  1. Obviously Slash won't be in the audience but the fact that he can't go see the band that he helped make famous is kind of goofy. Maybe one day he can go in with a disguise and sit in the cheap seats and watch Ashba butcher his classic riffs.

    Or maybe he'll fangirl over him and say he's better than the old one

  2. Matt spoke to Axl in 2006 so I don't imagine there's any bad blood between them anymore. Plus its not like it would be a treat to have Matt play live with GNR today.

    Yeah it's doubtful they have any bad blood. Treat- it'd be kinda cool...another glimpse of old Guns....(back when they were so damn good)

    Actually, I think having Matt as a guest would be cool. That way someone can finally play the drum intro of YCBM correctly.

  3. Like have you ever had a particular moment in a concert where you said to yourself "This is how GNR should be" or a "Holy shit that looked cool". Any band member in particular.

    For me it was Rock am Ring 2006 where he comes in perfectly timed with that long scream in jungle and his voice throughout sounded like Axl, but how he should sound at 45 years old: like a mature Axl.

    Another moment for me was in the recent La Paz gig.

    starting at 0:53 onwards

    Duff just exuded rockstar with his shades & jacket wearing all black with his stage presence, BBF & 4tus were just jamming enthusiastically, and Axl just comes out dancing nonchalantly with the mic stand and belts out the opening line. Then it all goes to shit until after the solo.

    What about you guys?

    GNR from 01-present is what I meant as in current.

  4. I hate how the beggining of 'better' always sounds. From the second dj starts through the complete intro it just sounds like shit. Really, it never gets much better after that now that I think about it...

    I've never heard a live version of Better where the intro didn't sound like shit. That's a shame...

    The live guitar intro is always harsh on the ears a bit for me. The thing that ruins it for me is axl. In 06 he sang it with aa different voice (head voice maybe?). Now he sings it with his airy, breath-heavy falsetto thing
