Mark0FI Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It seems that GnR are using extra guitarists on their gigs. I just found Finnish source for this (http://www.ircquotes.net/?101912, in Finnish). This guy says that he saw guitarists playing behind the curtains during the whole show. He was sitting at the side of the stage. I think they are playing the rhythm parts, so the song keeps rocking and guys on stage can concentrate in flashy moves and solos...But anyway, Axl's voice was perfect and that's what counts for me!So, you fellows, is this very common for bands ? I heard that Rolling Stones might be using them also ?Yeah, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f**k_your_enemy Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 GN'R have 3 guitarists on stage... 4 if you count Pitmans guitar sounds... I don't think they would need someone playing behind a curtain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosEC Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I was on stage during the show in Bilbao... and I only can laugh when I read some thing like this; they have 3 guitar player... even 4 when Izzy is on stage... Do anybody think they could need another guitar player?... Damn it!... if they woul do that they will change their name to Guitars N'Roses lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_0013 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Guitarists hiding behind curtains? WTF? I wanna see a rock show, not The Wizard of Oz.....LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelJ Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 That's bullshit for sure, I think the guy may have seen a roady at the side of the stage tuning the guitars and all, they sometimes play on them as wel, while tuning... I know, 'cause I've been a roady myself...Besides that, you would heard it right? on say like the soundboard of the download fest, my michelle and paradise city? you can clearly hear 3 guitars, and who's playing what... at least I can...So please don't start this crap... nobody needs it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artfromtex Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 it had to be a guitar tech. geez, some people just keep trying to pick nats out of horse shit. ignorance, plain and simple. and before anyone brings it up, the reason why there's no guitar cables going from guitar to amp is because they have, prepare to be shocked, WIRELESS equipment!!! ignorance is the gum on the shoe of life................

Ashlar Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 each guitarist uses multiple guitars during the gig and also alternate tunings so the techs are kept busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisi Rokks Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Never heard of a guitar tech tuning up?Yeah that seems the most logical explanationThe Rolling Stones and Motley Crue have used backing tapes but not extra musiciansAlso, why does everyone use These faces when someone pastes or quotes something bad about Gn'R?

Who knows, it could've been the Guitar Tech for the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
