Enough with the VR comparisons already

I'm glad it looks like Axl will finally release something, and though its way overdue, it should be a good listen. However, these demos floating around are no better musically, if not worse musically, than the VR stuff. Put Axl on VR's tracks and Contraband would have sold 8 figures. Musically, what Slash & Co are doing is much stronger than what Fortus and Finck are doing. Buckethead is gone, so its not fair to even compare Slash to Buckethead, because Bucket is not a Gunner anymore!!!
I feel like some fans here are just knocking Slash and Duff, because they are so wrapped up riding Axl's jock. Did you hear the solo on Dirty Little Thing? You won't hear solos like that on the new Guns stuff. All you will hear is Axl's voice and his lyrics. The band is good, but musically, they are not on VR's level. Anybody in the music biz would tell you the same. Axl should stop all this shit and just re-unite with Slash, Izzy and Duff.

Are you serious?
You cant compare the two bands ones playing at the major league level and the other (VR is in double AA).

Your brilliant!! VR having sold so many records makes me enjoy their music that much more. Wow, Mariah Carey was the highest selling artist last year, whats your point?

I'm glad we are all basing our opinions on an album that's been in the works for over 10 years, that may never be released. You know, just to bash Slash and Duff a little more.

Furthermore, how many gigs has VR cancelled? How many tours have they cancelled? How many albums have they promised to deliver, yet push the date out further and further?

Or so you think...
They will. ?Slither was VRs only good song. ?Fall to Pieces was a blatant SCOM rip off and the rest of their songs were filler music. ?Already though, I can say TWAT, Better, Madagascar, the Blues, and IRS are better than Slither.

If someone says that the new material is better then all or most of VRs, its not bashing anyone...its simply comparing two bands. from my POV, VR was a huge disappointment and theres only one kick ass song, Slither. The rest are extremely average to me and it doesn't even sound like Slash on most of the tunes. The solo on fall to pieces is WEAK. Does that mean I am bashing slash and duff? No it means I think something is better and VR didn't meet my expectations.
Sounds more like you are just bashing axl for taking a long time to release CD, cancelling the tours etc.....

EXACTLY!!!
@ Ferrari.... mmmm perdy car!!
Oh, and VR are soooo Ford Focusy it ain't even funny! In fact... they're more like a Ford Fiesta!!
Gn'R are like a Lotus Exige... which is by far the most attractive, most awesome, most bloody fantabulous car ever! And I want one!

Its apparent Axl went in one musical direction & slash & Duff another. Kind of like comparing apples to oranges if you ask me. I is OK to like both.
However I will say this, criticize Axl if you want but he's got the artistic balls to do something different.

Yeah... the Ferrari goes so much faster than the bike without wheels. A Ferrari can form a band within a few months of searching and put out an album a year or two later, have it go multi-platinum and tour the country. While a bike without wheels might go ten or more years, trying to replace a spoke here and there, never putting out an album or having a successful tour. I definitely prefer that Ferrari!!!!
