Paradox Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I used to think Axl was singing "You can take the biggest sofa, but it's more than I can stand" in YCBM. Why, thought my twelve-year-old self, is a hard-assed rocker like Axl Rose so concerned about soft furnishings?SGI still sing it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I used think Buckethead was Slash in disguise. And I still do!!!I have found no evidence that shows me that Bucket isn't Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's armpit Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Funny thread! When I first got into GNR, I just had AFD, but never saw an interview or live show of the guys. So I thought: Ah, Axl is the singer, and he has a very high voice. But on "It's so easy" some other guy with a very deep voice is doing the lead vocals. I looked at the back cover, saw all the band members and thought: "Well, Slash looks like he could have this deep voice, so Slash is singing It's so easy!" When I first heard Axl's speaking voice, I just thought: What the fuck! How can he sing so high and have such a deep speaking voice!I also thought Slash did the vocals for It's So Easy. It just seemed to me that he would have that kind of voice. And I didn't know any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EverythingWasRoses Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Haha great! It's fun to read all of yours!Now I know another one (I was reminded when I read about "Axl singing patience")I always thought Axl was singing 14 years... It was just a couple of weeks ago I learned that it's Izzy i thought that when i first heard 14 years, same with dust n' bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel of music Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 haha it's funny how everyone thought at one point or another that izzy sang it's so easy.. that is one thing that didn't happen to me but i reckon is really commontruth is, it didn't happen to me cuz one of the first things i did when i first started listening to GnR was watch the Tokyo concert, so i pretty much knew who sang what beforehand lol, so i guess i kind of cheated Also, watching a live recording helps you recognise and get used to axl's raw and low voice better, as well as his speaking voicenow that i think about it, i kinda started backwards with this band haha, cuz i watched the live tokyo concert before listening to most of their songs (except the famous ones that i already knew) and i was kinda lost but i loved it anyway!

W. AXL ROSE Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 schoolboy errors!!!oh dear me!on the yesterday video, when the sign that says 'wheres izzy?' comes on, i thought that meant izzy had been kidnapped!!i also thought that izzy had gone on keyboards when it was actually dizzy!I'm sorry I have to tell you but you're still getting things wrong even in this thread. The 'where's Izzy?' sign is in the don't cry video, not in yesterdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 None of them things can be proved. Is he taller cos he's got a bucket on his head? Is he thinner cos he's been hanging upside down in closet for weeks. Didn't Bucket quit GNR and then VR went on tour?I have no idea. If Bucket rejoins GNR and VR Split Up I'll be suscipious again and maybe go back to skool to leanr how to speel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I still cannot tell the difference between Adler and McKagen in pics. And when the Spin article first came out, I got all excited because I thought for sure the time was at hand...even though I should've known from the "14 minute rap/rock song" part...I felt like a fucking retard, cuz I should've known.

DV_007 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'm glad the thread has got so many replies with funny incidents and thoughts! when i saw the 2002 VMA's...I thought Finck and Buckethead was really Slash and Izzy dressed up That one made me laugh. I remember another one from my paper about GnR... I'll here try to "quote-translate" it (I'm from Sweden):"There's not many facts about the new GnR group. I don't even know excactly when they was founded, but I think it was sometime around year 2000. They have changed members now and then, so I won't wrote who's in the band, there are no facts. Axl doesn't sing as good anymore. The members play good but cannot be compared with the older members from original GnR. Especially Slash is unreplaceable. New GnR mostlu plays the old songs, of course, while those are the songs the fans want to hear and be able to see live. Sort of a second chance, for those who couldn't see them live back in the early days. I think they are doing a new record, but there are many rumours about this. New GnR did a popular world tour year 2002. I personally don't think that GnR should ever be brought up again, but the big fans are happy and that's the most important!"Haha I can't believe I wrote like that. I feel ashamed that I love The Blues, Better and IRS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmartin Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) When I made a school work (paper) about GnR when I was about 15 (I'm soon 18 now) I made some embarrasing mistakes! First, I wrote Izzy Reed instead of Dizzy, but that's not the huge thing! I will quote the worst: "Dizzy Reed... But he didn't become very famous so to say, he only did some background sounds mostly." Haha how can I be so rude to Reed. I mean, now, my favourite GnR song is Estranged and the best part of the song (live version) is Dizzy Reed's keyboard solo! I can't believe I was so clumsy back then when I wrote that
