Carne_asaDA Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 you know what ? if the old line up was to play together today, they will be like, watching the Todays Rolling Stones on stageavryone will be like, give it up allready pleaseit was fun and hard rock 12 years ago, but now it is 2002there is a harder sound out there now days, that can bit old GNR line up to deathPeople would not say that about the Stones man. The Stones would sell out any STADIUM that you put them in. Plus they put on a helluva show in concert. They may say that about Warrant but not the Rolling Stones. If that was the case, then everyband should get new members as time moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinsFinck Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 It's so hard to do for most of the band, but from what I've so far Brain is the best drummer guns has ever had, way better than steve and matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Buckethead is the best thing ever happened to GNR!Brain is the best drummer they ever had.Who needs Izzy, Matt, Slash, etc.?Nuff said!P.S.: You should really see them LIVE, for those of you who have NOT!

Aeonian Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 For the original ? for this thread, I like the original line-up, but w/ Brain as the drummer. Regarding Richard Fortus; I went and saw the new band a week ago, and thought he (R.F.) was my favorite guitar player out of the 3 they have. He has the best stage presence, and also plays well. He sort of reminds me of Izzy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I know this is not everyones opinion, but I really think that Slash, well, he can play guitar very well, but I think he also had Luck being together with musical intellectuals like Rose, so he could play cool stuff, but other players can play them good as well, or even better, I don't need Slash if I have Buckethead (!) and Robin Finck.For example, Robin Finck plays the wonderful intro to "Sweet child o mine" better than Slash did.Slash never had any good solo Albums, Bucket has got tons of good solo material.Well, so much for now.

rockerman Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Buckethead HAS to play Slashes material...its his contractual job wether he likes it or not but Slash? Slash don't have to play any Buckethead. See as I see it, what you might have here is a Rembrant trying to paint a Salvidor Dali.... both are great respected artists and SHOULD STAY IN THIER OWN BACK YARDS if ya know what I mean......You dont see Slash parading around with a Bucket on his head being afraid of girls....or being so into technique that he loses the blues bassed riffs that so many people are saying is so yesterday... that the spirit and soul and rawness is put aside. At least Slash is human. Richard Fortus rocks. Of all the new crew he seemed the most real deal him and Tommy. THose guys ripped it apart on stage.

Aeonian Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I agree w/ you about Fortus. He seems to be the most "GNR" of the guitar trio. I'm getting the impression that he's the least popular out of them, but I liked him the best. I'm sure someone will pull some #### about who he's worked w/ in the past or some crap like that, but he kicked ### live, and played w/ some serious stage presence and attitude, which is what sold me on him. Buckethead looks cool for a while, but he didn't even play that much live. He seems too much like a side show to me. I know he's an excellent player, but maybe a bit out of his element. I mean, would you really want Y.Malmsteen(I don't know if I spelled it right or not) w/ a mask and bucket as the guitar player for GNR? My point is, technical ability and speed doesn't necessarily equate to a good fit for a band. Maybe he'll grow on me eventually after an album or something, but for now I'd be happy w/ Fortus and Finck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individually, they may not have been able to create this incredible music. you dont get it theres millons of guitarts who can play slash material but but slash made thet material thats why hes so specialExactly. We'll have to wait to hear the new album before we know how successful the new band is at collaborating on songs and creating great music together.

gnrlies Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 For example, Robin Finck plays the wonderful intro to "Sweet child o mine" better than Slash did.GET OUT OF IT!!NO WAY!It doesn't matter your preferences etc, you can have your own opinion, but i dont believe you c an have opinions on the new band becuase we dont even have an album out yet!I mean the album will no doubt countain primiarily axl written mateiral, so the brains aspect doesn't apply to slash any more than it does to any new member.

Ken Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I'm not anti-Slash!! I kinda grew up with his(?) sound in my kids room, but I like Buckethead's music more (well, exept for that techno-trash, that is.) But that has nothing to do with what I said about the intro of SCOM.I heard Robin Finck play the intro to it 3 times (LIVE!), its technically perfect, and I think his guitar sound is better during the intro ??? and, it kinda seems that Finck is more enthusiastic. But i can be wrong about that, whatever.PS: Axl is the Brain. For those of you who don't know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgnr Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 this question is a joke right? There is only one GNR line-up. Well 1.5, I think Adler rocks but I guess he was really too wasted to remain. The new line up is not GNR, maybe some other band, but not GNR. A chicken bucket guy and an N'Synch guy, come on, that should be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chicken bucket guy and an N'Synch guy, come on, that should be illegal.Well, I see we have another newbie who likes to play judge, jury and hangman even before the new band has put out an album. Why not give the new band a chance and - here's a thought - actually listen to the album when it comes out BEFORE you write them off. Just a suggestion. ;Dbtw, if given the choice, I'm sure most of the people here would rather see the old members mend fences and get back together with Axl. But that's not happening -- at least not in the near future -- so get over it. And give the new band a chance. A new GNR with Axl as frontman is better than no GNR.
