Instead of the solos

[jc524]

i'd like to hear some bbf songs, that'd be cool

[Locomotive98]

I just hate the solos! They make the set seem really flabby unstructured...I know Axl's getting old, but a set of song after song, without these painful breaks would be so much better...if I have to listen to Dizzy play another solo I might just start singing the next song myself!

Also, I've never really liked Dizzy, even from when he started, he just doesn't seem it fit in...am I alone on this?

Your not alone, Ive never liked Dizzy from the start either. At least he doesnt look like the fat knacker of old though!

Always thought he was a bit pointless. Oh well, he must be pleased that the most pointless member position has been usurped.

[AxlFink]

like ive said before... let tommy do a solo song.  also, the entire band should do more jams.  the jams are cool.  but more planned out and throw in some cool allman bros style improv.  axl likes derek trucks.  so let the band do some blues jams instead of solos.  The solo Fink does before SCOM is really cool though.

[Locomotive98]

They shouldnt do blues jams thats for sure, theyre no more blues than Nsync to me. The blues element of their band was forced out long ago.

Scrap the solos and sing more songs Axl, seems straightforward to me, if you cant sing because you need to spend time hooked up to a hose or whatever at gigs then you you shouldnt be a rock star.

They should put him on an advert 'Im Axl Rose and I cant sing cos I smoke cigarettes. Kids, if you want to spend time honking oxygen at gigs, then light up - remember, extended Christina Aguilera solos are a hazard to your health'.

[The Blob]

Everything is better than those boring solos... And I guess 99,99% from the people (and real Gn'R fans) hates them. 

If Axl can't sing for 2 hours:
Then, they should play only 1,5 hour, but without the solos. Song after song, without the crap!
or Gn'R should play 2 hour, with some songs, singed by Stinson for example.

And instead that Bumblefoot plays Don't Cry on guitar only, why don't they (Gn'R) play the song!!! 

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

i love the solos

it's cool.
it makes the whole experience unique.
i dont want straigth live songs. in a row.
the solos make the whole thing an experience, a night out. something different.

AXL DO NOT DROP THE SOLOS.

and i am no guitarist, so i'm sure guitar players must enjoy these solos even more.

[Locomotive98]

They just dont do it for me at all. Aguilera? Jeez. That thing that Finck plays before SCOm - just terrible. Dont Cry by Thal - just play the whole damn tune guys? Or do you not know how to play it? You are GNR right??! Oh sorry, I forgot.

[manjuice]

     I can't believe what you kids are saying. It's like you guys want GNR to be just another pop band.  The solos are fucking great, if you don't enjoy at least some of the solos you shouldn't be listening to this type of music, it's just not for you. You should be listening to a more simplistic type of music, music with only a couple of chords. I Seriously can not believe what you kids are writing, I am seriously shocked. I know it all comes down to preference but jeez dudes, I was seriously suprised to read the crap you guys write and very few people arguing back. WOW. I hope no one important reads this stuff and conforms to your guy's idiotic views (not all of you) and ruins it for the dudes that have been down with GNR for a decade +.

[Locomotive98]

'Its like you want GNR to be another pop band'

Hmm thats why I DONT want them to be playing Christina Aguilera songs my friend.

Plus, Ive listened to GNR for 19 years - is that ok for you?

If your such an old fan you should realise that the band in question is not GNR - despite what it says on the ticket stub.

[sea of black]

I agree that the solo's just have to go!

Maybe Slash could get away with his solos back in the day, but man, he was such a major part of GNR he could carry them off, but as for these new guys, the solos just are so dull...lets keep it to the songs, that's why people buy the tickets...

[The Blob]

The Godfather Theme by Slash was OK... but even then they could have played a real Gn'R song instead!

In my opinion, the more real songs, the better!

I was at Graspop and almost everybody there hated the solos. They could have played Chinese Democracy, Think About You, Madagascar and There Was A Time, but nooooooooooow... Fucking solo's... 

They played only 16 songs... 

Pearl Jam plays 30+ songs on their recent concerts. I wish Gn'R could do that!!! 

[purplehaze1988]

1) the average pearl jam song is far shorter than GNRs

2) pearl jam arent touring the UK, so they can suck my balls

also, on topic, solos are ok but the ones that this GNR plays arent really very good

[highend88]

Instead of the solo, maybe Dizzy should do his song "the air".

It rocks man!!!

[Slipdisc]

I really like Ron's solo's. Being a longtime Bumblehead (or Bucketfoot) fan, I really have a soft spot for some crazy disharmonic arpeggios and fast runs. His rendition of "Don't cry" is beautiful. However, I would really love to see Ron do one of his own songs, preferably one with vocals, like Delilah. Or a little bluesy jam on his fretless Vigier Excalibur Surfreter, one of the most beautiful instruments (both in sound as in looks) ever, IMHO.

-PEACE-

Yeah, I know that PJ songs are shorter, but you know what I mean...

Gn'R playing 22-24 songs for instance... 10 from appetite, some lies, a few illusions and a couple of new songs! And they should play RECKLESS LIFE as opener!!!

Dude, the solos suck: listen and look around you at the next show

Slash doing a solo is bit different that these guys doing their solos: Slash... is Slash (sorry, everybody knows that says it all) and these guys are plain awful

I have been a GNR fan for 18+ years

[slash8596]

The solos are ok but I cant stand Bumblefoot and Fincks tone when they play solo. Its so muddy and thin, its awful. Finck should bring out some NIN.

[Taylor Hicks]

they should play something by The Doors...  Show off the keyboards and play something cool... just some medley or something like that.

[Lucky]

they should play the solos at the end of the show.
that way we can leave if we dont feel like listenin to it
