f**k_your_enemy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Dude it is not Zakk Wylde.He is working on the new BLS and Ozzy albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Guns Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yes...bringing back any old member would just cause more confusion and jesus I could never see Axl saying "Well Robin, thanks for your YEARS of hardwork, but Slash is going to come back for awhile." fuck that...would be a total lack of respect to this new band. So I agreeFinck already left GNR back in the '90s. Axl didn't forget that...livin in a fantasy world indeed sir...looking for any excuse...won't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Axl Kev Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Have you read this thread? http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/i...p?topic=29440.0Quote #3The one with the Diezel and Marshall heads sounds like Richard Fortus. Interestingly, there is no other mention of mention of Marshall, which Robin Finck uses for both amps and cabinets.Here is what intrigues me most. According to the HTGTH former members section Izzy Stradlin' uses both Fender Bassman amp and Mesa/Boogie cabinet. Steve Winstead was the guitar tech for Rick Richards and possibly Izzy in the Ju Ju Hounds. He also has backing vocals credits on some of their albums. Now look at the info for the first guitarist on stage left above.Like I said I'm not totally sure Steve Winstead is Izzy's guitar tech but he's definately worked with the Ju Ju Hounds. That along with the fact Izzy's amp and cabinet match the details above and that the original poster said Dizzy's guitar tech [which sounds like it could mean Izzy's guitar tech, could be a mistake or a cover up so the secret doesn't get out] will be present, and he was always on the left side of the stage and then Izzy's recent party with Axl and this is definately getting interesting.Oh and not only does John 5 use that specific laney amp but robert long is his guitar tech as well:http://ca.geocities.com/seikokumano2000/gear/laney.htmIf all this is info is real we could be looking at Richard Fortus, Tommy Stinson, John 5 and Izzy Stradlin'.Hold on a second whilst I try to grab this. Is this suggesting that Robin Finck is no longer in Guns N' Roses? That would be crazy were it true. John 5 is a fuckin' brilliant guitarist but isn't he already committed to Rob Zombie or something?

brizobst Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Brian May mentions the radio appearance on his website:http://www.brianmay.com/brian/briannews/briannews.htmlSeems awfully peripheral for a non-gnr member doesn't it?Also, the two users on this thread who seem to know who the guitarist haven't shot down the guess yet, so I'm liking Brian May right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Niveen Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 It's only a temporary job imo. So, it could be Brian May. Or Joe Perry (as someone else said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmith Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 agreed it has to be someone famous or would stupid to keep it a secretHe kept Richard Fortus a secret. Don't think he even announced him before the overseas tour started, Fortus just showed up on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJaffAttack Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 It absolutely has to be Izzy. If it wasn't, Axl wouldn't keep it a suprise. Anyone else but Izzy, except for Slash of course, would be a let down. Who is a big enough guitar player who fans will actually really care about? Maybe Zakk Wyld. But I'm pretty sure he hates Axl. Maybe Dave Navarro- but he's friends with VR. Can't wait to see Izzy tonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poepsnoet Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I hope it'll be Slash or Izzy. Pretty unlikely though. But we'll find out in 11 hours or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
