RONIN Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Steven Adler is EXPENDABLE. What mean Expendable? In the words of John Rambo: It's like when you're invited to a party and you don't show up and it doesn't really matter. Steven was great on Appetite, but the guy is not on the same level as the rest of the band anymore. It's sad and I feel for the guy but he abused himself for 25+ years and it has taken a toll. The poor guy is not ready for prime time any more and it seems like the band feels the same way. Izzy Stradlin' on the other hand is not expendable. He's the secret weapon of Guns N' Roses. All efforts must be focused on bringing him back into the band and tossing out Frank and Fortus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about Adler, think its time to move on as i never thought he would be in band, if anything, a few songs be played at a few gigs (Maybe the L.A Gig) Again, Izzy was the same for me, only play a few songs for some gigs. Fortus for me is a much better guitarist and i would only get Izzy involved if they release new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about chemistry and feel dude -- Izzy just gels with Slash better than any other guitarist on earth. He's also vital to the band's songwriting. Fortus may arguably be a better technical guitarist but how good does he work with Duff and Slash? How good are his songwriting skills? If we are going by pure skills, Axl already tried that in 1999-2002 by recruiting freese, Buckethead, etc who were all incredible session players -- but as he found out, technical ability doesn't make a band. Duff,Axl, Slash, and Izzy sitting in a room writing songs will always beat what the '02 band could do. Chemistry can't be denied. For the record, Buckethead is an epic talent as are Brain and Freese. The rest of nu guns were meh imho. Edited June 22, 2016 by RONIN 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how they would go about fitting Steven into the set, not without it causing disruption to the flow, I don't think he's going to be there at all. I can handle that and would really prefer Matt to be brought back than Adler, but he's not even been asked, so Frank it is then. Izzy not being there is a huge downer for me, it would kick them into another gear him being there. I hope they sort something out with him soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also other reports suggest that they would unplug izzy amp when they played live, when he came back in 93. I would love to see him part of the band but think Fortus is the correct guy to have if he is doing nothing with the reunion but i still believe we will see him some gig down the line with this tour.

Can't believe the tour is about to start and all we get are boring videos of cables and equipment. Yes many i had seen before, but there was some i had not, but yes where is the news on the tour?!

That may be true for some but most people that aren't happy with Frank and Fortus is because of the sound. It would be a lot easier to accept members that weren't part of the classic lineups if the band sounded great. Sadly, they just don't to many... No sir, not bullshit we want some of the old too, not new people etc. We want to get both Guns N Roses sounded great in Las Vegas and Mexico!

Plus those pics of the UYI stage look like the same thing we're getting now except we're getting WAY better screens. Only thing missing is the giant UYI banners on either side, which I can totally live without seeing as we're getting much bigger & better screens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely a fair point. Plain Guns logo with shots of the band would suffice. I just can't believe people are bitching about the size of the stage. Don't like Frank or Fortus? Melissa too much? Fair enough. But I mean, the stage not being big enough? It's not about the size of the boat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Seriously they are pushing 55. You won't be seeing them jumping off ramps and sprinting from one end of the stage to another lol good point about the stupid effects. They zero no purpose and are actually quite distracting. Lights are enough. Good idea show the different logos and a few classic pictures. We don't need shots from someone flying through the clouds or drag racing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be awesome if on the inside portion of the stage they had all the Guns N Roses album banners hanging kinda like they did in 06 with the Chinese stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
