More Duff on the songwriting thing..

[jimmythegent]

the only reason why duff isnt the biggest loser ever in gnr is because steven adler talks like a retard now.

Oh dear, people who post this kind of drivel really have no idea or respect for the GN'R legacy in my opinion

[AxlFink]

oh dear?

I think duff is cool, he's always been funny and no single person has probably betterd them selves since gnr then duff.. The man did a complete 180 and now looks great, plus he was in gnr the longest besides axl, so he can't be that bad..

You don't have to like his work, but at least he's gone out there and did stuff..

[Intercourse]

look at what bumblefoot said, no mention of VR allowed to Axl...no sense of humor there, at least Duff  has one.
Jeez some of you need to loosen up, maybe after ten years the guys can actually laugh about the whole thing and see the funny side.

[ppbebe]

Geez, Intercourse !!
My Fellow fan, Don?t be a dupe.
You believe that? bumble? In my opinion, He is a full of shit.
How he knows that?? Read them.

It was in his first post, but anyway I'll take the idot comment back.? Sorry.

Oops, My bad. That?s decent, Dude.
To be Cheekier I?m going to destroy the trace of my lost bet.?

[AxlFink]

what did bumblefoot say?

[bolton]

he said that he heard some gnr songs,and gnr still do one new album...
i think that this guy is leayer,because when he said that he was conection with gnr menagment,his board was full of gnr and rnr fans

[Taz]

Good to see misquotes get cleared up from the man himself.

Plus - "'my world' is still one of my favorite songs!!!"
What a cool thing for Duff to say!

The Axl's ambition of doing "experimental" music meant the end of Guns N'Roses as a band. "My World" on UYI 2 is not only the last "song" on the record, it is also the "song" which meant the end of GN'R.


If Axl wanted to do experiments, he should have had a side band. Guns N'Roses wasn't the right place to do that kind of music...


"Songs" like "Oh my god", "Silkworms" or "My World" can't be considered as GN'R songs !

I'm happy to read Duff thinks otherwise and consider OMG? a great song !?
And I'm happy he made that statement too ! That's really being respectful of his fans !

And please get over the side band stuff ... it's really getting old and ridiculous !?

Do you know what really is ridiculous ?

Taking 10 years to make an album is ridiculous.

And saying that "Oh my god" is a great song is ridiculous too.

Besides, the other songs which are not so bad (Madagascar, The Blues) are not Guns N'Roses songs either.
Just Axl Rose' songs !

Oh for fucks sake! I think Im a pretty chilled out person but boy are you annoying. I know that everyone is entitled to an opinion but either you are just winding us all up with these comments, or you really ent got a clue!! If you are really that enraged with Axl and that convinced that he is now a solo act why do you use this site? I love this message board because we get so many different threads that are varied and constructive, but you always seem to ruin them

[ppbebe]

Do you know what really is ridiculous ?

Yes, we do. Saying that Axl is dead n Guns N' Roses R.I.P. (1985-1996)

and yet talking bout Axl n GNR is more than ridiculous.

  Stick to your own guns. There?s no Axl for ya. There?s no GNR for ya.
He changes coz he?s alive and kicking. This is what's called METABOLISM.
If you haven?t changed since 1996, I'm afraid YOU're the DEAD.
Vindictive spirit, how long are you haunting the area. Poor soul, rest yourself already. 

what did bumblefoot say?

He said he wouldn't dear try to replace Slash before even asked.
And he?s heard only The Blues sent to him by a fan till now, claiming he had considered joining up GNR for bloody 2 months.

[Taz]

People are angry and frustrated, but it's not my fault if Axl is ruining his career.

Do you think Guns N'Roses roots have anything to do with NIN or "experimental" music ?
I don't think so and nobody does.

Even if they have to evolve (metabolism as you say), bands must respect their roots. Take a look at great bands like AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and so on... They evolved, but not in a radical way.

And remember that NIN isn't a band, it's only one guy called Trent Reznor who does mediocre music. This guy should not be an example for Axl !

First off, I wouldn't mention AC/DC, the Stones and Aerosmith as good examples of bands that have evolved, especially not AC/DC who've basically been making the same album over and over for 30 years now (although I do respect them).
And second, Trent Reznor does not make mediocre music ! Let it go already, and take your narrow-mindedness someplace else.

[darkmonth]

just coz someone changes the style they do, doesn't mean they evolved... Maddy and The Blues are some of the simplest GnR tunes out of the whole catalogue...

Has Axl evolved?  No.  He's just changed his style a bit.  Nothing evolution like about that...

You can still have great music and not make big changes.. With ac/dc they decided to keep it hard rockers, they stayed with what their fans loved.. Think about how many songs they have in rotation on the radio, they kept it simple and aggressive.. Ac/dc would look odd to do thing gnr did ,someone like say metallica released killer albums one after another for like 5 albums. I think their curent music stinks..

Me personally I like afd the best, I also love the hard rockers on the illusions.. I am not crazy about november rain but it still has that gnr sound.. I think with songs like oh my god and silkworms they strayed from what their fan base likes.. I don't want more songs like maddy n the blues because they are boring songs..

Aerosmith hasn't evolved, jesus do you think evolving means changing the entire way you playl?? Aerosmith has hard rockers, blues type songs, ballads and everything else under the sun, but they would not be mistaken for some industrial band..

I'll use vr for an example .,they have hard rockers, fast pace muisc, and some ballads. I hope each time they release music like that..

I would have taken six afd type albums..

[Dont Try Me]

It's not about what we like, it's about what the current members of Guns like music wise. Proirity number one is that they should feel happy with the songs they wrote. And if the fans like it....well, that's nice, and if they don't...so what...as long as they are happy with it. Get it?

Fine then change the name, because guns n roses is know for certain types of music.. get it??

Get over the name already. You're not gonna make any "friends" here if you keep repeating the "but it's not GN'R  " routine.

A band doesn't have to stay the same all the time. There's no rule book for rock bands which says "stick to your format".

[ppbebe]

Nope. Do AFD and UYI sound same to you??

I would have taken six afd type albums..

Have you tried Poison or Darkness? Not exactly the same type but may be close enough for you?..If you don?t think so, I?d introduce you some new band of young and pretty AFD devotees. The point common to these bands is that I can?t stand their music. No offence to their fans.

[norway]

Nice that axl might use the new technics developed in music biz
He always used the recording technics availebale, overdubs and different voice recorders, and today with all the new digital equipment and analogue\digital hybrids it looks we're in for some solid product
But still i'm sure he stays faithfull to his roots...

[Pandora]

But they've been doing all those things since the very beginning, so there's hardly any evolution, except maybe they make more ballads nows....

I would have taken six afd type albums..

Certainly not me (and I do like AFD).

The other day I mentioned Killing Joke in another thread. If you compare what they did 20 years ago to what they've been doing since the 90s, you would almost swear it's not the same band. And no style is better than the other, it's just different. They EVOLVED while maintaining their spirit. And it's still called Killing Joke.
