I wholeheartedly agree with this.

 

Whether I as a fan like the new incarnation of a band or not is irrelevant. Iron Maiden was still Iron Maiden with or without Paul Dianno, Clive Burr, Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson or Blaze Bayley. Which line-up you as a fan prefer is up to you, but to claim that the band can no longer operate under the same name as before seems like nonsense to me. 

 

I think some of this nonsense comes from the lack of output or touring in the period after Spagetti Incident when Slash, Duff and Sorum left.  What if they had put out an album between each member leaving. After Lies Adler leaves, after YUI Izzy leaves, after Spaggeti incident Slash leaves, after a new album in say 98 Sorum leaves and then in 2000 Duff leaves. At what point would it no longer be Guns N Roses?  Nonsense I say!

Maybe I am mistaken, but I think Duff exited in 97'

If somehow this song along with DC were in AFD replacing TAY or AG, AFD would've been flawless.

I really love Think About You and Anything Goes just fits the whole sex,drugs and rockn'roll style of AFD  perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing from AFD

I only have the original artwork AFD, which I bought in summer for 36 euros.My last money returning from vacation and I had to spend like a day with 70 cents in Athens waiting  for the Night Train (pun intended:) ).During my whole 6 hour trip to Thessaloniki I had the Vinyl in my arms so something bad wouldn't happen to it. I'm so glad it made it alive and well.I'll post pictures when I get home 

PS : I don't even have a turntable 

For what is worth Bad Apples is my ringtone

I think it was about Erin's brother in law,an international arms dealer,who was part of Lebanese descent and bragged about how easy was to fool people and sell guns to them or something like this

that's all I remember from the alternative CD booklet 

I've read somewhere that although Think About You seems to be about a woman it is about drugs

No.... She can legitimately play and sing. Ashba was piss poor at best. I know we all could see exactly what Ashba was playing and what Melissa does is less obvious but that doesn't make them equal. Ashbs was and is  a complete tool.

I don't disagree that a stripped down dust n bones tour GNR would be cool. But that's not on the agenda. 

The money that Fortus, Frank and Melissa make has almost no baring on Izzy's inclusion. Those three are making a good salary, Slash, duff and Axl are making millions... big difference. I'd imagine Izzy wanted an equal salary or something close to the main three. 

On the next tour stop Cozy Powell's hologram will bring pizzas onstage

shush, I don't need more reasons to hate him.

There's songs like ISE and Nightrain, where I've no idea what even Dizzy's doing

He is being more useless than usual, 'playing' the bongos

Well yeah. Pittman couldn't sing to save his life. 

But Silkworms was put together by Mr Chris Pittman an Dizzy Reed

I don't mind the piano on the ballads and even some other songs, what bothered about the illusions is the production and mainly Izzy being turned down ft the most part

Absolutely love the cool vintage tees he wears, the Amiri jeans and I love the flannel around his waist! Classic Axl look! I wish that he would ditch the boots and go back to black sneakers tho. Also I wish that he would wear the bandana and backwards cap combo more than one song. My girl gets so twisted up when I constantly show her pics of King Axl and how bad ass he looks!

I love the boots, they bring back some of the 80s glamour

I'd love to see Think About You

Devaluing what brand? He has totally removed himself from the public eye for 25 years. And don't get me wrong- I totally respect that. Izzy gonna do what Izzy gonna do and that's cool. He doesn't even tour his solo stuff, or even keep together an actual backing band. Nothing but stuff he puts out almost as a hobby.

But then for him to suddenly decide he wants to be a rock star again, and that they should cut him in at an equal amount, simply because he wrote or co wrote a lot of the songs, doesn't add up. 

Does he fuckin hate being a rock star or not? I can't blame the other 3 for being confused on that point. 

Well we don't know the whole story, but if Izzy came back and demanded an equal share for equal work  and was denied, then the "Big 3" just became money whores.

Axl wasn't reliable either until now,

Slash and Duff didn't promote the brand,unless you consider puting out solo albums counts. Don't forget that Slash probably blocked the House of Blues release,not a great way of helping promote the brand is it ?

The three that remained in the partnership didn't do shit to promote the brand,Axl touring with the Guns monicker probably counts, but how much attention did the band get during this time with the Chinese Democracy drama?

Steven had a serious problem for years with his addiction,but if Axl could make ammends with slash and be on the stage with him and in time , I am betting my money Steven can change too. I don't think he lacks the skills for the whole show. I mean that's the job of a drummer to play drums. Frank isn't the best in the world, but if he can do it so does Steven.

Now if Izzy just wanted to come for like 2 shows or a couple of songs every night and demand equal pay - which sounds really naive- then the "Big 3" were right to deny him that

I hope we see the AFD 5 this year - I don't mind Dizzy, besides the keyboards are needed for UYI and CD songs, if they play some) 

My two cents

Didn't Fortus fart on Better or something?

LeL

Yeah Fortus wrote something like the second-half-of-the-main-verse-riff-kiss-my-ass thing

The thing I like the most in CD is the solos by Buckethead and Robin.The 2002 line-up was interesting but by failing to deliver an album, wasting all this time they lost all their credit 

Right Next Door To Hell

The Garden 

Locomotive

Pretty Tied Up

You Ain't The First 

Breakdown 

14 Years 

Move To The City

Dust N Bones

Perfect Crime

Out Ta Get Me

Anything Goes

Human Being

Dead Horse 

Don't Damn Me

Encore:

Bad Apples

Used To Love Her

Reckless Life

Think About You

What's the argue with song length.

New York Dolls released Too Much Too Soon an LP that had about 10 songs and clocked a little longer than 30 minutes. So that by what others said since UYI were 76 minutes long ,that makes UYI counting 2 New York Dolls albums ?

Or the NYD album should be considered an EP by GnR standards ?

Nice logic

Does the pinball song count ?

Breakdown and Bad Apples 

But I'd like Izzy to be back in the fold for 14 Years. Just imagine out of nowhere hearing the drum intro and then Izzy singing.

One can only dream...

but how come when slash wears leather leggings we get a thread devoted to it but when Melissa reese wears them people have a discrete look then pop to the toilets ?

Well, all things GnR, original members have different treatment than others

They are 'chaps' not leggings, girls wear leggings and Slash wears chaps.

Thank you                         Chaps is the magic word I was looking for (English not being my native)

just bog standard jeans with leather leggings over the top isn't it ?

Well techinically yeah, but the leather leggings seem to be made for that purpose and not some leather pants just cut and put on top of the jeans

Hey every one,I don't know if this is the right place to post it, but where can i find those jeans that have these leather straps that slash is wearing?

I think it was once performed in 87'

Steven is recently on record as saying he wouldn't want to play any UYI tracks on a reunion tour other than Civil War.

And Axl said that he wouldn't share the stage with Slash until someone died...The Not in this lifetime Tour is about doing things that you said you wouldn't do, after all.

Did Axl feel more abandoned when Slash left or when Izzy left? It's an interesting question.

Maybe after loosing Izzy, Slash leaving was like loosing his family.
