Bumblefoot to assist to ''Loaded'' concert and probably ''with guitar in hand'

[GnR-NOW]

As long as Ron can nail the TWAT solo I'm happy 

[ShotgunBlues1978]

why shouldn't Duff play songs he was apart of?

Hell, he is playing ISE and Dust N Bones for fuck's sake, it isn't like he is playing Jungle PC or SCOM or NR

Hell, i wish Axl would play Dust N Bones.

He should play whatever GNR songs he wants to, as any musician should

Every version of GNR doesn't do an assload of cover songs live, I don't see how someone could get upset with Duff or whoever for playing GNR songs they wrote or even ones they didn't write

[Trist805]

I think it is one thing for Axl to go out as GNR, or even for Slash, Duff, and Matt to play those songs together as VR, but sorry that I have no interest in seeing just Duff playing those GNR songs, in some bar ,with a bunch of other guys.   Same goes for Slash.  How many times do they have to play It's So Easy out at the shows?

The people who go to the shows want to see it

In theory, if things had shaken out differently and Axl was performing as a solo artist or in another band, I would still want to see him do GNR songs

Duff wrote It's So Easy with another guy who was never in GNR.  Even if it's a GNR song, he has as much a right as anyone to perform it

[estebanf]

I think Axl clearly talked to Duff at some point in these years, and they kinda solved their problems. Who knows... maybe Duff apologised for all the harm he did to guns with all the lawsuits, and Axl felt it was ok to forgive him. They were huge friends, and people can change their minds. Axl's words about a hypothetical Duff appearence in a GNR show kinda let us know that something changed from the ''meaning my former friends'' rant at Rock In Rio III and today. And that's cool.

Obviously, I'm just speculating. If this happens to be the case, I think its not only ok, its also cool to see this kind of guest appearences involving current and former GNR members.

But if this is not the case, I have to admit I agree with the guy who talked about ''loyalty''. For example, I REALLY would hate to see any GNR member having anything to do with Slash. We should not be eternally resentful, but we should NEVER forget what Slash did to the band we all love after he voluntary quit the band. He did nothing but harming the band. I cant forget VR promoting itself with the GNR name, I cant forget all the lawsuits, I cant forget the ''halloween incident'' and I'm pretty sure Axl and the rest of the band have at least 1000000000000 more and more solid arguments than me to want Slash far away from Guns.

I kinda have mixed emotions about this. But I think I can differentiate between Duff and Slash. They're not ''the same'' in all this subject.

Have u even heard Duff do these songs? They sound fan fucking tastic

[estebanf]

Have u even heard Duff do these songs? They sound fan fucking tastic

does it really matter?

The answer is yes anyway.

And I agree with you, they sound great

[draguns]

Estban, have you ever thought that maybe Duff forgave Axl as well?!remember, there's always 3 sides to every story. You have each parties side and then the truth. Personally, I think this is a good step. I liked this collaboration. I think that when GNR gets inducted to the  Hall of Fame that it won't be as awkward as the Van Halen induction. 

[falungong69]

okay, fine.  everyone here now seems to think duff is acceptable enough for the new band to support him. 

but can we all please agree that never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever would it be okay for any of the new guys to play with/be friends with slash?  we have to draw a line somewhere.

I don't agree

U gotta realize. Axl has had all of this inside for 10 years. the more he gets it out, the closer he will be able to get to forgiving

So don't shut the door forever on Slash

typical annoying reunion talk.  what part of CANCER don't you understand?

you wanting to open the door for slash is like hoping that guns n' roses and axl get cancer.

Richard has seen VR live.  What does it matter?  I think its all kind of cool...

yes, of course.

It's just that I really dont care about what Axl could have done to Duff, because I dont care about Duff. By the other hand, I know what Duff did to something I care and I've learned to love: GN'R. And this is all bout GNR, not the personal issues that Axl and Duff might have.

[jacdaniel]

I think it's kind of lame for him to be playing old GNR tunes with Loaded when they have plenty of Loaded songs and even VR songs.

VR is still going, which is why he probably doesnt play them songs.  He also plays AC/DC and Judas priest etc.  is that lame?

[jazjme]

back from the LI show tonight, what another great show, Ron did show up, Say what you will but the guys are friends, and have mutual respect. When Ron goes on stage he isnt playing the GNR stuff, thats DUff, stuff, and the crowd loves it. Instead Ron comes out and they jam classic tunes, and DUff talks about the evolutions and inspirations that went from a wide spectrum. And he always acknowledges GNR. And sorry some of you really need to grow up . I can say the show Tues, was far more intense, moshing stage dive, but LI is a bit more subdued , even so it was easier to just talk to the guys, and appreciate the work. And the crowd was great. Some forum members I ran into there its always a pleasure and great time to see and be able to connect and enjoy the music,Its not fucking politics.

okey-dokey then - dont go and dont watch the clips. simple as that.  Duff can play what he wants.
Ron and duff look like they had a blast - they are both musicians, playing live and enjoying themselves - who are you to tell them what they can/cant play?  The GnR songs Duff plays are ones he was originally involved in - it's not like he cranked out Better with Ron now is it?!  I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Loaded play Dust n'Bones last year, never thought I'd hear that one live by any GnR member past or present.

lets not get too serious on this.  Loaded are a good band and Ron and Duff obviously enjoyed playing together - good for them.  The end.

Who would it not be okay for?  You?    the fan's?    Axl?
If the current members do have the input into this band that you all suggest, then surely it is THEIR choice if they choose to play with Slash, just like Josh did.  Its not Axl's choice and its none of your business.

before i say this, Don't get me wrong, i DONT really want a reunion either.

But it would be SO funny to get your reaction if Axl and Slash did forgive each other.  Not just you, everyone on this board.

We should not be eternally resentful, but we should NEVER forget what Slash did to the band we all love after he voluntary quit the band.

Maybe Axl is still a little bitter about that?  It did effectively end that version of the band.


As for the actual topic.  Loaded rock and put on an awesome show!  I strongly recommend that you all go see em.  And jamming with Ron would make it even cooler

I think it was awsome that Ron played a couple classic rock songs with Duff , Stone In love is one of my favorite Journey songs! Anyways its up to anyone to play with whoever they chose. I dont know who "we" is or why someone has to be "accepted" by you to be played with. This is not some cult , there are no restrictions on who to play with.

Axl and Slash on a stage , sure it's unlikely. But if any other member of the band wants to play with Slash, Duff , Steven Tyler , hell any respectable musician.

All the so called reunion talk ends right here.

This thread is about Ron jamming on a  bunch of rock classics with Loaded.

For fun!
