MANETS.FOREVER Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) You think Guns N' Roses should have more stars on the band? Check out who almost joined the band when the Illusions band was breaking up and Axl was still mounting the 2000 Intentions line-up:GUITAR- Dave Navarro, from Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chilli Peppers (1991 and 1999).- Zakk Wylde, from Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society.(1995).- Chris Shiflett, from Foo Fighters (1997).- Zim Zum, from Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails (1999).- Richard Fortus (2000).- Stevie Salas.- Nick Sterling, from Sebastian Bach Band (2009).DRUMS- Tico Torres, from Bon Jovi (1990).- Igor Cavalera, from Sepultura and Cavalera Conspiracy (1997).- Dave Abbruzzese, from Pearl Jam (1997).- Chris Vrenna, from Nine Inch Nails (1997). Someone posted at GNR Brasil, with pictures, videos, interviews and quotes from the guys regarding them joining (or not) GNR. Didn't feel like translating everything Well, the Stevie Salas quote is very interesting, I'll translate it:"When we jamed, each of them was using ProTools, adding some noises - you know, bells and whistles - and the idea was that, from what I could understand, they would record hours of music for then search for some part that could turn into a song. Then they take that piece of the music and start from there. I thought they were all insane"lol Edited April 23, 2011 by MANETS.FOREVER
WhazUp Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Dave A. plays drums in PJ, he auditioned for a guitar spot in gnr?
MANETS.FOREVER Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Nah. Missed it. Thanks. Edited April 23, 2011 by MANETS.FOREVER
MANETS.FOREVER Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Nick Sterling??! Proof or link or get to fucklolI don't have the link, but there are some, about him talking about it, Bumblefoot talking about it. There's even a video where he talks about it.He rehearsaled with Guns N' Roses on 2009, Ron invited him. They didn't have a 3rd guitarist, Robin had left. It was clearly an audition. There was a big thread here about it. Just use the "awesome" search engine. Edited April 24, 2011 by MANETS.FOREVER
AxlIsGod. Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 any proof/quotes to do with chris shiflet? not heard that one before
Dead Flower Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 So pleased I did a google image search for Nick Sterling.
MANETS.FOREVER Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 any proof/quotes to do with chris shiflet? not heard that one before Sure! I'll translate it. If you guys want me to translate any other, just say.Chris ShiflettWas the guitarist of the band No Use For A Name, and it's a Foo Fighters member since 1999. A friend of Chris was getting him an audition with Guns N' Roses, which was making auditions to find someone to replace Robin Finck. But he said he heard Foo Fighters needed a guitarist too, and he asked this friend to get him an audition with Foo Fighters, and no with Guns N' Roses. And it happened that way, and since then, Chris is the Foo Fighters guitarist.So pleased I did a google image search for Nick Sterling.Shit!
Guest gunns5 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 lol nick sterling is now bach's guitarist, alls well that ends well
MANETS.FOREVER Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 I believe Dave plays on "Oh My God." Zakk and Slash have both said that the two of them can't play together as the style is too similar. GNR really doesn't need three guitarists.Yeah, Dave plays on OMG.

GivenToFly Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Other than Navarro, Wylde and Torres, they're not really stars.
Bansidhe Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Igor Cavalera could have been interesting, certainly if the band were looking at working on heavier material at the time. Not sure how the tribal thing would fit in though.
