Title: finck and fortus - who is the better guitar player? Post by: August 18th on July 18, 2005, 03:15:18 AM assuming that these two will be the resident guitar players for guns n' roses in the future as well, which one is the best skilled? i know it is hard to tell with no new material released yet but for those who have experienced gn'r live in 2002 and/or know what these players are capable of, which one is the best suited to fill slash' shoes? and before people flame me for mentioning replacing slash, i think that's part of axl wants to do, at least judging from his comments at the 2002 VMA's. i also get the feeling that he wants to replace izzy, judging from his comments that richard both "has a izzy kind of vibe to him", and that after having had richard audition for the new band, they were at the airport and some fan thought he was izzy, which axl took as a good omen and hired him.

They are both unknown quantitys to a degree Title: Re: finck and fortus - who is the better guitar player? Post by: nesquick on July 18, 2005, 05:40:22 AM Fortus by a mile.

Post by: metallex78 on July 18, 2005, 08:10:00 AM Robin has a more unique style, while Fortus is more of a classic rocker, but I've yet to hear Fortus butcher a solo like Robin has, and his tone and sound are great. So I'd have to go with Richard Fortus.

Exactly, not much creative experience on either end.. I like Finck's stage presence, look and style much better than Fortus', I enjoy Robin's loosey-goosey interpretation of the old material. On the other hand, Richard's stage shennanigens just irritate me, looks like he's just trying to damn hard to get noticed... Title: Re: finck and fortus - who is the better guitar player? Post by: August 18th on July 19, 2005, 12:52:30 AM why was this thread moved here? it's not a question that keeps popping up and it's certainly not dead horse. pandora you hold personal grudges and are on a power-trip, you should be banned and de-mod'ed as soon as possible.

They are both rock gods :beer: Title: Re: finck and fortus - who is the better guitar player? Post by: Mikkamakka on July 20, 2005, 02:30:43 AM Robin has a more unique style, while Fortus is more of a classic rocker, but I've yet to hear Fortus butcher a solo like Robin has, and his tone and sound are great. So I'd have to go with Richard Fortus. I agree, but Robin's lead playing piss me off. Terrible. Axl should hire a lead guitarist since the band doesn't have a quality player for that position. |
