Patience 4 Axl Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 If Chinese Democracy is released 2007 might belong to GUNS N' ROSESNot just their frontman, who, by the way, may just be one of the least talented members in his band.The LEAST talented? Seriously? Even I have to question that statement. His abilities to write lyrics alone is what sets him apart fom so many other arists, ESPECIALLY the ones he now shares the stage with. And though he isn't the virtuoso on keyboards like Pitman, he can still play piano. Also, the charisma he exudes while performing and the ability to hold the attention of thousands of people is indeed a talent that not everyone is blessed to have.I think Fortus, Pitman, Ron, and Brain are better musicians than Axl Rose.That's different than saying he has the least talent. I could say Finck is most likely a better guitar player than Axl, yet I would never say he has more talent than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's a great frontman, but a poor musician compared to those I mentioned.Anyway, no point arguing with you, you will never accept the new band.

The singer, the pianist, the guitarist, the songwriter, the frontman, the LEGEND Axl Rose But Axl wastes so much time, not only with the record, but onstage, and 2006 really was his chance to make it big, what with the tour, press coverage, advertisements, increasing number of fans, the greatest hits reentering the charts, i could go on forever. I cant help but think maybe Axl should just kick a few people up the arse and get this god damn record out, as its been too long, way too long.But I still love Gnr.

That's a pretty lame way to try and get out of a discussion, which this is by the way, not an argument. Of course most of the other members in the band have more talent playing their particular instrument. My friend who plays guitar, bass and drums has more musical talent than Axl as well. All you needed to do was clarify your initial statement. Otherwise you're just comparing apples to oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's too good on guitar, I think he's a decent songwriter, but not great. As a singer he's better than the rest, but that's it. On the other hand, Steven Tyler for example, is at least as talented as Joe Perry and the rest of Aerosmith.

CDNGNR Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 It almost goes without saying that the other band members are better musicians (which is very different from the inital statement), just like it goes without saying that Axl is a better vocalist than the rest of the band. That is why they are all doing what they are doing for the most part.Looking at the initial statement, I would have to strongly disagree that Axl is one of the least talented - in my opinion of course. Measuring vocalist/writing/frontman talent against instrumental talent is, as mentioned, like comparing apples and oranges though. Axl can write and sing with the best of them IMO, his musical talent in playing guitar and piano is just an added bonus from time to time - how many of the other members can get by singing (well) or fronting a band the odd time? They are all excellent at what they do and that is really all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDNGNR Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) We are all agreeing on the subject. Your intended first comment was just a little non-specific, which raised some question, that's all. With what you have clarified your comment to intend, it is a pretty common sense statement really. Like I say, this is why they are all doing what they are doing. Edited December 29, 2006 by CDNGNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Don't ever say that Mr Foot Guitar is more talented than Axl fucking Rose. A great frontman like Axl Rose is far more rare than a great guitar player, bassist, keyboardist, or drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
