What do you think the band needs?

[nesquick]

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 guitar 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 accoustic guitars 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?

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Get Hanoi Rocks to open for them on the next tour

[jgfnsr]

Release Chinese Democracy.

Anything else at this point would just be masturbation.

[gnrvrrule]

Hmmm....how 'bout get Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Matt back in the band?   .  That would be great, but for now, the only thing they need is a friggin' release date for Chinese Democracy!

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Axl needs a good kick in the ass. Put out the album already! 7 years is long enough.

Wow, 4 replies, and really none of them have to do with what the topic creator was speaking of.  Anyway, I think the band should just do something original.  Make fans feel that this truly is a completely different band and aren't just a bunch of replacements.  Show off some of their talents, whether that's a 5 min jam session or more accoustics.

Personally I don't want these guys back.  I have grown to really like the new guys and think they are really talented.  A new album and tour would back me on that if it ever comes out.  Although if a reunion did happen, I could live with Slash and Duff coming back, that would be cool to see.   Matt on the other hand, doesn't even deserve to be with VR.  He's a flake!

what do they need.....fuckin' nothin'!!!

they already have it, just an album release!!!

[Mikkamakka]

Finck and impovization? That'd hurt.

"What do you think the band needs?"

A good kick up the arse   

[estranged.1098]

They need a weapon of mass destruction to kick all the haters away from this message board and other GNR communities.

[GNROSAS]

Buckethead and a Release Date.
Nothing more...

"What do you think the band needs?"

A good kick up the arse? ?

I was gonna say a swift kick in the butt, but I guess that's the same thing

They need a sense of achievement and that can only be reached if they tour or if they release the album! The band will broke up if this dont' happen within the next 12 month! No musician (except Axl) works over five years to get an album finished and then doesn't realese it! The other band members will get tired and sooner or later leave the "project"!

[Mr. Sinister]

1) A clear identity with the public - Group photo shoots, posters, general New-GNR stuff should appear.

2) Killer singles in this order: A WTTJ-style rev-up rock song, a pop tune (The Blues comes to mind), and finally the biggest thing they've got. They shouldn't hold back a bit and release the biggest and best tune they've got to the masses.

3) Release the album.

[dENIS]

Firts of all more information about whats going in GN`R camp. Axl need to tell the truth, need more contact with fans, real info about CD status - i think if he tell all the truth about last 10 years will be better for him. Kill the rumours - rest the truth.

[shaun]

The band at the very least should sort out their web site or get someone to do it for them if only to put a stop to stupid rumours etc 

[kaasupoltin]

New name is what they need. "Axl & Co." ?

[Thorazine Shuffle]

What Axl needs is either Seroquel, Depakote, Geodon, or Lithium.  In other words...Bi-Polar Meds.  A personal recommendation would be Seroquel about 800 mgs.  Works for me.

[Friedemann]

Who came up with this name change thing? Axl's last name is already one half of the band name --- they should call themselves Axl N' Roses to make it perfectly clear ---

But seriously, they just need to get real --- on another thread somebody wrote something funny about the "geologic timescale in which things happen in the Gn'r world". You can't take them serious anymore if they keep on saying, "Yeah, we're working hard on it, Axl's in the studio day and night, we hope we'll get the mixing done by November 2034 ---"

Come on!
