Guest RonMexico82 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Can't help but look at that, the massive potential there, and look now at where we are today and I just wonder to myself for the second time with this band - Where did it all go wrong?

Guest RonMexico82 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yeah reality sucks don't it. I actually wanted to discuss the potential that was never realised with that line-up but if you would rather resort to comments like that blah blah blah who gives a shit...?

Guest RonMexico82 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'm not talking about MyGNR. I'm talking about that line-up and how we got from that to the current cash grab mockery of a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amacfantasy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I could agree with the feeling of disappointment in lost potential with the band, I mean after all isn't that what most Old GNR fans feel about the famous breaking up of the original GNR band? But just speaking of the NuGNR, yeah those band lineups we have seen in this Chinese era had so much potential but in particular the Bucket years lineup. But see for me it's not all lost because there are tons of recordings from the Chinese era and that's why us getting our hands on these old recordings is so important because while we may never see this lineup and band demeanor again we can however experience it through this periods time capsules known as the recordings!

Eddie Money Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thank you for that memory. I love the Brains drumming on the old songs. I would like to see this version of the band with brain on drums for Rio in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 well, it was never really going very well in the first place. This band couldn't have succeeded in the shadow of the old band, maybe if it had a different name, but the fact that its still supposed to be Guns N' Roses even though its... not even the same band, really prevents a lot of people from taking it seriously. Guns N' Roses was a great band because it had great combination of musical personalities captured in time, no matter who you track down, no matter who you pay, you can't match that. Shit like that just happens, you can't make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I saw this I was so fuckin' pumped, zipped down to Vegas to see them soon thereafter and was on cloud nine. The bottom line is that Axl fucked it up....again. I supported this new band for years, but after watching everything unfold over the last decade I realized he needs to get back with the old guys and produce some magic again. He had his chance and showed that he couldn't bring much to the table other than excuses and line up changes. After a while you have to look in the mirror and realize that everybody else is not the problem, you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl had the potential to build from here, if there had been a consistent lineup and releases made, they could have made it back to top. So many talented guys, like Buckethead for example!What happened is just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siliconmessiah Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I wish that the lineup from 2002 will rise and rebuild out of the rubble. A new album with Finck and Bucket would be something to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest siliconmessiah Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) wtf is Robin doing from1:00 ?might be a little drunkIt´s amazing how bucket takes on this song...had me from the first time I heard it.I had tickets for GNR:s first postponed then cancelled (business as usual) Euro-Tour back in 2001...but I had to wait until 2006. It was fine, although no Bucket =/. But then Finck left, and the band got crippled now dead. Edited April 18, 2011 by siliconmessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And continued to build upon this...Instead they tried the Chinese Democracy tour in 2010 with a crippled lineup and a copy of slash with a hat on.No wonder they went down in flames.
