Popular Post uzi your illusion Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2023 Came across this one on YouTube the other day and keep going back to it You just get that glimpse, even if it was fleeting, at what Axl thought could propel the name and music to the next generation. To look back now and see those two together, it would have really been magnificent to get an alternative universe where the album comes out in 2001 and Rolling Stone has Axl on the cover flanked by these two. 11 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post liers Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2023 I’ve always liked that solo and hoped it would be an actual song. I loved that version of the band, it was a freak show but there was so much talent in that band. The entire rock in rio 2001 concert is a great moment for new guns. There was so much energy, ambition, and hope. Same thing with Boston 2002. It could’ve easily been a massive success had Axl been able to hold things together. It wasn’t classic GnR, but it was the only version of New GnR that I felt like could stand on their own as a band. The lineups that followed felt more and more like cover bands than their own band. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 "Live And Let Die" in Albany, 2002 was the best performance of the song, imo. I love the Los Angeles shows at the Gibson Amphitheater in 2006. Some awesome moments there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of a comedy to see the same exact people who strongly reject or make fun of Nu Guns idea, are getting excited about new singles. Songs that are essentially the works of Robin Finck, Tommy, Buckethead and Brain/Josh. It is very disturbing to hear Slash's half assed solos over these works.

Popular Post Dean Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2023 Sailing, Wembley 2006. Unreal. What a voice. What a band. House of Blues 2001 and Rock In Rio III are by and large my most played Guns shows, which surprises even me given how much I played Rock AM Ring back in the day. Axl really put it all out there vocally. I know the '02 voice is an acquired taste, but the range and power he had, to sing two part harmonies on KOHD himself is testament to how confident he was in his chops at that point. That House of Blues show from 01/01/01, in terms of start to finish, has to be up there with one of the most flawless vocal performances he's ever done. The small stage obviously plays it's part, but it's essentially studio quality vox for the duration. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOHD from Rock Am Ring was another great one, it's flawless and I've played it for plenty of friends/co-workers over the years. After that I'd say pretty much the whole period from Asia 2009 - South America 2010 was their peak, but those 2001 shows are really special too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost un the jungle Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 HOB 2001 Rio 2001 Hammerstein 2006 Osaka 2009 Maybe if we get some proshot of those years we can evaluate other performances. Overall, I think what made them suck or being good during the years was if Axl was 100% or half ass singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see, most of those people would prefer the band to shelve the leftovers and write new material with legends like Slash and Duff on board. Nu Guns were never going to be massive.

Cosmo Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 1 hour ago, jacdaniel said: Nu Guns were never going to be massive. Past idk, maybe 2006 or 2008, absolutely no incarnation of GnR would have been "massive". The biggest thing that could've happened is a huge reunion tour but no new material would've "taken over the world", no matter the quality. At that point they would have already been seen as a nostalgia act, much like other veteran bands like Metallica, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, etc... 1 hour ago, jacdaniel said: They just didn't have the songs. I know I'm in the minority here but IMO, TWAT is one of GnR's greatest artistic works, maybe tied with Estranged or SCOM. CITR and Prostitute are also amazing songs in the quality of their best material. And, IMO, it's by far the best thing to have come out any ex-GnR member related material since UYI. Plus, I'm pretty sure the reason for rock bands not being huge nowadays is not the quality of the music itself but the fact they are rock bands, and rock music is not what sells and therefore receives less media coverage, less investment, less airplay, etc... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
