Here Today... Gone To Hell!

for all the people that claim the new band cant play the songs as good as the old. Really should compare them.

If you had just audio of these two, you would not even able to tell the difference. Axl even sounds pretty much the same.

So this whole BS about the new band cant play as well as the old is horse shit.

Of course they can play them. They are all talented musicians. The question is if they can write songs as well as the old band?

Good point. And I think CD will show how great these guys are... and even if CD comes out, and then this line-up is no more, it will go down as one hell of a lineup, and one hell of an album. I think Robin Finck's parts are going to stick out the most on this album, and I think he probably has helped the most..

Please don't do that.? :no:
No use comparing the best rock n' roll band ever (Guns n' Roses) :D with the second coming of the best rock n' roll singer ever (Axl)? :) with a bunch of good (or great, as you wish) musicians (New Guns n' Roses). Axl could hire Hendrix (R.I.P.) and Keith Richards? :o? for his new GN'R and even they could never play Jungle like the boys did.? ?;)? Specially on those two nights in 1991. Specially on the second night of Rock in Rio II, which has got to be one of the best nights ever for Guns n' Roses? :yes: - just check Nightrain? : ok: and You Could be Mine  : ok:   : ok: and Bad Apples? :o? and Mr. Brownstone? 8) and... Jungle? ;D.

This is one of my favourite versions of WTTJ by the new band.

But a tribute band made up of 14 year old kids could play the songs the same way. It isn't all about that, it's about Chemistry and Stage Presence and new gnr will never over take the old in that.

I saw the new band at hammerstein, saw a ton of cover bands play gnr tunes ... theres a big difference.  the new band is good at a concert i really dont think the fans care about whose playing as long as axl is singing, if they ever get cd its till unfair to compare the bands bc the old band made alot of classics that cant be re created, thats why CD will have a completely different sound.

this lineup plays Jungle better than the old, no doubt.   

Yeah... right...
Both bands played it/them differently. Old Guns playd with "im drunk and I dont give a fuck" attitude and the new Guns play them a bit more sterile and "professionally".
They both play them great in their own different ways.

To my personal opinion they have during this European Tour :beer:

anyone can play covers, there' bar bands that can play wttj fine, but could they have wriote it or the instrumentals? Anyone with talent can cover a tune, but could they write the songs? All you have to do is listen to afd and see how many other albums are like it.. Wow 8 guys can play a song done by 5

doesn't mean we can't appreciate this band's version of a song more.   I see no reason to get excited about a lineup that ended years ago, I like whats going on now.

that lineup that ended years ago is the reason the world knows gnr and the one that are staples on every rock station... As they once said on TSI stick with the originals

Mike, I watched my live at the ritz 88 DVD today... Nothing can ever top that show.. Amazing!

Yea, exactly. Im following and barracking for the new line up, but to say they are more compelling than the old is just laughable. They havent even released an album.

yeah one of gnr's best gigs, plus they were still new carrying that fire energy, and passion.. The world was bitten by gnr/afd and they never looked back.. That was something in the moment happening ,something huge going on, 88 afd was #1, scom all over.. Now it's more sentimental and carry over from the past.. back then it took the band to make it, now it's just axl and whoever he wants to hire.. Back then iot was their style and music that brought people to the shows, now it's people trying to see what they heard about years ago..

i love the new intro robin does for WTTJ

honestly i think both versions kick ass new and old
