...Dave Koushner...what a badass guitar player!! It is one of the biggest unjusticies that guy got to shne on the music scene for like 4 years.  Seriously a badass guitarist.  Much worse guitarists out there are labeled as 'legends' and 'icons'.

After 7 shows, my biggest takeaway from the NITL tour was how great a band Velvet Revolver was.

When VR was came around, my first thought was 'how bad of a fit Scott was live to Slash/Matt/Duff combo'.

Now with ridiculous singing Axl, who can barely move on stage, Scott looks like totally different universe energetically compared to Ax 2020.

Slash/Duff/Matt was GNR, Dave MUCH better fit to Slash than Rich (although he is not Gilby/Iz) and Sctt was talented cool frontman, despite the demons he fought with.

Although, frankly, VR was neither GNR nor STP. First 3 STP albums were much more Scott than VR was.  It was like 2 different styles combining to create a third.

When it comes down to Slash, his ideal style for me was UYI/Snakepit sound.

Exactly. It's not even about how good or bad the songs are, it's about the hype. The first album from a reunited Axl and Slash will be huge news, that they can easily promote. Get a single on the radio and they're pretty much set... popularity will sell a lot more tickets than nostalgia.

unfortunately, it will tak A LOT more than just Slash and Axl to record a UYI standard album. This line up doesn't have it.

I woul have preffered more if they played part of Kansas version...Kinda like they did with Imagine

Can anyone explain to me why Guns aren't as big as Stones in US? It's your band for fuck's sake.

Maaaaaybeee, just maybe they keep their members until they leave on their own terms or unless mutal break up is inevitable, where GNR have the best line up possible and become a revolving door for 30 years.

Also, Stones have the best fitting members possible, where anyone can play in Gunners as long as they don't cost much.

As you see, I didn't even go into Axl's and Mick's vocal abilities or Not in this lifetime ending setlist...

That is the short summary

Why don't they release anything from the past on DVD? 

Ok, not a simple answer:

William Bruce Bailey
Saul Hudson
Duff 'Rose' McKagan
+ F'nando & da crew

cause only then even Ax would have to admit publicly that only Slash is on the heights or better with the 85-93 line ups

There again... You have no idea how to carry on a discussion with making poor attempts at insults instead of engaging in an actual discussion. 

I said it in the previous post and there is no need to repeat myself. As for trolling, scroll back and rethink who is trolling who (not only on this topic.  90% of my post have your reaction. so much for trolling). Guess delussion is the word.

I wish you had any idea what you're talking about. That would be a great starting point for discussion. Then again, you're not interested in a discussion. You're just interested in attempting to troll me, failing, then resulting to insults. But carry on, I guess? 

you really like to give yourself importance, don't you?

This is what it looks like when you are having a stroke but really need to insult GNR's drummer online so you power through it

Axl, you were never a good comedian, but I hope you feel better now defending your puppy...

Ah, OK... It was just your usual gibberish about how you don't like Frank. Got it. 

Commercials are how music is sold now. GNR almost did it with Chinese and the Harley Davidson ad, but it got switched to Paradise City for some reason. 

My biggest hope about anything happening soon is that the next show is involved with the Super Bowl hype. I'm clutching at straws but I'm hoping that means they've got some sort of deal with the NFL for promotion of new music. 

  again...it is the basics...pretty selfexplanetory causing the problems

Ok Frank the click, what are you buthurt now about!? 

you didn't get the basic, I explained it and now you feel bad for not understanding the basics?   its ok, if you didn't learn preautomated drum parts for 15 years, on eversame setlist, I didn't expect you will get / understand what said in that upper post, still, no reason to be offensive.

as long as you hear the clicks...

When the only detail of criticism is “sounds like shit”...

glad you figured

LOL, are you suggesting that because Frank plays to a click that he's not a good drummer? 

And yeah, I wouldn't put him in the same sentence with Matt and Adler seeing as Frank is a far superior drummer to both

I thought it was pretty selfexplanetory...but I will explain it further.  Frank is so shit, imagine what he would sound like w/o click track.

ie. Unlike Sorum/Adler, it is all automated and planned out and Frank still manages to sound like one of the worst drummers the world has ever heard off playing in a half serious band.

Good now?

Frank, there had been stranger things said before, though, posters now do know who is hiding behind the nick.

He plays to click track due to the on screen projections/light show. It’s all automated and planned out. Unlike the UYI era 

imagine what Frank the man would sound like w/o click track.

...and then there are actually a few that put him in the same sentance with Matt/Adler...

given the line up and Ax's vocal abbilities - I would rather remember them with UYI's and TSI as their last effort.

Life wasted, suicide at the peak of their lifetime and 30 years of their fans life wasted, but what can you do.

Poor Slash is running out of words for saying - the new album is an illusion and there is really nothing going on in that department.

For...Can't really remember him having issues on how to release new music with SMKC

Funny how all those bands kick out their drummers, yet, Frank we all want out stands there fixer than the Empire State building, although everyone knows he is more shit than any other drummer any A league band kicked out like last 30 years

Todd told me there might be SMKC in 2021, depending on GnR and Myles. I certainly hope so.

Matt has aged really well also. He's in his mid 60s but looks like he's 20 years younger.

Matt is Nov 1960 what I recall, so still 59

But yet Frank was on SOYL....

was he?

any album released under GNR moniker with Slash on it WON'T have Frank on it.  Take my word for that. 

will Fortus remain the sole post UYI era memeber left behind, I doubt but we will see.

Fact, as long as they tour with Frank - they are nowhere near finished or near the studio.

Funny how all these years Ax thinks of himself as this 'cool' rock star, who is untouchable and doesn't want to deal with the rest of the world, hence even give interviews...

yet, every news that comes out about GNR is kind of news that 90% of the 5 year olds wouldn't do or make them look adolescent compared to Ax/band/TB...who not.

on the side note...If CD is THE most productive Ax came up with '95-2008,  I couldn't care f...ing less about leaks/no leaks or any other material he came up with in that period.

That is like being a Pumpkins fan and wanting to hear unreleased Zwan stuff.

I made it through listening to that cd TWICE,  don't need anything else from that era that wasn't good enough to make it onto that cd.

bring the on the band that has the b..ls to be the best in the world - as it once was.

Ax/Slash/Duff/Sorum/Iz (Gilby)/Dizwald

That band has power and edge. It will not have to hang on to 10 covers a night because it will have the power and knowhow to play every song off GNR catalogue better than any Frank/Fortus/Mel whoever.

It will be the band that will have potential to let Slash explode even more and let Duff and Axl have less pressure and more confidance than they do now.  It would be the band of cameradie and charisma, bottom line - it would finally be the band with no limits, band called Guns N Roses.  No alibi, no excuse.  Do or die.  The band that has it and doesn't care.  Band that turns to gold everything it touches because they KNOW.

Saddly,  Steve just can't put up. Too destroyed mentally for any long term plans.  No guest spots, no circus.  Just BAND.

Well, they did have loaded Duff for years and it worked out pretty well.😊

they did, but all GNR albums that had Loaded Duff had Ax/Slash/Iz/Steve/Matt too and we had what we had.

On the other hand, Loaded had only Duff and it was what it was...

Who is to say that they won't pull off a good to great album? You and no one else has the answer to that. At least it'll have the GNR sound. CD didn't have that. 

For me, I  see it as unfinished business for Axl, Slash, and Duff. I don't think they want TSI to be known as their last album. No matter what I'm looking forward to it when it's released. 

'the experience makes me wise'.

and, oh, yes...Marc Canter telling how records were made, here on this forum

did it occur to you who played on UYI II and the only record with GNR moniker post UYI?

Sure they have unfinished business, but the puzzle ain't completed yet.   ...or why do you think the only post (half)reunion song they released was again - the one with old line up?    maybe, just maaaaybe they don't think the material they have has the brilliance of 85-94 stuff!?

Slash (minus Myles) can be brilliant, but he needs more than Loaded Duff and chinese Axl to bring the band to GNR level.
