Nightcrawler Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 1.Slash 2.Izzy3GilbyI'd love to hear what the new guys can do, maybe one dayi think axl is the key here. he is quality control. when any of these guys write a tune with axl's guidance, it turns into a fucking awesome piece of music. for example- even robin finck (with axl) has written a song that surpasses many snakepit and vr tunes.if you go by solo works, and you have all the guitarists solo albums and side projects albums. it's pretty easy to see (for me at least) that thal's works blow VR, snakepit, LSL, NIN, izzy (solowise) and bucket's out of the water, let alone having songs up there with gnr's greatest (hands, normal, fistulous withers ).if the chemistry is there (and i'm praying it is), the axl and ron combo might just bring some if the best songs of all time.Especially on AFD, everyone just came in and did what they did. Nobody told anyone else what to do. Axl only began rejecting everything after the UYI tour. He didn't offer gudience then either, he just rejected songs.That according to everyone in the band then from Slash to gilby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 wtf "w. axl kev"??Offcourse im just going to see Axl, im going to see Guns N' Roses!!Axl, Dizzy, Robin, Richard, Bumble, Chris, Brain and TommyI know it's a change from my usual 'Completely Pro-New GN'R' tune but when I found out that the band were all being paid per show (except Axl) it kinda put a damper on it for me. It made me kinda think... hmm it is just hired Guns afterall It's difficult to explain what I mean but you know it's like they ain't a natural band... they are just paid to be a band and that sucks man.

bax Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The question is my favorite, not who is technically best, so I have to go with Slash. I still like the new band, but there will always be a cetain sentimental tie I have with Slash-those solos were ingrained into me from age 13 on.

Heineken Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Your kidding,....... right?. . . .I mean, I love the new guitarists, but how can you realistically prefer them to Slash when they haven't actually released their own music, and they continue to play the music that Slash wrote. Not a diss in the slightest, just being objective. . .Out of the new guys, I definitely prefer Robin (I actually prefered Buckethead to all of them. . .)LABETTER WAS WROTE BY ROBIN FINCKYou mean he wrote a song!?! One whole song!!!! But it hasn't actually been released yet, and that still doesn't mean they're not playing Slash's stuff as of now, that was the point being madeAs for the question, Slash, for obvious reasons.gonna have to say that BETTER blows away both slash's snakepit albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 gonna have to say that BETTER blows away both slash's snakepit albumsI disagree, the intro to Good To Be Alive craps all over Better by itself.But thats just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustaine Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 1.Robin2.Izzy3.Richard4 Ron 5.Paul 6.Gilby7.Slash8.BucketUmmm, ok I guess Anyway, my favorite is Slash, then comes Izzy. When Chinese Democracy comes out we might actually have a debate about this. Having said that, I really like Bumblefoot and Fortus too but I'm not shure about Finck (I'll judge after the record comes out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the pro-tools era, every little mistake can easily be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHaze Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I honestly believe that if the best Snakepit material would have made it's way onto the post Illusions GnR record like Slash intended, you lot would be salivating all over it. Much of it is better than VR's material imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of it is better than VR's material imo.Agreed, those albums are very underrated.If Slash actually got a good singer some of the snakepit stuff could have worked It's more in line with what slash is known for than VR's music I guess, it's not better, just has less distance from Guns. Some of VR's record could have woorked wih guns too, I know haters won't ever admit that.Even some of like a dog by Izzy, which was his most GNR like effort would have worked well with VR or GNR.

Axls_Disillusion Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) I am digging Robin/Richards stuff so so so much more than what Slash/Dave are doing right now. All of the leaks, most of the live performances - they all blow that VR nonsense away.and to even mention snakeshit and guns n roses in the same breath Edited September 5, 2006 by Axls_Disillusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
