Popular Post Tom2112 Posted September 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2022 30 minutes ago, PatrickS77 said: Well, that was never GNR to beging with. You became a fan of the wrong band. Slash is the original who put GNR on the map. He doesn't need to follow what the fake guys did. He's Slash and he's back in his band. The fakes though have to follow what the original did. That's pretty easy. The "fake guys". Always loved this moronic take. How exactly is Buckethead, Bumblefoot or even Finck a "fake". Did they go into the studio and mimick Slash's style? Did they go on stage with top hats and chaps? Nope. Ashba can be called a fake, BUT he had nothing to do with CD. As far as unreleased material, Slash should do what he thinks is best for the song so if that means throwing out parts then so be it, and if that means keeping guitar tracks from previous line ups then so be it. It doesn't really make total sense to just disregard all the guitar work from these world class guitarists. Slash should of course be the main guitar voice though. As for live and currently released material from CD, Slash should play the solos how they were on the record and if he can't do something then he should adapt around his style similar to how he plays TWAT. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the direction of the "new band" with CD and wish they put out 2 or 3 albums before the reunion. The CD era got me into GN'R. The old stuff is amazing, no doubt, but that was then. GN'R evolved. I respect your opinion, although I strongly disagree with it. Mind you, the status of the "new band" is now formerly new band, and they never were anything else but a bunch of replacement musicians in Axl’s solo version of GN’R. However, I’m glad that era existed and that Axl didn’t retire the whole thing for 20 years. I enjoyed the shows, and there were lots of great times, not a slightest doubt about it. But deep inside, I’d say probably most fans were hoping for the reunion during the entire era. Reunion with the members who created the whole thing in the first place. I do understand there are new generations preferring that Axl’s solo rendition, but that doesn’t change the fact they never were the real GN’R. And the fact NuGNR only managed to release a single album in some 15 years also isn’t completely insignificant. Of course, these days people may bicker to death whether the current reunion is the real GN’R since Izzy isn’t there etc., but that’s a different topic and also an old and tired debate. Anyway, I think the best outcome we could get now would be a new album with the real members ASAP and later some box set with those original CD era demos... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is not unreasonable for someone to be a fan of the band as a result of that material, but I get your point. Nah his take is shit. You were a fan of the wrong band 🤣 what a up your arse thing to say. Pat... You don't have to like it, but gnr existed and was real (not fake) after Slash quit the band. They were also a better love band 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority wants to forget that ever happened and wants new stuff written by actual GNR members. Not some scabs picked up from the side of the road who pretended they were GNR. Dude, it's been 20+ years. Guns N' Roses existed without Slash and those lineups had their own fans. The "scab" shit is so childish and petty. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siraddam Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The real Guns n Roses are Jarmo and DJ Ashba. Those two should write a song together and get the others to play on it. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millions of people probably don't realize Slash isn't on the last GN'R album. If anything, they probably think his playing has improved over the years. Let's compare it to the Star Wars sequel trilogy, episodes 7, 8, and 9. (Disney) Episodes 1-6 were more or less the vision of the Star Wars creator, George Lucas. Disney wiped their asses with George's outlines for the sequel trilogy, and went on and did their own thing, which was a hot mess. Is it Star Wars? Yes, it is. Do I like it? It's OK, but not great, not nearly as great as episodes 1-6. In short, my feelings, your feelings, and the feelings of the fans doesn't dictate what is or isn't GN'R, Star Wars, Mercedes Benz, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the searching on streaming platforms is a baseless conversation until the songs are actually available for listening. Until something comes to fruition, it's a non-starter. "Well, some people in the UK have searches showing GNR associated with [this song]." That's basically all that can be said at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jw224 Posted September 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2022 I really can't believe I'm seeing people describe previous band members as fake as if that's somehow a valid criticism or anything meaningful worth posting at all.

Just a couple of deluded ones, who haven't realized it's over. Kinda like the people waiting for a new GNR album (though they are by far in the majority). They didn't pretend though, they were hired to fill vacant spots left by people who quit the band. If you take over a job that someone else leaves, are you pretending when you say you work there? Don't think you are, I think you just have certain ideas of what GNR is and what it isn't and that's fine, but reality and fiction are not the same. GNR continued, and even I would like to forget certain parts of that but I have to accept that Dj Ashba was a member of GNR, no less or more than Gilby or Teddy zigzag. It is reality. And I didn't say people are checking for the names of Bumblefoot or Buckethead or whoever. I was saying the parts they contributed were probably beneficial to the song... you shouldn't just throw out someones work just for the sake of it. If Slash and Richard can come up with better stuff then sure, replace everything. AND I also said that Slash's guitar should be the prominent piece in the mix, I don't expect Bucket/Bumble solos... I'm on about layers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlashrose Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 It's horrible to expect an album that has songs that were recorded and re-recorded by 4 or 5 different guitarists. But my favorites from the Village sessions are still Oklahoma, Me and My Elvis, Perhaps, Atlas, Zodiac, Quicksong, Mustache and Devious Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That coda is great especially when the guitar is doubled and then when the drums go into double beat. Really great instrumental piece. It's as Guns N' Roses as it gets without Axl's voice and Slash's guitar. Edited September 14, 2022 by SoulMonster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
