I think that Richard's solo was great His sound reminds me alot of Izzy/Slash..

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Richard's solo leading into Patience was awesome, as was the Fortus/Finck duet on the Aguilera cover 

[leesixxrose]

they are good... WAY better than that shit finky was playing in 2002 as the intro to PC....

Simply amazing.

The only BAD thing of Christina Aguilera's version of ''Beautiful'' is Christina Aguilera. Her voice sounds like a pig being murdered. But, instrumentally, ''Beautiful'' is a very nice song, IMHO

Someone at MyGNR said that IRS sounds like ''Fighter''. Well, that's another example of what I'm saying. ''Fighter'' could be a great song, but Christina Aguilera's nauseating voice ruins it.

Yeah well, "Beautiful" was written by Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes, remember?) and she really rocks! Check out her biography on Wikipedia, she's done many amazing things.

Lind Perry rocks.. she even writes for Pink.. and i think Pink is as cool fucking chick as they come.. ..

Fortus and fincks solo was too cool.! and the way they played off each other was awesome.

[nesquick]

it sounds good?

I have  the audio of bumblefoot singing oops i did it again, it's actually quite good (in a funny way)

[nesquick]

I like a lot the Richard Fortus solo, he really got the bluesy vibe in his playing. Check it:

That's true. I like his sound best of these new members. He reminds me about Izzy and his sound (might be also because of the equipment they're both using).. it's great to have this guy in the band

[nesquick]

He reminds me more Slash than Izzy in his guitar playing. He is more skilled than Izzy.
The more I listen to Fortus, the more I think Bumblefoot is not really necessary in this band. This 3rd guitar player thing is useless.
Finck and Fortus could have done the job, really.

As much as I love ron he is not essential to the band at all. Robin and Richard are more than capable of handing the parts, just listen to richards solo's he can shred with the best of them.

For those interested I kept track of the solo's on sunday... although they were pretty close each night. they are as follows

Robin 23
Ron 13
Richard 9

this doesn't include solo's outside of songs, or signature riffs IE intros. It was solo's in the songs. IE sweet child has 3 solo parts first interlude between chorus and 2nd verse (ron), 2nd interlude between 2nd chorus and bridge (ron), solo (robin).

While ron is a very cool guy and great player... its really unnecessary. I love richard and robin.... especially now. They have so much charasma and chemistry together.... not to mention really gracious dudes. i met richard after the show on the 15th and he was awesome. Robin came out but he was talking on his phone and I didn't want to bother him.

I love the 'beautiful' solo personally I thought they took a lame song and brought out the beautiful melody in it. Can't wait for the album to really hear them shine

[Mobenrad]

I don't care what anyone says, because the second softer part of Richard's solo reminds me of Hendrix and John Mayer crossed. I serouisly think he derived these guitar lines from the song called "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix. Check it out and listen to it long enough, then listen to this, and there is a striking similarity. Guitarists get a lot of solo lines derived from past songs, so I'm pretty sure that Richard did this with "Little Wing". You rock Fortus! You were born in St. Louis, so convince Axl to get his ass over here!

[kunzerd]

little wing is one of my favs by hendrix. awesome tune.



    i liked robin's playing best. they are both great, but robin just blew me away on the 12th and 17th. fantastic.

ive said it before and ill say it again, this band is really good.
i dont need a reunion, this is my GNR.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I thought the solos kicked ass. I could've really done without one or two of them, but they were all great nontheless. They're "Beautiful" solo was amazingly touching between the two. You can tell they are really good friends...
