GNR live actually sounded better in 1991 than 1992

[dave-gnfnr2k]

It was slashs idea for the horns and back up singers not Axls.

I've seen you post this for a while now but have never seen any documentation of this being the case.? Not that I don't believe you, I've just never had any proof of it being indeed factual.

Any quotes from Slash on the matter?

I have always posted the quote by slash, yet you always seem to forget that. I dont have time to post it right now since im off to work but when I get home ill post it once again.

[Dont Try Me]

Just my three pennies to the first poster:

Your a dick with nothing better to do then moaning and complaining like most of the others do on this board. There was nothing wrong with the little back-up thingy's. In fact, it was pretty interesting and cool to me. Too bad you didn't like it........wait.......I'm sure you liked it but as in refering to my first sentence.....you got nothing better to do then dragging old cows from the ditch.

Enjoy jerking off to Traci and Roberta posters from the old days

What the fuck is your problem buddy? The guy was just stating his opinion, I don't prefer all that extra crap i.e Backup singers, Teedy Andreais and crap like that but in the end we got used to them, well until the band scrapped them anyway

I've got no problem, neither with him or anyone. I've got problems with the mentallity these days. I've seen this discussion over and over again. In the end......who cares? The old days were fun, but I'm focussing on the new Gn'R and looking forward to discussions which are relevant these days rather then the past. But that's a personal thing.

Like I said in the post after I made the insult: "I appologize for the language. But I meaned what I said about all the people complaining these days, taken in context. Guess some frustration or some sort. Indeed that last line wasn't neccecary, but it was meaned sarcasticly. However, I'll keep it to myself next time or will reply in a civil way."

I actually went through a few hundred of your recent posts and couldn't find anything on the subject so I took the liberty of asking.

I read somewhere that the backup singers and horns were Slash's idea too.

Whatever the case,
I thought that was a horrible idea.
It's too bad that THEY have to be on the only official release from that tour.

I really liked the '93 sound of the band. With the acoustic section of the set.

But 91 was cool too... The shows setlist varied from night to night.

I find it really sad that Guns pretty much played the exact same show for most of the UYI tour.

They most certainly did not. None of the five concert recordings I've seen from the UYI tour have EXACTLY the same setlist. YCBM and Dont Cry weren't even played at Noblesville 1991, whereas Right Next Door To Hell wasn't played in Tokyo 92, Paris 92 or Chicago 92. Coma was played in Chicago but none of the others...I could go on for hours..

[W. Botaxl Rose]

For some reason, I think it may have been Slash's idea to have all the back-up musicians on the UYI tour. I think Axl mentions it on a GnR past, present, future thing on MTV after they aired the Paris show? Slash then says how fun it is having an entourage on the road with them and taking over hotels. This is what p[ops in my head anyways. I'll watch it later & see for sure.

This section is called Dead Horse. Y'know?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I cant find the quote but every gnr fan knows it was Slashs idea. He said it in some interview and it has been proven on this board before.  You can  believe what ever  you want, if I find the quote ill post it, but it was in an interview from 92 or so.

[welshrose]

The setlists were the best in 1991. The shows were the most epic in 1992. The shows were the most aggressive in 1993.


The setlists got really dull in late 1993, when they were back in Europe and then in South America.


Easy, Brownstone, Live and Let Die, Double Talkin, Welcome to the Jungle, Attitude, Yesterdays, Your Crazy, You Aint the First, Used to Love Her, Patience, Knockin on Heavens Door, November Rain, You Could Be Mine, Dead Horse, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City

That was the setlist for like 80% of 1993.

[Falcon]

I cant find the quote but every gnr fan knows it was Slashs idea.

I've been a GNR fan since I saw them open for The Cult in '87 and I've never heard that until you brought it up eons ago.

if I find the quote ill post it, but it was in an interview from 92 or so.

Until then....


I digress..
No matter who's idea it was, it was fucking stupid.

[welshrose]

I agree. The horn section was stupid as were the back up singers. So glad they got rid of them in 1993.

This topic was originally started and moved to here from the Guns N' Roses section. Y'know? That's why I was so harsh on it at first.

Well, that was my bad, since I'm the topic starter. I wasn't sure where to post this. You're an immature moron for insulting me because of that.

I already appologized for that, haven't you readed it? If you have, you might get over it. If so, I could stay away from this section of the board. We'd all be very happy bunnies.

Okay, apology accepted. Let's get back on topic.

Aren't the backup singers required for November Rain? and the horns, strings, trumpets and crap for Bad Obsession? So what's the problem?

Good point, but sadly enough they were also present during songs which didn't really require them at all..

[dave-gnfnr2k]

No since the keyboard could do the same job for Nov Rain like it did before they got them and on the CD tour.

[nesquick]

the horn section was great. and I prefer big stadium shows too.

[jameslofton29]

Nesquick, who is that woman you say is hot? The pic is small so I cant really tell. Is it Posh Spice?
