IRanOutOfIdeas Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I say new guitarist because I don't want everyone picking Bucket or Robin or Richard. The way I look at it, DJ and Ron are just two guitarists doing what Slash basically could do by himself (Inb4 oh all of the CD songs had 3 guitar parts etc. etc.) DJ handles the riffs and Ron handles the more proficient shredding. This setup works since DJ and Ron help cover each other's shortcomings. But what if forever reason, GNR went back to a lead/rhythm lineup reminiscent of the "classic" era and DJ and Ron's roles were fused back into one guitarist? Who in your opinion would be competent enough to take on both of these roles and be a good fit for the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 If Bumble was going too i would say Bucket. But keep Ron, just get rid of Ashba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hmmmm. Who would be good as the sole GNR lead guitarist? If only we didn't have to speculate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Jason Hook is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hmmmm. Who would be good as the sole GNR lead guitarist? If only we didn't have to speculate. Clearly the answer is Paul Huge. He is Guns N' Roses after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Jake E Lee.I don't think guys like Ashba or John Lowery have the "pedigree" to be in GNR, personally...they may as well get CC Deville if guys like that are eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRanOutOfIdeas Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Zakk would definitely beef up the music. He definitely overpowers Slash in the times he has played with him. Makes me think he'd turn GNR into a metal band though.But oh God what if they got Mark Tremonti bwhahahahahahah.EDIT:I could somewhat see Kenny Wayne Shepherd or Jonny Lang taking the helm.
