Here Today... Gone To Hell!

If you could ask a GN'R member a question, what would it be?
Excluding Axl, Duff And Slash...



/jarmo

Frank when are you gonna quit and let me have the GnR drummers seat ?
Richard name a new GnR song we haven't heard that you love

Dizzy:  which piano player has beeb your most influance over your career
Richard: what is it like being in a band like gnr and how much pressure does that give you into playing live and or on record.

I'd ask Richard and Frank what it was like rehearsing and putting together the set with Slash and Duff.

I'd like to ask Richard the details of Slash wanting to work with him in the past.

Mellissa, I'd love to hear what you are playing on some of the songs where you are a little hidden under the rest of the band and hear more about what you do. Any chance we could see/hear some video/sound clips of what you are playing in certain songs without the band, just solo by yourself so we can better understand your role and know what to listen for if we want to pinpoint your playing in a song?

Did you do anthing for/on Chinese? Will you be on the next album? Is it true you worked on the CD remix? If so, what did you do? Do you think it will ever see the light of day?

To anyone: please tell us anything you can about new music.

Frank: Is the tempo increase solely your doing, or was it a decision made by the band to increase the tempo on various songs? Many people don't like it and blame it on you, but I'm not so sure it's that simple. (I don't really mind it either way, fwiw)

Frank, You made a switch to Sabian Cymbals. Which series/models do you use? Ps. You are the man!


Melissa, on behalf of HTGTH, Welcome to GN'R! Could you tell us how did you join the band?

Oh you just had to add the excluding bit ;)

In that case I think I'd ask Dizzy what the first day with Slash and Duff back was like. Was it hard to get the chemistry back?

FRANK: Have you talked or reached out to Steven at all? From what I read, I think you would love to see him out there for the appetite songs as much as some of the fans.  Is there anything you can do to help make that happen as long as it doesn't jeopardize his sobriety.
 

Richard: Do you prefer the current 2 guitarists or would you rather go back to the 3 guitarists, and why?

Melissa: please tell us more about your playing and also how did you work your backing vocals (which are great, BTW).

Richard: did you work on the new back to basics arrangements with Slash, did you have to change your setup because of it?

Richard, Frank, and Melissa:

What is it like rounding out the core of the Use Your Illusion lineup?  What was it like watching Axl, Duff, Slash, and Dizzy play music together again?  Was the chemistry immediate between them, and for you?

Richard, Frank, or Melissa :

How much time does the band spend in each other's company when not onstage?

For all of them:

What can you tell us about the rehearsals for the tour? How long did it last? How was it putting the setlist together and new arrangements with Slash and Duff?

What song are you enjoying the most to play live?

My question is for FF... but other user make the question first.

Melissa - What did your parents say when you mentioned that you would be touring with Guns n Roses.

Richard -  As a guitar novice, what advice can you give me into becoming more fluid in changing chords.

Frank, Seeing Queen play the Isle of Wight (saw DJ and Sixx AM too btw) I noticed that Roger Taylor play some songs with the thick end of the sticks to create a heavier tone, is that something you have considered doing with GnR.

Who's idea was the new intro to Better ? (which absolutely rocks imo)

For Dizzy: Do you miss your friend Pitman on the other side of the stage?  ;D

Frank: a couple of years ago you played with Tool on a song or two. If you could invite Danny Carey on stage with GnR for one or two songs! Which GnR song would you choose?

Richard: Whats your favorite GnR song, that you still havent played live.

Fernando: For a future european tour, will you concider booking several places in smaler countrys like Norway, or will it more likely only be the capitals?

Melissa, what would you say... you do here?

Frank - How long has this "reunion" been in the works? Was Sorum or Adler ever in the conversation with Axl about doing anything on this tour?

To anyone: How long did it take to get down 'Coma'? Were you nervous the first time it was played live?

Slash, what was it like working with Richard on the first day of rehersals? 

No questions for Slash!  ;D

^ Ok. So Richard, can you ask Slash what was it like working with you on the first day of rehearsals? :hihi:

Question for Richard: Have you, Axl, Slash & Duff talked about hitting the studio and releasing more Guns N' Roses music together?

For all of them: Are there any GNR songs not in your current set list that you would love to play? 

For all of them: What are the pros and cons of performing under the GNR banner?  How has your life changed? 

For all of them: Have you contacted your counterparts from previous incarnations of GNR for advice? Specifically has Frank talked to Adler/Matt/Brain, Richard talked to Izzy, Melissa talked to Pittman?

Richard: Excluding the current Slash/Duff lineup, which was your favorite lineup to play with while in GNR?

Melissa: Excluding any songs off of CD, what is your favorite GNR track to listen to and what is your favorite track to play live?

That's all I got for now. 

Q: How do you feel the vast majority of the GNR audience perceives you? Do you feel 'part of the band' or 'hired hands'? Does the perception of the crowd to you bother you in any way?

Axl: will we hear Don't Damn Me performed live or any VR material?

Someone over at mygnr found a picture of Richard with a set list. Slither was among the alt. songs.  ;D

yep, saw it. that would be a major gesture by Axl! put your own vocals on it and here we go. just for the fun of it. would be great. I have that slither/if the word mashup in mind. was a great version (--> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOcrMoV9vrU )

haha just saw that and posted about it on the social media thread. pretty interested to see how it sounds.

Hey Guys...

Where's Izzy ?

 :hihi:

ladies and gentlemen mr dizzy reed: of the total amount of songs written for gnr by band members, how many (approximately/percentage wise)actually end up as strong candidates to be included in a future gnr release? can you share anything about the song selection process that hasn't already been shared?

4tus: what is different about your approach when writing music for a guns album vs. for a side project? what is it about a song that makes you go "now that's a guns song!"?

Anyone: Can you share any interesting stories that you've never shared before about any recording sessions you did for guns? Y'know, like how Lenon supposedly got a bj while recording imagine, but not necessarily so raunchy. I heard parts of cd were recorded in some kind of temple and thought that was very interesting.

I know Slash himself is off limits... but how about his guitar tech?

If not, I would be interested to hear if anything has changed between the first 7 shows and the current stadium tour. I know the first few show Slash had moved from using his AFD100 rig that he had been using with Myles to a Silver Jubilee rig (I wasn't crazy about that tone... admittedly that was though mainly youtube clips and audience recordings)... visually it looks like there are AFD (or a traditional looking JCM) heads behind him on stage... I also like his tone in the first two shows I have seen pop up on youtube more so that Vegas and Coachella.

Could you ask Adam about this Stadium Rig.

Thanks
