To tell the truth, I'm not a fan of BOB's production. He isn't bothered by out-of-tone guitars and out-of-tone guitar solos. That speaks volumes.
#2252 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fortus: GNR tour should begin in late March '09 » 931 weeks ago
Wait, Fortus is out?
Does it matter? GN'R couldn't be more inactive even with Axl being out. To tell the truth, Axl leaving GN'R would speed up the things, I think.

Prostitute again. I still think it's the worst on the album.
#2254 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dave Navarro on Chinese » 932 weeks ago
I don't get the 'Slash has only two famous songs' assumption. Geez, if it's true, than GN'R have only two famous songs. Slash's guitar playing on WTTJ, PC, SCOM, NR and KOHD are instant classics. I could name other songs that are at least that good, but not that well-known. Please name 10 guitar players with a more impressive catalogue. You can't. Downgrading Slash's importance and legend (which is not the top hat, before anyone would start it) as a guitar player, is like saying that Jimmy Page has only one legendary song, Stairway to Heaven.
#2255 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dave Navarro on Chinese » 932 weeks ago
Navarro is az interesting guitar player. RHCP made their best album with him. Dave is not a guitar god, but there are only a few, and I'm unsure if Axl wants any in his band. Navarro would be a great addition to Axl's band, although as far as I remember, he said that the best decision of his career was not joining Guns N' Roses.
#2256 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dave Navarro on Chinese » 932 weeks ago
For someone who generally comes across as pretty out there, Dave's surprisingly grounded when talking about the album.
Wonder if Axl stills wants to play with him? I understand there's an opening for a lead guitarist...
Navarro could do all the Finck parts and he'd do better. I'd be much more interested in seeing the band live with Dave Navarro.

Axl kept the name that still attracts a lot of classic rock fans. Compare the effect of 'Guns N' Roses are back with Axl Rose and a bunch of new guys' with 'Axl Rose's new band, A Cat Named Dexter released its first album'. Which would you buy rather? well, you'd buy both, but Joe Public rather buys a Guns N' Roses album than an Axl Rose album.
@ the BB deal: there must have been a very good reason for them to take this road of sure money instead of risking. They knew it would be a flop in GN'R terms, so they wanted to make more money they could have made without the BB deal. It was all about the benjamins.
#2258 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fortus: GNR tour should begin in late March '09 » 932 weeks ago
Maybe that's the plan, that will not materialize. Also, I don't see Axl standing a 2-year tour. No way, he has never liked touring, too much pressure, too much drama, not enough comfort. Even the VR guys, who like to be on the road take huge breaks between the legs. No way Axl would show up in theatres or half-empty arenas for 2 years. He can't even handle 6 months on the road.
#2259 Re: Guns N' Roses » CD - One million copies sold » 932 weeks ago
This argument fails when we look at the most recent statistics of Metallica and AC/DC. Classic rock bands start to sell better than they did in the last few years. The exception is Guns N' Roses.
#2260 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread » 932 weeks ago
The album did prove who was the heart and soul of Guns and Roses.
Absolutely. Dizzy is Guns N' Roses.
