Duff looking way too classy and dressed up, haha. This is a place they used to own with the sleaziest, greasiest clothes. lol

Lenny Kravitz hanging out with Slash and Duff backstage.

So let's go down the list...
1. Slash is playing Better and Chinese Democracy.
2. Axl is showing up late as usual.
3. Reunion announcement referred to Slash and Duff in very dismissive tone.
Basically Axl has won the war.

Nicolas Cage as well apparently. Didn't think about him but he did the Golden Gods thing for Axl, so obviously a huge fan. I wonder if Piazza/Rourke/Governator made it.

God I was so loaded on Oxy back then. Sweet Baby Jesus. I've mentioned this before but when I came back last year I saw a lot of posts from years ago I don't even remember typing.
I guess it's a good thing I listened to Nancy (RIP). Just say NO.

I will secretly admit... my favorite versions of Mr. Brownstone & YCBM was UYI-era, BECAUSE of Sorum's drumming. I just like his sound on those live.
Beyond that, I think it depends on whether you see GN'R as a Rolling Stones who needs a Charlie Watts on the kit (Adler), or GN'R as a Led Zeppelin who needs a John Bonham on the kit (Sorum).
I think Izzy was right in saying GNR's drummer was always supposed to have a groovy feel back there. Maybe not funky, but a more rhythm thing that only guys like Adler & Ferrer can do. Sorum & Mantia can't and don't do that.
Great googly moogly. Don't mention Sorum in the same sentence as John Bonham ever again.

Adler is a drug addict and unreliable
Sorum is a drum machine who's sound was never quite GN'R
Brain (see Sorum)
Frank is the best of the bunch. No baggage, no bullshit, talented guy, has enough prowess to pull of the UYI & CD tracks, but has a groove that hasn't been there since Adler.
Drummer was always a disposable position in GN'R. Frank seems to be the best package for alot of reasons.
I don't feel Adler is the uber-God fans make out. I think GN'R could've just as easily had Fred Coury from Cinderella or Steve Riley from LA Guns on the drum kit for the recording of AFD... and guess what? It'd still be A fucking F fucking D.
Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin & Duff McKagan were the one-of-a-kind ingredients that made Guns N' Roses -- Guns N' Fucking Roses
With all due love and respect Steven
That last line is glorious after throwing him under the bus, lol. Axl is the only one who regarded Steven as some replaceable hack. The other 3 said that the sound just didn't work anymore without him...and I completely agree with them based on both UYI records and live gigs.

Sky Dog wrote:I could handle Slash and Izzy back in the mix, but in the end, reunions of hard rock bands 25 years later are LAME. Plus, Adler and Sorum are complete douche bags so it would be nice to see them never profit from the Gnr name again.
Bro, a little harsh... You still feel this way?
I mean Adler and Sorum both are douche bags. Adler just so happens to be a critical part of the GN'R sound, so I give him a pass on the douchebaggery and I feel sorry for him too...so yes I would like to see him be part of a reunion.

OK yes, please continue the Soundgarden rambling James. MIA is fucking turrible.
#470 Re: Guns N' Roses » Secret show: April 1, L.A.? » 547 weeks ago
Nope we can't be in another lifetime. James is still rambling on about Soundgarden.
