Re: Coachella Festival profile and rumours
They're in their 50s though. They have a shot at becoming the Stones for this generation.
I think the riots, late starts,etc. are over.
I'm looking forward to proper updates, releases, interesting set lists, and members actually being able to comment about the band they are in.
It makes me sad how they basically wasted 20 years doing nothing.
On the Adler topic, there has to be a way where you can work him into some shows and let him participate without totally depending on him not to fuck him.
Maybe he plays select shows while the other guy (Sorum or Frank, doesn't really matter to me that much) does the rest. I still think Izzy will be involved. He said that he would be up for a reunion years ago. Don't see why he would change his mind now.

Re: Coachella Festival profile and rumours
Question, and I agree Sorum and Frank for CD stuff, but what do you think UYI would be so hard for Adler? You do know Adler wrote the drum part for YCBM right? NR, Estranged, Don't Cry, KOHD, NOT HARD ON DRUMS! What is o crazy on CD songs that he would actually play? tIL, CD, SOD, easy tunes to play. Drumming for GNR was most difficult on AFD sans locomotive which Adler demo'd on as well.
Re: Coachella Festival profile and rumours
I actually don't think it would be that hard for him at all. The issue is him staying sober.
The majority of the set list would be mostly AFD tracks, Patience, NR, KOHD, Don't Cry, YCBM and a variety of other cuts anyway.
So I agree with SG that he shouldn't have that much difficulty with the UYI titles, considering that a fair number of them were written while he was still in the band.

For those that think UYI is too hard for Adler. HE IS A PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER.

They will never be the Stones. They blew that all to hell in the mid-90's when they imploded on themselves. I say that as someone who strongly prefers the limited GN'R catalog to the vast Stones catalog. I like the Stones' hits but can't make it through their deep cuts. Guns from 86-91 had one of the most incredible runs ever IMHO. Crazy thing is a lot of their best stuff flies under the radar.

I do think its too hard for him, I'm just being honest, especially now and not in a studio.
Are you suggesting NR and Don't Cry are harder than say Brownstone or Rocket Queen or PC? Are you being serious? I think it should be Sorum. But Adler can fucking play some drums. He is not some rookie. Have you heard the Adler album?

Only Lynyrd Skynyrd matched their hit count in such short time.
stones from 69-74 is the greatest band ever.

I've been listening to the Stones a lot the past few days and find most of their "deep cuts" pretty accessible. For some reason, some of the really bluesy based tracks just bore me though.
