The Catcher in the Rye Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 You know, for me the band from 2002 with Buckethead, Robin Finck and Richard Fortus on the guitars is the most amazing awesome great band in the history of GNR, the level of composition in the music is from gods, but this band with Bumblefoot and Dj kickin asses, I mean, the 2002 in composition is the gratest band in the history of GNR, but on live, I think 2011 is the better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-iMSp7ftSs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The only reason people debate this is because Axl was so much better in 2006 and 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 2010-11 for sure. Bucket ruined that solo in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Dude, anything can be better than 2002. Axl's voice was a totally mess but Buckethead was on fuckin' fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If Axl had his 2006 or 2010 vocals in 2002... I'm a BIG fan of the 2002 line up, love Buckethead, Brian and Robin and sad they are gone. However this current incarnation play the material to perfection and are more rock n' roll. The 2002 line up had little chemistry and looked like a goth/industrial/punk juxtaposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBrown Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I think the 2011 band is much better in every aspect. The 2002 band was good at playing some of the songs, but they looked like a freakshow. The 2011 band is great, and they look like a rock band. They also have the chemistry together that the 2002 band did not. If you factor in the WHOLE band, it's not even a comparison, since Axl sounds much better in 2011 than 2002.

SonofaGun Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 2002 is the only version of the band I have never seen live, going back to 88. Wish I had. I love Buckethead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnRDuff1 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I thank the 2002 lineup for the music on CD, but I thank this lineup for getting people to take GnR seriously again. I love the 02 lineup but live, they did look a bit mashed together. Talent-wise, idk because I haven't heard anything written by the new band. Theyy certainly SEEM to enjoy being on stage together, and hopefully that could translate to a quick production of an awesome album. The we can really judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use Your Delusion 1 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 2002 was the worst line up in GNR history, they sounded TERRIBLE, absolutely horrific in placesBest individuals=worst band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge_And_Slash Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I wish the 2002 line-up could have taken off, but the truth is that wasn't a band, the guys didn't hang out. Axl could have had a 3 guitar attack of Buckethead, Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, Colonel Claypool on bass and it still just wouldn't have worked as a band. In studio, yes, perhaps. The 2011 line-up actually gel together for the most part, that can only be a good thing.Edit: Just a thought that popped into my head, but I wonder what the people praising the 2002 line-up over everything else would have been like had the 2011 line-up happened in 2002, and the 02 line-up happened currently.

watchman Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 2002/2006 was a messy and carnevalesque freakshow bursting with creative energy, on the edge, daring, challenging, striving, evolving, progressing. It was a circus, a fireworks.2011 is a travesty, a broadway show, a play, better setlists though and Axl sounding more constant, but lots of Rose but no Guns, like Bon Jovi with slightly bigger balls. Boring. The band simply lacks more creative energy and a real star guitar player to bring out the best in everyone, incl. Axl, the band, the fans, the media, just everyone.the band from 2002 with Buckethead, Robin Finck and Richard Fortus on the guitars is the most amazing awesome great band in the history of GNRTrue.+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need double neck or freetless guitar.And obvioulsy we is a attention whore, He is so nice to fans because of that, to get attention!
