Came across a live recording of Gilby Clarke performing Knocking on Heavens Door live, tho not outstanding the energy seemed far beyond what we get from GnR the crowd are bouncing at the end ! It just seems more energetic.

Live performances now seem to sap all the energy out of them, anyone get what I'm getting at?

Yes I think Knockn On Heavans Door has been done to death by GNR that the crowd just go through the motions. Nothing will top the 90's performances. Maybe it's time to drop it or just play it alternative shows. 

I'd prefer Dead Horse any day. The crowd can sing along to the intro/outro

Straw Man Argument? That's an unusual phrase. I've never heard that before. Where did you pick that up from?

Better mixing than the official upload!

It's quite amazing what mobile phones can do these days

do you all think these three would or possibly could dare to put Silkworms on the next album?

I'm not a fan of that song. I would hope they can do better than that on the 'new album'

Btw: also Happy Birthday to Meegan Hodges "Queen of Concert Live Streams" (ok, sometimes they're a bit anoying, but hey, at least she also uploads live material)

Sometimes you can even make out which song Meegan in streaming!

So, I just watched the last DTJ from RIO and that was a much better video than this one.. High quality, could feel the vibe of the crowd and was a better overall performance on general.. Hopefully they can capture some of that in future videos..

I'd always expect a South American crowd to have more vibe than Salt Lake City. 

RIO has much better camera work. The one on SLC was poor. Too many shots from Row Z.

Slash even sporting abit of grey in the fringe of his hair. I think he should just go the brian may and kirk hammett look and go completely grey.

Yes I noticed that. I couldn't imagine Slash as a Silver Fox

Postponed relases because of the covid-19:

Bon Jovi

Bush

Biffy Clyro

Lady Gaga

Deep Purple

Smashing Pumpkins

Are these all officially announced to be released rather than 'I believe' to be released. 

Wow this will be the 15th studio album release by Bon Jovi. Their first album was only 3 years before Appetite.

I think the guy gets a hard time. It's Axl Rose who is responsible for GNR and it's ridiculous lack of new music over the last 30 years. Fans should direct their frustrations at the organ grinder, not the monkey. 

That's true. Not sure where fans can direct their frustration. To a Twitter account that he logs in to 5 times a year?

It just seems like a never ending circle with this band. Fernando did this chat 11 days ago, and not once did anyone say in that chat “give us more cool merch.” It was all asking for more interaction and MUSIC in any capacity weather it be old or new.

6 days after this, they give us a Pandemic related piece of merch and then radio silence for 5 days straight. 
 

Did anyone really learn anything? Does anyone really care anymore?

I guess we take away that we'll be in the same situation as this next year talking about the same thing. But we already knew this

Obviously Fernando is not very well liked here!   I am not too sure what being so negative will accomplish and as a new person here it has made me feel rather sorry for him.   I find it so disrespectful that somebody recorded this chat when he asked them not too, I would say it was non too honerable.

 

But who am I to comment as you have all been here a long while.

I thought he came across as a genuine good bloke. But way out of his depth as manager of a huge Rock N Roll band. He's clueless.

One single track a week is all they're planning to do. What a waste.

It's been zero songs a week so far. 

He said they're coming Sooner than Soon. Imagine if he said 'later than late'. How long would that be in Fernando World? 50 years? 

Great interview Brando. 

The new music style sounds promising. We just need to hear the fucker. 

Brain and Frank together would make a sweet future podcast

Gee you’re being a bit generous there mate, thinking they’d say “next week”! Id expect them to say soon if anything 😉

I have faith that Team Brazil can deliver 90 seconds of footage over a 2 week period. Call me a Dreamer

I was under impression we are all experienced enough not to expect full shows. But not to expect even full SONGS... Well, it speaks volumes. This is where we are now. Looking forward to the clips.

That would be crazy if week 1 we got a 30 second clip of Sweet Child. 

'Enjoy Fam, we hope to have 45 seconds next week! We're working on it'

Some questions for Frank I'd be interested in:

- How was it like recently playing the deep cuts from UYI like Locomotive and Dead Horse in concert? Did the band have to practise a lot for these?

- How about new material? When can the fans expect a new song? Will you guys be testing the waters in concert first or will you just surpise everyone with a single or even a new album out of the blue?

- What's your favourite GNR song in general what's your fav GNR song to perform live?

- What's the hardest GNR song to play for you?

- You've been working with GNR in various lineups since 2006, for you as the drummer what's the biggest difference between the current lineup and the middle to late CD era of the 2010's?

- The songs are played faster in concert than before - who decided that or was it a mere neccesity because of the production (lights/videos/pyros and all)?

 

Good questions

Seems to get used a lot, but only by certain people. It's like a treasure hunt! 

He likes to use that a lot. 

I'm still waiting for 'shoot me a PM happy to help' 

If it's 1 song a week can you imagine 

Week 1 - Heavans Door

Week 2 - Wichita Lineman

Week 3 - Attitude 

Week 4 - Godfather Theme

Week 5 - Forget it Fernando

A Frank interview will be about as exciting as watching paint dry. He might be the nicest guy in the world but nobody cares about him outside of GNR and obviously even if he knew plans he wouldn't say them. If he were to be asked about Matt saying that Duff said he didn't like playing with him (or whatever the exact quote from Matt's book was) that could be interesting but I don't think Brando is Howard Stern and to ever have him back on they have to be softball questions.

Most people who listen to Distortion are fans of GNR so should be of interest. 

Fernando doesn't even know what the plan is so I doubt Frank does. Fernando has taken to ask 10 people on Reddit what to do.

I was wondering how few digital copies you have to sell to enter the iTunes top ten rock chart! Can't be many these days. 

 

 

You should bang out a tune yourself. See how it does
