They made music, not sex tapes... Well said. 33 minutes ago, Natty said: Steven and izzy remained as they were. especially izzy. They still would love to have GNR back as it was. not the bloated band with 2 keyboarders. That’s exactly why we haven't had the chance to see the originals together again, not even once. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc_gunner Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just now, Sosso said: You have to keep to mind that they could add any sound you want. Additional guitar and bass lines, drums, sound effects, orchestras, etc. It's just a matter of how you use them. Yes I understand keyboards can do all of that. My point is I don't need to hear sound effects or orchestras in my hard rock music selections. As far as guitars, bass lines, and drums being synthesized... Why the hell do that when you already have a guitar player, bass player, and drummer? I have never purchased or listened to the Chemical Brothers, and damn sure don't want to hear that nonsense in my hard rock music listening enjoyment. Much less G'n'R music. Maybe you do, but I have no need for it. Hence answering your question of what's wrong with 2 keyboardists. ..Also the above may read like I am arguing (or appears I think you are), but I am not and I know you are not either. Just fully explaining my opinion on the question posed.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has that honky tonk swing to his playing that a southerner like myself can get behind. However that's what Axl is there for on piano so I really see no need for him either. As far as synth/sampler is concerned... complete garbage in hard rock music and especially Guns'n'fn'Roses! EDIT: This is also no knock on Melissa in case you millennial's want to jump on here claiming me as a sexist. I think she is sweet, and just doing the job Axl asks of her. Just see no need for synths, but totally find it sacrilegious to even have it in G'n'R. Same as when Pittman was in the band. Although full disclosure... I wasn't paying much attention during the Pittman era so much of what Guns did then went unnoticed by myself as well as other older Guns fans not on forums.

My fellow gunners and myself use to fuss about it being there in 87 as well. Just unnecessary for my tastes. Do you know that the rest of the album is a kick ass hard rock album without it? Like I said in previous post. What can I do about it? Nothing...not my band... At any rate... Sorry to high jack the thread @RussTCB. The back and forth discussion between members that have nothing to do with the thread really annoys the shit out of me so I'm done.

I don't doubt Adler's ability to play the songs, I just think he'd add his own touch for sure. i am pretty sure steven would rearrange the drums and play them his way, a.k.a. "the GNR way"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I listened to the Adler interview first and just listened to the first half of the podcast - just wanted to say that it is a very cool listen! Great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Bone Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I finally had time to listen to the whole interview without being interrupted during the first few minutes and there's not much I can add to what others already mentioned. It was refreshing to listen to people who actually like CD. Anything more to say? Nah, don't think so. Then see some boobies, I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the feel player, Matt was the thumper. Frank is a bit of both. He can do all the material and doesn't call CD a solo record, that's big.

Like I said in the interview, people are always looking at us like we're crazy and most people thing we're joking when we say it. But of course, I always ask "What didn't you like about it" and always find out they didn't actually bother listening to the album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it's probably just that most of them are disappointed because it's fucking Guns N' Roses and they expected something different. But if you don't like something, don't like it, doesn't matter to me. Just don't talk shit about it without ever having listened to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
