Fortus Live With X-Japan Live Video

[Atillla]

Last few days Fortus joined re-formed X-Japan on a few songs.

Yes, very bad audio, but he is in there.. together with Wes Borland ex-Limp Biz, but who cares about him 

*edit* more video's added as I find them :

Hey, where have you been? 

[ben9785]

Yes it was an unbelievable experience watching the shows 'live' (or as best as I could with the buffering stream).

Richard was very energetic onstage as always, it was good to see him and PATA playing together, two of my favorite guitarists.

There is one X Japan fan forum called x-freaks that I frequent which actually does have alot of GNR fans and hence, people who were familiar with Richard, and appreciate him greater seeing his performance with X Japan. Hopefully if they continue to tour (and it doesn't interrupt any GNR plans), he will play with them.

[Atillla]

I found many high quality vids of the shows but not of the songs with Richard in them, so I'll update when I get them 

[Killingmachine]

great idea to keep busy, although the band sucks...

[suntorytime]

that's your opinion I don't particulary desagree on.... shhh, X japan has a huge rabid following .
have you seen wes's comments?

Richard rocks anyway.

Hi Christos!  I forgot my password twice.
Hi djcleaver!

People might not be aware of this but Richard only played one or two songs with them, not the full set.

[ppbebe]

We understand that ben and attilla is posting the one or two songs for us.

This is a little off topic but I got an e-mail from Richard today, he's writing a Psychedelic Furs record  with Richard Butler right now and is planning on doing some dates with them (not sure when)-seems like a great guy, I love his playing-he said he's played with the furs in Cleveland (where I'm from) and with Love spit love)-I just think think he's been awsome with Guns live.

Cheers for that update, been following his projects. I think he is the best guitarist in GnR atthe moment, should get all leads if you ask me 

[Fingers]

He had me at the 2002 vma's-especially on Madagascar and playing Paradise City-the smile on his face, he was playing with so much enthusiasm

[Fernando]

Good stuff...
