should Axl try and get John 5 for lead?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Since BH isnt coming back and now Ron Tahl is not going to be the next lead guitarist, what do you think about axl trying to get John 5. He was awesome with Manson.

[phaseONE]

Dave, how about axl getting his finger out of his bum holio and releasing something,
Makes you wonder why all of axls " hired guns " keep leaving doesnt it?
Maybe if axl actually did something instead of stalling, his members might actually stay?

I think axl is just getting himself off, masterbating over what he used to be when guns was on top, i can see all of you hardcore axl fans still sitting around on the forums in 30 years time to be honest and still going on about how the `holy grail ` ( also known as chinese democracy ) will be released in nov 2034 with the new single released in time for december 25th.

Sad but prob true.

stay on topic please.

Just like you do then , eh dave?

Johnny 5 is great, but I don't see Axl hiring him. Manson got rid of him because he was so messed upon drugs. Thats what I heard anyway.

I have heard that too and I know axl doesnt want anyone in the band that is on drugs, but if John is now clean, i think axl should get him. He is great and might even be as good as Bh

If you don't like Axl and don't think CD will come out why are you on this board?

Just ignore his trolling, he is trying to get the post off topic.
Talk about John 5

Im here because i am a guns n roses fan, not just an axl nut swinger, and all in all, the biggest problem with any incarnation of guns has been axl rose, so he needs to get his ass in gear and actually do something productive for a change dont ya think?

[Saul]

I think it says something when nobodys like billy morrison and bumblebee turn down a chance to play with GNR and you have people like navvaro , finck and buckethead leaving and rejoining etc etc .... 

[phaseONE]

Something along the lines maybe of what axl said about slash , but he was really talking about himself?

"whenever anything was close to being good hed just say no it doesnt work and can the whole idea "  " axl is a liar " all that kinda stuff?

Maybe thats whats holding gnr back and causing all of these musicians to quit or not want anything to do with axl and gnr?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

OK back to john 5 now, OK?? Since he is a legit candidate to fill BHs shoes or bucket

[Falcon]

John 5 is a a good player, I love his work with Manson but he's not a "shredder" by any stretch of the imagination, which seems to be the type to fill the void in GNR.

This is your fourth off-topic post in this thread. Stick to the thread or don't post. Thanks.

Guns n' Roses is neither a gothic band nor a metal one. Bring a Rocker. Bring a Rockstar.

[MeanBone]

what's so great about john 5? i could think of so many better than him. he hasn't done anything in MM that was better than ok. i don't see why so many like the guy. does he have a solo project or something that shows him playing really hard stuff? i've MM and i thought it was just boring. and he didn't impress me at all.

[Izzy]

I only have his Manson work to go by....but i wasn't blown away by that. At this stage i just want GNR to show some life and certainly wouldn't be too upset if John 5 joined this circus

[ppbebe]

Not knowing about him well, I may not entitled to voice anything on this topic either, but ?.gothic aside, 2 guys from the Mansion-link?

i could think of so many better than him.

Such as?

Have you heard this solo work? ITs very diverse and great.? I dont think they can get someone like Zakk ( a rocker) to play BHs parts because that is not his style.

[Slipdisc]

John 5 is just as bad a choice for GNR then Wes Borland would have been. These people come from styles of music where the guitar may be very prominent, but prominent in a more rhythmic fashion (even when they are called leadguitarists). In Finck and Fortus they already have players to meet that need. If (!!) a third player is added to the bunch it has to be a true virtuoso to whom playing solos is just as natural as breathing. Like Slash (not my favorite, but undeniably a leadguitarist) or Buckethead?or Thal?.etc?etc, but no glorified rhythm player (who can be excellent in what they do)?really his solowork isn?t on par with Bucket?s or Thal?s?.really not.
