Del want to do. Dj is basically a Crue guitarist he doesn't need Ron shredding across his riffs. That might be a great record if they make it work. If they stick with the pro tools tapestry of CD. Like Ron and he did some awesome stuff on CD so I don't want him to leave. I'm not sure what I would do if I had a back problem long term. I had one short term and it was just annoying, but it got better. I could sit, like a flight of 8 hours would be agony. I'd have to get up and hear all this cracking, could barley walk. But then it got better. And it's like whoo too, but to have that pain forever. I don;t know, fuck that! surely more medicine or extreme pain killers. I took no pain killers after a while. I did for a bit, but just nurofen plus. Hope Ron gets to do Shackler's more if they tour, like after Jungle.

    Speaking of Motley Roses: I heard an interesting rumour prior to the press release that Motley Crue is going to do a farewell tour because of the advance medical issues with Mick Mars and his progressive disease (Ankylosis Spondelitis) that will eventually make it so he cannot tour : That DJ had been tapped to take his spot in the future: However, it looks like Crue is going to pull a Led Zeppelin thing and end Crue for good following the farewell tour .

    I cannot think of a better guitarist to replace Mars at this stage of the game though and would love it IF it was true.

    If Dj goes to Crue then I expect Robin to come back to GNR.

    Why would you expect that? Robin is currently touring the world with a band that is actually relevant. And once they go on a break, I imagine he'd probably go to Gary Numan instead of GNR.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Robin back in Guns at some point, but I fail to see why you'd expect him to come back if Dj left.

    Robin leaving right before CD is a mistake which is actually understandable.

    You know it, I know it and he knows it.

    No, he finished his work on the album, he saw it through - something he had been involved in the creation of for over a decade. It was finished, so he closed that chapter and moved on. He went on to record a great album and perform on one of the most ambitious and innovative concert tours of all time. No matter how you look at it, it certainly wasn't a mistake.

    NIN are not that relevant but I get your point. Robin is just a touring musician for them as well right?

    Of course they are. There last album was #3 on the Billboard 200 (#1 on the Rock Charts) and got good reviews. Their tour is selling better than GNR's last US tours (based on my experience at multiple shows for both bands). They actually release music on a consistent basis, and aren't considered a joke by the majority of the public.

    Trent is the only actual member of NIN overall. The touring band is almost considered a separate entity. Robin has contributed to some studio releases though.

    Back on topic, I assume someone is going to record this chat tonight on the off chance that he actually says something important? And we'll have live updates, right? It's only 5 hours away.

    Billy Joel vs Elton John

    in MY WORLD

    Posted

    I went to a bar in Sag Harbor, and Billy's entire band were sitting around at a big table. Turned out they were taking a break from rehearsing for Face to Face, because they were discussing Elton John songs to do. There might have been 5 or 6 other people there getting a beer, and it was dead of winter, so the place was just a bunch of locals. Even though there was no piano, just imagine in the middle of a restaurant, a bunch of professional singers breaking into harmony doing "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and basically doing an Elton John medley.

    When they left, a couple of people stopped Billy that sort of knew him, and I kind of shoehorned myself into the conversation, but I'd been talking to them when this was all going on. 10-15 minute interaction, talking about random stuff, some of it to do with music, some of it to do with local Long Island stuff, & boats.

    My impression - pretty cool guy that gave you the time of day and didn't have any kind of rock star arrogance. He was okay with signing stuff, but not thrilled with it, either.

    Awesome story.

    I hope they do the Face to Face tour again. I'd go in a heartbeat.
