Always liked 'The Blues' better and really enjoyed the song on the 2002 tour. Great song but should have left it alone.

I saw them 5-6 times that year I believe. All Epic.
I think that might be why I look back so fondly on that era. The shows were amazing. I made it to 4 of them.

I fuckin loved 2006, bumps and all. Awesome shows from that era. Finally, redemption from the debacle of 2002.

No doubt Izzy in the any GnR lineup makes it better. Doubt he would commit for very long though.
#365 Re: Guns N' Roses » '96 Album - The Original Leftovers » 508 weeks ago
No doubt there is plenty of material from all parties that are in or ever were in GnR, and I'm sure they come up with more all the time.. its what they do.
But would Axl release any of it ?
Like I said, even one or two songs released on iTunes for a tour would have most of us bouncing off the walls.
#366 Re: Guns N' Roses » '96 Album - The Original Leftovers » 508 weeks ago
This is the iTunes age, they could get away with just a song or two.
This fanbase would be tickled to get a new song, from any incarnation past or present.

What I don't buy is this notion that they will bring this drummer to play these songs and that drummer to play these other songs. I know that's what happened a few years ago at the HOF, but that was a one time thing.
I would just assume keep Frank on drums, he has the talent and has been playing these songs for years anyway. That keeps it neutral.
And if Izzy only wants to make guest appearances, keep Richard on board.
I could see perhaps one or two CD songs in the mix (title track comes to mind), maybe even a Slash or Duff song. Tommy plays his own stuff sometimes, Bumble played some of his stuff. There were a few tracks on Slash's first solo album I thought would work with Axl's voice.
Setlist tho, the vast majority of it will likely be more of the same. Jungle, Brownstone, Patience, all the core songs.

Yeah rock is definitely dying. The music scene is evolving and so is the touring industry. People have too many options in the current culture. Hell, people nowadays don't even go to shows to enjoy it. They go to film a clip of the hit for Facebook so their friends will all click the 'Like' button.
I agree this should have happened in 03-05 but these are the cards we've been dealt. I do believe it will be successful but its not going to be a Live 8 Pink Floyd destroying the planet's stadiums and blowing up social media indefinitely. Yes the reunion will be major news, social media will see #GNRREUNION for a couple weeks, then it becomes a normal touring act whose success we all seem to disagree on.
Love your screen name.
Thanks
Yea the fact that a legendary rock band like the Red Hot Chili Peppers played second fiddle as a guest to some guy I never heard of at the Super Bowl recently says it all.
No idea what the kids are into these days music wise.
With that said, GnR is really the last big band yet to cash in on the reunion thing, and if it happens, its going to do very well.
Not getting my hopes up on new music from any incarnation of the band.
#369 Re: Guns N' Roses » As the reunion rumors are on a treadmill... » 508 weeks ago
Past prime or not, my ass is THERE when it happens.
Me too. If I'm able.
Probably won't be traveling very far.. In 2006 I traveled all over to see the band... but those were different times.

The Soundgarden/NIN tour last summer - made me feel really old. The kids aren't into rock concerts these days. I am 35, and most attending the show looked older than me.
GnR probably missed the boat by about 10 years. Not to say it wouldn't get a lot of buzz and sell a lot of tickets, but lets face it.. these guys are all past their prime, and we are too.
