do you guys really think that if slash mantained the gnr name and axl went solo that slash's gnr would be doing equal or better in terms of touring?
Absolutely - as long as they had a singer that could sing the songs, there would be little to no difference. To suggest otherwise is foolish at best and every bit as much speculation as claiming there would be a difference. You don't know, you just think you know.
Slash did pretty well for himself without the band name to draw people. If Axl would have put half of the effort into promoting his work as Slash does, THEN you MIGHT be able to make that claim. As it stands, I think you can make a case that with a Myles type singer (see the SCOM and Civil War videos) and the effort Slash would have done to promote it, I think he could have made a MORE successful version of GnR with Duff and Matt. I can't prove this anymore than you can prove your case, but there is some merit to it.
I will agree with you on one point though: the new band is the Axl Rose show. Few will argue against that.
"Absolutely" followed by an "if" that can't happen - NICE.
axl's voice is much more difficult to replicate than slash's guitar in a gnr song.
despite slash being mr. nice guy that everbody loves
axl is a bigger draw - IMO
slash did well for himself, yes, but you speak as if he did not benefit close-to as much if not as much from the gnr name as axl did. it's not like vr gained any popularity from the ground up. everybody knew it was gnr minus axl and everybody knew slash from gnr. furthermore, vr was a cross of gnr and stone temple pilots - that's twice the star power that axl has currently but not twice the popularity.
performers of axl's magnitude don't come around very often. that is why gnr still draws blood.
No, I cannot prove slash's gnr would do less unless it were to happen but the evidence we DO have suggests it.

get serious.
to be honest i'm amazed how much draw axl still brings, alone. we can't keep hiding behind the notion that people are being fooled in to going to the shows. honestly, if you like gnr enough to go to a show in 2010 and don't know that slash and duff are not in the band you probably don't care to begin with.
moral views and opinions on the gnr name aside
This is the axl rose show.

it's too bad a really great tour has to end on a bad note/s

The dobbel snaredrum hit on the verses on ChiDem
are we the only two that noticed that? I have been saying this for years. that original drum beat was killer and the final version of cd would have been even more killer with the original drums.
as far as catcher I don't think Axl doesn't realize that Brian May was epic on the track - question is was it money or him wanting his new guitarist on the album that made him sacrafice the song's integrity.

#829 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - April 4, 2010 (Praça da Apoteose) » 840 weeks ago
wtf
more?
i prefer changing setlists as a fan and as a performer i never said anything else was the case.
but if they are playing the songs well and it's to different fans each show which it is
I DONT CARE
and think it's pathetic that people that aren't at the shows do.
i will be dissappointed if they are playing only 4 or 5 cd songs when they come to the states and will bitch about it after but only cause i paid to see cd world tour. if it's the same set list as the last 15 shows i won't care cause i didnt pay to see those shows.

i say a reunion would even disappoint at this stage.
