action Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 fortus is hands down technically the best "second guitar" GNR has ever had. just listen to his co-soloing in chinese deocracy. at times it's almost as if GNR has a two combo lead guitar setting now, like judas priest. that is a good thing. it will challenge Slash, just like he always wanted. this band sounds so much more like a functional unit than each of them have have done for the past 23 years 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an amazing guitarist and he seems like a great guy. Good fit for the band and helps bring the classic rock sound back I hate to be negative about Frank but I find his style and the tuning of his drums difficult to get used to Agree with this. I've never been a nu fan, but I've always liked Richard. He's the one guitar player in that band who never had a shtick. Bucket, Finck, Bumble, DJ, all had some goofy image, where Fortus was just Fortus. And I always liked his tone. Much more Slash-like than anyone else. Just a good reliable musician who played his ass off and never looked for any sort of recognition. If Izzy doesn't want to be a part of this, and Gilby wasn't even a consideration, then Richard is a fine replacement. I think he's a great fit with Slash. Also so agree about Frank. Maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but listening to clips and all I hear is a lot of banging, not drumming. Don't dig his playing at all. Thankfully overall the songs sound great despite his best efforts to ruin them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'm very glad and happy for Fortus that he's doing this tour with Slash, and doesn't have a third wheel hanging around to try and take some of his spotlight again; he's definitely one of the band's most underrated performers It looks like Axl is busy cracking jokes throughout Rocket Queen's middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOSIER GUNZ Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) frank and richard have earned it to be there in my opinion...and if izzy chooses to show up and rock out with them then thats just another level of satisfacion for me.

tajandreas Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Anyone else here think that KOHD guitar duel last night was awesome? Reminded me of some old school Thin Lizzy going back and forth. Slash and Richard are very complimentary of eachother and their chemistry will only get better as the tour goes on! Imagine them on a record together..

slash23579 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Man I was fanboying so hard last night. I looked at some of the videos I took and my arm was shaking like crazy. And the dude behind me got pissed because I wanted to stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw nuguns at the Roskilde Festival in 2006, and I remember there were sooo many breaks, guitar solos, piano solos and whatnot where Axl wasn't around. It ruined momemtum and just dragged down the whole affair. I think at least 30 mins was spent this way. Thankfully this is gone now, judging by the superb Vegas shows. Was going to say the same thing. 3 hour concerts are cool but not when almost half that time is spent having to deal with numerous guitar solos, piano solos and band jams. Ugh, it really destroyed any momentum they would have going and bring down a crowd. Sooo happy that hasn't been happening now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsend Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Richard is an amazing guitarist. He has great passion when playing, he is also a really nice guy to talk to, no airs and graces. We saw him in December with the Daisies and he came out after the show and signed anything we wanted, talked to us and gave us his wristband when he knew we were GnR fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillageGorillaHead Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I was very disappointed in night 1. Few rows from front, sound wasn't great & thought you really lost energy with Axl stuck in the seat. But night 2 was fantastic. Sound was great and had a brilliant time taking it all in. Crazy how much of a difference I felt in both nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
