we have a new guitar player!!!!

[badapple81]

Nobody can put a dampener on this! GN'R are playing in 6 days! Axl is back and rocking! Even Izzy might jam for a song! Chinese Democracy is coming! Finally all these years of waiting and reading the negativity... its all going to be over. There is no room for negativity here anymore!

[14 years of silence]

Does anybody know what Axl directly after he said "We have a new guitarist but I'm not gonna say who it is" everyone starts talking at once and Axl says something like "It's not (inaudible)". DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT HE SAID?

Which part does Axl say they have a new guitarist?

[nesquick]

Part 1 I think.

These are great days to be a Guns N' Roses fan. I AM PROUD!

[Irish rose]

I can barely make anything out of that mp3..

Still really lookin forward to finding out who it is

[CAFC Nick]

We have to wait until the 12th at least to decide whether or not this is a good thing.

[speed-stone]

We have to wait until the 12th at least to decide whether or not this is a good thing.

it will be, and it will blow everything away. guns n' roses will never have sounded better.

edit: i can't even begin to describe how fucking awesome and historic this is! a new guitar player in guns n' roses, a monster (in a good way) not yet seen and tonight barely heard is about to be unleashed upon us! no wonder it has taken four years! i love the developments in guns n' roses, the pieces fall into place so perfectly! axl, you're a genius!

Is it when Axl is on the phone or in the studio?

[TOPGUNner]

I could care less who the 3rd guitarist is now that Axl has said Izzy might stop and check in. That's freakin' awesome.

And as far as the audio for the 3rd guitarist, he could easily be throwing his voice to confuse listeners. 6 more days and we'll know

[nesquick]

It seems it's not Batio in fact because he is on tour right now, and for a long time http://www.angelo.com/current_shows.html

[killingvector]

It definitely sounds like Batio to me too. He doesn't look like a fucking robot or a fucking Alien, wich is already a good point, but he definitely sounds like a fucking machine too, and you can already hear it on the little Nightrain rehearsal clip. I can tell you he even sounds more like a machine than Buckethead. I don't understand Axl's obession of getting a shredder in GNR. He is going to the wall a second time after the Buckethead fiasco. This is a terrible, terrible news if it's Mr Batio.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is probably the 3rd guitar player (if it's him):

Thanks Axl to turn GNR into a stupid speed trash metal shredd guitar band. You'll hear the fans reaction to this joke very soon.

LOL. Actually that four necked guitar was stolen soon after he used it. Batio was really pissed off about it and hasn't used it since.

Batio is doing some clincs right now, if he is in fact not in the band. Someone could check if he showed up or not.


I posted these last night; these are clinics not shows...lol

The band thats opening is supposed to be on tour as well.

Happy now?

Whoever the guitarist is, you need to give him a chance in GN'R before casting judgement.

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Axl has said Izzy might stop and check in. That's freakin' awesome.

/quote]

Yeah that would be cool to see Izzy stop in at a few dates. It's nice to see they are getting along again. I'm sure the other member in the band won't care if Izzy did a few shows. ?We just have to wait to the 12th to see who the 3rd player is. ?

I think MAB would cancel these clinics and shows immediately if he was offered a spot in Guns. I hope he wasn't.

Batio fuckin sucks , I sure hope it's not him.? I don't know what Axl's infatuation is with these shredding guitarist. GNR is a rock n' roll band, it just seems to go against everything that is GNR.? Axl always stressed in the past how GNR was not metal but rock n' roll? that it was blues oriented . If it is indeed batio that joined GNR it is going to be a huge blow towards the credibility of the band .? Axl would be better off visiting clubs? and searching for an unknown that can make a name for himself in this new band.? This band needs an unknown that we can grow to love . We need a young hungry kid? that is ready to take over the world? ?not some old untalented fart that prefers a circus act routine over writing great melodic riffs.

great post - Axl needs a young hotshot rather than some tired old has-been

Kinda like Ozzy and his guitarists (Roads, Lee and Wylde).

[CAFC Nick]

Zakk Wylde is such an amazing guitarist. Its really unfortunate it didn't work out between him and Axl a few years back.

[D]

HOw bout

Izzy Stradlin?

Axl said he may show up.
