He probably knows these ones are off-limits for current GN'R so he's using SMKC as an outlet for them. In the past he's played GN'R songs with that band because it was his only band, now he doesn't need to do that

Philadelphia 2016 is probably the best one out there. Not soundboard, but very good. His final show, too. (And no, I don't have a link unfortunately. It's been years since I downloaded it)

Didn't know where to post this, but I figured here would work. Michael Jackson's drummer, Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett's take on Welcome to The Jungle

Exactly. I said this in another thread a while back. Stadium shows are just more cost-effective these days. It's obvious when bands like Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, The Who, and more are playing to half (or more) empty stadiums when they could easily sell out arenas. The cost to rent the places are probably closer, so those extra couple of thousand seats filled must be worth it, even if you're way off selling out. GN'R will be playing stadiums (somewhere at least) for the rest of their existence

So an AFD reunion would be Axl, Slash, and Duff, plus Dizzy and two other guys who weren't on AFD? In other words, basically what we have now 😂 Matt, I can understand the case for, but Gilby was a hired hand even moreso than Richard. It makes no sense to ditch Richard for him if Izzy's not available

A drummer who's not in the best physical shape and a guitar player who's not done a full live show in years – who's to say instrumentals would even sound good?

Well, given that the question is about an AFD reunion, obviously there's no question...

Sounds like it's already bleached from your brain 😂

Well technically Bucket replaced Robin, who replaced Slash. Robin then came back when Bucket was still in the band as an additional guitarist, so it's not totally wide of the mark

It's Chris Chaney.

Except it sounds nothing like Todd's speaking voice

I'd love it if Steven Tyler was on it. Didn't Slash want him on the last solo album, or he got him but the song was shelved? Something like that?

And yet he still didn't feature on any of the recent releases, so no sure why that matters 🤷‍♂️

That's proof enough. She's in the damn band and is his closest collaborator! 😂

He didn't play on Hard Skool, that was Brain. The only reason Frank hasn't played on any of the new singles is because they just had Slash, Duff, Richard, and Melissa work with completed parts (likely during lockdown) to get the songs over the line. It makes no sense to spend time and money rerecording the drums when Frank's not a prominent member and the existing tracks would suffice – especially since he likely doesn't have the luxury of a home studio to record drums in

Obviously it'd be Brain. He still tours with the band often and probably knows more of the back catalogue too

Tbf it wasn't a Guns N' Roses show, you're not going to find many casuals at an SMKC gig

I'm actually too busy to properly respond and was going to later (real life happens), but forget it. I don't owe you a proper reply

Personal insults. Cool.

Agreed. I love it but wish I could hear the guitars more on the studio track, they're just buried

Maybe don't take things so literally. If we were having this conversation face-to-face, you'd know what I was inferring. People are saying that they want more. What is more? Bigger budget, more 'effort', that, basically. There are multiple comments saying it's "lazy" or there's a lack of "effort", the band is "too lazy to make videos", "known for great videos...not even trying", and there is one saying they could all film something together in "a studio" – the comments of people expecting more are on every single page. As for the views, it's YouTube – are people watching those (talking of other artists, not GN'R), or are they using the videos to listen to the song? Casting to their TV or speakers in their homes? It's a bit of a grey area that nobody can verify. It does happen. You seem awfully angry with me 😂 It's only a music video, I haven't hurt you, I'm not worth you getting so wound up

Yes, and it's got millions of different things on it, nobody's going to go out of their way to watch a music video on YouTube. Look at shorts, the go-to form of online video now – you'll see clips from TV shows, live performances, bespoke stuff, but no music videos. The world doesn't care about them. They were invented for a dead medium. Erm... there's 10 pages of complaints here and stuff all over social media. It's been said. People who want a video generally want more than this. It ain't happening these days. Objectively? No. Opinions are subjective...

It's okay. Nothing amazing, but not as bad as the over-the-top reactions here would suggest (but I expect nothing less these days). I'm more surprised that they bothered with a music video at all. It's 2024. MTV isn't what it once was and people consume media differently – what on earth is the point in a music video? The fact they've made an effort with something they really didn't need to is quite something given what these guys are usually like. And an extension to that point – anyone disappointed it's not a big budget production with the band acting in it, more fool you. Lower your expectations.

Never got the hate that Get in The Ring gets. Of course it's not their best song, but it's nowhere near as terrible as people here make it out to be

What's new? 😂
