Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Does anyone know what gnr's deal is when it comes to touring? will they go on without a third guitar-player?

Stinson added that he thinks the record is finally almost done, and the only thing that's holding back its completion is legal issues. Even the recent departure of guitarist Buckethead isn't slowing anything down. "As far as I know, he hasn't been replaced, but we already have enough guitarists,"Stinson said. "We have Robin Finck and Richard Fortus, and Buckethead will be on the record, too.

then was rio cancelled cause they needed time to rehearse and rearrange sections for the guitarplayers to play-
-or because the need and plan a third guitarplayer when doin gigs? and that was just Tommy's opinion?

is there any interviews or info that can clear things up around this Or anyone who knows 4 sure?

right now I dont think anyone knows what the deal is with 2 or 3 guitar players and anyone outside the band or maybe even just axl himself would be just speculating.

Finck and Fortus aren't enough; i'm not confident they can carry the mantle of Slash. Not confident at all.

your fuckin' kidding me.!! :o

Fortus can, but not Finck.

Unfortunately none of them have the ability of Slash, not even the half of Slash's talent. It's not a tragedy, a very few can come close to Slash. But they can tour and release albums, just please, be GN'R 2000 (2005?) and forget about the old songs, it'd be enough to play only new ones (from the three albums  :hihi:) with 3-4 old anthems.

Slash is unique, we are ok. Nobody can aver "replace" Slash because you can't replace a legend. However it doesn't forbide to think Fortus is better than Finck and that he should take the lead  ;D

I agree that Fortus is better than Finck. To tell the truth Axl chose 2 musicians to play for him who made me really upset: Huge/Tobias and Finck. They absolutely lack the quality needed in this level.

Robin rocks my socks.

BH rocked too, he played the robot... unfortunatelly I realized this too late. Everything in GN'R has a meaning and is worth to interprate. I still believe in 3 guitar players to be on the album. To the on stage question, I have no clue how GN'R will manage it. But I would welcome it because I am going with the classical rythym thing, and classic is realy hard to play and perhaps they need 3 guitar players. I loved the on stage presence of this 3 guys, because there was a lot of communication and pure energy.

Very Well said, M. Philly Rose. :yes:
I guess he meant he is not certain if Finck and Fortus can wear the bucket and the mask of BH like Slash did? I'm not very confident either.

well, two guitarists won't be enough since the news stuff will probably need 3 guitars.

This has been discussed to death. Noone, fucking, knows. Get with it.

This is why this is being locked.
