Current GNR lineup or old?(Changed name due to smart asses)

Guns N' Roses will die the day Axl dies. That's all.

No way. Sebastian Bach will replace him

[Mr.Brownstone7]

i think youre so in love with axl rose and you cant see what would be good for your favorite band 

if you think he can go on with the same success just using the name guns n roses and replacing the original band members with a few other guys i cant change your mind...


@ mj23
for me ignorant and ridiculous is to consider robin (or any other member) guns n roses and not wanting duff, slash, izzy back

but this is just my opinion

I am not married with Axl nor am I in love with him. I appreciate the music and I appreciate it when I have a good time while listening to some stuff. That's all. And some of you still don't get the point. It ain't about replacing the old guys. The old guys left the band (well Izzy, Slash and Duff while Steven was fired). This band now is GN'R. No matter how much you disagree and how often you post new topics about it. It is a fact. The new record will have its place in GN'R discography. You will choose whether you like it or not and whether you will buy it or not.

You are right. But only with the last words of the sentenece. I don't want Slash, Duff and Matt back.
They are not a part of GN'R right now. I really anticipate the new record just to make all non-believers stop the talking.
Having seen the band perform the older songs, especially "Rock am Ring - Nightrain" made me even more sure that the band kicks ass as far as the old tunes are concerned. To me a lot of the AFD tunes sound even stronger and better than in the old days.
And one more annoying thing in some threads is "does a guitar shredder like Ron or a second keyboarder like Chris" fit in GN'R. Yes of course. And I bet if someone would have made up the question in 1987 if GN'R needs a keyboarder or a piano ballad, you would have get the same answers and comments like these days.
Give them time to prove themselves on the record.

well said mj23

[Mr.Brownstone7]

ok you re right i shouldnt have used the word replace..they left....but why??i guess ''someone'' made them leave...

and yes the new record will have its place in gnr discography...but not in my heart at least...i will buy it and maybe i will like it....but it wont sound like guns n roses thats 100% sure...

on the other hand i anticipate the reunion not only because i want to, but also because i want to see what will you say or where will you hide...

and about the new members performing the olders songs better, go listen/watch some 86-93 shows maybe it will remind you what the truth is on that subject

I would say: "Cool, let's see if they can rock the house again!"-but that will NOT happen.
Why should I hide? For what? For being realistic? 
C'mon, don't be a little kid. Face the fact that these times are gone, maybe they will come together for a show like introduction in the "Hall of Fame" or whatever, but right now I even doubt this possibility.

and about the new members performing the olders songs better, go listen/watch some 86-93 shows maybe it will remind you what the truth is on that subject

I am a fan since 1987 and I know what I am talking about. The truth is: Nightrain from "Rock am Ring" 2006 is better than any Nightrain done by the original line-up. Better as far as my taste is concerned. Why should your opinion on this be of greater value than mine? Are you serious???
You are claiming that there are a lot of fans looking for a reunion. Maybe yes. But there are a lot of fans who celebrate this band, these guys that are Guns N' Roses.
I am really looking forward to hearing the studio versions of the new songs. I prefer to have the one "original" member left and to recognize the music than to listen to some songs done by a "pseudo-casting" group with a lousy singer. 
Therefore "Chinese Democracy" will have a special place right beside the other GN'R releases, and I will have it there with pride.

I love how some people think its up to them to decide what is Guns N Roses.   What an immature stance.   You don't get to make this decision, so if you are, fuck off.   GnR is GnR (todays lineup) and no whining asshole can change that. 

[Nightfall]

I'm talking about live performance, and please only people who have seen both GNR in 2006 and pre-1994.

I am very curious to see the results.

New all the way...atleast when they are fucked up they still can perform properly the old band couldn't.

i think youre wrong
but even if you are not thats not a fact to support your opinion

since when are we discussing facts? we are discussing opinions here.
but if you want facts..just collect some bootlegs...and watch them
though i learned the hard way..and 1993 was a fucked up year, even worse then 2002 American leg of the tour.

I love how some people think its up to them to decide what is Guns N Roses.? ?What an immature stance.? ?You don't get to make this decision, so if you are, fuck off.? ?GnR is GnR (todays lineup) and no whining asshole can change that.?

after this post i know im not wrong
cause you badmouth someone when u dont have nothing else to say and support what you believe...

and nightfall 93 was not good yes but the show i attended was good enough
2002 american leg??whats that??
