Slash on Atlas Shrugged

[D-GenerationX]

I would like to hear this if it is ever made available...

Really?  You are talking like, 3 line-ups ago now.

[Virolec]

If it ever becomes available I'd probably give it a spin out of curiosity, but unless it's totes amazeballs I would probably leave it at that.

Also, if we're bringing politics into it, I refuse to listen to it unless there is socialist cowbell and nationalist basslines. 

[D-GenerationX]

Yeah, I'd give it a listen for the curiosity factor.

Much like my 'The Roots Of Guns N' Roses' CD.  Which got played on my way home from the store that day, and then never again.

Yep...

I mean like I've said before. Nu Gn'R is cool, but when you have Slash/Izzy as guitarists...

and then you replaced it like this....

Izzy>Gilby>Paul (average) Huge>Richard
Slash>Finck>Ashba

Then on the side you need

Bucket>Thal

Just to keep it going... give me a break man.

When you replace the replacement of the replacement... things get stupid.

Time to move on Nu GnR fans. It's over.

[jarmo]

Time to move on Nu GnR fans. It's over.

Why do I need to move on?

I've followed GN'R since the day I discovered how amazing they were almost 30 years ago by now.
By your definition, I'm also a fan of "Nu GN'R".

So why do I need to move on? Move on to what?
It's all GN'R to me. You're the one with a limited point of view.

Maybe it's time you move on? We get it. You like to whine like there's no tomorrow. But it's fucking boring... Time to move on?

I agree.  But constantly rubbing their nose in it only going to get you pushback and fights.

Take your solace in the fact that the majority of the known universe agrees with you.  The people that want the replacement line-ups and their material to get their just due, they are never going to waver on that.  No more than you would ever waver on the notion they have a point. 

I rolled with it all, and got a few songs I really like.  But, I do feel we've entered a new era where we can stop playing pretend about it.

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah I know. I agree. Sorry boys.

Just so much dark years and so much drama for what ? 1 album? It's a fucking joke.

Then you've got these Nu Gn'R fans on here bitching about "CD II" who gives a fuck? Seriously? Right now I don't care about the unreleased CD II album.

I care about Slash and Duff with Axl/Rich and Frank. That sounds good to me. There's NU Gn'R fans hanging onto it all too. it's a 2 way street.

Move on to those that are stuck in the Nu Gn'R era, and actually forgot what a "great rock band" was.

This very thread is about Slash playing on a track that could very well be off that unreleased CD II you speak so lowly of. You don't care about that? Seems a bit odd.

No, I'm cool with them playing and "re-recording" the CD II stuff in their own way. I just don't really care about CD II coming out in it's current and apparently finished state while all this news is going on.

***HOT TAKE ALERT***

I'm not even sure its so much about the band itself, the NuGNR line-ups.

I think the years of squabbling on the internet amongst ourselves, its now become a war with other fans and posters.  It's all about saving face and never giving an inch.

You can predict who fights with who around here, no different than predicting the sunrise in the morning.  But its not just related to the band itself.  Its gotten to the point where people dug in.  They may have initially dug in about a legit topic, but its morphed into just strict opposition to anything that person says.

I know when I am scrolling through a thread, and I see a certain guy or gal has quoted my post, before I even read it, what will follow is fierce opposition to whatever I have said.  And not just me.  There are other feuds between posters where you can see the same thing play out, time and again.

You say up, they say down.  You say black, they say white.

I agree, I'm with you.

I'm just too passionate to not take a stance. I mean Old Guns N' Roses In my ever so humble and respectful opinion are just better than the duct taped feel of Nu Gn'R

I still have CD on Vinyl and cd. I still listen to it every now and again. For some odd reason I find myself burning the hell out of the UYI albums though.

I haven't really noticed those arguments taking place. I think the vast majority of us are looking forward to what the future holds and are excited by the prospects. Not sure what good it does condemning the last 15 years of the band and those who supported it.

[Thorned Rose]

not condemning it. I just don't want to see posts about Nu Gn'R stuff and CD II

Those posts have filtered out now, but it was pretty fucking annoying. Glad they've stopped for now.

I'm glad of what Gn'R did, the tours were great. Just wished they did more original music. We got 15 songs in 15+ years. Sucks.

You don't wanna see posts about certain things, but you keep repeating the same things over and over again.

Thanks for the laughs!

I'd still want to hear the CD II stuff.  It's not dependent on Slash and Duff touching it up.

I guess where I might get off the bus with some of you is this.  If CD II was dropped, as is, with no Slash and Duff...and they never acknowledged it, or even played one song off it live, ever...I would have no problem with that.

It's sort of the same thing I say about CD tunes in the setlists of the upcoming tour.  If they never played one of those songs again, I would shrug.  I know that puts me at odds with some folks, and that will be a bridge that is never crossed.

On balance, I think both side of this debate could do with some toning down.  People like me, Thorned Rose, or whoever that lean that way...we probably don't need to be so over the top about how its over, we're glad its over, and let's forget about it.

But...flipside...the people on the other side of this divide don't have to put up the fucking bat signal and climb up on the soapbox with the lecture to anyone that sees things that way.  But again, only if that opinion is expressed respectfully.

Is that fair to say?

What's pretty fucking annoying is your constant shitting on the guys who kept this fucking band alive while your hero wanted nothing to do with it.

Well I had to deal with as many other did with this fucking biased Nu Gn'R up my ass, and no talk of Slash/Duff or Izzy was really allowed in the big boy board.

Now that the clowns in costumes are gone... I don't want to hear anything about Bucket/DJ/Robin/ (must I name them all lmao)

It's a 2 way street here right? Lets be fair and objective.

Thanks for the attempts. (at busting my balls, but you've missed widely)

[jarmo]

Ok, that's it.

I gave you a chance.

You're obviously only here to stir shit up.

Posting privileges removed.

Just saying what no one else wants to say.

No one wants to hear about old Gn'R members since Slash/Duff etc weren't allowed at the dinner room table with daddy.

Your anti-hero wasn't wanting to record a fucking NIN record. Sorry.

He wanted an actual rock record. Since he was cry-childed into signing over the rights. he was fucked and left.

SO stop that line of vision.
