Title: If you could pick the band
Post by: Goldie on January 25, 2006, 03:37:33 PM
If you could pick out the guitarist, drummer, bassist, and keyboardist for YOUR Guns N' Roses, who would you pick?
**Sorry Axl HAS to be the singer!** **Keep in mind this is all fantasy!**

I would pick Tommy Lee as the drummer (or John Bonham if we could bring back the dead), Slash would still be the guitarist, Jason Newstead as the bassist (he needs a job), and Axl could sing and play keyboards or it may be fun to have Elton John in to play keyboards! That would be great!

Bass - John Deacon
Drums - Nicko Mcbrain
Guitar - Degarmo
Guitar - Petrucci

I wonder what this lineup would be capable of, a substitute will be

Bass - Steve harris
Drums - Roger Taylor
Guitar - Friedman
Guitar - Mustaine

I like the Mustaine idea for guitar....however could you image Dave & Axl on one stage?? Two red heads with attitudes?? :drool: That sounds so delicious!

I would pick Tommy Lee as the drummer

Tommy Lee's a great and exciting drummer, but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable going to a GN'R concert if he were their drummer. He's always asking women to pull their tops up. It's disrespectful and annoying. Other than that, I think he's great. :hihi:

I'd say

Singer -Axl Rose

Lead Guitar -Slash

Rythm Guitar-Izzy

Bass-Duff

And Drums Roger Taylor

You wouldn't feel comfortable with Tommy Lee as the GNR drummer just because he's asking women to pull up their tops?? ???
Maybe I'm wierd but don't you pull up your top anyway at all concerts???

I don't. But that's just me. I'm very modest, especially in front of thousands of people.

He is an awesome drummer. I'm just not in-line with his ethics. Women should be able to attend a concert without being harassed to show their breasts in front of the whole audience.  I went to a Motley Crue concert not so long ago, so I'm speaking from experience. I would not have gone had I known.

Boy, we are living in a dream world. :beer: AH~ But how nice it would be, eh?
As far as taking off tops at concerts~ honestly I have never done it either, and I've been to MANY concerts and never felt I HAD to take off my top. I will say though I was watching Motley Crue videos last weekend and during the video for "Wild Side" my 6 year old daughter rips off her top and screams "Yeah, baby!". (I was so proud! : ok:)So, you tell me~ is it the music or is it the man?

LOL!

It's the man, because he actually takes out a video camera and goes around the whole audience begging girls to show their breasts. A lot of women are into that at rock concerts, but he seems to target the ones who aren't.

Anyway, different strokes and all that... :beer:

Wow~ This turned into the Tommy Lee Tit Show. How did that happen?
Thank you, Journey!? :yes: You are right on~ Different strokes~ Now how do I go about stroking Axl? Oh, again, wrong thread~~

Any other suggestions on Gunner members?

Sorry for veering off topic, I just had to get Tommy Lee off my chest, no pun intended.  :hihi:

I like the current lineup of GN'R. But since we're playing a fantasy game:

Drums - Neil from Rush

Lead - Joe Walsh from The Eagles

Bass - Does it matter?  :hihi:...Joan Jett maybe

Piano - Elton John or Billy Joel

Yeah how about a bassist with attitude like the early Iron Maiden era with Steve Harris?  ;)

Personally I would just stick in UYI GnR but that wouldn't be very original or witty so with that in mind:
Vocals : Axl
Guitars : Slash and Hendrix (twin lead)
Bass: Les Claypool
Drums : Keith Moon
Keyboard : Keith Emerson


Title: Re: If you could pick the band
Post by: -Jack- on January 28, 2006, 09:19:35 PM
Well personally I think taking out all the original members while only leaving the singer.. is pretty much making it not GN'R... but if I HADDDDDDD to...

Vocals:Axl
Guitars: Robin and Richard
Bass: Tommy
Drums: Brain
Keyboards: Dizzy and Chris

but that just wouldn't be GN'R right?  :hihi:. heh. jk...

Rhythms Guitar: Izzy Stradlin
Bass: Sting (why not? two singers=more fun)
Drums: Carl Allen

I agree that just a lead singer doesn't make the band but, first of all Axl does have rights to the name hence whatever band backs him will be Guns N' Roses.? :'( Second, there's a history of bands who replace the lead singer and (in my opinion) they suck~ examples: Van Halen, Motley Crue, J. Geils Band, Iron Maiden, Skid Row, Black Sabbath~ Need I go on?? (Velvet Revolver~ Sorry had to slip that one in there)

Thanks for posting!

So, you think Matt over Steven? Does anyone else think it is wrong how Steven got kicked out for drugs when the rest obviously had addictions? I think Steven would bring back the AFD magic.
But you are right. Guns isn't Guns without the "regular" lineup.

The rest managed to get their lifes back on track...Steven obviously hasn't. So the only thing he brings back is the junky beginning...

Wasn't the junky beginning the best?? ???? I'm not saying I support the crap Steven does. And yes the others have managed to get their lives back on track, but jeez~ what crap music we're stuck with in the meantime! I am not a promoter of drugs, but when you hear bands like the Beatles and how Guns sounded f$%#ed up it kind of makes you wonder...

My dream lineup? The original lineup for Appetite.


Title: Re: If you could pick the band
Post by: awolgnr on April 27, 2006, 02:06:30 AM
Axl on lead vocals
Dizzy on piano/keyboards (but limited, like on UYI he's on about five songs per cd)
Duff McKagan on bass (but he is forbidden to sing!)
Izzy Stradlin -rhythm guitar and backing vocals
Jerry Cantrell -lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals, and occasional lead vocals
Buckethead -lead guitar solos
Josh Freese -drums

Axl should just go solo, and do records with different guest musicians on each song.
