Looks promising. I don’t actually follow Guns N’ Roses on social media or anything, I just couldn’t be f*cked and lets face it there’s nothing to follow. But I just noticed the above Instagram (?) post of theirs and it suggests 4.7m followers. Now ‘m’ either stands for million or mediocre (jokes) but if it is 4.7 million then that is pretty impressive. How does that compare to more popular contemporary artists  and bands? Seems decent popularity. Maybe they should release new music and capitalise on that :-)

Gnr is pretty popular despite their lack of music and various mess ups. It still amazes me that they have two 1 biliion viewed song while Michael Jackson has none. Contemporary pop artist lady gaga has only one. 

Stephen colbert mentions this at 7 min mark 

Lol all the top news media outlets are covering this, definitely not just a silly matter.

Oh absolutely. These leeches are reading this thread and laughing their asses off. Fernando and Beta have proven time and again what scum they are. And going by Vanessa's treatment of Axl in that video where he couldn't find his car, I'm guessing she's no exception.

Which video?

Was thinking about it the other day - if I had to pick my favorite moment or contribution from each member of GNR's entire lineup, what would that list look like?  So here you go:

 

AXL - the following from Don't Damn Me.  Love the lyrics, love the voice Axl uses, love the melody, love the vocal effects - this part of the song is just great.

I know you don't want to hear me crying
An I know you don't want to hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours an not mine
We take for granted that we know the whole story
We judge a book by it's cover and read what we want
Between selected lines

SLASH - solo in It's So Easy.  A short but BADASS solo that matches the energy and attitude of the whole song.  Love it.

IZZY - Patience

DUFF - intro to SCOM

STEVEN - Mr. Brownstone

MATT - Locomotive - might be some of my favorite drumming in the whole GNR catalog.  Love the story about Matt using a little jazz kit on this song, too.  

DIZZY - Estranged piano solo...I guess

GILBY - his live performances...I guess

TOMMY - his fills on the second half of TWAT

ROBIN - Better

JOSH - his drumming during the TWAT solo

BUCKETHEAD - TWAT solo

CHRIS - Madagascar synth

BRAIN - his drumming on Shackler's

FRANK - his badass fill at the end of the Bucket solo in IRS

BUMBLEFOOT - his outro in CITR

DJ - his live performances...I guess

FORTUS - his contribution to the riff in the Better chorus

MELISSA - her live performances...I guess. (Her backing vocals on Madagascar)

 

Feel free to share yours.

 

so happy that you mention Don't damn me. One of my most favourites. Everything in this is perfect.

He said Slash was the snake, but still joined with him im VR. He badmouthed Axl all the time and still wanted to be a part of GNR engine. I don't get this guy, honestly. Is he a hypocrite?  Is he honest? Damn right.

Unbelivable... like no words... did they just do somthing for fans.. like for free??

My reaction exactly

How can I listen to it? Didn't hear about this channel before. And how was the concert? Did anybody remember?

whoa this thread is getting hot suddenly! But why?

I love his whole lotta rosie 1986 version, so powerful. 

To think that we have listened to so many versions of this song 😂

1. Original Bon version

2. Live Bon version.

3. Live Brian version

4. Axl's 1986 version

5. Axl's 2010 raspy version

6. Axl/DC version

Is there anything else?

Out of boredom, I decided to try to count the number of songs this band has officially released:

AFD=12, Lies=7, UYI=29, TSI=13, Live Era=1, End of Days=1, GH=1, ChiDem=14, AFDem=4 (Motivation, Another Brick in the Wall, Objectify, and The Seeker), and Locked N Loaded=7 (SOYL, Rosie, Heartbreak Hotel, Jumpin Jack, The Plague, New World Tune, and Aint Goin Down).

So 89 songs (26 of which are covers).

Compare that to RHCP (which officially formed just a couple of years earlier), who have around 230 officially-released songs (give or take a few).

This is why a new album would be nice. But if it doesn’t happen, then so be it.

This is frustrating bcz Axl has one of the largest vocal ranges ever and didn't even release 100 songs.

No one wants the fans to start comparing Chicago 92 Axl with Berlin 2018 Axl, that's why...

We still have the 92 footages though, just in bad shape. And people complains and compares all the time. So why bother 😐

i dont think he would call all his own crew dirty although its possible also provided the coronavirus im guessing he labelled them as being dirty cause in shipping crew relies on local logistics 

That is just a random statement. He swears all the time. When he said 'calm down, motherfuckers' does he really meant that we're motherfuckers? No. He meant 'calm down people', just in an aggresive way. Similar is the case is this. He didn't call the Mexican crews 'dirty' literally. And you bring the topic of coronavirus, that's just ridiculous. Also, I'm not white and faced racism, so I think I understand when anyone is being racist or not.

The ultimate twist would be not to play any of the soundchecked songs. Nope, I am not going back on the hype train.

Hehe Nolan level twist except so fine. Atleast they get rid of the new covers.

I already love what Slash has added to the guitar riff. 

It sounds much more like a GN’R song now (guitar wise) than the original demo that leaked.

Exactly, the intro is more gnr-esque now

Not excited about more old (released) songs being played, but I do love Think About You, it's a major hit in an alternate timeline.

Yeah, especially the ending

In no particular order 

Paradise city (esp the outro: masterpiece imo)

Don't damn me (severely underrated, the lyrics, the tune, everything) 

Out ta get me

Estranged 

Scom

November Rain

Back off bitch

There was a time

Coma

Rocket queen

Honorable: Nighttrain, Civil war, WTTJ, Street of dreams, Chinese democracy (early version)

Fuck it, who has some recommendations for other bands in the meantime? I'm listening to Nick Cave right now.

I like The band perry, cool country tune.

I’ve always maintained that some of Axls best vocals ever are on TSI. Human Being is a perfect example.... if only they’d released an album of originals around 94-96. No doubt in my mind it could have outdone AFD

Damn so true! Tsi and sympathy for the devil vocal is beyond amazing. If only they could work with some of the snakepit tunes.

I feel good is amazing. Slash's riff is amazing and Axls vocals are sublime 

Same! He brings some rasp during suger and spice bit and hold a 15 second long note. And Slash made this badass.

Why no love for we will rock you? I think it's good (if not great). All 4 songs on Freddy Mercury concert is awesome imo. But in another concert (wembley 92?) Axl sang 'tie your mother down' and it sounds not so great (maybe cz of some vocal problems)

My worst is 

Come together

Slither

Black hole sun

Jimmy fallon is extravagant but clearly an Axl fan. There's other videos too where his guests are talking about Axl. Unfortunately he could not bring him to his show.
