Totally forgot about Slash. Shit.
My vote is for Soundgarden, although I can't vote now for some reason. I will start a new poll, feel free to delete this one.

I'm sure this isn't a complete list, but it's all I found for major releases coming out. I didn't include bands that I didn't think stood a chance against the likes of VH or Black Sabbath, who I can see dominating.

He lost me when he said Arcade Fire & Radiohead were the best living musicians of our time.
Your post made me not read the interview. Plus, Fortus never has anything worthwhile to say (probably because he doesn't know anything).
#84 Re: Guns N' Roses » When's Album? » 705 weeks ago
The more I think about it, the more questionable I think a one-night reunion like that is anyway - it's like going and fucking your ex wife or something for the hell of it one night then going back where you are now. Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It's either going to be better than what exists now in which case it will traumatise us all, or it's going to suck which will piss on the good memories of what was and traumatise us all.
I'd rather have a real reunion one day when Axl and Slash patch it up and WANT to play together and recapture that magic, or if that day doesn't come, then maybe nothing. Just seems so forced. If it wasn't for this awards ceremony they wouldn't be considering it.
Thank you for totally stealing my joke (except in a more PG way). 
I agree that 2012 will either be great or a total fucking train wreck. You have the RRHOF, new management (though I wouldn't classify them as inexperienced, these guys have been on the sidelines watching and helping for well over a decade), and the potential for current members to walk out.
Totally agree with Bono that it is a travesty to see a talent like Axl's put away for so long. Hopefully Beta managing GNR can let Axl get to a place where he can trust the business end is being covered in his and the band's best interest (as in the manager isn't saying "So let's call Slash..." every minute) and he can get to that creative place again and focus on the music.
That's my hope.

Boring, redundant, modern rock radio dime a dozen sounding. fake poseur tough guy presence on stage. Fuck that!
I'd rather Myles and Scott than that guy.
That dude from Butterfly Effect sounds pretty cool although I hated the first clip and almost didn't listen to the other two but he sounds good(not in the first clip though)
If anybody knows about boring, redudant modern rock radio, it's Myles. After all he fronts Creed, *cough* I mean Alter Bridge. They're originals.
I like some Alter Bridge songs, but seriously, how more generic can you get in terms of music?
But I will take Alter Bridge any day if it keeps those guys from putting out another album as Creed.

Saikin wrote:Mikkamakka wrote:Well, since Scott kinda ruined te band, at least limited it, it's not valid. Cause Slash made GN'R great, but Scott made VR mediocre. So Scott is more of the Tracii Guns of VR, with more stuff written.
It ALWAYS comes to this. "Scott is a mediocre writer." "Scott is a mediocre singer."
So then you have Slash playing with Myles who has a much larger vocal range... and?
Scott has a lot of stage presence, something that anyone who fronts VR needs.
I would also add that it wasn't just Scott that made VR mediocre.
I also find it funny how everyone bitches about Scott without at the same time realizing that THESE GUYS PICKED HIM. They auditioned a lot of singers and they picked Scott. But yes, you all know way better than the ones you look up to.
Stage presence the one thing he hasnt got He moves around stage like a homo
Have you seen Mick Jagger?
#88 Re: Guns N' Roses » LA Times Interview With Axl » 706 weeks ago
I haven't read the interview yet but.....
Are we seriously now trying to diminsh Slash's role in Guns N' Roses by nit picking writing credits.
You need to read things more carefully. I was more irritated by the fact that people are claiming NR and Estranged were written by Slash. I only wanted to point out that they weren't and that none of the songs listed were written solely by him.
To say he wasn't a hugely important piece of GNR would be retarded. Same with saying Duff or Izzy weren't hugely important as well. Without the AFD lineup, AFD wouldn't have happened- period. That makes them all important.

Deal with it.
You either don't know what you're talking about or simply lying to discredit him. Both are very disturbing @ a GN'R forum.
You and your likes like to cite ASCAP to glorify Robin's contribution to GN'R songs. Well, do that in Slash's case, too. Unlike in the album booklet, he gets credit for the songs Axl robbed from him.
BTW anyone with half a brain cannot deny that WTTJ is a Slash song. He made the riffs and the solos. He made SCOM with his magnificent intro and those great guitar solos. He wrote all the other GN'R classics I mentioned. Only two GN'R classic was written by Izzy, YCBM and Don't Cry, with Slash's massive contribution to the first. (Slash is credited for both @ ASCAP.)
Did the others contribute to Slash's songs? Yes. Did they adviced changes, or had song structure advices? Yes. So did Slash with the others. It was a band, for Axl's sake. But for Axlites Slash was not more than a guitar amplifier. Fuck that shit. I don't give negative karma, but from this point I declare war against history revisionist. Fuck this Stalinist, Axlist bullshit.
HOLY FUCK CALM DOWN IT'S THE INTERNET.
Funny how you think I'm an "Axlist." You have me all figured out huh?
I was merely pointing out that none of those songs were solely written by Slash. I was disproving someone's point. In fact, two of those songs only have Axl listed as the writer.
Now if we are talking about Slash's contributions to November Rain and Estranged, then yes, he had majorly important contributions, the songs would not be the same without his solos. But did he write them? No.
See the difference?
Personally, I like both Slash and Axl. Anyone who has been around here long enough knows how much I liked VR when they came out, they know how much I like GNR, and I'm a fan of Snakepit as well.
P.S. The people who are trying to revise history are those trying to claim Slash wrote NR and Estranged. But FUCK fact checking! This is Fox News!

I think that would only be the case if the original lineup was playing CD tracks which ain't gonna happen.
On the flip side I wonder if the original members think what you posted when watching the current lineup play their tunes!
Apples and oranges. Slash, Duff, Izzy - they quit GNR, by their own choice.
GNR still has current members. To see other people perform as GNR is kinda a slap in the dick to them.
