Absolutely. Slash WAS a huge part of the original line-up, Appetite WAS a great album, November Rain WAS a great video. Now it's time to move on. Yes, some people don't like the new album, or think it's average. Yes, some people will never be fans of anything but the old line-up, and that is all fine. They are entitled to their opinion. However, G N' R is what it is.
Should you wish to discuss what G N' R isn't, or what it was, there is an area of this forum devoted to fans of the previous line-up. There are also many forums around exclusively dedicated to the old line-up.
Your absolutely right Uber! I generally do keep to my own sections. I appreciate that you have some positive things to say about everything. What i couldn't stand was seeing a whole thread were people were putting slash down. I felt the need to jump in and try to say something to defend the man.

Mind you there are new generation of fans who couldn't get into GNR for the 20 century sounding and found cd mind blowing.

Well below average music is discussed here:
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=15.0
Stay there and enjoy!
By the way, next time you want to use the report to moderator feature, you might wanna take a look at your
own
posts before doing so.
You just act like an upset Slash fan trolling the GN'R section, and then report those who tell you to get lost.

Please go away.
You are contributing nothing to this discussion. It's gone from being about the interview to being Slash vs. Axl. Like we haven't had dozens of those threads already over the years.

i'm not sure but i think this whole
slash-bash-fest
as you'd call it started with slashers crying about axl revealing his feelings about slash
most Axl and current GNRfans focused on the other things axl said

But somewhat those slashers managed to read just the parts regarding to the old line-up and claim the interview to be only about slash.
I doubt if they read further than the headlines.

Exactly.
Anybody who still has trouble understanding why GN'R has three guitar players:
Seriously, past Guns records have only two. Why did you feel the need for more on this endeavor?
I understand it's for whatever reason a bit of a challenge for most people to feel comfortable in their minds with any band having more than two guitarists, but technically, as far as our recording goes, we're a bit more alike with the older recordings than one might think. On the older records, though, it's very distinct that there are generally two guitar parts -- each part is actually performed and recorded twice, giving a fuller sound, so in effect you have four guitars. Leads and fills are another pass, and often songs were originally written and demos were done with other guitarists as well.
On 'Chinese,' instead of having the same player double his part, we chose to add another voice and either each player's own take on the part or their take of another's, then there's leads and fills which vary from one person or a few on a track. Also on this record, though, you may have one player playing more than one part in a section; they generally tend to be two distinct parts and not overdubs or harmonizing with their own leads or fills. No way is better than another; it's just whatever works for what you're trying to do, what you personally want or for whatever reason you feel you either need, choose or like.
For this record, I wanted a blend of different-style sounds and approaches; some at least a bit unique to the individual players and their takes on these songs. I feel the different personalities and techniques give the material its own sense of originality. Live, I prefer the more solid approach of the three guitars now, especially as the performances with the rhythm are more energetic, consistent and reliable. It was fun having Izzy on board a bit adding yet another voice to the mix and seemed to work better for the songs this way, as opposed to having him by himself.

The interview isn't only about Slash in same way hard core porn isn't only about sex.
There are plot structures, credits.. lots of stuff.

IMHO, the interview was about what's going on with Axl. To me, the answer about Robin did a lot, as I'm hoping to have him back on Guns. Also, there is some interesting stuff there too:

I love this ques/answer:
Why so many guitars on 'Chinese Democracy'?
Why not?
damn right! why not indeed. It worked well and in a live setting certainly throws the punches!
cheers del and Axl for this - i was interested in what he said of the Illusions drums too as nowadays as i listen to them, the drums seem to be the least energetic instrument on there, just seem flat in comparison to everything else, maybe its the production too.

when you have a sub-par band, you get sub-par performances.
