oldnews Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Didn't Axl drive over the only copy of 'Legend of the Red Panda' because he was angry with Ashba for giving the title away ? (then kicked Ashba out of the band) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefinitelyInThisLifetime Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I think at the moment, even Ashba is missed. Dude looked like an emo Mickey Rourke with a guitar but at least having him and bumblefoot both playing had some quirkiness. It’s a shame the locker leaks weren’t in 2010. At least Ron would have snuck in the odd glimpse of the songs cheekily like with Estranged and Don’t Cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I'm still trying to scrub his Demented™ presence in the band from my brain, six years later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the man looked like any fucker you’d want to punch out in a bizarre Criss Angel mindfuck kind of way, but at least it was something....at least we had something to discuss when he butchers solos. Now it’s.....oh they play the same shit over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 From a technical standpoint, isn't 4tus better than Slash? If I recall correctly, he plays some of the Bucket stuff from CD in more recent live performances. My dream lineup is the 2002 lineup. It's too bad they didn't release a double album.

alangarcianr Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Ashba is a nice guy. Met him at a sixx am concert and he was nice to the fans. Funny thing that the first person in the line for the m&g and the concert was that Asian lady who follows GNR everywhere. She was nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djones1225 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Off topic, but before Bring it Back Home starts on rumbo tapes you get a weird mix of Just Another Sunday too & before JAS, it has a few seconds of the unreleased Arkeen / Axl song Sunny Lovers Day.

Yeah! I’ve met BBF too and he was very nice. He came to Argentina to give a master class and then he played a show. It was nice to hear the Catcher solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musically Bumblefoot, Stinson, Brain, Frank and Buckethead never fit into this band. And there was always an image problem. The look of Goth Finck 2002, Horror Wierdo Buckethead, Emo Ashba, Hip Hop / Limp Bizkit Brian was just not GnR. People went nuts when Metallica just cut their hair. A big brand like GnR with completely new members and different looks was a horrible decision by Axl. The only guitarist who could have replaced Slash 1:1 in GnR was Brian May. Period. I Agree, Brain May was amazing guy with Axl, But Axl never went with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 in other news, Run The Jewels new album is amazing and they released it 2 days early because of whats going on in the world and for FREE they also made $75,000 in $1 donations in a couple of hours.. I have a feeling there album is going to be in the charts... thats how you do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendador Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Well! If Guns N' Roses can tour without a new album in 91, 2002, 2006, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, I don't see why they can't release an album without a tour. Also remember that they toured Chinese Democracy in 2010, 2 years after the album was released. If they released Lies without a tour, The Spaghetti Incident without a tour, Live Era without a tour, I don't get it. If they released Chinese Democracy without any promotion I don't see why not release an album with tons of promotion now. Anyway, at least the UYI 30th Anniversary boxset could be something. But no... It's a hard knock life being a GNR fan. Edited June 4, 2020 by Legendador 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have worked for a handful of songs like all the ballads, but can anyone imagine Brian May ripping through It's so easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't fit at all Yeah I can hear them together, Queen obviously had a lot of hard rock / metal songs and he can obviously write in that style, but yeah! of course a great musician (one of my favourites) but wouldn't pop into my mind as a replacement for Slash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
