CD is better, thanks to Ron's magnificent rhythm playing, BH's crazy shredding and Axl's superior lyrics. All the two songs are based on uninspired cliches though.

Well, if you were a founder of a huge company, but later you lost control and decided to leave the ship, said nasty things about your ex-partner and even sued him, then you just don't go there with your tiny new company to get a few bucks for a few days, for old time's sake. Even if you once had a drink since then. (Axl's case is different - with Duff opening for him, he can celebrate that 'he is the stronger'.)
This situation is a victory itself for Axl, but I'm sure that Duff has hidden plans. Be it getting publicity, taking a dig at Slash, or trying to build a bridge between the two icons. It's not two old buddies meet again and have a great time, believe me.

You know, other people feel the same: they just can't believe that someone in the caliber of Duff McKagan would open for a Guns N' Roses with DJ Ashba, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer or anyone who is not an original member.

Yeah, I think CD is better than both VR albums. Not better than those combined though. Anyway, Rhiad is so weak, it has to go.
#1045 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses OFFICIALLY inducted into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame » 777 weeks ago
he has every right to be there is matt does
i mean slash p much stole all his pre-written riffs for afd ffs!!
Slash stole it?
Maybe the band. I don't think Slash would have wanted to play anything Tracii wrote. BTW Tracii didn't write that much with the band in that 'legendary two months'. The only song he was complaining about not getting credit was Don't Cry. An Axl/Izzy song... Here you go.
Anyway, Tracii shouldn't be inducted. What's next, Rob Gardner? It's a tragedy that Axl turned this band into a Championship Manager type of situation. Even fans are always thinking about selling and singing players.

No. 1986-1988 is the best he ever was. Hasn't been the same since then IMHO.
First time I saw GN'R was in 88 so I can't comment on prior to that, but I'm telling you, in my opinion, 2011 is the best performances I've ever seen from the man in person.
Russ, I know you love Axl, and he's really in the best shape and mood since the classic band broke up, but hey, he's really older. He doesn't move like he used to do, doesn't run as much as he used to, and his voice got much weaker and thinner with the years. He's still a great frontman, a few can match his performance, but the young Axl would have blown this Axl off the stage.
#1047 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Video of Serial Killer Live » 778 weeks ago
I finally found a good live version of serial killer...
Good stuff, awesome solo
Thanks, it's one of my favourite Slash songs, musically it's 10/10 
I always liked Rod Jackson's voice, skilled and extremely powerful, but he's overplaying his role in this version, less would have been more.
Slash..he's great, but comparing this almost flawless production to today's performances, it's surprising how much his playing has improved. It's a tough solo and he was playing it really good, but today his fingers move much faster, like they'd be lighter, and all his stuff is just...tighter. He's in his prime now as a player, for sure.

It's a joke if Motorhead isn't there. I'm not a huge fan, but they really define rock 'n' roll in its every aspect.
#1049 Re: Guns N' Roses » GET WELL SOON RON!!!! » 778 weeks ago
I really hope he'll recover quickly, and sort out the family business with as little pain possible. I always liked the guy's personality and like him as a musician. My favourite player of the post classic line-ups.
#1050 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Made in Stoke 24/7/11 Special Edition [2 CD + DVD]Pre-order » 778 weeks ago
He released on AUDIO ONLY in the US. There is a "Bonus DVD" you can get with the AUDIO CD that only had 5 songs on it. They are only his SOLO songs and SNAKEPIT SONGS... NO GNR SONGS on any DVD in the US. Which is why if you live in the US, you have to buy the IMPORT version from Amazon.uk to get the goods....
So it's the Stoke show, without the GN'R songs.. Kinda sucks and puts not only the reunion dreams, but even the RRHOF handshake wishes in perspective... This 'I don't let you use the songs you wrote' bullshit is not only childish, but very scary. You need to be very, very bitter and mentally ill, to think it's justified.
