ManetsBR Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Some GNR members, including Axl himself, confirmed that both Brian and Paul still work with Guns N' Roses. When Finck left, Axl said he was still part of the "GNR Family", he probably meant that he would still work with them.The fact is that Fortus entered the band in 2002, and I thought CD would be full of him, but it isn't, instead we have a lot of Paul Tobias, who "left" in 2001.In 2009 I asked Brian who would tour with the band on the upcoming tour, he said he hoped it's him, but he didn't know yet. Then I asked him again and he said "I'll be there playing the new songs and Frank will play the old songs".I created this thread because I read this week at a forum some 90's magazine article where it said that Dizzy Reed was hanging out with a GNR Studio Drummer. I can't find it, but I know that I've never heard of that guy before.What do you guys think? Is there a studio band, where Paul and Brian still work, and a tour band?Axl said that Paul was kinda afraid of doing World tours, right? Well, he never said he was out did he? Same with Brian...

Lose Your Illusions Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I'm betting that after seeing the new band act like a real band and having fun with each other, the next album will feature only the current touring band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 yeah....Sucks for Brain...Frank has been doing a great job on this tour, I have no complaints at all...but Brain is and probably always will be my favourite drummer of all time.As regards the OP, that probably has to do with the nature of Chinese Democracy, don't you think ?Long delayed album written and recorded by the complete reinvention of what was once a very successful band under the direction of a ridiculously TOO perfectionist frontman ?I don't think it was Axl's original plan to later replace Finck, Bucket, Tobias and Brain.The current lineup, as good as it is, is but the direct aftermath of the other guys leaving.If you like, the 2001-2002 lineup was Axl's primary vision. The current lineup is a consequence more than a choice ( even though Axl seems to enjoy it a lot ) I think. Anyway, as long as he's surrounded by great musicians whom I care about, I'm fine with whatever ( aka Bumble don't leave ! ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquor & Whores Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Brain has been out of the band since 2006, so that's nothing new to meHowever, if the next record is released some day, it may include his work, as well as Bucket's and Robin's, but that's a different storyI'm pretty sure that Paul Huge hasn't left the band or the GNR-family (as it seems to be a better expression in these circumstances) he just decided in 2001 that he did not want to tour with GNR anymore...He is too important for Axl to leave for good, I guess Edited July 5, 2010 by DrDrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) No, that just means that Finck is still part of the Guns n Roses history, like how Slash or Buckethead is. I'd bet a good $100 that he's not affiliated with the band in any way now.Robin continues to be part of GN'R, by virtue of Guns' history and his involvement in Chinese Democracy. Maybe I'm just interpreting it wrong. Edited July 5, 2010 by ItsSuchACrimeUKnowItsJAKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrjanus Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 the problem with the studioband gnr is that it doesn't exist anymore.the most influence on chidem are robin,bucket,brain,paul,axl,tommy, dizzy and chrisand I believe the most influence are to be from Paul and Tommy since they kept gnr alive...

The Glow Inc. Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 That means that Axl does not think that Robin "either should not have been in Guns to begin with or should have left after Chinese Democracy" and that he does not consider him a cancer.

FuddMckagan Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I just hope we get to hear the rest of the stuff from the CD sessions. And having DJ going over BH and Robin's parts would be fucking awful. Just keep it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having DJ going over BH and Robin's parts would be fucking awful. Just keep it as it is.Agreed. It's not that I don't like D.J's style. I think he's very talented. I just feel Axl's original intent and vision was with Robin and Bucket as the guitar players for Chinese Democracy in mind, so going by Axl's own words that what we've got is only half of the double album, it will be a diservice to the concept without the major musical forces work on the second part of Chinese Democracy. Bumblefoot and Frank only added parts that didn't take away from most of the experience. I hope Axl will continue to appreciate Bucket's and Robin's contributions to Guns studio work.
