Here Today... Gone To Hell!

No vocals from Axl, just the band showing that they are worthy of being in a band called Guns N' Roses.  We already know how good the band is, but for those who doubt or don't even know anything about the new Guns, I think an instrumental song that shows off these guys' talents would kick ass.  Your thoughts?

i think it would never happen

A couple of badass guitar riffs will be enough to satisfy people who don't know the band.

that would be stupid. Axl is the highlight of the band, the only remaining member, and after waiting this long I would like him to be featured.

exactly.. who's in the band :D

No instrumentals. Like somebody mentioned, once people hear great riffs etc that'll thats needed to prove.

id just like to CD actually get released in the next 3 months

I, for one, am not a fan of instrumentals, but any music released within the next year would be a plus.

If they put OMG on there it should be an instrumental. The version with vocals sucks.

I cant imagine OMG being on CD, I want new songs : ok:

Amen.

Yeah, maybe something like Nazareth's 'Rose in the Heather'. Beggars Day outro leads right into Rose in the Heather, and would be pretty cool if GNR did the same thing.

No that's the last thing  i want to hear, Im waiting on Axl Rose to release a damn album and I wanna hear his voice throughout the whole thing.

I agree,I want to hear Axl's voice,not just music,that would just suck :peace:

We wait a decade and then get a GNR song without Axl on - stupid idea

why not, it could be interesting.

Axl on piano for example, with this dark thing he played in november rain's intro
(not the asshole part  :hihi: )

Yay, why not?  :D
I'd love to hear "Brain's Montreaux" followed by an epic hard rocker.

I don't think a song just to show off the musicians talents is necessary.
But the effective use of kickass instrumental tracks would give a special charm to the album as a whole.

Anyways, BaDObsessiOn, I suppose you're getting your wish.  8)
There should be some instrumental short pieces between songs.

I hope there will be some intrumental songs on the album.. Just a couple of 1:30 min songs.. with some great flying melodies.. Something like we got from APC 13th step album, or Tools Lateralus.. it makes a great upbuilding to the next song.. if this will be a concept album, then there could be a chance..

 you?re talking about tommy`s recently recorded interludes if i?m not mistaken?.....if they`d really use them as interludes on CD i think that?d be cool. 13 tracks and some kick ass interludes in between... like axl just playing on the piano for 5 minutes and then the blues kicks in.  i always loved axl?s piano intros....

but hopefully no real instrumentals....i`m not waiting for gnr tracks without axl. i think it?s his voice that makes a real gnr song. at least no instrumentals on CD. i`m fine with instrumentals on singles etc...

The only one who should release anything just instrumentally, is Slash. The dude could have reached something much greater then where is now. Like Hendrix before him who worked on a Blues album that is mostly Jimi just jamming and being cooler then shit with little vocals at all on there.

Slash is a really great guitarist. Jimi Hendrix is a guitar god. Slash could have been much much more.

Chinese D should just be a great fucking album first and foremost. The band can as easily display there talent like Appetite before it, with no instrumentals. Leave the instrumental for this band for the live performances.

i agree 100%.   and slash just jamming is way better than slash playing some minor riffs and no solos with scott weiland on top.....

while I respect your opinion I disagree about "the only one" bit.
and no need to bring up a musician who's not on CD.

I would love to hear an instrumental from the original band, and in that times (80's) it would be good...
Now, nah !!!... it would sound as buckethead stuff or something... i would hate it.

I can see by the responses to the question I proposed that many of you are just simply Axl Rose fans, and not so much fans of the new band.  It's funny, I remember a few months ago I made a "Would you care about this band if it wasn't called Guns N' Roses?" thread, and I was surprised at that time that many people said "no."  But now, I'm not really that surprised. 

I see some of the points you guys are making.  They can show off their talents in just a regular song.  But I thought that an instrumental would be something different...

whale & wasp on jar of flies by Alice in Chains is an incredible instrumental...that being said, i dont care for instrumentals and they shouldn't be on CD. This album is about Axl. Its not about Dizzy, Tommy, Brain, Richard, Robin, Chris, or Beta. Its about Axl, and he should be in every song.

Maybe as a hidden track at the end of the album. My personal feeling is  I like instruemental albums but a song plopped in on Chinese Democracy without Axl would then be a band of guys playng songs under the Gn'R name without a single original member contributeing. Seems weird to me.

I think we'll see instrumental passages and given Tommy has spoken of interludes, I think it's safe to assume there'll be some intersting musical movements to enjoy

well   i`m an axl fan, but i actually care about the new band a lot. but that doesn?t make me feel the need to listen to instrumentals on CD. i didn`t say i don`t want them to release instumentals, but i don`t want them ro release instrumentals on CHINESE DEMOCRACY since it`s the first new studio album (better: will might be)

i don't want any instrumentals....i only want songs with vocals
