jimb0 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I was just listening to the Diver City Appetite for Democracy bootleg and it starts with Axl introducing DJ followed by I think it's Tommy saying "The Number One Smash Hit Mi Amore" which I thought was pretty funny.I recall in a DJ interview that DJ said he sent 12 songs to Axl in addition to the solo's he played which Axl requested him to record for him.Do you guys think that the Ballad of Death or Mi Amore have the potential to be turned into GNR songs that Axl can sing on? Personally I feel if Axl can make songs like Silkworms, Scraped, Rhiad... ETC that he can surely turn these two solo spots into interesting tracks for himself and the band. As far as I know DJ wrote all of the parts to the song himself. So I gotta' wonder what they would sound like with the Axl touch. I think they have potential.What do you fellers think?

axlrosefan1 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Does anyone remember the song that Fortus did at one of the shows? It sounded a lot like old Guns. Now that I would love to see. I'll try to find the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to find the video. Please do... Fortus is a grossly underutilized asset to Axl. Considering he's been in the band for 10 years and hasn't done much that has been released besides his small contributions on CD is an absolute outrage.

axlrosefan1 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Alright check it out:I think I found you at 2:22 jimb0 but the song starts at 2:30.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a22GYLJ3ZhwSounds like old guns with some aerosmith. What do you guys think? Edited March 28, 2013 by axlrosefan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimb0 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I love that song... haha, I thought you meant another more rare song.. but it's always good to hear Richard on guitar so thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlrosefan1 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think that's it. All I remember was some crappy cell phone video of it being posted here last year and the forum went nuts. I think this is it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieSheen Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Richard's solo would sound awesome if Axl decided to add vocals to it, And i think Jimb0 hit the nail on the head with this ''Fortus is a grossly underutilized asset to Axl.'' .

jimb0 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I've thought since 2002 that Richard should have been a main song writer, ever since I heard his outro to The Blues. There is just so much more he can do, and just has not gotten the chance. It's just crazy to think he's been in the band for a decade and all we have are mini contributions to CD.

Ace Frehley Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 When i was at the Perth show a couple of weeks ago, the crowd seemed to really enjoy Mi Amore. It got a great response. A few people next to me were saying that it would've been good if it was an actual Guns song. And I tend to agree with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Based on my conversation with DJ in 2010, I don't see this happening with the Ballad of Death. Perhaps somethings change, but by all indication as was conveyed to me by DJ, not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollapalooza Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 We know Axl asked DJ to get those solos recorded in studio. So there are some chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman2000 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I love Richard. He reminds me so much of Izzy, playing wise, looks, and personality. I heard that Ballad of Death and Mi Amor are studio recorded already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chorrada Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 One of the solos, I think it was Ballad of Death, was already used on the Sixx: AM song Oh my God, so I guess you can forget about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimb0 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 That song sounds way more like Where the Streets Have No Name... I don't see that much of a similarity between OMG (Sixx) and Ballad of Death for it to be any conflict. Maybe I'm not hearing it right? I don't think he'd still be playing it if he thought it was a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
