Instrumentals during breaks

[Jbat81]

They play Wish You Were Here while they're setting up the piano etc... How bout they so Jizz Da Pit from Snakepit instead??? I mean, Ron got to do one of his songs. I def would rather hear that then this... BTW- It's just a tought. Im very content with the tour. Was in Vegas for bkth shows. Going to both at Foxboro Nd if I can get a babysiiter( I have custody of my two boys) Ill def go to NY/NJ...

[Spirit]

I like their Wish You Were Here instrumental

[Jbat81]

I guess some don't mind. Im not a PF fan so maybe that's why I would prefer a diff instrumental. I just dont get all the extra covers besides what's already on record...

I don't think Axl has ever in the history of the band put any limitations or expectations on what the other band members do as their solos or jams. 

I'm pretty sure Buckethead, Robin, Tommy, Bumblefoot and Ashba had all picked their own.

I remember reading about a supposed Axl comment on Robin n' Richard's jam of Christina Aguilera's Beautiful that it wasn't particularly one of Axl's favorites.  Robin n' Richard continued to perform it even after Axl's comment.

And Bumblefoot not only performed his own material as his solo but also included Don't Cry at a time when I doubt any one of us would have thought that Axl would not only approve of it but eventually join in and it becoming a staple once again in the setlist.

Even though I'm guessing Slither hand written on that setlist pic of Richard was probably photoshopped in, I can also see a situation of Duff and Slash including that song as part of their jam.

Ron's was in lieu of his solo, Slash is doing The Godfather. Plus Ron sang his songs, Slash doesn't (though I'm not familiar with the one you mentioned, I'll be honest. I bought the second Slash's Snakepit album and only really enjoyed Back To The Moment and Mean Bone which I would love to hear Axl sing, maybe next tour!).

True. Ron told me here in Brazil in 2010 that he had picked the Pink Panther theme.

Don't think so, the picture was posted on that guitar gear company's page. I see no reason on why would it be photoshopped by them.

Its an instrumental from the first Snakepit. Fast paced...

Ron told me as well about a week before the Vegas shows rhis year. Here in Providence with the Metal Allegiance band... That it was him coming up w Estranged, Don't Cry and whatever else he wanted to play. I actually thnk him for it. So O don't think Axl would care what Slash play while they're on a break or setting the piano. Unless the rumors about Axl saying The Sankepit's songs are true... Lol. Either way, these are minor things. I was just curious as to why a(nother) cover when there's so many originals...

[Sosso]

Melissa should get her own instrumental.
I also miss Ziggy Stardust played by Dizzy at the current tour.

It wouldn't be the first time a legit company's website was duped by a photoshopped pic.


That being said, I believe Axl gives the other members of the band the respect to play whatever they so desire as their jams and solos without wanting or expecting his consultation.

[LIGuns]

I think they should play Purple Rain while setting up the piano..

Fall to Pieces Instrumental with Slash, Richard, Dizzy, Melissa trading verses doing the Melody.

Funny you'd mention Jizz Da Pit. Slash wrote that riff in GNR but Axl hated it. He called it "redneck".

Hmm... Slash half black... Axl from Indiana... Interesting choice of words from Axl lol

I'm really going out on a limb here, but I think it would be pretty cool to hear Slash and Fortus do an instrumental of "Beautiful" and "Endless Rain," the way Robin Finck used to play.  It was kind of cool hearing an electric guitar play those tunes - made it a lot cooler than the originals.
