Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Like did they?

Well so far only The Blues and Catcher in the Rye are piano oriented :P

i think maNY OTHER THE SONGS WILL BE DIFFERENT TYPES (yes i know it was in caps lock ;D) so everyone can enjoy something

I heard one of the new songs is going to have Axl playing the accordion  while singing   .

NO, but I hope 25% are...

how the hell could we know it? ???

I personally hope so, for me there is something about songs that contain a piano and electric guitars.

Lets take a look at what songs by GNR have that contained piano: November Rain, Estranged, Breakdown, Catcher in the Rye, TWAT, Madagascer, The Blues to name but a few. In my mind these are at the very top of GNR's resume!  :smoking:

I don't know if most are going to be piano oriented, but so far I do see many are slow openers... Oh my god so far is the coolest opener... I would love one ycbm, it's so easy, or possibly scom wttj opener ,or even a right next door to hell... That's what's missing for me personally.. I know CD has a harder opening, but the song for me is weak..

I would rather they weren't all piano based. Whilst the songs are beautiful and exceptional. I like to bear in mind that Guns N' Roses are a rock band and need to do just that to rock. So far I'm impressed with Better, IRS and Chinese Democracy - These sound like damn good rock songs and from what I hear 'Prostitute' and 'The General' are hard rockers as well. : ok:

I want the songs to all have something different.  I like piano music and all, and the UYI songs with piano rocked!  But I'm sure that there are a few among us who prefer the music on AFD, with no piano.  I think Axl will try to appeal to all fans, having a different and unique sound for each song.  Especially since we've been waiting so long!  If all the songs sound the same, I probably won't enjoy it as much.  So I'd like to hear piano on some songs, and not hear it on others.   :peace:

no shit  :P

So far there is no piano on Better, Chinese Democracy, and IRS out of the ones that are most likely to be on the record.

That sucks.

axl's solo album or as u people call it GnR CD. lol is going to be over produced. its prolly not going to be that great but u will wership it like its some kind of god. so lets not lie to each other. GnR isnt GnR until at least slash and duff are there. and that will never happen. so as far as axl and teh nu GnR. i dont think there is a NuGnR. its pritty much a solo album, and hes dissrespecting the name with that faggot circus he came out with in 2002. if some one in gnr was dead the would be rolling over in there grave. good thing there not.  :peace:

says who? you? alright... thanx for your time
and btw, why do you have that avatar...?

yeah says me. what of it.

its like james being the only member of metallica on the next album. who the fuck wants that.

i only rep for the real GNR. and the logo is cool. prolly not a offical logo. axl will prolly throw some stupid crap like the 2002 logo to gether. yeah like thats cool. i expect the new album to be over produced. its going to sound like a mess.

not based around it necessarily but melodies Axl wrote prolly originated on one : ok:

CD is gonna definately be a real mixed bag, 13 years of writing is not exaclty gonna follow a consitant theme. This album isn't gonna be "Sea Change".

I am not into the name of this band being called gnr.. people know what you are saying and I agree, motley crue isn't just vince neil, metallica isn't james alone, aerosmith isn't just steven tyler..  I guess if those people are your favorites then that is those bands then.. Once you have replacements replacing replaements then it loses it's magic..  I think age matters as well, f you grew up when afd hit and gnr was there you might only see afd and lies as gnr.. I think, this is just my honest opinion, once your two guitar players leave, then tehir back ups, your bass player go through two drummers then have add ons it's not the same anymore and it shouldn't be acted like it is.. If you got into gnr in 99 then that might be different

I follow this current thing because I am a fan of axl, I follow slash or duff or izzy too even steve when he's around... Just for me the gnr name is important so I pay a little closer attention to it and who is in it or using it..

To me, the name Guns N' Roses made a lot more sense when Tracii Guns and Axl Rose were together.  Band names are important and the band made it big with Axl, Slash, Duff, & co.  However, to be fair, Axl never left the band, the band left Axl.  Legally, he owns the name so it's obvious he'll use it.  The Guns N' Roses name will sell a hell of a lot more tickets and albums than the Axl Rose name.  But, I think Axl wants the public to know that this isn't the same band.  He changed the logo, look, and sound of the band. 

The band broke up... I agree traci was there first but when you are trying to make a band people come n go before you get the group right.... No one in their right mind is going to say traci was gnr, or gardner,... The band is the ones who make the first album...  It is true axl never left the band, but the band broke up no matter hwo you want to look at it, wether it was egos, booze drugs or creative differences, it ended... There's no rule that says a break up has to happen all in one shot, that each member must walk out the same day...  true this is a matter of opiniopn, and axl knows that a band called gnr is going to sell a hell of a lot more then something called axl rose n friends...  GNR is the band you see inside of greatest hits... it's that simple to me...  Many people feel it ended when izzy left..   

To me, it all ended when Slash left.  Slash and Axl were the unique sounds and sights of GNR.

I don't agree that Axl should use the name GNR for this new band, because it's not the band that became famous.  But the truth be told, he's legally entitled to it and has had the name since he and Guns were together.   It's definitely a matter of opinion if we think it's right or not, but he has the authority to do it, so there's not much we can do.   :peace:

Maybe he'll rename the band Chinese Democracy and release a self-titled album.  :yes:

thats funny because what happened with ticket sales for the 02 tour?

just think of how bad it would have been if it wasn't called gnr :hihi:

For something not promoted at all and to have no new material really out (except on my god) since 1991 I think it did rather well, just not enough for mistakes and profit.. NYC n Cali could sell out like nothing just seeing tha name

Would have done about the same....

do we have to get into the name discussion again?

why would you ask this question, IRS, BETTER, TWAT, CHIN DEM are not piano oriented, and even MADAGASCAR does not SOUND LIKE PIANO , keyboards yes, piano no, - so that leaves CITR and THE BLUES, why does 2 out of 7 songs make you think a whole record will be piano?? supid topic? ???

How did this get turned into a 'should Axl use the GNR band name" thread?

becuase the question was completly irelevent, had no basis in fact on any kind whatsoever, and the topic should have been deleted

Well, I guess it was a toss between that or Axl's GN'R vs. Velvet Revolver.

Or Slash vs. Buckethead. Oh, wait...

oh my god , not this again.  :crying:

on topic : my sources tell me there wont be any piano based songs on the 1st release , however the second album will be ALL piano with some scattered cello and flute solo's by richard fortus and an occiasonal "grunt and burp" by robin finck .. I am not sure if my source meant for me to take the "grunt and burp" quote literally or not.

This guy ranks up pretty high though so I dont really queston his statements or motives. Probably Mysteron could have merck confirm it or we can wait for sp1at to verify it.  : ok:

I love Piano, listen to some old good 70's rock, there's a lot of piano in the mix. Have you ever heard the song "hold the line" by Toto? It's on radio KDST (GTA-San Andreas), it kicks ass, there's a lot of piano in the mix. Piano adds "something". It's kinda magic, it sounds class.

I'm 100% with you  on this one.  : ok:
