I have never understood why Motley Crue are classed as a similar band to GnR. Ok they are both Sunset bands, had a glam look at one point, and if I try to listen to say WTTJ ‘objectively’ I can see how someone who wasn’t into rock music wouldn’t hear any difference between that and Motley stuff. But aside from a few ok riffs, to me Motley represented everything that is cringey about rock music, can’t take them seriously at all. GnR are totally different if only for the diversity of songwriting, and even their ‘glam era’ music was in a totally different league to Motley.

Cowboys Stadium 1988: GnR’s “worst gig”
Nice Boy replied to Nice Boy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Oh shit yeah! It’s surprising that they decided to go ahead and play without Axl, because there must have been similar occasions of his absence before this, and certainly there were after - so I wonder why did they choose to play without him this time? Also which gig / set list was this, presumably that gnrontour site lists it? -

Cowboys Stadium 1988: GnR’s “worst gig”
Nice Boy replied to Nice Boy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Please do! - It would be interesting to hear this, it can’t be worse than Bridge School or whatever, lol… I bet it’s actually just very ‘raw’ Rock n fn Roll.. -

Sorry yes, for some reason I typoed 89, every true Gunner knows there were fuck all GnR gigs in 89 apart from those you mentioned.. Jeez I wasn’t even high when I made the post, fuck knows why I made that schoolboy error, lol -
Cowboys Stadium 1988: GnR’s “worst gig”
Nice Boy posted a topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Slash has said that Cowboys Stadium 1988 was (original) GnR’s worst concert, but he doesn’t really specify why. I’ve never seen any footage or heard any audio, so always wondered what was so bad and why. I’m guessing there were probably technical issues with the PA that caused a fuck up, and maybe some other logistical problems.. anyone know anything about this? Here’s the original quote: Metro: What’s the worst gig you’ve done? Slash: "Guns n’ Roses playing Cowboys Stadium in Dallas in 1988. It was horrific. Everything that could go wrong went wrong and the band didn’t have enough experience to handle it properly. It was a huge disaster in front of 65,000 people. We fell apart on stage. It’s stuck with me ever since.” -
2 or 3 guitars? (Fortus related)
Nice Boy replied to JAxlMorrison's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I don’t see why Fortus is regarded as someone who could only fill a rhythm role and not traditional lead. Listening to him duel with Slash, you can hear he matches Slash’s ability pretty easily. It’s just that Slash has that extra presence due to his legacy. Put it this way, Fortus is much more capable of lead soloing than Izzy, great as they both were. The main thing that gives Fortus the image of being a rhythm rather than lead is not lack of ability, it’s that he is a dude with straight black hair often playing a white hollow bodied guitar and standing to Axl’s right on stage, playing the rhythm part. -
why not, Rogan was endorsing Bernie Sanders, so they both ‘lean Democrat’

The 'you're crazy' style of gnr songs
Nice Boy replied to axl666's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
It’s more about the early 80s LA music scene being influenced by the fast paced hardcore/punk sound of the time, they were listening to a lot of punk stuff and cranking the tempo / energy, with some metal infusion, hence songs like Reckless, Shadow, Nice Boys etc. fast Crazy obviously had a slightly different emergence as it began as them jamming around The Seeker by The Who, then creating their own song from that on acoustic (slow Crazy) then turbo-ing it into fast Crazy because of aforementioned punk / metal influences. -
Slither in the setlist
Nice Boy replied to StrangerInThisTown's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Because it’s a good song, popular with crowd, and Axl’s reciprocating for the others learning CD stuff I like VR stuff, more than CD really, though the bulk of it is a bit generic. You listen through an album and it can kinda blur into one standard rock song. There is variation though, Fall to Pieces etc. -
