Here Today... Gone To Hell!

do you think that a guns n roses album produced with a rap star would be anygood? and yes i kno chinese democracy is not out but im jus saying.

elton john was thinking of producing an album with rappers like eminem and dr dre etc.

do you guys think axl n co would make a good record or a single with any rap star?

i remember axl sang 'it tastes good dont it'? and that was pretty cool

what do you guys think?

I would label the bands sell outs and never think of Axl cool again.

^^^agreeed.  also, they would no longer be my favorite band, or even a band i like.

PLEASE GOD NO!!! NEVER!!!
I hope this would never happen! I cant stand todays rap music. If you want a rap mix maybe you could pay a dj to make a mash of a song. That would hopefully be the only way Axl appears with a rapper.

No way......

Axl can only jam with snoop by my rules. lol.. maybe eminem... cuz i mean, some of those Rock/Rap songs with guitar and shit are awesome!

But.. i agree rap is horrendous now

If GN'R produced an album with with a rap star.. it would be an all time low..

Even though I wouldn't want it, I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world. If you listen to some of the lyrics of various rap stars, there's some good writing there. Most are crap, but some are quite good.
GnR, and more importantly Axl, doesn't care what you think sounds good. He's playing what he likes, and if you happen to like it, well then that's great. If not, well...

If he did, it'd be Shaq.

My World wasn't bad enough?

Jesus fucking Christ on the cross!  When will you guys lighten up.  I can understand some people not liking My World because their ears aren't trained for that kind of music, but it's a really cool original song.  Its the closest old GnR got to having a "Pitman" sound.

Mark my words.  Axl will one day share the stage with Eminem.

So he's not allowed to not like it? I happen to think it's one of the worst songs ever. Funny how the best and worst song of all time could be within 3 songs of each other on the same album. ::)

It seems like it would be a bad idea, but what about when Aerosmith and Run DMC created the remake of Walk This Way? That was pretty cool.

Please God no rap!

No, it's fine if you don't like it.  Just keep it to yourself.  What's the point in everyone posting negative comments about the songs they don't like?  Just post about ones you like and shut up about the rest.  If you're really a fan, act like it. 

Don't even try and say "real fans" don't ever complain or have a right to dislike a few songs.

A rock album should be produced by someone who knows about rock music. A rap star producing Chinese Democracy is like hiring a plumber to do electrical work.

No dude.  You can hate as much as you want.  I just don't understand why you feel the need to share your negativity with everyone else.  Write all your negative comments down in a journal.  Post your positive ones here... on this fan site.

NO!!!!!!!!!! :nervous: please NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing wrong with fans discussing the ups and dows of their favorite songs.  If you can't handle the truth, uh, actually, stay right here....

I'd love to see that! I've always said an Eminem n' GnR tour would 'pwn'.

Does anyone remember when Eminem got dressed up as Axl, and his band members got dressed up as buckethead and Slash and they performed some material.  Hilarious.  I actually think Eminem respects Axl.

i dunno about this... i don't like the idea and probably wouldn't get it.

It would suck and I can't see Axl doing that. :rant:

That would be cool. Axl and Izzy being huge rap fans that they are.

Axl and Nas would be really cool.

If this happens I'm definitely putting in my papers.

Wow, just because they put out some experimental material?

Harsh.

Axl should no better, the braids were a bad enough trip into the seedy world of Hip-Hop, and anyone here who remembers what NU-Metal was like should quiver like myself at the thought.

erm, i don't think so.  could be a disaster for the band.  just my opinion of course. :beer:

What's the story with all the hating of My World round here? I liked it, not as a song, cause it clearly wasn't, but as something different to listen to that you just don't find on any album these days, it's fucking top notch.  : ok:

HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK OF THAT?????
no way that would just be wrong, but i was looking at this geffen thing,which is the label guns n roses were(but i dont know if they still are), sighned to...and 'the game' was sighned to the same label so unfortunetly it could be possible!#

i never knew they liked rap?!

i would burn every gnr cd i have never listen to them again and send guns hate mail for fucking destroying the band.

I can?t believe things have come to talking about such ridiculous crap like this.
Get a grip.

Um, Dr. Dre is black.

I don't mind some classic hip hop but if Axl jumps on the rap bandwagon it would be a total joke.

Not only would it be "cashing in" but he would also probably be majorly ridiculed by the media.

That was the big rumor a few years ago.

indeed he is, but what do you mean by that? ::)

on topic:
maybe on a collebartion on a song but not a whole album ?:no:

Yeah, I don't understand that comment either??  By the way Merck NOW AKA, the word 'Beeing' in your signature should be spelled BEING.  Sorry, I'm a grammar and spelling freak and figured you would at least want it spelled right if it appears in all of your posts.

Anyway back to the topic, in 2002 I could have seen Axl doing some shit with a rapper or two.  I mean he wore the sports jerseys and warm up pants, which isn't exactly rock n' roll and more of a hip-hop thing.  Look at what Scott Weiland is doing with Pharrell Williams for his solo album.  If Axl did the same thing with GN'R and wrote a couple songs with Pharrell Williams like Weiland did, everyone here would stop listening to GN'R??  I don't want to ever see Axl do a rap album or shit like that and I hope he never fucking raps in his life (For the rest of it anyways), but I'm all for change.  It could actually make for an interesting record if Pharrell Wiliams produced a few GN'R songs.  It doesn't mean they will be rap songs or sound like rap songs, but it would just be different than what GN'R usually does.

I wouldn't hate the band if something like that happened like so many have said already.  Axl can do whatever he wants and I don't care what he does as long as it doesn't suck.  Axl rapping would suck.  GN'R PRODUCING an album with a rap star might be pretty good.

Here is Axl rapping...and it does not suck. : ok:

Guns n Roses doing "It Tastes Good, Don't It"  July 7th, 1988

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4805497586174890545&q=guns+n+roses&hl=en

Believe me, I've heard that song a thousand times and I have every different version of it available. 

Axl rapping WOULD SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Doing a quick rap in the middle of song is different than making a rap song with a rapper.  Axl rapping would suck.  He's not a fucking rapper, he's a rocker.  I never once said, "Axl sucks at rapping."  The idea of it sucks.  Do I need to explain it further.

Axl's great at everything he does, RAPPING INCLUDED.  If you're not prepared to support him in his artistic endeavors, then you can't call yourself a fan.

Let' see if guns can finnish their own album (and release it) before we think of releasing a fuckin rap album.

Dec 19 it's comming. Baby !

An entire GNR album with a rap flavor? No thanks. But a few tracks in collaboration with a rapper? Could be good. Ice-T's Body Count could have worked if the band wasn't so musically retarded, and Public Enemy have done a couple of decent rock influenced (in fact, quite Buckethead flavored) tracks on the last couple of albums.

I could see it working out if the right people were involved. I know that the whole nu-metal thing has already been brought up as an example of why it would be a horrible idea, but I would contend that the reason that nu-metal is so horrendous has more to do with lack of talent than a fundamental flaw in the idea.

Faith No More is about as rap as im willing to get

I think it depends on the rapper - I think Eminem would be a good fit for him - otherwise forget it.

How many of you have considered the possibility of a rap producer producing something other than rap? I'm not referencing Axl's foray into that genre with "It Tastes Good Don't It"; the title of this thread refers to the production of an album. I think it's a given that we don't want nor will Chinese Democracy be a rap album...

I don't know of any rap producers who have produced any rock albums, however; thus, I don't feel it would be appropriate for me to even speculate about how someone such as an Eminem or a Dr. Dre would produce one because I don't listen to rap. My assumption is that it'd be bass heavy and have louder vocals in the mix.

But... if you still don't like the idea of that, what's the point in upsetting yourself over something that likely won't happen? A potentially reasonable discussion tends to go awry with such negativity and pessimism.

I think this guy is Pitman or maybe his overbearing mother

I'll take anything.

Bring on Eminem : ok: :beer: :smoking:

I just happen to have extremely great taste in music.  That's why I'm a fan of today's Guns N' Roses.  And who's at the center of that crazy, funky electro-beats?  One guy... Chris "Mother Goose" Pitman.  Not only does he write and peform songs, but he's also the "sound designer."

Axl's a rap fan...  I can't imagine him turning it down if someone he likes (rap artist) asked him about it and gave him a good offer...  but I personally don't think it be a "good thing" but not necessarily a bad thing either.

Dude you sound more and more like a tool each time you post. If someone doesn't love a song its their right to post what parts they dislike and what parts then do like. A "real" fan or whatever you want to call do not like everything jammed down their throat.

ha.. he's takin the piss dude, if you can't tell.  its one of the eatmysilkworms guys.  :peace:
