The Glow Inc. Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 From Slash's Twitter : "Doing some guitar today for a song Jon Stevens & I wrote for his new project, Dead Daisies. Really cool tune. iiii]; )'"Richard Fortus is the lead guitarist of the Dead Daisies.http://www.thedeaddaisies.com/the-band/That's kinda cool eh ?

ShadowOfTheWave Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Kinda pathetic to get Fortus and Slash on an original song before Fortus and Axl. Unless you count whatever his work on CD was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 fuck, i really liked fortus. axl will surely fire him now! just kidding, thats kind of cool though. i always got the feeling that slash looked down on the guitar players that have been in GNR since he left (i dont necessarily blame him, and it is just an assumption), but i would feel he would have to respect the hell out of richard, richards just such a talent and a really cool guy.and it is sort of sad that richard is on a track with slash as opposed to axl right now, oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satapher_Groddius Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As far I know that band is in Austrialia, for a couple of shows with ZZ Top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Axl better fire fast that traitor named Fortus...after all Axl has done for him, he'll jam with the 'the cancer'!? Ungrateful fuck.Seriously though if it's true it's a real cool and I'm curious to hear it. Good for Slash for being so creative and proactive.

gunsfanoldie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Richard Fortus is the best guitarist they have. Ashba is all looks, and I guess you either love or don't care about Bumblefoot. I'm the latter. Fortus plays excellent guitar, has great energy, and all around just seems like a good guy. If he were to get fired, then you nearly have no people I care about in New GNR.

Ragnar Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Richard is underused in the band guitarist like him should n`t stand in the Shadow of DJ Cashba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm sure this is just a coincidence. Richard is a session guitarist, he is being paid as a hired member in this band, and slash is being hired to write a song. That is it. I'm sure everyone in rock music knows each other in some form or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I don't get the impression that Axl is too bothered about people crossing paths in a professional sense. He probably accepts to some extent that business is business especially when it comes to session musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure everyone in rock music knows each other in some form or another. That's true but as Axl himself once said: "In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided and the less anyone heard of him or his supporters, the better."Wouldn't Fortus in that case be not avoiding the 'cancer' and even indirectly supporting him?

alfierose Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 He is friends with Bach who is doing that gig with Slash later this year. I am assuming that is okay unless they have had an unreported fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) This reminds me of that time back in 2009 when Slash and Adler played at the Viper Room and then later that night Dizzy Reed and Fortus also played at the Viper Room and all of these rumors broke out that they had played together, but in reality Slash and Adler had left the stage WAY before Dizzy and Richard came on lol.
