Aaahh, slick.
Free publicity. Let them come to you. Makes sense, and so far, it's payed off. It also helps when rock is DEAD, and there is basically NOTHING of real interest going on. One could also argue the overall music scene as well. Nothing really important has happened in awhile and Iggy Azalea was a complete media/producer created hype.
The GN'R reunion thing is growing organically right now.

Oh... that's much better.
I will agree with that belief that You Ain't The First would be more appreciated on GN'R Lies, where it should've been, and is probably a lost cut from that EP, but "the best on UYI", that's a bold BOLD claim.

He played some Vegas shows with Axl as well quite a bit after the London show.
Do you know what the dates for those were? I don't remember because of all touring, but all the media sites are reporting the last time Izzy played with Guns was 2012.
Duff played Vegas 2014, don't think Izzy did.
Okay, I researched it and the media is right. Izzy hasn't played live with GN'R since 2012, in 3-1/2 years since that fall. Which is quite a while.
Checked HTGTH. Last show Izzy played with GN'R was at the Vegas residency in 2012. Nov. 23rd, 2012 & Nov. 24th, 2012 (the last), Izzy joined GN'R on stage for several songs.
So yeah... Izzy hasn't played with GN'R in 3-1/2 years. If he shows up at Coachella, that'll be the first time in awhile.

#715 Re: Guns N' Roses » Looks like rehearsals have started! » 565 weeks ago
I also thought The Blues was fake the first time I heard it in 2001. Axl's voice was so clean (and Mickey) that I didn't even recognize it. At first I thought it was someone imitating him, lol. Later I discovered from the Rio III show, as well as subsequent 2002 soundboards and 2002 VMA's when I physically saw Axl sing for the first time since the heyday that his voice was gone (obviously he later re-discovered it).
I listened to the Catcher demo yesterday for the first time in ages and I practically cried. I still will NEVER wrap my mind around what the living hell Axl was thinking by altering the original version. What was logical in trading out Brian "Goddamn Rock N' Roll Hall of Famer" May, for Ron? I don't get it. I never will. It's not the say that the studio version is dreadful, but yeah... it's a trainwreck of garbage compared to the demo.
Listening to it, I feel the same thing you do Furbush, the original was such a beautful, haunting, tragedy of a song. Axl's vocal, the flow, how Brian's solo (despite being in pieces) beautifully merged and gave the song almost a scream and cry through guitar. It was a masterpiece. One of the best GN'R songs ever recorded, and arguably one of the best Brian songs ever recorded, counting his Queen catalog.
I will never get it. Hopefully the Chinese sessions will be released one day, and the original Catcher in HQ-studio form will end of Disc 3 of "Bucket chunks" or something like that for us to finally get the true version.
#716 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy reportedly in GN'R and wrote new music » 565 weeks ago
You just mentioned it Will, haha. Izzy himself and Axl's confirmation of Down By The Ocean. That's what I meant by '2001'.
I actually didn't know it was from the 1995 sessions. News to me, wow. I thought it was when Axl was trying to woo Izzy back in his Guns reboot band with Robin/Bucket.
#717 Re: Guns N' Roses » Salon Reunion article » 565 weeks ago
Could you imagine if Axl's original vision had been released and dreadlocked-Izzy had been on rhythm guitar in 2001-02, instead of Paul/Richard? Supergroup indeed.
I agree with the Kushner rumor. I think it's nothing more than fanboyism of the Slashites/VR-fans still around and Dave decided to take the piss with it on social media. Nothing more.
However...
If Axl DOES decide to retain THREE guitarists in a reunion scenario, the ONLY way I see Slash signing off on it is if Richard goes to Lead Guitar 2 (where Axl always wanted him, also allowing Izzy's guest spots), and the trade-off is Dave Kushner on rhythm.
The only issue I have is if you're going to go through the trouble of bringing in a completely new band member like Kushner.... why not just call Gilby Clarke in that situation? I thought Gilby & Slash were boys? Why would Slash/Duff push for Kushner, when Gilby would be the obvious choice, especially being they performed with Gilby at the RNRHOF induction in 2012?
Plus, if you're going to go that far with Kushner/Clarke... why call Steven? Why not just call Matt Sorum? Just focus your efforts on a UYI reunion, which is what it already pretty much is, if Izzy/Steven aren't fully involved.
#718 Re: Guns N' Roses » Alan Niven interview 01-08- 2016 » 565 weeks ago
Again with this "Axl threatened to not tour" over the band name, which has been discredited many times by NUMEROUS different stories over how he got the name (we may never know the ACTUAL truth about it).
Axl has a story. Niven's timeline matches up with Axl's, but not the version of events. Slash has a version that's similar to Niven's (but then again their buddies). Duff has a completely different version of the events, but it was when he was at his worst substance abuse. Even Matt Sorum claims the not tour story and that he signed his rights over to something he doesn't even have a legal or personal right to, because he's a lying douche.
At this stage, I would only believe Axl or a fucking Judge in an Arbitration case over this goddamn name issue. Ugh.
If Izzy has been quietly working behind the scenes on GNR material then this reunion is going to be unreal. This is different than Chinese...anything they are working on will not be buried by GNR and/or the label.
God let these guys have a King Animal in them.
Ironically GN'R already had a King Animal in them, and it was released in 2008.
The weirdness of it all, was that Chinese was supposed to be this legendary masterpiece that Guns (Axl) HAD to deliver and when it was released, it didn't have a single radio-ready song on it other than Better. Better in 2008 was GNR's version of "Been Away Too Long" basically.
That was it.
This time around is different. The casuals are back. There is going to be an unannouced expectation by the huge rise in fans to old 87-93 levels, that GN'R are returning to their classic sound with Slash back in the band. Anything less will be a massive misstep. Soundgarden were never as big as Guns. SG can get away with a King Animal in a reunion situation.
If GN'R do new music, just like Van Halen with DLR returning, it is going to be expected to return to the classic Guns sound, as well as having a few instant-singles waiting in the wings.
Hopefully this will be less King Animal, and more the GN'R Down On The Upside, Guns N' Roses never released back in 1995.
#719 Re: Guns N' Roses » Howard Stern talks GNR Coachella reunion » 565 weeks ago
I don't buy it. Unless they all collaborate on a BIG personal "Some Kind of Monster" (without all the pussification). People are going to want to know the GN'R story on some level, and not as a scripted-film, but some sort of retrospective. Netflix. SOME-THING.
They're not going to just start this thing off, and just go out and perform and NO ONE is allowed to talk to the press, including Slash & Duff. Not unless there's future plans.
Then again, maybe Axl sees all this as a "Dallas" dream season situation. He's just gonna delete everything that happened from 1994-2015, and pick up with Guns circa 1993, which is kinda cool too.
Imagine Axl, Slash, Richard, Duff, Frank, Dizzy & Chris picking up in 2016 like it was 1994, and just moving forward. Forget all the negative bullshit and just revive Guns and make up lost time. New music, tours, and Axl actually DOING what Richard, Dizzy & Chris have all claimed and let Axl an "his artistry" do the talking.
