ive noticed everyone is in south america axl should join too

If Axl was involved with everyone else at this point, In my mind we would have an album and they would be touring under GNR.

I am happy for the guys to get out and play, but how can this can anything but bad for GNR? No release date in sight plus no touring since these guys are busy and no album. If something was coming down the pipe, these guys would be gearing up for PR for the album and touring. It's a shame for us gnr die-hards..

I want to hear from the people who overly criticized Slash for performing with Fergie calling him a sellout with no integrity... and see what they have to say about Richard, Dizzy, & Frank performing with Rhianna. I don't have a problem with it, because I did not have a problem when Slash did it. Besides, nothing urgent seems to be going on in the GNR world that these days, so why not go out and work with other artists and get paid for it. Good for them. But it is funny how some here have a double standard when it comes to this stuff.

The difference is Richard is helping out a friend ..... so that's a +1 on the side of integrity. 

Point 2:  Richard draws the line when it comes to performing with artists who are not potty trained.   



It's cool that artists outside the rock genre recognize Richard's talents.  And who knows, maybe some of those Rhianna fans will check out GNR after seeing/hearing Richard. 
Sounds like a fun gig.  Hope Richard has a great time.

They never do what is the "norm", you know that!! Right?

[Hudson]

GypsySoul... I agree with all your points... except all those points apply to Slash as well. Thus, you are applying a double standard in your argument. Slash was helping out a friend. He did expose himself to fans of another genre. In doing so he may have intriguiged their interest to hopefully come check him or VR out in the future.

And I am sure he did have fun jamming with Fergie.

The potty trained thing... does not make sense whatsoever. If anything the one who would need potty training is Rhianna since I am sure she is younger than Fergie.

Maybe you should go stay in the VR section then?


Is Richard performing GN'R classics with Rihanna? No.
Is Richard playing GN'R classics with the Best Buy band? No.



People need to learn how to read. These dates end in early November.

If GN'R was playing shows in late October or early November, I think it would've been announced already.

First of all Richard isn't a multi-millionaire like slash. He has to work to pay his bills. Slash on the other hand is rich, and plays with pop artists just to get some spotlight. Secondly Dizzy and Frank were not playing with Rihianna, they were playing with The Psychedelic Furs.

[jarmo]

Also, he'll be playing a show with the Psychedelic Furs at Jack's Third Show on September 27th, 2008 in Irvine, CA at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

Really, there is no reason to compare the situations at all. Slash is a living legend, and Richard is a nobody by comparison. Slash was/is one of the most recognizable guitarists alive so tons of artists would love to be associated with him. I have a feeling Richard comes a little cheaper. Not trying to knock the guy, but it's night and day. I am not a huge fan of either playing with other artists, but I don't care. I don't have to hear it unless I choose to.

But only one of them is in the band you claim to be a fan of.


If Richard is a nobody, what does it make you?

[Gritty]

Touche, I'm not claiming to be anybody, and like I said, I'm not trying to knock the guy, he's a fantastic guitarist, but Slash is Slash. Do you not agree? Richard is relatively unknown considering he is in GNR. If you asked the majority of people on the street, they would know Slash, I'd be surprised if anyone I know had even heard of Fortus.

And I'm a fan of GNR because of the music I heard when Slash was in the band. When CD comes out, who knows, maybe RF will have comparable impact as Slash, but until then, he is a hired gun in a new version of GNR that hasn't given us anything to suggest he will ever be held in the same regard.

[Gritty]

And yes, I realize that's probably not his goal.

[cineater]

Switching up on the topic.  

I'm getting lost with everybody's side project schedules.  And not that it is going to happen but is anyone seeing where there could be a release party scheduled in there?  A time when everyone is off and could get together say maybe in LA some where?  Say around Thanksgiving?

Maybe if you weren't so busy continually bringing up ex-gunners in the section for CURRENT GNR BAND MEMBERS, things would make sense to you.

Everyone is just working I guess?  Hey ya gotta eat for sure.  Could it be they all found new work entirely.  Maybe it's just coincidence?   It's also weird that none of the "current" members have no website mentions of GnR.  Some have no links.  Some are under construction.  All of them are out doing other than GnR stuff.  Old members actually have more info on GnR than GnR and it is confusing and kind of disturbing.  I guess we can only just wait till we hear something new.

if he wants to go out and play more power to him, he along with every other musician can play with whoever the fuck they want.

Even though I don't agree, he didn't say that fortus was a nobody. He said fortus is a nobody when compared to slash. On a relative basis, one can say that is a fair statement.

By that comparison, Izzy Stradlin is a nobody as well. 

I bet he doesn't get recognized on the street every day or get his face on video game boxes.

Yet, he had a big part in GN'R's past.
