Here Today... Gone To Hell!

..... So here's what you get, from Hollywood, Guns N' Roses!


That's the way it was done in the early 90s and that's how it can be heard on Live Era.. But since it's 2007, they had to change it to "Velvet Revolver".

Call me a fucking hater, but that made me laugh out loud. They used the same intro as the one on Live Era.  :rofl:






/jarmo

Yeah, Velvett Revolver dosnt flow as much as Guns...AND...ROSES!

They were gonna scrap the old GNR songs, but the intro from the UYI is still there!  :hihi:

They used it on the last tour sometimes as well i seem to remember it on a CD

Its the same Roadie from what i remember

Duffs is it?

Yeah, they've been using the same intros GN'R did in the 90s.


It's Mike Mayhue, Duff's bass tech.




/jarmo

lol wouldnt it be pricless if he accidentally was like "Guns N' Ro.... shit.....Velvet Revolver!!!* hahahaha

You wanted the best admin....Well, he didn't fucking make it! So here's who you get, from Sweden.... Jarmo!

That makes no sense.  :P


I thought somebody had put the Live Era audio up by mistake.... Until I heard him say Velvet Revolver.  :nervous:



/jarmo

It made sense to me.  :nervous:

And yeah, it sounds weird with Velvet. When I was watching the stream, I kind of chuckled. Get your own gimmick.

Yeah... so since it's Mike Mayhue's saying and not Guns N' Roses ... why do you give a shit eh ?

Picky fucker.

Because it's fucking funny. That's why.

Obviously you don't associate that with GN'R like many others.


Why don't you just... Piss off!




/jarmo

Hehe. "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE MOTHAFU... Err, I mean...um, do it for the kids?"  :hihi:

Didn't GNR steal the original from Kiss?

"You wanted the best, you got the best.  the hottest band in the land KISS".

HAHAHA Yeah it dosnt compare well.
"Do you know where the fuck you are?!"
"WenttoofastandouttaluckandIdontreallygiveaFuck!"
"........"

Shouldnt that be "why dont you just ... Fuck Off!"

or would that not be original ?:P

Yes, that's it. GN'R's one was a response to that I guess.  :hihi:



Scotty boy likes to improvise I guess....


/jarmo

Boo Hoo.

At least Velvet Revolver is releasing a fucking album.

Correct, I'm suprised anyone would associate that with GN'R instead of Kiss... unless you've been oblivious to the joke. ?Kiss changed it to "hottest band in the world" after a few years, I'm not really sure why? ?

Anyways, shame on VR for trying to live off the past! ?:confused: ?I'm sure before the next tour Slash will have an interview where he states "we're going to use that intro for the people in these countries because they haven't heard it yet, but we will phase it out once we start touring in North America"

Good to see youre still laughing from the last time you made this point...


I assume the lack of good GNR news has motivated you to pay attention to VR again, but your "humorous" observation is about as fresh as their intro.

Ya, I've never really associated that with GNR/VR, always a KISS thing for me. 

2 bands paying homage to those who came before in my eyes.

Maybe because the one used by GN'R wasn't exactly like the one KISS used and it can be heard on the only GN'R live record...  ::)

Maybe if you never listened to GN'R in the first place, you don't associate that intro with GN'R and Live Era.



Some people expect Axl to sing "OK, never mind" during The Blues. I'm not gonna tell you why, it's up to you to find out and this isn't the GN'R section.




Glad we agree that the VR intro is old and dated.


No, I was checking Blabbermouth for general music news, clicked the VR video link for fun and I thought I was listening to Live Era for a second or three.





/jarmo

Yeah, it's lame that I need to point out three years later that they're still using things used back in the GN'R days.....

 :hihi:



/jarmo

Just when I thought the Gnr/vr comparison threads couldn't get any more pathetic...
We all agree that it's silly that they use that intro happy now Jarmo?

And falcon why are you allowing this thread to stay open? I thought you were against the Gnr vr comarisons?

They need to do things like this, play covers, talk shit about Axl, use the same intro... because the only thing they have to offer to the few GNR fans that became VR fans [I think that is obvious that VR has no ''true'' fans, I mean, do you know a VR fan since ''Contraband'' that, for example, dont know the illusions?] is nostalgia. After that intro you automatically think in ''Nightrain'' sang by Axl, or ''It's So Easy''... and now you get a sleeping pill like ''Do It For The Kids'' (in the best of the cases) or ''Let It Roll''.

Tomorrow we will see VR with Scott Weiland entering the stage with a scoth skirt, a bandana and sunglasses... oops, he already did that in halloween...

well duff and slash helped write the gnr songs they play and scott helped write the stp tunes then they play a couple other covers. no differnet then the current GnR who play kohd and lald every show and then 12 or so "covers" by your definition....i dont really see the difference myself

as for the topic at hand....yeah jarmo i think the old gnr live intro is pretty lame as well...but hey its a nostalgic thing i guess so why not....everythign is nostalgia these days

There's no comparison.  :confused:



I just don't get the way of thinking here. To use the same exactly intro he used for another band 15 years ago.

If the band had the same name, then I could understand why. Like in KISS' case.



Maybe it's the best intro material he came up with over the last 20 years and he decided to keep using it....


Did he use it for Loaded as well?




/jarmo

I used comparison for lack of a better word and I actually agree with you that it's pretty lame that they are still using it but that doesn't change the fact that this thread is nothing else then just another jab at VR

Your all forgettin one thing. Its duffs tech, the same guy who did it for guns. There fore the band ask him to introduce em each night. Im pretty sure he says different things but its down to him how he introduces them.

Ya it's ran it's course.

Same shit different thread.

True.

But it's amusing since this is a "new" band with their own identity.....

Maybe if you never cared for GN'R in the first place, and don't associate things like "the most dangerous band in the world" or "you wanted the best, well they didn't fucking make it..." with GN'R, I guess then you don't find the similarities somewhat amusing.....
