If GnR released an Album in 1995-6?

[kaasupoltin]

I love all of those songs you listed. I think that Gilby is a great guitarist, but he just didn't get a real chance in Gn'R. Every time I listen to the solo stuff from Duff, Slash or Gilby I just imagine what would it sound like if Axl would do the vocal work. Answer is amazing!

I think from say 95-99 gnr sales ingeneral would have suffered, they were still scene as something that started from the 80's and sometimes thought of as the band that was help killed by grunge.. Take your limps your kid rocks your korns or mansons that were selling big, gnr was just not right then... Once 2002 came along it was the right time.. For me oh my god and live era showed that gnr wasn't in demand at that moment..

that's probably true, but that may have been a blessing in disguise as the media wouldn't have been so intense in their scrutiny of the band and they coulda gotten back to their roots a little

some  bands made it throught those years: Aerosmith, Metallica, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Ozzy
GnR was as big if not bigger than all of them

The grunge period just killed alot of the bands that nobody misses like Warrant, Ratt, Trixster, Whitesnake, Dokken, Extreme, Danger Danger, and a bunch of other "hair bands" I can't remember

If they would stuck together I think a possible ulbum in 96 would've been in the mix between is 12 o clock somewhere and pawnshop guitars, I think duff would make a couple of songs but not that influenced to do it on GNR

I think you understate Duff's importance to the band; he wrote / co-wrote two of the best songs on AFD:
It's So easy and Paradise City

Sorry whats falsetto. ?

the Darkness

Off topic, but listen to the Darkness... most of the singing is NOT falsetto...

[CAFC Nick]

The Darkness piss on the name of every rock n' roll band ever.

I really liked Gilby's stuff (from that era) the best... Pawnshop Guitars and The Hangover have the real makings of a solid mid 90's GN'R album.... apparently Axl was very P!SSED when some of those songs turned up on Gilby's solo discs... as evidently there was some miscommunication between Gilby and Axl [Axl apparently said he "liked" some of Gilby's songs (translation- ear mark it for GN'R)- and Gilby took that to mean that Axl was just being complimentary- but not that he was interested in any of the material for GN'R]. That's too bad... I've always kind of felt that GN'R missed out by not writing some original music with Gilby... dude's got a good ear.

I never really got into Slash's Snakepit... there's some great guitar work on those albums, but GN'R would be playing bingo halls right now if they had tried to release and tour behind that in the mid 90s. Ten Minute Warning and Duff's other solo work never did much for me either. I did like Neurotic Outsiders (with Duff and Matt) A LOT though... he11... I like Neurotic Outsiders more than I like Velvet Revolver.

I agree with you on Gilby. Tijuana Jail is something akin to Dust N' Bones. Axl missed the boat on this one! Gilby could've been a real asset writing new music, more so than Slash or Duff.

That's a good one: I'd love to hear what WTTJ and SCOM sound like if Gilby had written the riff instead of Slash

And what It's SO Easy and PC would have sounded like if Gilby wrote it than DUff

Gilby's so good I've never heard one of his songs played on the radio

The Darkness piss on the name of every rock n' roll band ever.

And everyone else should shit on them for what they are:  shit.

I agree with both of you - I hate gimmick bands.

on topic - I don't think a 95-96 album would have been successful - people wanted a different sound and there was a lot of backlash towards the "image" rock scene of the late 80s/early 90s.  People were angry and upset at the state of the country and the music reflected that.  Of course it was a minor recession and as soon as people were happy again we wanted to rock but by then GNR was broken up and Cobain had already killed the genre.  Instead rappers/hip hoppers replaced rockers as the new kings of sex, drugs and rock n roll and we were left with shitty bands like The Offspring and Limp Bizkit.  I think the timing is right now for a new GNR album...but back then it would have been recieved like an average Aerosmith album.  You'd have a top 40 hit but no real buzz about it.

Axl is on Tijuana Jail?

A scream right at the end that's it

Who can confirm this?? It's not in the liner notes, it's not listed on this website, and I don't hear Axl.

I'l post the clip if I'm allowed, but i don't think I am.? If you have the CD it's at 4:35-4:37 Seriously I've always thought so, and i know it's not in the liners But it's him for sure

That's Gilberto Clarke himself.
