It's only when shit hits the fan (Reading, Twitter) that certain forummembers comes out and does their predictable bashing... You know, like normal fans do!!
At least that seems to be the case on this site.
I think it's the same on other sites as well. Seems to be less action over on HTGTH. It's true, when there's no drama it's less "fun" to talk about. But I'll gladly take it. Great performances, zero drama. Sounds like a winning formula to me.
The activity on HTGTH is pretty ok! Lots of reviews, audio, pics and videos from the shows.
But it's kinda wierd that bad shows and stupid behaviour from band members means lots of activity from certain boardmembers.
You'd expect that from the media, but from diehard fans...
It's the same with any other part of the board. Look at the Slash topics... good news don't interest anyone.
It's funny though that for the first time in months, we experienced the no news shock in the GN'R section, cause now no shit had happened in 2 days (or even more). A new record for Axl.

Needs more 2010 Axl
Jesus it's so funny and ironic... Myles sounds just like 2002 Axl.
This.
The band was great though.

The saddest thing is that a decade later Axl wanted to censor himself and leave off the song the rereleases. I couldn't understand that.

Yesterday's show got pretty great reviews @ the Hungarian GN'R Fan site. The band was on fire, and Axl was in great spirits. Highlights were CD, WLR and the old songs, according to the guys who were there.

Slash: Velvet Revolver Auditioning New Singers
http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/N … lver-0917/
Solo star, former member of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has revealed his band will be holding auditions for a new frontman this October, via an Artisan News Service video. He also confirmed that the new singer will not be Myles Kennedy, who has been performing singing duties on Slash’s solo tour (and is also a member of Alter Bridge).
"Velvet Revolver will be a 24-hour-a-day project and Kennedy is still committed to Alter Bridge,” Slash recently told BostonHerald.com. “I don’t want to be the guy responsible for breaking up a band. But we’ll find someone. Maybe not somebody known, but some kind of local hero.”
Slash said that before Velvet Revolver launched with Scott Weiland as the singer, drummer Matt Sorum had nominated Kennedy for the role. Later, after Weiland parted ways with the rest of the band, Kennedy was approached but had to decline because of his other band, “which is very commendable, all things considered,” Slash said.
The Chapeaued Shredder continued to sing Kennedy’s praises.
“I’m having a really great time with Myles and it’s reconstituted my faith in lead singers,” he said. “Making my solo album, I worked with 18 singers who were all fantastic, so I’m not as bitter about the concept of lead singers as I once was.”

I agreed with a lot of he said (not the clothing stuff though), but one thing is sure: Niven will never ever get the chance to work for Axl Rose again.

I think we all can agree that AFD sounds dated because of the production. There was a huge step production wise in the late 80s-early 90s that makes all the previous '80s stuff sound a bit 'dated'. I love AFD, it's the best album ever for me, but with today's technique, it'd be even better, cause the production would avoid the too messy guitar sound, the bit 80s bass sound, the already pointed-out drum sound and Axl's sometimes too high vocals. With everything said it's the best album ever, but the production is not 90s or 00s quality.

Linda Perry would be my female choice. I mean as a singer.

That's why, as much as I'd love to see VR get back together, I think it might be a good idea to stick with this group of guys and see what they could create together. Of course, Myles commitment to Alter Bridge may (pardon the pun) alter that. It just seems they've got a great thing going here, and it's being well received. No offense, but there's a huge amount of uncertainty in returning to VR.
Yeah, I agree, and I think that a real band can make a better record than 'Slash', cause that was too much of a solo effort, the drums and bass themes were awfully uninspired, just something to back the guitars. A real band would do better, although I'd want Jason Bonham on drums, he's great.
