RandallFlagg Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Nice information guys, didn't remember those facts though I did go through a period of needing to know every date of every song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoking guns Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Can he play UYI stuff tho?I think this is a very important question to ask. If Steven wants to be the man, he needs to show that he can play Estranged, YCBM or DTJ, not SCOM for the millionth time.Steven wrote most of the drum parts for UYI... Listen to the demos with Steven... Matt just cleaned them up and played with perfect timing. But same stuff as Steven for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passenger57 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Adler sounds great to me. Would be cool if he could make some appearances on the reunion tour. It would kill him not to be a part of it. His big happy smile was always a nice counterpoint to Axl's awesome onstage rage. That was always part of the Appetite Era chemistry I missed. Never saw it in any other band. Original GnR had the perfect image/chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Obviously still got it. If there's ever a reunion, Steven must be allowed to play. Non negotiable. Izzy as well. This. It appears from the outside looking in that izzys role will be decided ultimately by izzy. He should be a part of this thing but who are we kidding he will decide his own role. Adler is a tough one and he's not helping himself every time he talks smack about the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adler is a tough one and he's not helping himself every time he talks smack about the band.The thing is, that Duff and Steven are a great rhythm section. It's not just Adler's groove that is so Gn'R, it's how him and Duff sound together as a unit and what they bring to Guns that is so special.As for Izzy, I think he'll do it if there's not too much horseshit going on. Slash never sounded as good with another rhythm player grounding him musically. And Axl is the voice of Gn'R and coupled with Slash's guitar you get something very special.That's Guns N' Roses. I don't oppose Slash, Duff, and Fortus in the same band. I think that could be cool, but no reunion is a real reunion without Steven and Izzy.

DieselDaisy Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Guns just sound different without Adler. It is hard to put my finger on it but they ceased to operate in Stones/Faces/Petty territory and moved swiftly into Zeppelin/heavy metal areas.

Knowing axl and seeing that guns pretty much evolved into a 3 person guitar system, I could even see slash and Izzy doing it with Richard being kept on as a 3rd guitarist, for the purpose of sound in a live setting.

double talkin jive mfkr Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 has anyone thought that fortus and ferrer were also insurance back ups for adler or izzy to fill in should the need be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Money Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) has anyone thought that fortus and ferrer were also insurance back ups for adler or izzy to fill in should the need be thereI'm pretty sure that's the rumor that Eddie Trunk heard. I think that there's a good chance of them setting it up so Fortus and Ferrer are the touring players that will be at every gig, but occasionally, they'll fly in Matt, Izzy, and possibly Steven for a few songs, kind of like how Axl's been doing it with Izzy and Duff appearances since 2006.I can see the stadium shows being all about "ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Izzy Stradlin'", but tuesday night gig at the NEC arena in Birmingham UK or at the FedEx Forum in Memphis would feature only Richard Fortus on guitar.
