DK6

Richards November rain solos were appalling!

No feel at all. 

Just terrible. 

If SOG is The General I'm going to be pretty shattered!

It would have been a classic gnr song if we had any luck. 

Greatest gnr song not written by gnr.

The General

You sir are a comedic genius.

I salute you.

I chose Izzy - just on the off chance they might right some cool songs together off stage....

With the introduction of down on the farm they have successfully increased the number of songs sung with an english accent by 100%

Bravo!

I kind of started liking Don't Damn Me again recently. The opening riff is so mean. Plus, I think it would be certainly one of the easier songs in the catalog for Axl to sing now.

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.

Robin would be the guy though. For me Richard doesn't quite nail the CD solos (for me), he plays the notes but I don't get the same feeling from his playing of them. I think his shining live solo was in November rain, that really suited his style, but it would be insane for him to play that lead with Slash 10ft away😄

I honestly thought Richards playing of the November rain solo was appalling. No feel at all to me.

Not much, all they said was "Tell DK6 we don't like him and we can't top our best most beloved work, only an idiot would think otherwise". Bet you wish you didn't ask now😬

Really!?!

But I thought we always had fun together.....

Next time I see Axl I'm going to punch him in the back of the head!

Ah these guys aren't thinking about topping AFD or UYI, or even CD. There's just no way to top the 80s/90s material at this point in time. The delay is not because they are worried they can't top those records. They know, no matter how good a record is, it will never be appreciated the same way that those records are.

I'm glad you've been keeping in contact with them!!

Anything else they've been telling you about?

It's fine, it wouldn't have been out of place on Tenderness. I wish Axl would do some vocals and Slash would record some solos on Duff songs though, they could release a good acoustic EP if they actually tried...

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.

Woops

Here’s a refresher for you, and everyone else, with all ‘opinion and conjecture’ removed. 
 

Jay Kogen, man who created Duff - https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0463124/

firsthand confirmation from Jay -

further confirmation from showrunner at the time Mike Reiss 

https://time.com/5310066/duff-beer-origin/?amp=true

 

until you provide a similarly conclusive quote from Alan Niven, Doug Goldstein, Duff’s PA at the time, or somebody who worked in Geffen, you have nothing to back up your hypothesising. 

if you blatantly ignore the above due to some parasocial allegiance to Duff, I am compelled to question your basic comprehension skills. 

 

I just wish there was some solid evidence one way or the other.

I guess we'll never really know for sure.

I do know, though. We all do. 

 

Do we though.......???

In the end I guess we'll just never know will we @Billy Cundy.

Chalk it up as another one of life's great mysteries.....

Little know fact - the slang term for pregnancy - "up the duff" is also named after Duff.

Otto's definitely got to be slash though!

Man... Axl on those instrumentals would have been amazing. I think Scott is great and he does kick ass on the album, but those are still some of Slash's best instrumental offerings since GNR. Also, imagine Axl at Rock AM Ring 2006 level with at least Slash/Duff/Sorum in GNR. It would have been a big deal.

2006 would have been amazing!

I like Scott's work on it too. Just would love to have heard Axl's take on it.

It's definitely the most GnR sounding music that has been made outside of GnR.

Has sort of a mean, hard edge to it that is missing in all of Slash's other work.

In my opinion anyway.

I had always hoped that Slash had secretly tucked some heavier riffs away for a potential GnR reunion album - that was when I was young and naive though!

On another note does anyone know what happened to the music made during VR years  with Izzy (pre singer) that Slash said in his autopbiography would have been the best GnR record ever?

I would have been happy with that, then CD3 in 2012.

My ideal alt reality would be CD1 in 1999, CD2 in 2004 with Buckethead, CD3 with Bumblefoot and DJ Ashba sometime after, then an actual new album with NITL.

I wish the reunion happened in 2004 and contraband was a gnr album.

Has anyone tried typing "3 second gnr song" into spotify.

I've heard that sometimes it shows up before the song is actually out!

I don't think it sounds like STP in places. It sounds like a STP song 100%  

He's even dancing like Scott Weiland!!
