Slash Comments On The Del James Interview

[carmiedisco12]

Slash is currently starting recording his solo album with josh Freese on drums!

GNR will never be a 'band' again until the lineup is solid enough to have a 'band' photo taken that can accompany an actual album.

If Axl's answer to who's in the band is....'lets go with who's on the album' then obviously its not a band, its a loose definition of a solo album with a few long term friends.
That's a shame
Cos u lose the name and we all still get the same music without all these arguments.

Unfortunately time has revealed the answers to  a lot of the argumets that were going on when I first found this site 5-8 yrs ago, and it's a damn shame, cos I loved GNR.

On topic, Josh Freese is an awesome drummer, and I hope some of the old raw Slash mised with his gift for melody is back. Though IMO Slash was always the awesome finisher, he's not at his best as the constructor of a tune.

I'm sure your posts sound intellegent and wellthought? damn near excellent eh?

Not cool..

If you're gonna get personal, take it to PM's.

Understood?

[Limulus]

that was just an answer on his last 2 personal attacking posts at me. rarely like this but if thats the way he/she only can play can be in the game, too.
and actually those attacks can easily be interpretated like i said, so its not that far off. but why not re-reading his/her crap before answering a post you dislike? eh?
there is some huge problem here when people are trying to discuss things that often someone jumps right within attacking on a personal level for whatever reasons. when you disagree with others' views talking about things but go attacking personal its a lack of discussion skills. a bigger one.

Wait..

Aren't you the guy wishing for a reunion so you're own happiness can be attained?

Are people like you ever going to move on from the whole name issue?

[jarmo]

no, Jarmo, we were talking about facts, remember? re-read your own exact quote and you can see where the misunderstanding started. you are the one giving room for interpretation there. fact 

Yeah, it's true that you can always twist my words to mean something they don't.

Congrats.


Are you happy with the explanation now or do you still insist I meant something else?

as for my "Thanks for the European tour 2006" text under my avatar.....its gone for some weeks, thought that about 2 years of thanking was enough. i "moved on", ya know? not living in 2006 anymore   but find the new avatar GN'R quote realistic these days. off course it might change any day, exspecially IF Axl + back up band surprises me some more again live or with new releases.

It didn't say "Axl + backing band". I guess something must've happened to you in those two years....

A new release? What, the, fuck.

and please stop posting your assumpted little personal attacks about me and/or others as if i'd watch the classic-line-up dvds day in day out all the time. the idea gave me a good laugh though   

Says the guy attacking/insulting others who oppose his views....  

HAHAHA!  Come on!  Axl not motivated by success!  Then why the hell did he try to perfect an album for 15 years! 

Because he puts his art first instead of money and fame?

[Falcon]

that was just an answer on his last 2 personal attacking posts at me. .

Either way, it's not acceptable here.

So in a word:

Stop.

[Limulus]

my avatar never had the GN'R b(r)and name so wth.
Jarmo, a new release can be a lot more than a new album which surely isnt on the radar in the near future. let it be a video, a re-release (there was official talking about a better booklet) with maybe even some bonus like an official dvd-docu or bonus tracks, official live-shows (as Metallica offers for example) etc.  i still can get excited about things if they are made some good in my ratings. actually my main hopes are for different setlists and thats not too unrealistic.

[oldgunsfan]

People want to see their rockers rocking out but there is no one besides Axl that anyone can become emotionally attached to. 

I disagree.   Axl is the biggest draw, always has been, always will be.  But you are completely discrediting the rest of the guys in the band.

True, Axl is the biggest draw in the band. Not true that jemin was discrediting the rest of the guys in the band.  Whenever they tour, what, their's gonna be some sort of emotional attachment to the guitarist's? No offense to the newer guys but the only one left thats been there a while and made major contributions to CD is Richard Fortus and a little bit from Thal, who only played one tour with the band.  I think that's what jemin was getting at.

Chris and Brain have both been in the band longer than Richard and have a few writing credits compared to no writing credits for Richard.

Plus, they're on virtually every song whereas Richard is only on like 5 songs.

[Jim Bob]

why does it really matter who was on what songs or who wrote what?

thats silly..

It doesn't matter to me at all, I was merely pointing out that what classicgunsfan was saying is false.

i was speaking of the lead guitarists mainly, bucket since he's all over and makes the record and fink.

[lynn1961]

Careful where you tread and what you say, there, you guys.  Remember, we only support the 2009 version, here.

You still mentioned "major contributions to CD from Richard" eventhough he's only on like 5 tracks and has no writing credits:

[CheapJon]

oldgunsfan, u don't know what you're talking about

I'm pretty sure ron is on every song on the record man.. and he has been on 3 tours not one  and it's his third year and got great contact with the band and fans right away

and lynn, i'm pretty sure we're supporting the only GNR there is to support, we can't go back in time and support anything, we can support the present for the future though

btw, I was sure that this was slash thread, guess i was wrong

man, I bet you're huge on coverbands!

i don't go to forums about coverbands or follow what they do, but you see a lot of them when you live in las vegas and some of them are all right.   

i go to a show to enjoy the music and the live band experience.   Axl has never brought a lineup of GnR out on tour that has disappointed me yet, and I don't think that will change.

I don't sit there and over analyze everything like some people.   I go to have a good time.
