Should VR call it quits and return to their side projects?

[oldgunsfan]

according to slash, there's 10 songs with Izzy that are the best GnR album we'll never hear

He's probably lying, Slash lies all the time apparently...

ooops, i forgot

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

VR call it quits,are you kidding,bring on the new album

He's also a consumate press, photo and media opportunist and manipulator

Totally. No, don't let my facial expressions show sarcasm, I believe this. No really.

Suckertrain Blues is an amzing song and if that doesn't quench some thirst for old G n' R, well that's as close as you are going to get.? Slither was an awesome single.? The slower stuff was certainly enjoyable, maybe not groundbreaking for some but still.? I could argue that November Rain was an overproduced, over the top, wimpy song.? It's all preference, but Contraband was pretty good for a rookie album.? I would think more people would be encouraged for them to take a second crack at it.?

*ducks as people who think I am criticizing November Rain begin to throw things*

I thought November Rain was a whimmpy song too and thought that it was a overated, it might of been successful in the charts and everyone who thinks its a good song are not the Hard Core fans of Gn'r as they only know about Sweet Child O'Mine before that, most of the band when recording it wanted to move on after recording but Mr Axl Rose continued to work on it for months and it still didn't reach Number 1, i could pick a shit load of songs that are much better than November Rain

[NicoRourke]

Yeah right?

What the fuck ? It is still a song that fans are asking for today ! People love when NR is being played. What's a hard Core GN'R fan anyway ?

I agree with you that some people only GN'R through NR, Don't Cry or SCOM, wich pisses me off. But NR is a classic GN'R tune, along with others like WTTJ, etc.

most of the band when recording it wanted to move on after recording but Mr Axl Rose continued to work on it for months

Most of the band... Yeah, like Matt Sorum (What's with the piano ?) Back then he was refering to the song as a masterpiece.

it still didn't reach Number 1

So ? Was the song recorded for that purpose ? Was it made to be N?1 ? Or maybe it was something Axl cared about ?

Alot of people hate November Rain.. That was also when alot of people stopped liking Gn'R.

[oldgunsfan]

I think the band like Novemeber Rain when it was stripped down with Axl playing piano.  They didn't really go for the orchestra and backing singers.  Especially when they brought them on tour.

NR and DOn't Cry are 2 of GnR's oldest songs written

No doubt velvet revolver has revitalized the public career of the guys - they are more visible now and getting bigger gigs than they could with snakepit, Loaded, Neurotic Outsiders etc.

Scott Weiland will always do fine either solo or with STP (I prefer him solo myself)
Slash will pretty much always do decent as far as a following
Duff can't draw huge crowds, but he may be the most talented of the bunch (plays guitar, bass, drums, vocals, songwriter)

Matt is getting the best exposure has has had in years

Dave is clearly profiting the most (fame-wise, artistically, and financially)

I have seen the following side-projects:
Snakepit 2.0 - better than VR
Loaded - WAY better than VR
STP 2X
Scott solo 2X
Izzy 2X with Duff in Japan

If there was no VR we would have snakepit, loaded, izzy being able to tour, STP or scott, and perhaps N.O

My question is whether you would prefer 5 times as many bands which are definitely better or one mediocre band

btw - I have seen VR twice and was not impressed

discuss

The entire premise is flawed. VR is not a mediocre band. You weren't impressed? How is is possible? Were you in the last row and passed  out? You are probably the only person alive who would have such an opinion. VR is better than all five bands combined.

[tomass74]

"VR is better than all five bands combined. "

I almost agree with that... For now I still have to give the edge to STP....

Snakepit 2.0 - better than VR

Thanks fo rthe laugh hahahahahahah....   

[Nightfall]

Yes they should! or at least Duff and Dave and continue with Loaded
