Why won't they just give the people what they want - Richard Fortus playing gnr solos!
Thats what people go to gnr concerts for.
I'd honestly rather hear Slash play the solos on bagpipes than hear Fortus do them.
They've literally never played it because it is basically impossible to sing live unless you don't require oxygen!
Current Axl would almost certainly die.
I've been thinking thsi for ages.
It must be a very daunting thought to live up to A4D and UYI style albums.
A small acoustic EP would be a great way to release some music with a little bit of pressure off.
