GNR vs VR (Player By Player)

[nesquick]

I totally agree with you ryan, exept maybe for the drums. I like Matt, but Brain is better (for me).
I also agree with you when you said Richard should take the Lead. I think the band would be bigger with him on Lead (although he is great on rythm too).

[Carlos_f_Rose]

I agree with Ryan, ... but I have to ask one thing....  Brain was part of primus right? so, they made the south park song, didnt they?


                                   @;---.-,----,.---,.---,-.-,.--,.-,.-- The perfect Rose

[spacebrain5000]

they did a lot more then write the south park song but yes, they did, as the creators were fans.
primus is bloody fantastic.

and uh, here's my contribution to this thread:

Axl over Scott, easily, although i'd like Axl even better if he would release something
it's not an option, but I'd choose Buckethead over Slash, and slash over robin.. although I enjoy all three.
Richard over Dave
Brain over Matt, easily.. never liked Matt ever.. something about his drumming just kills it, and not in a good way. I'd even pick steven adler over matt. And Brain was in fuckin' primus and fucking rocked, and still rocks 
Dizzy over no keyboards
Tommy over Duff... I like duff as a musician, and I even like some of his singing, but essentially his best contribution is to look cool... and he looked really really cool back in the day 
So essentially my dream Gn'r already exists, just put slash back in somehow... or even better, buckethead..

[ironfin]

Brain is the best thing in new GNR, I hope that he plays drums the way he wants to on CD (if its ever released)

He has played with `tom Weights for fuck ske and only the besy play with him

[AxlRoseVen]

If you honestly open your eyes up you can see V.R is band that won?t last, their singer is out of control over n? over, slash plays simple solos when he was supposed to be the best guitar player a long long time ago, c?mon let?s admit it Slash n? those guys could do a better album but the truth is they didn?t so anyway V.R will never be famous n? amazing like GNR, even the new gnr members show to V.R that they do know how play good music these days!

Are you DaveGnFnR2k16 under a different name? Let's see:
VR's singer is out of control. Gee, hasn't he always been? Been around for awhile, huh? Think Axl's in control? How many great lead singers do you know of that aren't nutty?

Slash plays simple solos? Sure the solos with VR aren't like his solos with Guns...yet. But Fall To Pieces has sweet guitar work in it and if you don't think Slash will be around for awhile, you're sadly mistaken.

VR will never be famous like GnR? Of course not. But GnR was famous b/c of its members which included 3 from VR!

And I have no idea what you said in the end about new GnR members. But anyone who is sane would rate Slash and Duff above their counterparts in nu GnR. Matt and Brain is a toss up.  Richard and Dave are as well but Dave's body of work is better IMO.  And Axl was once great but has shown nothing in a decade while Scott has put out Platinum albums.  Who knows how Axl is now? Clearly I would take old Axl vs any Scott but who knows what nu Axl is like? He hasn't appeared in years and was iffy then. 

This whole thread is silly. How can you compare an existing band to one that is still, well, fictional?

[You Gonna Eat That?]

Scott (cant spell his last name) > Axl Rose, present.

[nesquick]

I was a little bit severe with Robin previously. I think he is a good guitar player.

[ClintroN]

Im a musician so im speakin' the truth here, her' goes...

Robin vs. Slash
 
    I've loved Slash since the beginning alright, he's the man, he's a blues man n' thats his style, he tends to stay on the same bar's  on his guitar n' generally just rides with it , but dont get me wrong, the man can play......Now, Robin Finck, i knew him from NIN, loved his style n' then he joins GnR ...This guy knows his shit Im serious when i say that most of you dont know this mans talent, sure you judge him on EVERY SINGLE FUCK UP he did from the 02' tour, but take a look at Slash from over the years why dont you's. I tell ya, you will all change your minds when we hear what this man will do on Chinese Democracy.

Robin wins 

Matt vs. Brain

Brain has a variety of styles n' doesnt stick to the same drum fills...Matt does

Brain wins

Tommy vs. Duff

Duff is my all time hero n' Tommy is right next to him, i dig both these guys alot....i havent heard VGH yet Believe In Me is a huge influence on me

Duff wins

Richard vs. Dave


No dis to Dave 'cause he's good at what he does but Richard lays a dirty smelly turd on his head with fly's on the side. Richard rocks like no other.

Richard wins

Axl vs. Scott

Scott got blown to hell n' backerack and slowly sealed over, finaly the brain went out and started making this shlupping sound, a sound you could smell, it started growing these like....teeth..incurving hooks....he thought it was cute at first n' built an act around it,  but after a while he started beating at it with his fist telling it to shut up 'cause it was screaming for days saying i wanted equal rights!!! . the whole abdomin would move up n' down n' start farting out the words you dig, he turned it into a novalty ventriloquist  act, scott screamed at it to shut up but it replied it is you who will shut up in the end not me cause we dont need you 'round here anymore..........then....there was nothing........just shredded newspaper clippings n' burned out toliet brushes, shower kertain's n' waterbuckets, no food corts no toilet tree's......silence....

in the end I said :  the new GNR members are good musicians to play with Axl, Duff, Matt n' Slash seem to make music to Christina Aguilera THESE TIMES cuz they don?t sound like a rock band anymore!, if you don't believe me so hear their album n? see their ridiculous shows!

Oh I notice Scott is your hero but at least you had the chance to hide it but you couldn't so let me tell ya something Axl isn't outta control, he never lost contro anyway!, I don't care if Scott has put out Platinum albums cuz that guy sucks more than ever, he's so very stoned every time they are on stage, he?s lost in a world of drugs again but he says he's clean to date    , so it's time for ya to respect Axl cuz he's not a wacko!, he's not a stoner!, he's the best singer ever! Can ya admit it for once? i don't care if axl's been away from us after all this time cuz anyway he showed us a time that he'll be a living legend always!, got it?

[jmapelian]

Scott: last gnR show I went to Axl never showed up
Slash: dumb question
Dave: another dumb question
Duff: another dumb question
matt; another dumb question

who the fuck needs a keyboard player in a rock band

How can you compare a band that is the industries biggest punchline to a band that's had one hit record and one world tour and preparing for it's second.

Unless you want to compare how the new GnR plays the old GnRs songs.  Otherwise, you got nothing to compare

[AxlsMainMan]

Why fucking bother? As Axl said, "This new band can play the fuck out of these songs!"

[misterbrownstone]

Axl
vocals 8 (10 way back when)-a little weak these days, but still has killer range
apperance 9 (10 way back when)-he looks pretty good now, his face has filled out since he's not a stick anymore
style 7 (10 way back when)-jerseys?  gym pants?  come on, man! (i'm fine with the braids)
presence 10-when he hits the stage everyone goes crazy
energy 10-runs around for everything, dances etc
lyrics 11-best writter since lennon/mccartney 

Scott
vocals 7 (9 on the STP album core)-his voice is pretty generic and average.  he sounded great on Core, though
appearance 8-looks cool and can scowl
style 7-looks like most other rockstars.  leather jacket, t shirt and jeans.
presence 10-real good stage presence
energy 10-very good frontman
lyrics 7-average lyrics about drugs

Axl wins, 55 to 49

guitar

Slash
stage presence 10-slash is a god
energy 7-used to run around more often in GN'R days, now he's a bit heavy.
ability 9-estranged, but his stuff in contraband is pretty lame
cool factor 10-top hat, cigarette, mop of hair, sunglasses?  come on, it's a classic!

robin
stage presence 8-very good, but better in NIN
energy 9-he really gets into the solos
ability 7-he messes up a lot of solos, but his solo in the blues is fantastic
cool factor 8-the bald head was cool, but now he looks like jesus!

Slash wins 36-32

Dave
stage presence 4-overshadowed by Slash
energy 10-does go pretty crazy on stage
ability 7-nothing impressive
cool factor 6-looks very weak when on stage with Slash

Richard
stage presence 7-pounds his guitar into oblivion
energy 10-watch him pound his guitar
ability 9-his solo in the end of the blues is very good, and he's a very capible rhythm guitarist
cool factor 8-cool and a very nice guy

Richard wins 34-27

Duff
stage presence 8-the once GN'R bassist and his friend Slash still are a menacing duo
energy 8-pretty active on stage

energy 8-gets real into it
cool factor 6-looked like a creep during UYI, but looks better now

Brain

I was wondering that same thing.
