Marky Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 A Guns N Roses tribute band have said they expect to boycott tracks from the band's forthcoming album 'Chinese Democracy' because they won't compare well with the band's classics. Although not ruling out covers all together UK Guns N' Roses are not hopeful about the much-delayed album, which will eventually be released on November 24. "We're undecided as to whether or not we play any of the new Guns material next year as we feel it probably won't be anywhere near the work by the original, and best line-up (in our humble opinion)," they explained in a mailout. "So we're thinking of naming the New Year tour the 'Stick To Your Guns Tour 09'."http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/41060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushka Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 guess they use this as a excuse for not being able to play the masterpieces on cd .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpantazo Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 translation: we are not going to play any of the new songs because it took us ten years to learn how to play the old songs, we suck, do you have any idea how long it would take us to learn how to plan a couple of new songs? We will give it a try but don't bet on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopcornAdler Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 GnR meets Primus and Nine inch Nails.....these aint hacks from nowhere. Axl has brought in the best of the best, No shit they can not handle covering them. Next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcalldp Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 hahaha, there's just no way in hell their guitar player can play buckethead's parts. AGREED! These guys have no idea how this will compare or compliment the older material in a set, seems to work just fine for Axl on the live stage though I think the reality is, these guys could not cover the new songs because they don't have 3 guitars and two keyboards and none of them can cov3er what Bucket does. Then again, who cares..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendevil Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'd like to see an oldschool GNR band with the talent to play some of those solos correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 UKGNR's response:Well, we are still waiting to hear most of it but yeah, from the first single, i dont think many are hopeful that it will match the magic 1987-1992 GNR era. Velvet revolver came 70% close with a fantastic album and a not-so-fantastic one. Just goes to show that the original band were more than the sum of their parts. Something magical happened between those guys like Led Zep, Stones.. etc. Its impossible for one, two or a few members to trulely hit that peak without everyone involved. Why the F**ck did axl go and have to deprive all of their fans of the band. We could have had 5-8 GUNS N ROSES albums in this peroid of inactivity. I'm sure he has his own personal reason but he really has deprived the rock community of its last truely special ROCK BAND.Come on Axl & Co.... put your differences behind you and give us what we want....... the old GNR back!!!Oh by the way, our website is http://www.ukgunsnroses.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is they CAN'T play the new stuff. I know some of the band personally and the singer can't hit Axl's notes on the new album and the guitarists are limited at best. To do the new album it would require another member on guitar a shredder in fact. The UKGNR are a good band but very well known in the UK for being robots. Meaning you see the same show over and over and over again. Tokyo 92. Ths singer has no on stage charisma other than what he learned of the UYI dvdsHowever Guns 2 Roses who are known for their ability to change their act on every performance "ARE" performing tracks from the new album and even have a mini tour from the 20th - 23rd of November around London.The show they have on Thursday will even have a member of interscope previewing the album.http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=129777 Edited November 21, 2008 by coldheartbreaker25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
