volcano62 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The current band should be called (Axl) Rose and Cover.What about Smashing Pumpkins? Billy and Cover?>All songs written and composed by Billy CorganDoes this ring a bell?You will find that on pretty much all their album booklets.So what you're trying to say is Billy pulled a Slash? Wrote EVERYTHING from a-z and told the band members to play it? I'm not sure that's the case..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 ^^^ If there is one band I know more about than Guns N' Roses, it's Smashing Pumpkins. Fact is, even at the height of their fame, Billy Corgan did 95% of the songwriting and instruments (besides drums of course). That's not to say James Iha (the second guitarist from the original lineup) or D'arcy (the bass player) did not have a say in the music, but it was much less of a collaborative effort than a group like the GN'R that put out Appetite for Destruction. If you want to be more specific, the lineup of Smashing Pumpkins that recorded Oceania is more of a "group" in the word than specific lineup. Every member of the current lineup plays on the albums.I still miss James and D'arcy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbalove Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 why are we talking about the past? let's move forward with discussion on new gnr releases!Sure, but errr...what's exactly in the pipeline for new Gn'R? what's in the pipeline is the dvd release!

DieselDaisy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) OP said it the best the current lineup is the longest stable lineup. For example to me Tommy is the legendary bassist of GNR.Nu is not even a proper word in this context and it's shows lack of intelligence when people use it as in NU GNR.There is not much 'stability' with Nugnr/newgnr (whatever you call it). Guns N' Roses, post 1999, are about the most unstable line-up in history! They leak members virtually every year.We are going on 5 years with the current lineup...they don't 'leak" members virtually "every year".Has GNR ever had a stable line up for 5 years?Four years to be precise. And it is only a matter of time before Bumblefoot ditches ship. Edited April 22, 2013 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Didn't take a census,It's time that we did. Since it was your idea, you come up with the parameters. You, Downzy and I will get to the bottom of this once and for all. For the good of MyGNR forumites everywhere!u mad aren't u?English definitely isn't your first language, is it?not it isn't. your point is?OP said it the best the current lineup is the longest stable lineup. For example to me Tommy is the legendary bassist of GNR.Nu is not even a proper word in this context and it's shows lack of intelligence when people use it as in NU GNR.lol wut?he clearly stated many times he hasn't got any respect for GNRyou are a joke sometimesit turned into a revolving door cast of unknowns.Nine Inch Nails, Sixx AM and The Replacements are unknown?NIN is popularSixx AM is only popular because of MötleyThe Replacements? yes they are a relatively unkown band for most part of the worldBlame on Bucket himself.
