DieselDaisy Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just now, Wagszilla said: It's preferring the scanty hope of creative relevance over the certainty of commercialization. Irrespective of the reunion, Guns N' Roses has been trading heavily on nostalgia since the very beginning of nugnr (e.g. extremely Appetite heavy setlists), and has been solely a nostalgia act since about 2011. The only difference is, the reunion at least has the common decency to have two more of the correct nostalgic personae present rather than a bunch of cover players. I dislike both nugnr and the faux reunion but if you want cash obsessed Vegas nostalgia, you may as well see the three originals perform it rather than DJ Ashba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be 100x better if Izzy could actually play the guitar onstage. Because he can't. His amps were turned down in 1991 during the UYI Tour : he just can't play.

Rovim Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Izzy has enough technical ability on the instrument to fully express his musical ideas. As far as technique go, it's like Steven: it's enough, there's a ton of feel, and they were always the best for Guns. It's not about being the best in general, it's being the best for Gn'R. Ginger Baker said: "it's not how fast you play, it's what you say". He said it perfectly and still does in his solo work.

If you take his songs out you basically have CD type material. There's a couple of Slash epics and Duff songs but it's comparable which you can use. Dead Horse - Chi dem Shotgun Blues/locomotive - Shacklers Live n Let Die - Better Yesterdays - SOD Heavens Door - If the World Breakdown - There was a Time Estranged - Catcher Garden of Eden - Scraped Get in the Ring - Riad So Fine - Sorry The garden - IRS Civil War - Madagascar November Rain - This I Love Coma - Prostitute without the Izzy material it's a similar spread of material.

I may be mis-understanding you, but in no way are the non-Izzy songs on UYI comparable to CD, they are (for the most part), infinitely better tunes. There is no comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
