He adds unnecessary fills to songs and I hate the intro to Brownstone and Rocket Queen he does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birk Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 So whats the reason Sorum is not involved? i mean fuck i would rather have Sorum anyday instead of Frank. Sorum said shit about axl or something years ago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birk Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Gotta be awkward for duff and slash since they have been playing with Sorum forever and now he isnt there. But i guess more money for the big 3 if sorum is out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl obviously still runs the show. This reunion tour is all being done on Axls terms. Slash and Duff were always ready for it. Just waited on Axl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 52 minutes ago, hally187 said: Poor Frank... Axl skipped the "You're in the jungle baby" bit so the whole band had to adjust - it just took frank half a second longer to realise! Yup - you can tell he barely realized Slash was starting the intro since Axl didn't do the full set of lines. Funny stuff but they made up big time. It's actually a bit reminiscent of when Matt screwed it up in St. Louis back in 1991. What a great snippet! As a side note - I have to admit, Melissa's "ooh ooh" backing vocals in the chorus of Jungle are probably the best those have ever sounded live and that includes back in the day. Back in the day it was usually off key or not done at all and don't even get me started on the travesty that was Pitman's backing vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr5 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 A few pages back there is a pic of Duff with the bass he used in '93. It appears he visited the museum today. Is that stikk open btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the reason though. Matt and Axl got together here in New York and mended fences after that interview. They partied together here. I remember Matt talking about it - and being happy that they had put their differences behind them. So, something else must have happened since then.

Popular Post CardinalGunner Posted April 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2016 I don't think its necessarily anything against Matt or Steven that they weren't involved, so much that Frank is the GnR drummer. There was an opening for a guitar player, Slash came back into the band.. There was an opening for a bass player, Duff came back into the band (he had one foot in the door since 2014). Fortus and Frank have both been in the band for a long time. Bringing Slash and Duff back into the band doesn't automatically mean they are going to call up everyone else who used to be in the band and see if they need a job. Just my thoughts. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake up its time to die Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's pointless to make assumptions on why sorum is not involved. He isn't attached to Slash and Duffs hip they've done projects without him before. Unfair to assume it's Axls doing slash and Duff waited a long time and wouldn't just agree to be Axls puppets. It's a 3 man committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's just it. When Slash and Duff entered the picture I'm sure they both didn't feel it was their place to tell Axl to start firing his guys and call up the old ones. Ticket sales thus far have proven that Axl, Slash, and Duff alone can fill stadiums so if they've got a solid, reliable line-up in place then I don't see Slash or Duff having much to complain about. I'm sure Slash gets on with Richard fine and Duff was quite complimentary to all of them so he probably couldn't care less. Sure, it'd be a bonus to have Steven and Izzy around but if the compromise of having Slash and Duff back is keeping Richard and Frank, then I won't complain. Pitman's gone too, so that's a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a year later he was back to talking shit about Axl: "Axl is so jealous of our band," Sorum told Rolling Stone, adding that his encounter with the singer at a New York party ended up being friendly. "Even though he's going out with his GUNS N' ROSES fucking bullshit, he's just fucking jealous and he's trying to tear us down. Fuckin' Slash is out playing rock 'n' roll and he [Axl] don't like it. It's sad." Article is from Blabbermouth, but I can't get links to work on here anymore.
