MrSoftie Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm in the Matt should be the drummer bandwagon. Just listen at the difference in drumming styles between the two. Matt makes the band sound huge. Frank seems like his uses triggers for drum samples for his sound, which sound kind of thin.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsze77HWdNshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ZbCS9D7ZQNot a great example for Frank, they fucked up the recording of his drums (as you can hear in the non-existent drum roll at the beginning). His playing is good but the drum sound is shite. Very digital. Fix that and it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changes Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm starting to think this I simply not a reunion. There were vacancies in the band and slash and duff filled them.During most of the UYI tour, there were three original members (Slash, Duff, Axl). At Coachella, there will be three (maybe more) original members (Slash, Duff, Axl). If that's not a reunion, I don't know what it is.Plus, the offcial GNR site is promoting the upcoming shows with footage from GNR's last show in 1993.I just meant that even if we regard it as a reunion it might not be treated and marketed like one by the band. They could be seeing it as an "evolution" involving returning members. And in that scenario there's no reason for them to give either Steven, Matt or Izzy a call. You have a point about the logo though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKesseli Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 GNR (1987-1993) has always been Axl, Slash and Duff. Sold out arenas and stadiums during UYI period confirms that.For them, it doesnt matter who is on drums or rythm guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you are wrong.Axl in 1992: "It was always kind of a triad between Slash, Izzy and me.

And those 3 were the ones there the whole time when it was the biggest band in the world.If there was some sort of incident with Sorum and Axl, hopefully the rumors about Adler at least getting a bone tossed at him at Coachella are still true.I don't expect them to count on him for a whole tour, but I'm sure it'd be a dream come true for him to play to a crowd that size again, even if only once. Dude looked so damn happy at the RnR HOF induction to be playing something bigger than a suburban bar somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Pitman... Does that also mean they're likely to play some CD tracks? I would also love to see them bust out a VR track or two. Also, if they want to do this right, have Adler, Sorum, Izzy and maybe even Gilby appear on at least some songs. Just for the coolness of it. Hell, I'd like a Finck appearance too.

6lake sa66ath Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'll be more disappointed with CD tracks in the setlist then I would with no Izzy or Adler. It should all be about the classic era, no bullshit! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If they're not reuniting the full band, it probably means Slash & Duff are being paid handsomely to come do this. But it also means they're coming in as hired hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) If they're not reuniting the full band, it probably means Slash & Duff are being paid handsomely to come do this. But it also means they're coming in as hired hands.I doubt that. Why would they come back for that? Especially Duff,who is known for his investments. I see it being an equal split between Slash,Duff and Axl with the other (5?)guys on a nice salary but not getting merch money.

I'd say Chinese tracks are fair game now. Everybody but slash and duff now will have recorded them and duff likes playing them so chances are slash would be cool with it.

Tom-Ass Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm on board with the drummer thing, but people need to take the stick out of their ass with Pittman. It's not like his presence makes the band any worse..It makes it worse to me... There are already enough keyboards from Dizzy watering down what should be kick ass stripped down rock songs. Pittman is just added noise.. Plus it looks stupid having two keyboardists up there.. Just a bloated mess.. That was one of the dumbest things about NuGnR...
