#1511 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash and Uli Jon Roth - Little Wing » 846 weeks ago
One thing I noticed is that Slash's playing was very cautios in the first minutes, like he wouldn't have been very familiar with Little Wing. Later he resonated quite well with the song though.
Do you guys know the Skid Row cover? I love their version, too. (I dare to say I prefer it over the original 
)

This amazing performance gets 1 reply, asking if it is worth watching, yet the dumbass saga's another fuck-up gets 24 pages, with at least 5 of those consisting really pointless, 'who is the dumber, you or me'-type post coitus debate. Such a shame 
Thanks Smoking for posting this. At least somebody's more interested in the music than the soap opera. 
Long live

Axl made his own bed. Maybe he is innocent this time (maybe...), but his history and the lot of lies alienated even his last hardcore fans, like Russ and Olorin, and all he's got now is MisterID and DCK. It's not a personal attack against you at all.

well, I mean giving GNR benefit of the doubt, why not come onstage and explain the technical difficulty? Fans would've been understanding i am sure.
Yeah, why not? Have some guy just get on stage and explain it's not his fault. Damage control.
Some people here though, I gotta laugh. While I get targeted for drinking too much Axl kool aid, others are simply addressing Axl on EVERYTHING that's going on. Like some secret conspiracy shit going down behind everyones eyes and ears. If I didn't know better, I would think this was an episode of fucking X-Files season 1. Just replace the word "UFO" and "cover up" with "Axl Rose" and "asshole". Well, whatever makes for entertainment.
Axl Rose is the synonym of fuck-up and he's the only one to blame for it.

What would they do, try and make an album? It's a nostalgia trip, nothing more. Given Slash's recent (or never ending form) in writing music, you're in for a fart level of AFD.
Slash wrote some pretty good and even great themes for his solo album, but most of them did't get completed, unfortunately. Huge difference. He was the last member of GN'R, who turned out not to be a solo artist. Not a tragedy. Slash - just like the others - needs other people to achieve great results.
I don't see any album in a reunited GN'R though. But a great farewell tour would be great, as long as they are alive and can play well. They'd better hurry. Then we'll get what we got in the past years: predictable to good solo albums, mostly mediocre stuff. I don't expect too much from them in the future. I'll be happy if there are 2 or 3 AFD quality songs on each albums. (Well, not Think About You quality 
)

Oh, and the reunion crowd is living in a bigger fantasy land than the morons who think Axl will still take over the music world again. A reunion would be no different than what you have now. A reunion would be good for one show and a successful reunion tour for the hardcores, just so they can bust a nut a cry at the sight of Axl and Slash on stage again. That's about it. But it would be cool to see it.
That's the point, although I fear that it wouldn't last long. I'm sure that with Axl, the classic line-up could not record an album. When would they release it? 17 years after the reunion? Even a tour could collapse in any minute, if Axl has a bad day or a bad moment. The late starts wouldn't change at all. The primadonna actions wouldn't change. So while it would be great to see them playing together and paying tribute to what was one of the greatest band in history, I don't see it happening. Even the possible Hall Of Fame introduction is very, very doubtful.
BTW I don't see Axl doing more in his life than finishing CD II, sometime in 2020.
#1517 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot interview » 847 weeks ago
As far as I know Snakepit 1 was for one album and it was done when Slash went back to GN'R. Snakepit 2 died, cause it had little to none success and Perla arrived with her ambitions. VR did well (as a band), but Scott is almost Axl II. They're still together, but need a frontman.
I'm not saying that Slash can lead a band properly, cause I'm sure he can't, but the big difference between Slash and Axl that Salsh does not even want to lead a band ALONE, while Axl cannot imagine having other people with an ounce of say in the band. With the personalities and leading abilities classic and post-classic GN'R had, it was meant to be a democratic band, or at least a band, and not one lunatic gazing into his crystal ball and deciding everything then changing his mind every time he sees a black dove or when a fly farts. The past 15 years proved GN'R to be the worst led band EVER. Thanks to Mr. Axl 'Just one guy can have the wheel' Rose. Cause he wanted full control then let the car go off the hill, then blames the whole planet for his fuck-ups. (Then goes to take the money from the insurance company.)
#1518 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot interview » 847 weeks ago
I think it didn't matter at all what the others did or did not do. We're talking about a man who left Slash's car in the minute the guy said it wasn't nice to shout his grandma to fuck off. Axl is a control freak, but unfortunately while he can control, he cannot lead a band.
#1519 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Sweet Child O'Mine Acoustic » 847 weeks ago
Amazing versions. 
There are mistakes, for sure, but the music is alive and that's what rock is for me. I love the ounce of Spanish taste in Slash's SCOM solo.
I'd love to hear the two guys form a real band (maybe with Izzy on rhythm 
) and just go out and play and enjoy themselves. These songs somehow remind me of those great, great old GN'R acoustic shows. Man, I'd love to hear a Lies-type of acoustic stuff from these guys.

If that's true, that's kinda sad. It means from way back when, Axl always looked at it like a job.
If I looked at it as business, i'd be the same way. I'd rather go to work for 8 hours every other night, or every three days, during those shows, than to spend 4 hours each day, every day, dealing with the business.
It's true, I remember how Mick inspired him during their tour. That made Axl think that a band needs one leader and the others are employees only. The sad thing is that while Mick is an accountant type of guy, according to various sources, Axl is more of a Syd Barrett/Brian Wilson type. History also proved that the 'boss form' can be a great way to lead a band, but the success depends on the boss' personality.
