A nice end to the story This is how to get an invitation to a Guns N' Roses show. Fortus already responded. 32 minutes ago, WhazUp said: Ah the whole "I am making a video of myself talking so you know it is genuine even though I could have just typed things like I did in all the messages regarding this issue previously" thing I respect the dude's guitar playing but this is more cringeworhy than seeing the Puddle of Mudd guy try and cover a Nirvana song Oh, well.

Haha comparing Brian who wrote and sang on one of the highest selling, and greatest, rock albums of all time to Richard Fortus, a jobbing sideman who is only the fourth best guitarist on the one GNR album he played on from 2008.

Cosmo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 24 minutes ago, El Guapo said: Oh, come on! XD Is Brian Johnson the new guy in AC/DC for you as well? Dude... please. Brian Johson gave new life to a band that had just lost it's frontman. He recorded one of the best selling albums of all time, and then went on to have more albums recorded with AC/DC than Bon Scott. Richard Fortus is the replacement of a replacement in a band that has released a single album in more than two decades. An album in which he's not a part of, he did not compose a single track of and that was not a high-selling critical success. Richard would be more like Stevie Young or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don't really want to compare Brian Johnson to Richard Fortus, do you?? The Brian Johnson who sings on the biggest selling AC/DC album. And yet, to some die hards even Brian Johnson is just the replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard played in much more tours than Slash. The fact that Band didnt released a track is not Richard fault. Or you blame Slash and Duff for releasing songs that were written and recorded 20 years ago? If you think Fortus is a replacement for GNR, Brian is a replacement for Ac/Dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's not his fault". And? Still did nothing. Facts are facts. No one cares about Richard. People that go to GnR concerts often don't know his name. Brian changed AC/DC forever and because a signature part of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my taste Bon Scott was way better. Of course Richard is a replacement in Guns. He's a hired hand like Frank, Dizzy, Mel and a lot of guitarists before him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DTJ80 Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 I can’t quite wrap my head around why so many seem to have an issue with Richard on here. Seems a solid dude who has paid his dues with the band for around 20 years and as a player is extremely accomplished and versatile. He was absolutely on the money in calling out NB yet folk reckon he should STFU? Why should he exactly - he is literally the best placed person on the planet to make the comment he did bearing in mind his history. I just can’t understand why anyone thinks he is in the wrong here or has an issue with him generally? Yes - he is not Izzy…but no-one is so what can you do? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking for myself I don’t have an issue with him. He’s just a hired hand and tows the line. I would feel differently about him and my guess is others would too if this band had been releasing albums worth of material that Richard helped write over the last 20 years but that’s not the case. He is an excellent session musician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an excellent session musician. Which is a balanced and fair take. But others really speak down on him and I can’t see exactly why they would have reason to other than being pissed that he is taking Izzy’s place. He doesn’t rock the boat, compliments the band well and is extremely versatile (particularly on the CD stuff). Of course the songwriter part is fair enough although for all we know he HAS contributed stuff….we just haven’t bloody heard it yet! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
