What's the point of Bumble/Stinson's solo songs when....

... there's TONS of unreleased Guns material? At least if they're gonna do a couple of songs that no-one knows, why not make it an unreleased CD song, or even OMG?

Totally baffles me although I'm probably preaching to the converted.

Might post this at HTGTH and see how it goes down.....

To maintain the myth that GNR does 3 hour shows even when no one from GNR is on stage for a good portion of the show.

Ask the man, the legend, the chosen one Mister Axl "Welcome To The (Are You?) Crazy Jungle" Rose.

:rofl-lol: :rofl-lol:

OT: There's no point. Axl lost it.

What was the point of Duff doing Attitude and Slashs Godfather theme or Matts drum solo?

its easier just to accept you dont like new Guns?

Thats 3 "covers/jams" to the current 7. Also Attitude was recorded on an album, Slash's Godfather solo was iconic, and Matts drum solo...sucked. No defense on that one. Thats quite a bit different than whats going on today.

The Bond theme I saw was alright. Axl always used to play stuff before Nov Rain. They used to cover Always on the Run, Wild Horses, Mother. The intro to Madagascar was pretty good.

I guess there's more guitarists to give solo spots and Axl must need a rest more often. There's no point dying out there.

They're to give Axl a vocal break

that was kind of happening on UYI tour with Izzy or Duff taking to the mic. It kind of breaks up the shows and makes it possible for them to do 3 hour shows. I doubt Axl could ever go full tilt for 3 hours ever.

Axl sould cut the boring solos that none wants to watch and just make a smaller setlist show, like a 1h30 show - I'm sure he could still handle that with the appropriate oxygen bottle breaks and not running around or dancing as much...

who cares about this
when the Axl supporters/cupcakes arguing here, Slash and Co. delivers a fucking great show
Waxl and Co. is a joke compared to them, despite Slash doesn't have the name and his band contains only 5 members :lol:

Would anyone really prefer to get a show half as long for their money, other than the most casual of casual fans?

The thing is, I'm not bothered about a 3 hour show for ANY band I go to see. 2 hours is just about enough after a while I always think.

Back to my point; as good as some people think the solo songs are (I don't think they're up to much), why not have a CD leftover? Imagine how much more we'd have to talk about on here if they actually played The General or Atlas Shrugged - it'd keep this board going for a decade!

I think the point is Axl has to sing those CD leftover songs. I don't think the intros are that big of a deal. I agree, I don't give a fuck about hearing Ron or Tommy's solo songs but they kind of keep people awake while Axl gets a massage back stage. I like The Seeker and Rosie though. What am I talking about I'm never going to see this show anyway. They can play ABBA cover for all I care.



Its just to keep them happy.

The fans?

No, Ron and Tommy. Who doesn't like to play their own songs in front of 10,000 GNR fans. The weird thing is those songs sometimes seem like a joke about why they are there in the first place. Glad to be Here seemed to have some kind of message in there.

I know I was just joking.
