A Guns N Roses tribute band have said they expect to boycott tracks from the band's forthcoming album 'Chinese Democracy' because they won't compare well with the band's classics.

Although not ruling out covers altogether UK Guns N' Roses are not hopeful about the much-delayed album, which will eventually be released on November 24.

"We're undecided as to whether or not we play any of the new Guns material next year as we feel it probably won't be anywhere near the work by the original, and best line-up (in our humble opinion)," they explained in a mailout. "So we're thinking of naming the New Year tour the 'Stick To Your Guns Tour 09'."

What a bunch of a-holes

Get these parasitic no talent fucking loser dick suckers out of here

meh fuck'em

They're a good tribute band.I bet they'll change their minds after hearing the album.

Yeah? Cool.

in fact they just can't play the new songs, that's too difficult for them.

Tribute bands are the scum of the earth. Lamest shit ever.

Do your own music instead of living off someone else.

What an original name.  ::)

Hahaha, pathetic fucks. They're in for a surprise, although they would never admit to it.
Close-minded, talentless parasites like that are a shame and disgrace to the name Guns N' Roses.

Why does anybody care what a tribute band plays...

Because those imbeciles generated bad press for GN'R on NME.

Fuck these clowns...

They probably wouldn't even be able to play those songs, those talentless poseurs.

What a bunch of douchebags.   

They've already determined the songs are inferior and they haven't even given them a chance.

If this GNR cover band is like other ones I've heard, they too are probably unaware that the Illusions came out..Most of these hacks setlists only include Appetite and maybe they will throw "you could be mine" in, they never attempt any of the more complicated stuff...which is why they hate this record right off the bat...

When i saw them they played estranged, november rain and YCBM but that was about it off the illusion albums.They also played move to the city which i thought was pretty cool.

yeah, the arian brotherhood and child molestors aint nothing compared to tribute bands

musically speaking num nuts : ok:

tribute bands (rip offs) do not need to blow smoke about why they are not playing 'new stuff'...it's because they can't.  :crying:  It is a lot easier to mimic Slash/Izzy/Duff/Steve (Gilby, Matt...) than it is to try and copy Buckethead/Bumblefoot/Fortus/Finke/Stinson with Dizzy + Pitman playing keyboard.  With respect to Brain or Frank, its not that hard to rip off someones drum work convincingly/passable.

Its like a fat guy boycotting marathons because they are not a true test of his ability.

you said nuts :hihi:

 ;)

Tribute "We want to play music but we can't make any so we mimic someone else" Band.

Probably because they'd be incapable of playing the new songs

LAME.

i wouldn't see these guys anyway...
i saw some clips of some tribute band playing some of the new GNR songs and they weren't bad. they even had a buckethead!

Well who cares? Haha, I think it's funny :D

"GNR Fans to boycott "inferior" Guns N' Roses Tribute band"

:D

I find it easier at times to play blistering runs like bucket head rather then emulate Slash's often unique phrasing....  Maybe I am alone on this.  Plus Bumble's solo's don't grab me at all.  Its just a wank fest.

This has to be one of the funniest threads here......I agree with the statements about the musicians who play in tribute bands that can't write their own material. (Maybe that might not apply to all of them but it is true that after a certain age if you're not attempting to write your own stuff you're probably in a cover band or a tribute band!!!! lolo)
And to come out and say something like that is absurd.......The real truth of it is that if you are a A+ tribute band and are that good you will learn the new material of the band you're tributing. The reason is that A+ tribute bands make anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 a night!!! So I doubt those bands would say something like that as far as learning new tunes from the artist they are tributing......unless they are below the A+ category.......... :beer:

A GNR Tribute band that played the new stuff would need like 14 members!
