Gallagher Rose Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) Well,I think the band now is fantastic,but there are some things that I really dislike or hate..-Too many solos,it's boring sometimes for the crowd-No UYI stuff played live..only 2 or 3 songs from a double album full of epics-Bumble's guitar with that foot -Axl ruined IRS live-This new KOHD version is crap,I prefer the old one..it was glorious in the past.Talk about the negative things in the new band,because nothing is perfect..probably some band members read this forum and they will know our opinions about it.

Old School Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 The biggest thing: Axl not playing new songs we have never heard and talking about Chinese Democracy! What the fuck!!!!!!????? The fact he's not mentioning the "forthcoming album" has me worried! Talk about it you fucking asshole!!!!!!!! Ok, so I have had too much to drink. Introduce a new fucking song or talk about the excitement of the new album!!! WTF?The "Beautiful" solo is lame, ditch the fucker!!!How about Axl throw on a bandana once in a while, is that too much to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Studham Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 k the things I hate-NEW BAND BASHERS- it gets old very very fast....If you like guns so much either support them, or go support velvet revolver, enough of this slash is guns axl is the rose shit, Axl, Robin, Ron, Tommy, Richard, Dizzy, main part of the new band.The point being- You can still like the old band, but if you're living in the past dont drag us back with you (the ones who acctually accept guns is guns vr is vr), stop the bashing, this lineup has great chemistry, great music LISTEN TO AXL HE SOUNDS GREAT, LISTEN TO THE GUITARS, BASS, PIANO, DRUMS ITS ALL GREAT. Love the old music, huuuuuge fan of the old members, HUUUge fan of the new lineup, but get your head out of the 80's/90's or stop wasting your time bashing the new guys ahh most of em arnt even new guys anymore!!

teknophyle83 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I really am a big fan of the "new" GNR lineup. I would like to hear some more new material and some more UYI material. I love the Finck/Fortus duet, but I can do without more than one piano solo, without the drum solo, and without Finck's solo. I thought it was all great while I was watching the show via the AOL stream (what I could hear of it, anyway), but the more I go back and listen to that stuff, the more I find myself skipping through the solos.Also...I would really like it if Brain would do the You Could Be Mine opening more like it was on the album. I know the guy has to be capable of it, I've heard him do some incredible stuff.Other than that...I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOSIER GUNZ Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'd like to see our Red Capt. put on a bandanna at least for on or two songs. That would be cool and a little nostalgic. I'd like to hear Civil War played again at least once. Or even Look At Your Game Girl would be cool and unexpected. I can see where some of you fans are basically saying that the set list is getting a little stale. Try to remember though that your probably not gonna get very many more opportunities to hear these classic tracks ever again. Axl has shown us that he is moving on with his musical style and I think you can expect to hear far less of the mostly AFD material in the not so far away future. Enjoy it while you can.

I know the guy has to be capable of it, I've heard him do some incredible stuff.Other than that...I'm happy.Thats the thing tough, and so many seem to forget, GNR always featured solos as far back to the first GNR show I was ever at at Sundance on LI in 1987, its part of what GNR are, and it was that that then where they went and whre they are goin, as you said you skipp past them now(the solos, ever think that people aspiring to become musicians, and grow up tp acopmplish that dream may appreciate having that as a tool, but aside from that, Ive seen the band now 17 times from old to new, and when you are there live its a whole other vibe, ist amazing expierence. For those who only give a shit about tunes, take a piss break, or go buy another drink, while solos are goin, gives you time to rejuvinate and the band to come back and kick your ass. ! Thats how it always been And frankly its not gonna stop!And all those bitching about oh illusion this and that, or they havent played a new tune, BS, we already have half the album, chill enjoy the success GNR has been building again, you may be crying a differnt tune in a few mnths when they arent playing those tunes you loved so dear! YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS< the band are trying to give it all, and I suspect it will live on in a offical DVD, but after that GNR are gonna blaze thier own new path. Remember that!

EccoTides Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Matt's solos were far, far worse than any of the new GNR ones. Anyway, this thread is really unnecessary - "Fans" stop in every now and again to make threads dedicated to how much they miss the old lineup and put down the new one, so there's no point in yet another one.

Fact.Just stop paying attention.I know. It pisses me off too. But answering to all of them will not change anything.I like the old band better than the new one. But I'm sick of those posts, like Alan Niveen's or Othafa's. But your replies are also annoying.Just stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) IRS isn't all I hoped it to be live. I LOVE the leak, but live it seems kinda boring. I hope when I see them live (4 times! ) it will sound better.OH! And I don't like the new slow version of KOHD, and never had. I love the old one too much.I have others, but I don't want to be too negative about them, I'm just kinda happy they're back and I get to see Axl live now Edited June 3, 2006 by Slash's Appetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar_legend Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Come on guys, some of you are missing the point of this thread.Some of you guys are too quick to bring up the "Old GNR vs. New GNR" argument whenever something negative is said about the band.Looks like some of you are always looking for a fight.Guess what? It gets old.I'd hate to see this thread die a premature death just because some of you can't handle anybody criticizing the band.Can't we just post some qualms we may have of the band without bringing up Old GNR?Why don't we try that for a change?Some criticisms I have of the band:- Too many AFD era songs. If they're only going to be playing a handful of new GNR songs, they might as well mix it up a bit. Granted those songs are classics; it wouldn't hurt to see how they are able to perform the other songs such as those from the UYI era which are quite different from the AFD era.- Play the old songs more like they did with Patience. I don't know who was playing the Patience solo at RIR, but I was really impressed by their personal take on the song.- No Silkworms. Seriously, what the fuck?! I’d have thought they'd have enough time to chink out the problems within song. Fix the gaps or get rid of some of the unnecessary synths etc. and play it more as a guitar based song.- I'd also like if Axl could perhaps talk more about the band and what's been going on since last time they toured, how CD is coming along, etc. in-between songs.I have other criticisms but they don't fall within this thread.
