What do you think the band needs?

[Mikkamakka]

Quit fucking psycho analyzing the guy. You guys don't know him and have no idea why he hasn't released a record. Maybe it has simply taken him a decade to figure out what kind of record HE wants to make. I love it when people say he needed or needs? Slash, Izzy, Duff, et al..he wasn't happy with what they recorded after UYI and he evidently still isn't happy with all the new material recorded. All these musicians are great-none of them are really better or worse than the others (old band vs new band). Axl simply has something in his mind that HE wants and it won't be released until HE is satisfied. He released AFD, UYI, and Lies because he was still hungry and needed to build his financial fortune. Once the UYI tour ended and he was set, no one was going to tell him what to do and no one has since.

I'm afraid Axl doesn't know what to do. That's the biggest problem of Nu-GN'R.

I wanted to open this thread for a while. This thread if for YOU: Here is the debate:
Musically speaking, What are your ideas and suggestions to improve the new-band? What interesting things do you think they should do?

1)---> a "blues jam" somewhere during the show. They should take 5 minutes (instead of Buckethead solos part now he is gone) and make a total improvisation, a real blues-Rock jam, Axl on piano, Dizzy on piano/organ/harmonica, fortus and finck making "battles" of <a? style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=guitar" onmouseover="window.status='guitar'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">guitar</a> solos, tommy on bass and brain on drums. It would be amazing. The public LOVES when a band jams. It definitely improves the human aspect of a band. They should show they are tight.
2)---> Fortus and Finck should play <a? style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=accoustic%20guitars" onmouseover="window.status='accoustic guitars'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">accoustic guitars</a> back to back during an accoustic song (on "patience" or on a new song).

And....that's it for me. Don't change the rest, it's great. What are your ideas?

The original line-up would be good, and a frickin albumn 4 Gods sake

Answer  is obvious: release a new album. Period.

what does the band need?? well....doing something would be a good start...i don't care if they sit on a stage and pick their noses...at least it will be more than they've done in the last few years...worthless bastards

[slash4ever]

A frickin album for Gods sake!!!

[mrlee]

a re-union tour, then once people recognise them again. Release the album, axl can have his new GNR back and sales will be fairly high. If then the album is good im sure fame and money will come there way once more.

Fame and money!  Yes!  That's what Axl needs!      Those 2 damn entities are probably the 2 biggest roadblocks to us seeing Chinese Democracy.   

Also, a "reunion tour" is the most laughable concept I've ever heard.  If they do get back together (which they won't) they should have a tour starting on the Israel/Palestine border, with a crowd filled with half Islamic fundamentalists and half Orthodox Jews.  That way, everyone in the arena, performers included, will be trying to kill each other.

What they need is regular press releases, stating how the album is getting along and who is involved etc. That would put a stop to all the false hear-say and speculation that has been floatin around ever since the original members left the band a while back.

As cynical as it sounds GNR needs Axl to become a man again....to become unaware of celebrity, to be his own man and fall in love with creativity, and not dwell on the fame.

They also need equally strong male components who can stand up to Axl to the point of physical threats....no yes men, no L.A drones......real guys, making a real band out of mutual respect, talent and equal imput.

Couldn't have said it better myself..he needs guys to have his back, call a spade a spade and give him the shove he needs.
Disco mate, that Ozzy air is good for the brain
