RandallFlagg Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Del James probably has more input and sway on new music and setlists than Bumblefoot, 4tus and Ashba have had/will ever have.

wasted Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Haha wow, is Stinson taking the piss out of Ashba? What's with this forum and the use of "taking the piss"? Seems like lots of usage... The bloody Brits are taking over!Those bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfriend Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 At least Del has stopped charging for his brain droppings. Well, to be more accurate the publishers have stopped paying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrolg Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Axl & gang have been keeping busy...https://www.facebook.com/gunsnroses/posts/10153690023048069In the end, they mention the fact that Axl got aware of his performances and got in touch. He actually sounds decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Del is the closest thing Axl has in his life to Adler. In that they are both imbeciles desperate to prove their lack of intelligence every time they open their mouths.To be fair though, Adler claims to be a drummer and can actually drum. Del claims to be a writer and hahahahaha sorry I can't finish that sentence.Nothing Del said has led me to believe he's a stupid man. Perhaps he lacks talent in your opinion, but he seems intelligent enough to me, and he is far, far more intelligent compared to Steven. I can't believe I'm actually typing this shit.Don't really like his personality from interviews he gave and sarcastic tweets. But he's not stupid. He's actually quite sharp imo. Just not very pleasant and has a big ego without good reason judging by his online presence.I think he drinks coffee and tweets all day. Forgets to feed Paul Huge sometimes. (not that there's anything wrong with that) Edited October 15, 2015 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If classic GnR ever reunites, I hope they hold up a "Where's Paul?!" sign in their next video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Paul is a footnote in gnr and rock music history. He's a nobody. His contributions to music are hilariously awful. He's known because he is Axl's friend. He's worse than Gilby Clarke. I'm not surprised he quit Axl's band. He's the first to recognize he's not talented, he's not an artist, he's nothing. Anyone who praises him knows nothing about music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) But... b... w-with-without Paul... There would be no more Gens N' Rosses Edited October 16, 2015 by Rdeyahlxp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Paul is like Izzy in a way imo. Touring is not the main goal, and like it or not, he's one of Axl's writing partners and closest friends. A lot of the big guns on Chinese would probably not exist without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A bit like Bucket, Paul is a good guitarist just not a rock star. Can't handle all the egos and bullshit. Maybe like Izzy. But Paul kind of wrote some Jimmy Page guitar parts for Axl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is useless, always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is useless, always has been.Yep. He hasn't been hired to write and compose to other big bands. He has never formed a relevant band. He contributed to an essentially solo album meaning his input was minimum. He can barely play the guitar judging by his performances.Sorry for the off-topic.

gnrjanus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I thought Paul did well. On rocket queen, think about you, oh my god. The blues. He's no big solo player. But he can play some stuff and play some nice rhythme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You don't know nothing about music", "he's a hack", "playing in Axl's solo band" blah blah blah.Not sure what he precisely wrote / played on Chinese but I like the songs he was involved in.
