RandallFlagg Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 He's not an original member so it is untrue that he's an original gunner but he is the most integral member after Axl, Slash and Izzy and was a huge cog of Appetite being cultivated after the band started getting their shit together in a historic way so either way is viable in a snake and ladders kinda abstract way depending on your approach to the word original and it's semantics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But acknowledging that he simply wasn't part of the very first lineup of GN'R (=original) really doesn't take anything away from that.Okay, SoulMonster, would Old Gunner be accurate enough for you then ?He's an old gunner for sure, but I am actually quite certain he means it in the "original gunner" meaning, because I seem to remember Duff used to call himself a founding member of GN'R over at that Reverb column of his. I might be wrong though. I hope I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 So Duff is the original replacement and the bassist that replaced the replacement got replaced by the perceived 'original' replacement to rejoin the replacements before replacing the original replacement again who replaced the original member then the replacements will hire Oli to replace Tommy, that's my prediction.

I am waiting on your speech enlighten us about the wrong use of the word gasnter because Duff never belonged to a criminal gang. At least that we know.

RandallFlagg Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Didn't know the guy died, rest in peace!I'll just hire Axl as my lawyer since he knows his way around a few court cases. Or I'll replace myself out of the court with the new member LandallFagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite as nitpicky as you are Is it really nitpicky to reserve "original" for things that were actually the earliest? I have always interpreted those members here who insist on Duff being an original member to either not know better or be on some absurd mission to elevate his position further (not that it really is needed, Duff is a legend) perhaps in an attempt to glorify the AFD lineup compared to later lineups. But perhaps the word is simply evolving into new meanings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 This argument is pure autism.OG basically just means anything old, classic, in some cases original. All there is to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The OG term is often used within the hip-hop, breakdance, poplock, new style community. Someone receives the OG nomenclature when they were there from the beginning, helped build the cause, created styles and produced music. These OGs, are respected among the new guys around who, could be better than them and could have made the dance evolve, but without the OGs who created the style, introduced the basics, they wouldn't be where they are now.For example; In Popping, the OGS are Mr. Wiggles, Poppin' Pete, Suga Pop and Skeeter Rabbit, among others. These people are old as fuck, they don't even dance anymore, but they're the pillars of the street dance and they will always be respected for that.So, I know this is way off-topic, but what I wanted to share is what I know, that's why Duff is being called OG. He was one of the five guys who created Appetite for Destruction, one of the best rock albums of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
