What has been your favorite
"NEW"
GnR Period?
For me its prob been the 2000-2002 period.
I just think from 2000-02 lineup had such a great feeling. I was watching a few songs from Rio the other day and I still get the same feeling 7 yrs later....MAGIC!
The band, including Axl, just seems to be at their peak during this time frame. Axl might not have had his best vocals during this time but everything seemed natural and fun. Axl had a less hollywood feel to him as well than he does now and it just seemed like he didnt give a fuck during this period. The band seemed to have more fun on stage during this period as well.
I really hope that magic can be recaptured...
What are your fav. periods of new gnr???

The Axl 2002 voice doesnt work for me, I love it on the blues but thats about it. I didnt care for Robin's Goth look and I didnt care for Paul Tobias too much.
So Present day is definitely my favorite. Everything is clicking, everyone has a defined role and identity.

i completely agree, although i still enjoyed the new songs etc, i still found the whole band disjointed (in image and probably in musical direction at that time). Its much better in 2007, the band look like a "band", they look friendly and comfortable in their own skin and with eachother, which is a good thing for those who call it "the axl rose show"

More fun in 2002?
Don't agree at all.
How many surprise shows did they play then?
I would say 2006 to present.

2001-2002 was a special time. the vegas new years gig 2000 was the first gig in 7 years. all the speculation and waiting all built into that show. and the 2002 tour was very special as well. vegas 2000 was one of the best shows ever, hands down.

That makes no sense at all what is my favorite period of NEW gnr?
Anyways for me overall I say 86-89 , just raw and real.
For new GN'R I saw from when BF joined and on , making it 06-to present. I think its a lot more funner now than in '02 , Axl is on top of his vocals and the band is not tight just musically but personally!!

I think the original poster is way off in everything he says.
Look at the facts:
2002: One New York show
2006: Five plus one surprise show
2002: One London show
2006: Three plus one surprise show
2002: A few radio interviews, short Axl interview at the VMAs (did I miss anything?)
2006: Spends hours telling stories and listening to songs on Eddie Trunk's radio show.
2001: Rock In Rio 3 on TV
2006: Rock In Rio Lisbon, Rock Am Ring, Inland Invasion (web stream)
2002: GN'R plays shows.
2006-7: GN'R plays shows and bring out old and new friends on stage (Izzy, Baz, Bubbles, Angry, Lars)
How you come to the conclusion that the band and Axl seemed to have more fun in 2002 is beyond me. I don't get it.
Pointing out that Axl was "less Hollywood" in 2002 as a good thing.
Axl goes out more in 2006-7 and that's suddenly a bad thing.
Maybe you just miss Buckethead and the only thing that matters to you is that he was in the band in 2002?

The only thing I missed in the 2006/07 gigs was Rhiad. Other than that, the current period is by far better in every aspect.

What about the original thread starter who says things like "everything seemed natural and fun".
How you come to
that
conclusion with the facts we have today is just something I don't understand.

It's called an opinion , thats what you don't understand.....
Everything seemed fun and natural , to him , in his eyes , in his own opinion. I mean for gods sake
"Maybe you just miss Buckethead and the only thing that matters to you is that he was in the band in 2002?"
It seems like anytime someone enjoys any other era except from today it is followed by
"Maybe you just miss -insert former member here- and the only thing that matters to you is that he was in the band in -insert era-?"
What facts? Surprise shows? Interviews? Maybe some people prefer , no actually some people DO prefer '02 , its called opinion...

No, I'm very aware that opinions are like assholes....
You don't understand, still don't even after your first ban, that when I see an opinion I disagree with, I will say so.

Sure. In his eyes it might've. But he didn't specify
anything
. Like what made him come to that conclusion.
As you might've noticed, I gave examples of why I think 2006/7 seemed more fun for the band.
So you can read the facts and then think "oh, OK I see why you think so" instead of just reading "2006 was fun".

Aren't those facts?
I don't know how to explain it to you if it doesn't make any sense.
Quote from: Feel_The_Burn on March 19, 2008, 04:49:32 PM

And we're back to the original point: Why?
As I already said, I explained
why
I disagree. It's called a discussion.
You're just arguing with me for the sake of arguing. You have yet to add
anything
to the topic. Surprise, surprise.
Some of the people who prefer 2002 also wish the band would get to play more new songs. Compare the set lists from the US 2002 tour to the 2006 US tour and you'll notice that they played more new songs in 2006. So, are they saying the band was happier and had more fun when they played less new songs?

I'm gonna go with 2006 til now. Primarily because the current incarnation is definitely my favorite line up Axl has had since the new century began. Other factors are getting to finally see Axl live in 06. I was at the first Hammerstein show and it was probably the happiest I've ever been at any of the hundreds of shows I've been to in my life. Also based on the bootlegs I've heard early in the decade Axl's voice sounded horrible, at least in my opinion. In 2006-Now everything I heard, especially in person, his voice sounded better than on the UYI tour. Better than ever maybe. Throw in the fact that CD has never seemed closer to coming to fruition and this to me is the golden age of the new GnR.

whenever my answer is everly present and the future.
Quote from: younggunner on March 18, 2008, 05:51:44 PM
I just think from 2000-02 lineup had such a great feeling. I was watching a few songs from Rio the other day and I still get the same feeling 7 yrs later....MAGIC!
The band, including Axl, just seems to be at their peak during this time frame. Axl might not have had his best vocals during this time but everything seemed natural and fun. Axl had a less hollywood feel to him as well than he does now and it just seemed like he didnt give a fuck during this period. The band seemed to have more fun on stage during this period as well.
so it seems to me too, save that the band in 2006~2007seemed to be again at their peak and to have no Hollywood feels(the peasant look is far from it!) on stage but more fun than then. the 02 image that 8 dudes coming from different genres harmonize well as a band unaffectedly was very fresh to me as well however I don't think it would be still fresh to see live after many years.
Did you see any show in your fav period yourself?
Having got into this band in 2003 I always have a special spot for the visionary lineup and your old posts full of love for the band.
fortunately since 2006 I've seen the band actually going stronger than ever. Now the real things.
I wouldn't miss great things happening right now by missing things of the past. never for something I didn't even get to see.
Moreover, I don't see a reason to take sides. They are not conflicting to each other.
If you're hurt thinking the band betrayed your confidence by altering what you'd defended, younggunner, you're dead wrong. whatever lineup, axl and robin wouldn't cling to one style forever anyway. but the magic continues. The present isn't denying the previous period. They are both periods in Chinese democracy and we've only seen the prologue to it.
false friends are all you hear and no one is speaking the same language. You know, the intro of Chinese democracy. Then the guitar starts to stop 2wice/a few times till it starts in earnest. Each call builds up the excitement. the first start has such a great feeling. then the second time it sounds more solid and confident. You might like one period better than the other but.... does it really matter??
