So did we ever come to a conclusion about those sticks? Why they were ahead if obviously it was going to be Frank at this show?

That's the mystery. I think no one from the three supposed drummers is using Ahead now...

Like so many, for nostalgia purposes, I truly wish Izzy was back also. I love Izzy's vibe, the cool Stonesy, blues, feel to his playing, and he is just the epitome of cool! But one thing that is very apparent, is that most fans aren't musicians themselves, and don't understand different talents of guitar players. I myself have played for over 30 years and appreciate many different styles of guitar players. Which brings me to Fortus, he is an absolute killer guitar player, and unfortunately the nostalgia blinds people from that fact. He is hands down the 2nd best guitar player that has ever been in GNR next to Slash! He is a master of many many styles of playing, where as Buckethead, Finck, and Bumblefoot were one trick shred ponies and played with no dynamics. It's no secret Slash wanted Fortus in his own band at one point. So as much as we all love Izzy and the classic 5, just strictly from a playing standpoint, Fortus is a better guitar player than Izzy and the potential is endless for the Slash/Fortus combo! The thing that will always be sorely missed and irreplacable with Izzy is his songwriting skills. Just my .02 cents...

Agree with everything you said, except Bucket is definitely not a one trick pony. He was probably the most diverse and talented guitarist this band has ever seen, and I'm saying that as a huge Slash/Fortus fan.

I would really like to think Fortus and Ferrer are involved because this is an actual regrouping and new material will happen after this tour.

Crossing my fingers for this, that would be absolute heaven!

As for Richard's songwriting skill, that one's tricky. He certainly is no Izzy, but we haven't seen much of it at all. He wrote the little verse part in Better and a handful of songs with his other bands, but that's about it.

By the way, Axl would look interesting this way

I disagree. She's terrible. Frank wasn't on the same page with slash completely but that one I have more faith it

Aside from that little intro fuckup, I think it sounds surprisingly good. Frank has a really heavy hitting style, not as groovy as Adler and not as precise as Sorum, but it goes very well with Slash's guitar sound in my opinion.

Melissa did the backing vocals in that Jungle clip, sounded pretty good. 

Also, Frank sounds fuckin' great with Slash's guitar

anyone know what the trump joke axl mentioned?

"I'm like Trump, I consult with myself,"

I believe he was refering to picking a setlist, I'm not sure tho.

Come on CSI:GNR we must be able to read something in to this. 

That was backstage at yesterday's gig.

I wanna know if there was any banter or even "rants" between any songs. Or was it just straight down to business?

The guy Periscoping after the gig said there were no rants or anything. Axl made a few jokes and mentioned Trump however

The more people hate on Melissa for being a woman, keyboard player, young, AND in Guns N' Fuckin' Roses, the more I love her.

+1

Been a long day and I'm out of likes, but here you go.

So the first thing that Slash posts after playing with Axl and GNR again is this  

He obviously communicates his inner feelings through GIFs  

The single worst nightmare of a GNR fan, there's a second (!) keyboard player and it's a WOMAN! A WOMAN! My god, this band is ruined!

/s

Seriously stop the "official member" and "two keyboards" crap. Just enough.

They have also been at work on other fronts – having produced several remixes and original tracks for the new upcoming album of multi-platinum selling girl-group TLC and Guns n’ Roses (from Chinese Democracy).

Apparantly she worked with Brain on the Chinese remixes.

So... besides Melissa, was Dizzy on stage?

Yes

Of course he didn't, but compared to a teenage girl who works on Disney videos? Pitman wins.

Not trying to be pessimistic. Tonight was great and I'm happy to see GN'R BACK

 

Axl wore a Mickey tshirt. So?

Some people gonna bitch anyway

Melissa is hot! I bet that Slash wanted a chick behind him on stage instead of Pitman
