Nosaj Thing Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Its funny to me that people would accept Miles Kennedy, Gilby Clark, and Matt sorum performing at GnR's induction, but not Axl's GnR.Gilby and Matt were part of an amazing era of the band. Why exclude them?Gilby was a hired gun. Matt plays on uyi but didn't write anything.Gilby wasn't inducted. Gilby was invited to jam with the other guys. Let's not forget that Gilby helped the band when Izzy left them all hanging.And a little fact for the ignorants: Duff asked Myles to perform at the HOF, not Slash.It would have flushed everything Axl had been fighting for down the toilet. I can't believe anyone who had been paying attention could have actually entertained the idea that they might reunite.I agree on the reunion part. I don't know why people continue to discuss whether they would have reunited or not. It's never gonna happen. However, what has Axl been working on all these years? Becoming a casino cover band?

Nosaj Thing Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The worst things about the Rock Hall is the decision on what lineup to induct, and how some bands never "make the cut" and it drives their fanbases crazy. We pretty much knew as soon as they announced which members in GNR were being inducted, that Axl wasn't going to show up. They inducted the right members of Guns N' Roses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Myles did well at the HOF all things considered. The worst you can say is he isn't Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Myles did well at the HOF all things considered. The worst you can say is he isn't Axl.Yes. The worst I can say is that he's not Axl, which is the real deal, doesn't have a horrid timbre, versatile and not generic as shit.But yeah, good performance at the HOF by Myles. Very... professional. You can get used to pretty much anything, and I got used to Myles. Edited April 23, 2015 by Rovim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to better music. It's just that only Slash can really sound like Slash and so, I follow his music for the riffs, solos, and melodies he composes cause I love Slash. Myles is just background noise. I prefer him in AB. Blackbird was cool. Edited April 23, 2015 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just a hardcore Slash fan, even if the songs are not really good. I just treat it like cool instrumental guitar ideas that I can enjoy.

gunsfanoldie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just out of curiosity, and I'm sure its been asked before, but who would you have had sing for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame gig? We know from the beginning Axl's not gonna show up, but let's say you have that last week when he officially says he's not coming. Who do you get? The rest of the GNR guys were obviously gonna play, and having Axl be the reason they don't would have been ridiculous. It was their honor too, and just cause Axl couldn't show up to make it great doesn't mean he has to ruin the good time Slash, Duff, Matt and Gilby have playing together.So who do you get? Sebastian (who probably wouldn't do it anyway cause of his "close" ties to Axl)? See thats why I give Myles so much credit. I get that you don't have to like him and I get that people think he's generic. But he didn't even want to do it, basically took himself out of the equation, and at the last minute stepped in because the other guys didn't want Axl ruining their ability to play. To me, thats why even if he sounded like shit (which he didn't) I give him so much respect for doing it. He doesn't want that position, but he's doing it so those guys can play together, and in effect so people like myself and others that want to see real GNR (even if its not with Axl) the chance to see these guys kick ass.Honestly, for that reason, I'm surprised Myles isn't heralded for stepping in. But I'm still open to who else you get to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl and his utter shit voice would have embarrassed the whole thing. Glad he didn't show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Honestly, for that reason, I'm surprised Myles isn't heralded for stepping in. But I'm still open to who else you get to sing.Outside of this forum he was.But there are 3-4 people here who automatically hate anything Slash is associated with. To be honest, their constant negativity about Slash really just proves to the rest of the world that they are true, die-hard Axl Rose fans. Bigger fans than you and I.
