Title: Nick Steriling hangs out with GN'R (clarification from Bumblefoot). Post by: gunns1 on February 14, 2009, 02:48:27 AM From Bumblefoot:
http://www.bumblefoot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=60729#60729 I've known Nick and his family for years, missed them last month at NAMM, so invited him to hang and jam while he was in town visiting an amp company. I'm sure Nick meant nothing devious or self-serving, he just responded innocently to the guy holding the camera. Nick jammed with me and some of the other members, not the *full* band.

Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: SterileEyes on February 14, 2009, 04:00:38 AM This kid is way too good to do this but if he wants to get himself out there, start his 'professional career', and promote Chinese in the process, more power to him! :beer:
Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: don_vercetti on February 14, 2009, 04:53:43 AM Assuming this isn't just some inside joke, I imagine that they are trying out a number of different guitar players.
And this kid is one of them. And he seems pretty good, has a lot of the hendrix about him (which I believe is what finck always bought to the party). Major classic rock vibe about him. Also he's a pretty boy, which can't be a bad thing. Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: sworrm on February 14, 2009, 05:05:49 AM he sure can play but he doesnt look like a badass rock n roller , cant imagine him having the stage presence of Finck. Really liked some of his licks though

Post by: Tatiana Kudrin on February 14, 2009, 07:07:35 AM he is fuckin immense on guitar, just type him in on youtube... yeah, he's quite good. i don't mind having him in the band even if he's very young. and check out who he's played with. who cares about age when someone's talented? btw, reznor doesn't care! :hihi: Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR?

Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: willow on February 14, 2009, 07:39:35 AM Not bad, Not bad at all. I like the bluesy style he has.
Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: noGnoG on February 14, 2009, 07:40:00 AM THat sounds very good, I would prefer him over Finck anyway (never liked his style). I wonder though if he would fit in the band. Everybody in GNR could have been his dad.
Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: MeanBone on February 14, 2009, 09:06:10 AM he looks like the love child of randy rhoads and sebastian bach.
too chich? for my taste, i think he'd be better off solo. i don't really see him in Gn'R, but stranger things have happened. it's not really up to us to say who's in or out, so we'll see. but i like robin better. Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: dash on February 14, 2009, 09:23:54 AM only for a joke!
GNR are a classic band! The guy doesn't feet in! He can be a good player, but what has he done to deserve to be in GNR? Finck has done a hell of a job to fill Slash spot, and i' m sorry if he can't be there, but don't putt that milk smelling teen in the same stage with Axl Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: don_vercetti on February 14, 2009, 09:55:37 AM Why does Gnr need to have an old man joining? Surely if anything, it would be excellent to get some young blood in, and this guy is a good player. And he's well grounded, he's played with people such as Aerosmith, and people like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.

Post by: Smoking Guns on February 14, 2009, 11:25:40 AM Here is a solo from Zakk when he was in Highschool, though Nick is good, does he have what Zakk had at the same age? I don't think so. Nick is good. Zakk was a badass from day one.

Post by: younggunner on February 14, 2009, 11:58:33 AM Interesting. Rather see him replace Bfoot not Robin.
Cool to see the kid living his dream though. Not going to hold anything against him. Hope he gets the gig and does well. Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: Continental Drift on February 14, 2009, 12:17:01 PM Seems like Axl has not taken kindly to this kind of thing leaking early in the past... so I wouldn't be buying those Nick Sterling GN'R posters just yet. :nervous:
That said- looks like the kid can seriously play and has "the chops" so to speak for GN'R. The #1 preference remains for me is for Robin to come back though. Perhaps Sterling is just a "place holder" until Robin is free to come back or decides to come back? We'll know soon I suppose. PS Hope he doesn't get ID'd at the after parties! :hihi: Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling.

I still think just about any quality guitarist you can think of would take a crack at auditioning for GN'R if they could... especially with Chinese Democracy out and no more recording sagas to go through.

Or what happened to Paul Huge? What lead player other than Bumble has "worked" with GNR? The thing w/Zakk and Axl was a misunderstanding. Axl thought Zakk was demanding his own seperate tour buss or something along the lines of that. Zakk has had nothing but great things to say about Axl in every interview where Axl is mentioned. As for Bucket and Robin telling Axl to fuck off, I'm not sure. I imagine just leaving is kind-of saying "Fuck Off" but I don't think it's as cut and dry as that. I know Bucket was having problems w/other members of the band(the fist fight that almost broke out w/Robin, and the comments Tommy has made regarding how happy he was that Bucket was gone). I also know for a fact he (or at least his management) was concerned about how GNR would affect his image. His manager basically talked shit to me about Axl and the band in 2002 when the tour was just starting out. -= iZzbO =- Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling.

Or what happened to Paul Huge? What lead player other than Bumble has "worked" with GNR? Don't think Zakk Wyld told Axl to fuck off. It was more like Slash told Zakk to fuck off (figuratively- not literally) IMHO. I thought I heard that the basic fallout was that Slash and Zakk had a lot of respect for other and even enjoy playing together- BUT NOT together in Guns N' Roses as Slash viewed it ultimately (after the try out) as a "one lead" gig. I thought I remember that Axl was more neutral about the whole thing and remarked that having the two of them together was "interesting" and like witnessing godzilla v. a T-Rex or something. :hihi: Otherwise, in Axl's defense- you're not exactly talking about the most stable of people here. Robin Finck (as much as I love him) can't decide if he's Elvis, ZZ Top or a Dead Storm Trooper and watches TV in a closet. Buckethead is... well... Buckethead. Izzy apparently wanted out for his own self-preservation b/c he wasn't comfortable with how big the band got. Paul Huge didn't like playing in front of big crowds or something. Yadda... Yadda... Yadda... I'm sure there's a "buyer beware" type reputation amongst guitarists when it comes to auditioning/joining GN'R- but the chance to be the next Bumblefoot (i.e. lead guitarist who gets along well with Axl, appears on GN'R albums, tours, gets exposure with fans who then get into his solo stuff, etc.) probably justifies the risk for most...

What matters now is that Axl hit the road with a professional band that can present this monster and complex album in expert fashion. The less "behind the scenes" bullshit and band conflict, etc... the better IMHO. Most casual rock fans (i.e. the ticket buying public) have probably long ago given up trying to keep up with all the line-up intrigue in Guns N' Roses. Just give 'em a great show. That's what counts.

Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: gilee7 on February 14, 2009, 03:45:28 PM I haven't watched any youtube videos of the guy playing yet, but based on what some of you guys have said, he must be pretty damn good. Some of you guys may think he looks too squeaky clean (my first thought was, 'Hey, it's Sebastian Bach's son!'), but if the kid can play, I think this could be a great move by the band. I think it would prove that the love of GNR spans all generations. I'm 21 myself, so the idea of an 18-year-old in GNR is like, man, that could be me!!! (If only I could play guitar, that is.)
His addition would certainly make headlines. Right now some people dismiss GNR as "old," so his addition might spark new interest in the band. He's a pretty boy so teenaged girls might be turned onto new GNR, which was part of the reason GNR was so popular in their prime: Axl in his bicicyle shorts singing songs like "SCOM" and "Patience." Also, he could be like the son Axl never had. And by him being just a kid, I don't think he'd turn into a disrespectul dickhead. He could contribute to the band and Axl's vision without causing problems. And if the kid is a really amazing player, it'd be like Axl discovering and presenting another amazing talent to the rest of the world. Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling.

Just saying... Did he now? Can you post a link to an article where Zakk said he would never play for an asshole like Axl?

Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: faldor on February 14, 2009, 06:24:52 PM Nick sure does have talent. At least it confirms they are in fact rehearsing right now in LA with Brain. Absolutely, anything to get them on the road so I can see them in action again. I'd prefer Bucket or Robin to return, but if not this kid's fine with me. Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling. Post by: Annie on February 14, 2009, 06:26:34 PM I haven't watched any youtube videos of the guy playing yet, but based on what some of you guys have said, he must be pretty damn good. Some of you guys may think he looks too squeaky clean (my first thought was, 'Hey, it's Sebastian Bach's son!'), but if the kid can play, I think this could be a great move by the band. I think it would prove that the love of GNR spans all generations. I'm 21 myself, so the idea of an 18-year-old in GNR is like, man, that could be me!!! (If only I could play guitar, that is.) My thoughts exactly.His addition would certainly make headlines. Right now some people dismiss GNR as "old," so his addition might spark new interest in the band. He's a pretty boy so teenaged girls might be turned onto new GNR, which was part of the reason GNR was so popular in their prime: Axl in his bicicyle shorts singing songs like "SCOM" and "Patience." Also, he could be like the son Axl never had. And by him being just a kid, I don't think he'd turn into a disrespectul dickhead. He could contribute to the band and Axl's vision without causing problems. And if the kid is a really amazing player, it'd be like Axl discovering and presenting another amazing talent to the rest of the world. Title: Re: a new guitarist for GnR? Nick Steriling.

Post by: Regibold on February 14, 2009, 07:18:27 PM I think this is pretty awesome, would be pretty curious to see what this guy could bring to the GNR table if he were hired. People have to realize, the days of old are gone, and GNR no longer has a dedicated specific lineup. It's not about who was in what genre before they were hired on, it's whether or not they can play the material at hand, enjoy playing it, and can play with genuine feel. GNR is not about age, race, etc...etc... GNR is a universal group of people that produce music and do it well.

The again in that sentence hints at a similar thing that they did in 2006 when Izzy guested at some shows when he felt like it.

u cannot compare Buckethead to this guy bucket was intriguing and mysterious. His look garnered attention and buzz this kid is a great player but he is just too innocent looking etc. but, if Eddie Van Halen can get his young son to play bass....... why not. I don't really care who they would get, all i can ask for is a stable, non revolving lineup for awhile. so whoever, I pray they don't have 2 million side projects and all that other stuff. Title: Re: Nick Steriling hangs out with GN'R (clarification from Bumblefoot). Post by: BatVin on February 15, 2009, 08:02:35 AM I agree with Jarmo.
I think that guitar players in GNR could be in 3 categories Bumblefoot/Buckethead Richrad Fortus/Izzy/Paul Tobias Nick Sterling(yes,I know he has propably nothing to do with GNR but I still hope),Slash,Robin Finck They need 1 guitarist from all 3 categories for tour, so I would love to see something like Nick - Richard - Bumble (sorry but I can't imagine Bumblefoot and Buckethead on one stage together) Nick is only 18 it's only one reason, why he is not able to play with GNR. But in fact it means only that he propably won't die soon, It has nothing to do with his guitar playin which is excelent. His look is fine, It would bring new fans. He can play the blues, it would perfectly fit withc old slash's stuff and it could bring something new for current GNR-lineup.His stage performance is amazing, he's so fuckin' charismatic..he's wild,he's badass, he's like 80s/90s rock star.He also already has great songwriting skills.And technically?When he was 14, he was able to play Satriani.I play guitar too and I can honesly say that he's really, really good. It seems to me like he would be perfect in GNR. Title: Re: Nick Steriling hangs out with GN'R (clarification from Bumblefoot).

Post by: ppbebe on February 15, 2009, 03:40:09 PM Hi there guys Long time lurker, first time poster. Here comes a clarification on the whole "Nick Sterling in GNR" thing : Quote from: 'Bumblefoot' I've known Nick and his family for years, missed them last month at NAMM, so invited him to hang and jam while he was in town visiting an amp company. I'm sure Nick meant nothing devious or self-serving, he just responded innocently to the guy holding the camera. And there you have it. : ok: thanks a lot. It's just us being too nosy and busy. seemingly almost everybody likes nick tho. regardless hope they had/are having a great time at the studio.

I have started threads and people throw out percentages just off the top of their heads without really sitting down and making it full on mathematical. Guitar solo wise, I do like 75 percent of the solos. If we are talking guitar riff wise, yeah, u probably can reverse that. The thing that still lacks on CD for me, is the guitar riff. It is a lot of nu metalish power chord riffing. so yeah, power chord progressions with Axl singing over them isn't what I really expect from a guitar band like GNR If u think about it, Rhiad has a pretty cool riff but where most of the songs are piano ballads, there aren't a shit ton of Guitar riffs to speak of. CD riff is ok.. kind of grungy for my taste, I find the whole Better intro annoying, IRS has no riff to speak of, Scraped is cool, Rhiad is cool although Im not a big fan of the song. If The World is great other than that, the solos are really the meat and potatoes of the guitar playing on the album and I like 75 percent of the solos the other guitar stuff, not as much. now everyone start your flaming stuff I know I know, I am a Myspace guitar player so how dare I say anything I know I know, I am just some random hater guy I know I know whatever...........

And please, tune your guitar half step down. Source: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=46247.0 I wouldn't call this a mere power chords. Scraped has a riff going on within the rythm (more like WTTJ), not just some power chords progression. IRS has a lot of riffs throughout the song by Ron and some by Richard. Also, Paul Tobias plays some chorus-driven rhythm guitar. Title: Re: Nick Steriling hangs out with GN'R (clarification from Bumblefoot).

I love Riad's riff, but you don't seem to agree. yeah, and i was referring to the main rhythm parts. Using yourself as a source isnt exactly credible. Those are the main rhythm chords. Try it and you'll see it. I didn't pretend to put a source to make it sounding more credible, but just from where I took it. Hell, just watch any 2006 bootleg and you'll see Robin playing those chords. You make it seem like theres something wrong with power chords. Your tabs aside, every other tab expresses the rhythm parts as power chords. Watch them play it live, power chords. Just try my tab. Those tabs you're talking about all get it wrong, just like the intro. Watch Hammerstein May 12th and you'll see Robin playing. Ron Thal played simple power chords, tho, because he was using a regular tuned guitar, I believe. And I don't see anything wrong with power chords. I'm just pointing out that there is more going on than just power chords. Arguing about not using power chords in a rock song is totally ignorant of the whole basis of rock music in general Im not arguing anything. Its just that all those songs are full of riffs and licks along with regular power chords. It is totally ignorant, yes, to judge a song by the use of this type of chord. Or to not recognize when there's no power chord at all.Title: Re: Nick Steriling hangs out with GN'R (clarification from Bumblefoot).

Post by: Bodhi on February 16, 2009, 03:53:50 PM I really hope they bring this kid out there on the road with them....He seems like a great player...of course I would like to hear what he sounds like with the rest of the band..but the skills are there.... : ok:

Too young! how old should you be to hang out with some of GNR members? ??? old enough to get hammered i guess ;D I have nothing against his age, I know some guys who would have been ready to take over the world at the age of 16. I'm just concerned about his attitude (the lack of it). He seems like a guy who would play classical music rather than be in a rock 'n roll band.

I'm not saying that's what he is, and I know classically trained people have played in bands before. I don't know, I guess it's just a feeling I got from watching the video.

Buckethead is a star wars geek, and he had no problem being in a rock n roll band... Title: Re: Nick Steriling hangs out with GN'R (clarification from Bumblefoot). Post by: cotis on February 17, 2009, 11:07:21 AM Kid has skills, there's no doubting that. I personally wouldn't like seeing him on stage with GNR if it came down to it though.

Post by: C0ma on February 17, 2009, 09:24:24 PM great...but...I cant picture him on stage with GNR I know what you mean... they certainly don't have room for a normal looking kid playing guitar. Maybe if looked like a homeless circus performer or wore a Burger King Crown and a Chuckie mask then you could picture him?
