Thoughts from people that don't drink the kool aid on the new version of GNR

As you can see, opinions are drastically different when you leave the fan forums......

These guitar players are awful in the clip the review.

fuckers... If blash had played the exact same thing they would have said it was awsome...

[SWINGTRADER]

Funny how they use the RiR performance to bash the new band. Why don't they use Download's version of NR??  it's on Youtube also .    Dumbasses.

Well, that is a player forum, most there don't look too highly on Slash.  He is not "technical" enough, however, they do respect his feel and ability to write timeless solo's.  They just feel the solo's are butchered and Axl's voice sucks in this song.  Is it fair?  no.....  But was actually a good pro shot with good Audio, perfect to make and objective judgement.

I don't have a problem with anything they said, and neithe should any of us..

[netrix]

lets be honest.  Outside this board the new band does not have any respect.  You can't just take 10 + years off and put the title Guns N' Roses on a bunch of new guys and have the general public accept them like they were back in the day.  I expect to hear comments like these until CD comes out and establishes the new band in history.  I expect the new band will make their mark one day.  From the leaks, it sounds promising.  Until then we can't get frustrated about these kind comments.

[Smoking Guns]

netrix, perfect attitude.  We are homers and always want to defend.  But it is good to see what others are thinking!  GNR still has a long way to go, but they are on the right track....Well, as long as the guitars are better on the album they are!

Like I'm going to sit here and listen to a fuckin' Auburn WAR EAGLE/TIGER/....we have no idea what our mascot is...on top of that, you probably never even saw the old band play...or the new band so you really have no basis to judge anything remotely related to a live Gnr show. I suggest actually going to a concert....ah fuck it...you go to AUBURN. 

[mrgnrdvd]

if slash would come back it would make everyones day

[madagas]

IF a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass a hoppin'....no it would not make everyone's day.

[Gunner80]

Well, we don't give a shit about what they think, do we? I've watched a ton of boots from this tour and they sound damn good. 

[mrgnrdvd]

the one Finck solo is really bad

Bumblefoot solo is really good not as good as a slash solo but good

Why should I care what these people think? I like what I like, what other people think doesn't really matter to me as long as I enjoy it.

[Crashdiet]

Well clearly they haven't listened to slash's solo's. Richard nails the solo note for note practically and has a ton of fucking emotion.... bumble is wicked. Robin can be iffy but can also be amazing...

I don't care what anyone else thinks... I love the new gnr.

[johnnythunders24]

Its a set-up when you try to judge them by they rio audio....duh

...and theres dozens of examples of slash fucking up solos on the old bootlegs, but anything the new band does wrong they get crucified...people have these glazed over memories of the old band being perfect...remember november rain on the 1992 vma's? i remember cringing when slash was playing the solos. not bashing slash, most of the time he was fantastic, but he wasnt perfect by any means.

[jimmythegent]

I agree with most of those comments and I think outside the diehard element, that is/will be, the general consensus at this stage

they need to leave the classics well alone and play their own material, fullstop.

[user FKA webmoster]

"i liked Izzy's solo except for the bend, they were out of tune and sounded like he forced emotion into it. Which is of course never a good thing. "

hahaha that guy thought Richard was Izzy

[mrgnrdvd]

the thing is slash normally nailed these solos all by himself and on most nights one of the 3 mess it up

but who cares we have GNR back

[jimmythegent]

but who cares we have GNR back

mmm.. this strain of GNR, is quite a different animal

[killingvector]

LOL. So this is from the Rio broadcast in which half of the instruments were muted in the mix? umm...okay. 

btw, Axl sounds great in that clip, but you can judge from several posters that their minds had already been made up before 

Fortus did his solo very well, btw.

Thal also was very solid.

Robin is...well...Robin.

[jameslofton29]

Nice try, haters.

btw, Axl sounds great in that clip, but you can judge from several posters that their minds had already been made up before?

Why is it that anyone who doesn't worship every performance is labeled a "hater", and their minds were already made up? But people who praise it are labeled 100% correct? I dont get it. People should be able to give their honest opinion without labels being attached. If a non GNR forum thread that had a postive opinion about these guitarists was posted, would you say their minds were already made up?
