#921 Re: Guns N' Roses » Official band pic » 537 weeks ago
I never cared why Axl used Gusn N`Roses name or whether it was moral or immoral, he formed this band after all, he named it, he `s the leader and a chief songwriter, it was always his band especially, after Izzy ( second founding member and Axl`s main sogwriting partner ) left .
I'm not talk about morals here...or who thought up the name...I'm talking public perception for, at the time in 1993, gnr was the world's biggest band...bar none...it is almost career suicide to carry on without the guitarist crowd favorite "sweetheart" that is/was Slash...go solo and the world looks a lot different
As far as chief songwriter, leader, formed the band BS ... that's all perspective ... fact is 5 down on their luck kids hooked up and caught lightning in a bottle ... then egos took over when hanger-ons saw a meal ticket within the hairline fractures of their drug and alcohol induced young millionaire states of mind

Axl's mistake was using a new band and calling it guns n roses...I've said it a million times...if he would've just been "Axl Rose" similar to Ozzy Osborne going solo after Sabbath then every thing turns out alot different IMHO
Finck is a bad choice of guitarist for gnr style of music...he is a product of late 90s industrial rock and not, never has been, and never will be a late 80s guitar god hard rock style guitarist...which is what gnr needs
IMO NIN, Marilyn Manson, White Zombie type shit is Finck's bag...not estranged and scom ... his dissonant chords and drop-d tricks just dont fit ... you gotta use the right tool for the job my freinds

Yea the mockingbird doesn't surprise me so much as he had an unofficial signature model from bc rich for quite a while called the Mockingbird SL...or the Korean version, the Mockingbird ST
Seeing the Firebird was a bit of a shocker tho

I never had a problem with their performances in the 06-11 Era...I even think DJ and Ron are pretty awesome...but anyway
I still feel that both electric clips is still pretty slow compared to last night...Anyway I enjoyed last night's performance...thought it was good...and like I said I'm not really one to binge watch live performances to rate them against each other...but now that I have watched from 2010 I see where u are coming from

Jeez...an acoustic gig 6 years ago at half the tempo and prolly a quarter of the volume
I get what u r saying but I just don't watch all that many live performances to compare...and u gotta put shit I to context

I havent watched alot of youtube clips this year...but I've noticed that Slash has played a few other guitars on this tour like a B.C. Rich Mockingbird and a Gibson Firebird
Any thoughts or opinions on this? Is this new to the gnr reunion? Or had this type of thing happened on recent solo tours with the conspirators as well?
He's been so long synonymous with the Les Paul that it looks kinda odd to see him jamming on a different style of guitar...

Nice...Catcher kicks ass...I thought they did really good...Axl sounded killer...why u say Mickey?
#930 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Set-List » 537 weeks ago
It's a shame that they had to wait for the fan base to become so jaded before taking on this type of tour
It's also a shame that the tickets are so damn expensive
Anyway setlist? I'm fine with it..whatever if they sound good and the crowd is happy that's all that matters really
Would I like to see it changed up regularly? Yes and no...do I have my own personal wants to see them play live? He'll yeah...but they have to please 50-70k people...not just some random hardcore that may or may not attend a gig
