evergreen_layne Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Now that SOAD and Soundgarden are running around blowing people's minds it kinda makes GNR look stupid.You've obviously not seen them live then, the piss all over SOAD and Soundgarden.cmon seriouslyAbsolutely fucking kills those two bands, and I've seen all 3 of them live.

WhazUp Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I have seen GNR, SOAD, and Soundgarden live here in Los Angeles and the Soundgarden show was the best of the three IMHO, although all of them put on great shows.

w6a6x6l6 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 point of arguement in another thread about not killing your self because of CD song , where cupcakes were arguing about what axl wrote on AFD..................... Slash said himself certain solos (SCOM) were axls idea , synth on paradise city , axls idea .................... hmmmm the album wouldnt be the same without Axl's ideas.SUCK IT.

w6a6x6l6 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 But to downplay slashs contributions to classic guns is just ridculous. Riffs on jungle, sweet child slashs idea. "Killer melodies" on estranged, slashes idea. Sixth best guitar solo of all time goes to slashs solos in november rain...I mean honestly, it is what it is today, but slashes guitar contributions to guns is what makes up about most of the nu guns shows (along with ALL the other classic members of course). There would not be as many asses in the seats if it weren't for that. Period.Sweet child was a warm up , even Slash admits it was Axl's idea to use it.not downplaying his talent but without Axl's input the album would be NO where close to what it is.

w6a6x6l6 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Fair enough. But the same could be said vice versa. Appetite arguably wouldn't have been anywhere near as good of an album without slash too.how many guitarists have played slashs shit even better than he did , now imagine bon jovi or brett micheals singing out to get me.

And the basic melody of the NR outro solo maybe the same but the fast runs are all him. I know you may not like Slash to have been a contributing member of the band, and that's cool you are allowed to not like the guy, but he wasn't just a lame duck in the band. Like it or not he did contribute many things during the 1985-1994 timeframe and many, many people like what he brought to the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anja Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've noticed a lot of people who are obsessed with Guns n' Roses. Informal survey: are you one of them?oh yes !!! i was very obsessed with GNR in my teenage years in the late 80ies and early 90ies.it was exciting to get informations an news about the band....i tried to get everything written in magazines.........even if i knew, that the story was wrong i remember the day when i taped the freddie mercury tribute concert on vhs because of gnr. this tape was holy in these days, there was no internet and no youtube.i was lucky to have cable tv and the world stopped turning, when i saw a gnr-video on mtv.i don't have to say, that i followed the tour to different places in europe.then it became quiet. i never expected to see gnr like they were in these days again.today, i'm not obsessed anymore, but i still follow the things that the old and new members of gnr are doing.i'm busy with my own life, but gnr is a tiny little part of it.it was a sweet feeling listening to chi dem so many years later. i could feel a bit of the old days.

dalsh327 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I used to be. Pearl Jam is the band I am really into now (BTW I saw Eddie Vedder tonight, it was fucking incredible). Pearl Jams music hits me on a personal level. Not to mention they play long sets, always change up the setlist, have a great fan club and fan club ticket oppurtunities, etc. But I will always have a special place in my heart for GNR, they were the first band I really got obsessed with.I think of PJ the same way I think of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Just guys who write good songs, put on a good show, and not all that full of themselves. Maybe it was different 20 years ago when they were dealing with fame and people wanted a piece of them way more, but they're all just guys who play music for a living and keep their sanity with side projects. The members of GNR - everyone has their interactions with band members past and present on here, and it just seems like any other band where you might like one, not like the other, or because they didn't sign something for you, think they're dicks. Obsession to me means stalking, and if I saw any of them out and about shopping or whatnot with their family, I'd be respectful of them being with their family and just give a nod or say a quick thanks for the music. The last thing anyone needs is drawing attention, but when I've seen someone famous doing their thing, it's always been very short. Because I've gotten the "what the fuck do you want, the answer's no, go away" look. And it's ALWAYS come from barely famous, D list celebrities. The best thing to do with your obsession is to create something from it, use that inspiration in your life. Not all songwriters write from personal experiences.

henfjel Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 i used to be, but i'm tired of all the old band vs. new band shit. people are not focusing on the music any more, they're more focused on bashing either new guns or bashing the people that prefer old guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
