well if they are hired hands and we have no proof they are actually in the band at the moment, can we put this topic in the Richard section? It really has NOTHING to do with Gnr. Same goes for Hookers and Blow or any other side project of any former or ex alleged bandmember. Quite frankly, I am sick of reading about these things and the inevitable conversations that follow the original post.:headbang::flame:

actually, I think you just confused yourself Brett.....Gnr is not rocket science by any steretch of the imagination.

wtf is this thread about...any links to the site.

I would have used the word ignorant.......and The Mats', like Gnr, are straight up rock and roll.

Saikin, Nirvana was heavily influenced by the Replacements and Pixies. The title Nevermind is ripped from a Replacements song on Pleased to Meet Me called "Nevermind". Is Nirvana good enough for you? I was actually going to apologize for my comment last night, but now...no. Battles lines are drawn. Westerberg shits on Rose and the only guy in Gnr who comes close to matching how cool and talented Tommy is is Izzy. Bob Stinson had more punch and balls than Slash ever had. The original Gnr was a great great band, but in the end, they simply don't have as many quality songs as The Replacements do. The Replacements from 81-87 were a better rock outfit than Gnr 87-91.
