Ralphelmo Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 There's Slash and Duff onboard so your question is pretty much rhetorical.
bran Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 i doubt axl will ever sound as good as he did in 2010, i think slash and duff will do fine.
Rovim Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 It will sound sloppy and uneven. It will sound right. As right as it could be with 2 more pieces of the puzzle. Fortus is a natural choice for rhythm with Slash. Frank classic sounding drummer, will fit right in. Dizzy Slash already played with. Pitman might sound out of place or not or you won't mind too much.Will be fine, as long as Axl takes this shit seriously. If not, still better than nothing. I wanna see them play together again. 20 years is enough.
Silent Jay Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Bucket, Robin and Brain were as big as it gets, hard to step up that.I guess it's more of an emotional thing now. 1
Rovim Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Bucket, Robin and Brain were as big as it gets, hard to step up that.I guess it's more of an emotional thing now.It's also about musical chemistry and Axl, Slash, and Duff had perfect chemistry. I think they still have that. That changes shit. Everything sounds great. With Izzy and Steven too though, it would have sounded 10 times better. Like you can hear it on Ghost with Slash and Izzy or Steven in the RNR HOF performance. Edited January 9, 2016 by Rovim
bacardimayne Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Slash, Fortus and Duff will undoubtedly be solid. The onus is on Axl (and Ferrer if there) to not turn Coachella into the Axl Rose Catastrophe. Edited January 9, 2016 by bacardimayne 2

Or VR's performance of It's so Easy with Izzy back in the day.

It pales in comparison to the original 5's sound, which can only be accomplished with Izzy and Steven as part of a reunion. If Axl allows them to play together for at least one show, it will be obvious. 1

It's timeless and should not be categorized in that post glam-pre grunge era, or any classification. 1
Roky Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Duff is better than Stinson, Slash is better than any nugnr guitarist. So, yes, the band will sound better.
slaxl stradler Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Im sure all of them will bring their a game..however, i'm still not entirely sold on ferrer.. sure he's a great drummer.. but theres been songs he's played where his style of play hasn't suited the song..

It's timeless and should not be categorized in that post glam-pre grunge era, or any classification.I agree, but let's not get carried away. Like Lennon, it is not. And Niven is a cunt.But they were that briliant, or not. Civil War was probably the song that made Axl paranoid, being killed bc he said too much. It could have been more profound by quoting him.

Look at Axl during Sweet Child at the Golden Gods, he knew all along that it will be the end of the line for DJ, or any prestation of Patience in 2014. Because it pissed off Duff.Same with Frank he will be in the hot seat if the rams don't turn it around. Edited January 9, 2016 by Silent Jay
Seb91 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I think it will, I don't dislike Ashba as much as many on here do but let's be honest his playing got sloppy as hell towards the end - case in point being the Patience solo. My one hope for the new shows is that they bring a more stripped back approach to the songs. I love KOHD and it was always the highlight of the show for me but it did get ridiculous how long it went on for from about 2012 onwards. Given it seems we're back to a two guitar sound I'm hoping that this means that there won't be as much padding in the songs. I guess the key factor, as always, will be Axl's voice - I hope he really puts time and effort in to get as close to 2006 and 2010 he can but considering there's no change of management who knows if he will? Maybe the fact that Slash is back will be enough to motivate him. Time will tell ultimately, if they play the UK I'll go in a shot regardless primarily to see Slash and Duff play a GN'R set together. I think it may be a bit optimistic to expect Axl to do a complete 180 vocals wise but then I'm just trying not to get my hopes up. Edited January 9, 2016 by BassistSeb
F*ck Fear Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Musically it's going to be hard to top DJ Ashba's solo's in Sweet Child and This I Love...Kidding.I think it will sound closer to what Guns N Roses used to sound like lol.
slitherz Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Every line-up of GNR have sounded very good This one will sound like upgraded UYI line-up... Richard is better guitar player than Gilby, Frank has better feel and drum sound than Matt on UYI tour. Plus Slash and Duff are now better players

Silent Jay Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 This question. Remember the band is forging ahead!
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Axl's the bottleneck. It all depends on how well he will prepare.If they do CD material, they'll stick to the songs that Slash can play
Ralphelmo Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Frank has better feel and drum sound than Matt on UYI tourThat's so bullsiht. 1
Słash Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Only one guy can play this intro and here it is and still going good.
