#211 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR has a deal in the works with Guitar Hero and or Rock Band » 940 weeks ago
depends how they package it....if its done before the album launch, i'm sure Axl could dig up a shitload of BH and BBF solos which are just lying around "collecting dust" and stick them on there....to create a bit of a teazer campaign, and get the rock fans excited about it....
but then again, its Axl we're talking about....chances of this thing being ripped to shreds and inciting a million jokes and nasty comments are very high....so he probably won't do it, and will pull out in the last minute...
which will lead to Azoff exiting in about 2 years time....i give him that long before we get another "letter to the fans" scenario....
and the wheels on the bus go round and round....
#212 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 941 weeks ago
The rhythm section was the same in 02 as in 06, did you mean 01 and 06? I certainly think replacing Huge with Fortus was an improvement in terms of ability, it's all opinion of course but Forus beats Huge hands down imo, playing ability, stage presence the whole package.
Slash is certainly pretty scathing of Huge's talents in his book, and apparently so were the other members, Slash says they all found him impossible to gel with and he just wasn't up to the job. You could argue Slash is still bitter at Huge for the STFD stuff but I think by now he's recognised that was Axl's doing and Huge just did as asked.
yeah, sorry, i meant 01 and 06....
i also rate Fortus more than huge....personally, i don't see a single thing huge would have done which would make him an amazingly memorable member in the band's history....
slash and the others really hated him....and i'm sure they still do....but i really wouldn't be surprised if bucket and robin, and even tommy felt the same way too....maybe huge just realised that he really isn't any good and decided to leave guitar all together....
Fortus, Bumble, Tobias?
Could work.
uh, no....gnr's guitar attack needs to be formidable and fucking intimidating, as well as impressive....this line up doesn't intimidate...its impressive technically, but it doesn't intimidate....
#213 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 941 weeks ago
well, according to all ex gnr members....very unsuccessfully....thus making them all pack their bags....and also, that excuse about him not liking to tour....i think its hogwash....i wouldn't be surprised if the reason he "left" was due to similar comments that Slash and co were throwing about him....perhaps BH, Robin and Tommy couldn't work with him either?
with all due respect, the 02 lineup, although better creatively, was a lot sloppier and nowhere near as tight live as the 06 line up....and when that happens, its usually something in the rhythm section which gives way...
not accusing...just a thought...
#214 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 941 weeks ago
as a main lead player?
#215 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Elimination- Round 4 » 941 weeks ago
i knocked The Blues out....Axl's vocals are just not up to scratch on that one....plus it feels unfinished to me...

#218 Re: Guns N' Roses » Riyadh and the Bedouins leak » 941 weeks ago
the more i listen to this song, the more it seems to me like Axl was using some sort of a "reverse psychology" when he was doing the lyrics....
fuck, its almost like any one of us could sing it.....almost perfectly reflects my frustration with this cd....kind of like from a fan's point of view....
#219 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » SEBASTIAN BACH Says He Has Spoken To SLASH About Collaborating On New » 941 weeks ago
They don't need to ever be in the same room to work on a new song together
they've done it many times before like that....in fact, new gnr operates purely on that system....:haha:
#220 Re: Guns N' Roses » Time Magazine considers the leaks Chinese Democracy » 942 weeks ago
yes, its strange....he keeps on promoting this as a "new band", yet he doesn't seem too keen on capitalizing on their achievements or talents as far as the public is concerned.....almost like he doesn't want to share them with the rest of us....
almost like he wants us to see it as his solo project, but doesn't want to label it as his solo project.....what a clusterfuck this has become....
