holy shit! this is THE BEST gnr line-up EVER!

[peter7411226]

Ok, I see.

But in order to achieve what you're describing, several guitar parts would've been removed. Because the person isn't in the band anymore.

Now, if that had happened, the album would obviously be different and it's only possible to speculate about its qualities compared to the actual released album.

I agree. Unfortunately we will never know.

[DeN]

maybe we will know if Axl decides to do something about CD history, sort of a making of, with demos, videos, interviews...
I would love to know everything about it, that could be one of the greatest DVD in rock music, really.

Best GNR lineup ever?! I would have to respectfully disagree as well. I think the best lineup was the AFD/UYI lineup. As good as the musicians are, I  feel that the chemistry is still not there for this version of GNR. That's just my opinion.

[Continental Drift]

I am sure there are many bands out there with "better" chemistry than Guns... but they're not about to head into the studio and come up with something as powerful or as technically elaborate as "Prostitute" (for example) IMHO.

Anyway, I'm not a musician... so it's quite possible I'm missing something here... but I think "chemistry" is overrated. It seems to me it's one of those things you just need to have "enough" of to function successfully.... and I think Guns has had solid (i.e. more than adequate) "chemistry" since at least 2006. 

As far as the current line-up being the best ever... I hope so! That would really be something incredible as the bar has been left very high by their predecessors ("new" and "old").

[ppbebe]

I think it's rather underrated.

Blame it on the falungong!!

they seen the end and you can't hold on now!

hehe I love cd better than any other album.
overproduction my ass. there surely is chemistry.

anyhoo go on.
I have my popcorn ready.

How is there chemistry if this new lineup hasnt played a single gig yet?

since I finished my popcorn
It don't really matter
I guess we'll find out for ourselves.

I said there's great chemistry on the album as well as at the shows. Doesn't matter if you don't feel it as far as I do.
Probably it also takes the chemistry between the band and the audience.

For the same reason it doesn't really matter whether it is currently considered as the biggest band in the world that sells millions or not. Or you should be following the bands like Coldplay instead. do you hear me jacdaniel?

That said, mind you I'm not alone. There are quite a few new fans because of the album. 

[gcluskey]

yeah whatever! GnR forever but don't agree!

[seely]

Until we get a tour or new album, we can only wait and see, but i am hopefull!
Though i dont think any other band whatsoever can beat the classic, '85-'90 lineup

Threads like this make me think that some 13 year old just discovered this band or something

[ppbebe]

yeah like when you discovered the band. you weren't 20 ~ 30 something were you then?

It was 1988 and I was 9 years old so yeah i get what u are saying

still, anyone calling this the best gnr lineup are out of their minds.

[ppbebe]

all 13 year olds and under who just discovered this band and excited are out of their minds?

If you saw GNR in 2002 and/or 2006/7 and liked it, the chances are you'll like them more at the next show.

Gee ... what about this thread gives you that impression?

There is no excuse for not knowing the history of your favorite band

theres no excuse for most of the nonsense you babble about.   stop worrying about what other people think or how old they might be.   you were young once too.

[falungong69]

i heard about it.  didn't care.  there's lots of 'bands' i feel that way about.  sorry if you think i shouldn't be allowed to have that opinion. 

[The Glow Inc.]

still, anyone calling this the best gnr lineup are out of their minds.

What was the best gnr lineup according to you then ?

I discovered GnR back in 1996 when I was 11 but I couldn't bring myself to care about this band until 2006. There is a reason to that.
I don't think fans of ChiDem are necessarily all 13 year olds masturbating at the sound of Shackler's Revenge 

[Trist805]

I think any lineup has potential to be really good.  I'm sure Ashba will bring a lot to the band, just like Buckethead and Finck did.

[D]

Greatest GNR lineup is the one that created all the hits you listen to and hear in concert today

and this isn't an OLD vs New argument at all

When u say something is "THE BEST" facts can prove u right or wrong just like in sports.

By saying this isn't the best doesn't mean I hate it or think it sucks

but it would be like someone saying Sidney Crosby is better than Wayne Gretzky

Sure Crosby is Great but he isn't Wayne Gretzky


Same with this

U are comparing a lineup of GNR that has written 0 hits,0 shows  and most of the guys wrote nothing on the one album they did release to a lineup chalked full of all time greatest songs.

87 GNR  would be number 1
91 GNR would be number 2
2002 GNR would be number 3
2006 GNR would be number 4
today GNR would be number 5 cause they haven't done anything yet

[gnrjanus]

and that's why I think this thread is useless at the point of date.

1) we might know ashba's work.
2) we haven't heard him play yet.
3) the band hasn't toured.

so how do youknow this is the best line-up

as for me.. I would put the 02 line up with the 06 Axl.
that would've been an awsome one!

1)  well, if we have seen an artist's work, i think it's pretty fair to say we have an idea of his talents.
2)  maybe YOU haven't heard him play yet
3)  this band has toured plenty of times.  not all together 100 percent yet, but we still have more then enough to judge how awesome they are.  the teams for all-star games don't play together until the game, but i think it's pretty easy to tell they're the best of the best.

but none of that really matters.  here's how we know they're the greatest line-up... because they're the ones axl chose!  what more could you possibly need to know?  if they weren't the best band, he would have picked whoever would have made the best band.  i have a feeling if you asked anyone in the band they'd tell you the same thing... this is the best line up yet.
