Didn't he play bass on Right Next Door To Hell? I know he is credited with a six-string bass in one of the Illusions track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking yesterday about famous musicians who can't read music. None of the Beatles could, Elvis didn't, Hendrix, Clapton. I'm pretty sure Axl has mentioned he can but I'm not sure about any of the other guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Slash has said that he can't and he plays by ear. I guess Axl can because of the piano lessons he took as a kid - he had mentioned that he used to practice on piano sheet music.

But I would think Dizzy and Melissa Reese can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchisback Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 My loked and loaded box set came today. Man this thing is absolutely beautiful. The box itself with the cross is even nicer than I imagined. I'm happy to have all the vinyl. I will never touch most of the stuff in the box but it's neat to look at. Some of it will get hung up too. Overall I'm happy to have this. I think it's a great collection, and a beautiful box, and I'm proud to own something so awesome from my favorite band. But man how did they charge 1k for this? Lol. 300 would have been the sweet spot I think, especially with 10,000 being made. I wonder how many of this thing they sold? I got #03770. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy with mine too, especially with the deal I got with the turntable included. Having said that, yeah, $300 - $500 is what it really should have been priced at to begin with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lame ass security Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) I just watched the old vid of Axl singing Sailing live. Damn, it was incredible, gave me goosebumps. It was with Nu Guns, does anyone know when and where that show was from? Edit: pretty sure it's Wembley 2006.

Ah Nashville musicians are a different breed for sure! They use an interesting way of notating music on charts where they use a number system - writing down the chord function in relation to its key as opposed to the chord name. So instead of the traditional chord chart where the literal chord like E minor, for example would be written, the Nashville system would write its function such as 6-, and since the key of the song would be given to the readers, they could easily decipher the 6- as E minor in the key of G - just as an example I have much more experience reading down traditional charts however those Nashville musicians really have a cool thing going on over there! Their system was definitely curated for high turnaround in recording. Easy to read and easy to play any chart in any key Edited May 6, 2020 by WhazUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
