Facekicker Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) A fat bloke with dreads....what is wrong with dreads?they're dirty and ugly Not so much "what is wrong" as "we've already had a fat bloke with dreads in the band and it led to much derision" EDIT: Ok ok technically cornrows but they look just as shit on a pasty white guy as dreads do.

jbhutto Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Finck would rather die than give Axl control (again).Jk, I can see Finck coming back for a single tour as long as there's no NIN conflict, I dunno if Axl would want to do that though. If he agreed for a short stint and the band was playing more CD stuff and CDII was released then you can see where he could be lured back.As for Terry Balsamo, I don't know jack about Evanescence, but apparently he suffered a stroke ( a few years ago ) from headbanging. Someone on a post mentioned that he doesn't really do live lead anymore either. I'm not really getting the vibe that he jumped ship and headed over to GnR.

Tom2112 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Doug Aldrich is also freeDoug would be my first choice! amazing! but I don't think he wants to do big long runs and GnR are probably gonna do a big tour if they release this fabled album.

Tom2112 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Richie Kotzen would be rad, fantastic guitarist, great singer, songwriter, piano player and he can shred.No chance, he's firmly with the winery dogs, new album and everything. Great band, great guitar player and singer. GnR had a chance at landing him but it wasn't right for whatever reason. I really like the idea of Doug Aldrich, free and what a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdeyahlxp Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Doug Aldrich fits Gn'R's old school image perfectly! I would be stoked if he joined, but he probably doesn't because he has a brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Honestly couldn't give a shit who joins unless mr rose shows some signs of progression and giving a shit about the band he fought so hard to resurrect for the first time in 5 years.

gnrsucksdotcom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Doug Aldrich is also freeThat would be so dope! I think Doug is the best guitarist for GN'R ever since Finck left the band. He's got it all. Specially talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Doug fan, everything from Lion to Burning Rain to WS, though tbh I didn't love RS. Doug is indeed in a band right now, though I don't think they intend on massively touring.Regardless, Doug's too good to be limited by Axl's Berlin Wall of Anti-Creativity; not to mention he's not a sell-out and he's not a "yes" man. Doug produced both recent WS albums, and wrote 90% of the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug produced both recent WS albums, and wrote 90% of the music.Doug is definitely a writer, and I loved the majority of his work with WS, Burning rain isn't bad either but some of their songs sound like recycled WS riffs from the Good to be bad album. I think he is a great fit musically, but I think they couldn't land him and if they did they would need to make firm promises about plans and allow him some creative input.Having said that! Doug knows how things work and if he thought there was money in GnR without too much work he might be tempted to sign on simply as a touring musician and then come in and record the parts when asked. He didn't do that raiding the rock vault gig just for the fun - money and it left him at home with his young family. As I said before, I think he's liking being home more and with GnR apparently gearing up for a good bit of activity in 2016 that could put him off. Finally, there's not even a shred of evidence to suggest he's even thought of gnr or that gnr have approached him so we'll just have to wait & see how it turns out. We can wish though.

It hasn't bothered me that much, but I have noticed it.I'd rather Doug join back up with WS, those albums are killer.

Subtle Signs Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) This guy will probably sell zero extra tickets if he joins unless there's a large group of Evanescence fans left somewhere. If it isn't Slash,the general public doesn't care. They (along with most people on here) want Slash. I suppose Eddie Van Halen would move a few tickets if he jumped ship to GnR.
