JAxlMorrison Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 What if by someone weird twist if fate, a new band was formed by some combo of the following guys, they found a really good singer, and put out a record of all original tunes…would you be interested? To me, sometimes I think about it, and I’m like, a lot of these guys spent years working together in different groupings…why wouldn’t they try to get something together? I’d imagine there’s definitely a segment of the GNR hardcore fan base who would find that interesting… Lead Guitar: Bucket or Bumble Guitar: Finck or Ashba bass: Tommy Stinson keys: Chris Pitman Drums: Freese or Brain 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 In essence that's what Velvet Revolver was and they didn't have the success they did previously. I don't see why it would be any different here. But would depend on vocals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised it hasn’t come up among any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I’d be into it because I really dig Chinese Tommy, Freese/Brain, Robin, Bucket… sign me up Would never happen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 With the right singer, it would be killer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dean Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2022 Given the caliber of those players, I’d definitely be into it, so long as there was no DJ Ashba. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Me too. Just leave Ashba out of this. Frankly, anything Robin creates is interesting to me. Adding Bucket, Tommy and Josh Freese would actually be perfect (I love the instrumental demos). 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy and bucket too…so I think Thal would be the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayfox Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 That’s what they need to do. Give the Velvet Revolver name to former GNR members. License it out so the brands doing something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Axl's input, they actually appeared together in the Ghost of Mars soundtrack. It may have happened by Axl's request, but that was before Robin came back from NIN in 2000 as far as I remember. 1 minute ago, Dean said: To be fair, Bumble had a hard time with other band members aswell.

I think the problem with Ron is that the band had rehearsed without him and had their own mindset for a two guitars lineup. Even facing a lot of shit about how he looked and/or how he sounded, Ron still managed to get a lot of empathy from the fans, and I bet that also hit the nerves with some guys. But Robin wasn't really affected, I guess, and Ron even got to watch him perform with NIN after he left. On the other hand, Richard was the one who would inherit Bucket's parts, as he ultimately did with some songs when Slash rejoined. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doakes Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thought about this before… Those Robin/ Tommy Village demos are great! Seems they found chemistry in an inorganic situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 On a side note, if we get CD II I'm hoping a talented fan like Evader can take Axl's vocals from tracks like Oklahoma and Soul Monster and put them on top of the Oklahoma and Elvis instrumentals. It might be the closest we ever get to hearing them how they were intended to be heard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people would do that anyways, but now I'm looking forward to have it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of a GNR Member being violent, I read that Axl was being stubborn and didn't want to get out of his dressing room one day and Matt threatened to knock Axl out if he didn't get out of that dressing room. Axl ran out of that dressing room, so that Matt wouldn't knock him out! I don't know whether I should laugh 🤣 or be shocked! 😱 Edited October 14, 2022 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaghetti4twenty Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) I’d be interested Tommy Stinson on bass/vitals backed by Brain, Richard, Robin, Dizzy/Pitman they could’ve been the best Nu-Metal band 😂 Edited October 14, 2022 by Spaghetti4twenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 It kinda sucks that Robin and Bucket are not involved in some kind of cool rock band. Anything with Ashba is a no go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebagn'r Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Vocals: Sebastian Bach Guitars: Bucket/ Finck Bass: Tommy Keys: Pitman Drums: Brain My dream team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We love Axl Rose Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Bucket/Finck/Bumble on gutiar would be nice, but having 3 guitarists in a band is probably too much. So Bucket/Finck with Tommy, Pitman and Brain would be great lineup (Josh is great drummer but i prefer Bucket/Brain combo).

New guy hazing that lasted years.😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) I'm gonna cheat a bit by using older members but. Drums freeze Bass Tommy Guitar Traci Lead Bucket Keys and Harmonica Teddy Zigzag Vocals Phil Lewis No idea what they would be called though LADamocracy or something Edited October 15, 2022 by Shacklermyrye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost un the jungle Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 The main bone on this could only be Josh + Tommy + Robin. The other day I listened to Scott Stapp, he sounded great! maybe some guy like him could be a singer for this "band" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanf23 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Do artists have to get permission to cover a song if they give credit to the original artist? how funny if this band recorded CD2 and put it out with a different singer but still giving credit to the original lineup (themselves + Axl) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
