Title: Axl Rose was/is the heart and soul of Guns N' Roses
Post by: RichardNixon on August 08, 2004, 03:45:40 AM
That's not to say that the rest of the old band aren't awesome and talented. They are. But Axl was the heart and soul of GN'R. Now I like Velvet Revolver album a lot. But I don't love it. I don't have the same emotional reaction to it that I have torwards GNR's music, and that includes the new songs by the new band.

When it comes to comming up with great lyrics, melodies, songs, emotion, and feeling, Axl Rose is the greatest singer/songwriter ever, bar none. Without Axl, Slash Duff, Gilby, Izzy and Matt can still make great music, but it's Axl that possesses the magic wand that makes it genius.

Chinese Democracy will blow Contraband away.

I disagree. The heart and soul of guns n roses is Axl, Slash, Izzy and Duff writing music together, simple as that :peace:

Nope Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steve.


Personally Gn'r wouldn't have been anything special without Slash and Izzy's guitars.

I agree with Matt88 and Dayle1066 ...GNR isn't GNR without all 5 members.  That's what gives the band it's distinct sound...no one member is the heart and soul.

I agree with RichardNixon, I get the same emotional feeling as you too with both bands music. But I guess we will see in due time.

I agree 100%. The sum was greater than the individual parts.    Take away the attitude that Slash brought, the song writing of Izzy, and the overall contribution of Duff, and you are left with an empty shell. Axl may go on, but he can't duplicate what the original band was.

Why do you think he's trying?

If he wanted to duplicate what the old band was, would he have gotten the guys he has now into the band?

I don't think so.

 :yes:
Axl is a unique talent when it comes to writing vocal melodies and express his emotions. But without the others... well, GN'R wouldn't have been that huge. Try to imagine any GN'R song with another lead guitarist - the song lost 50%.

Axl and Slash are the heart and soul of GNR.... These 2 are like Jagger/Richards and Tyler/Perry...
