Nice man.

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]^ With punctuation like that I doubt your rep will be doing anything positive for long. [/QUOTE]

*******.

[QUOTE=RockerGav]Yeah but its still nothing on most other Misfits songs.

I thought it was a great article, but there were a couple of errors (I think, I could be wrong.)

Axl demanded the rights to the name GnR on the eve of the Get in the Ring tour, threatening that he wouldn't play otherwise, and the other members reluctantly handed over, realising the amount of money that they would lose.

I believe (and I'm not as sure on this) that Guns didn't turn up to a few practices so they got their friend Slash to play guitar. Then Adler (who was in a band with Slash) joined shortly afterwards.

Either way it was a great article on one of the best bands ever IMO.[/QUOTE]

To be fair, Slash and the other guys contradict themselves in interviews when they talk about when exactly Axl demanded the rights to the GnR name. You could be right or I could be right, depends on who you ask.

guns and roses all the way

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]Very nicely done Cipher :thumb:

Some trivial info here though,

[b]The Spaghetti Incident[/b]
The album's title was an inside reference to Steven Adler's lawsuit against the band for his dismissal. In an attempt to display the cruelty of his band mates, he had described an occasion where Duff ate his leftover spaghetti without asking permission. This episode was described in Adlers legal documents as "The Spaghetti Incident".

And Izzy Stradlin was originally known as Jeffery Isabelle
Axl Rose was originally known as William Bailey
:)[/QUOTE]

Axl Rose's birth name is William Rose, his adoptive name is Willaim Bailey

oh and again for the people who have not heard the new songs yet

Also how the band really got together was Axl and izzy got duff first then Duff told axl and izzy about Steven and Slash and got them all together. Steven and slash LIED about how the band really got together on BTM, just read any old book or article about the band and you will see that it was duff who brought slash and steven into the band after he join axl and izzy.

That would explain the inaccuracy. Thanks Dave! :thumb:

Note to self: Stop watching programs like BTM.

NP, its just amazing how they try and change how the band really got together. Duff knew Slash and Steven from roadcrew and that is why he told axl and izzy about them. They all hooked up in 1985 and played their first show at the trubadour (sp?)

If you want a really great history check out this gnr time line.

The BTM had a lot of inaccuracies. Another was how slash claimed the whole horn and back up singer thing was Axls idea. The facts are it was slashs idea to bring them on tour, and there is even an interview where Slash says it was his idea. Im too lazy to find it but its true, it was slash not axl, eventho slash now bashes Axl for bringing them on tour.

I think this might have been said, but I will say it anyway

Slash- amazing. he's very quick
Appetite for Destruction- One of the best albums ever released in all of music IMO

Slash is god imo.

[QUOTE=The Essential]Slash is god imo.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't quite consider him god, but he's one of the best guitarists around

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]Aw shucks, coming from you that's an honor. Anyway, I hope you like my next FA (I want to do one on The Scorpions).[/QUOTE]

You definately should they are one of my favourite bands. Also naturaly I must say great job with the article, I love GnR and from what I've heard of the new album it probably won't suck.

What I like about Guns N Roses is that they can rock like hell and also make beautiful songs (Patience, November Rain...). This is why they kick the **** out of Ac/dc for best hard rock band.

Sweet work man! Guns N' Roses is my favorite band and I listen to them all the time. Good to see that someone gives this band the attention it deseves! I can't wait for Chinese Democracy to come out. I am still one of those who hopes/believes that the old line-up will come together one day.
The ultimate line-up would be:
Axl (vocals)
Slash (lead guitar)
Duff McKagan (bass)
Matt Sorum( drums)
Gilby Clark/Izzy Stradlin (rythm guitar)
Dizzy Reed (keyboard)

Velvet Revolver also rocks! I saw them live in Oslo, and that was somthing I'll never forget! I was standing as close as possible to the stage, and Slash was so close... They kicked @ss for sure! A lot of people dislike this band, and that's just sad. I have the Contraband cd, and there's not one song I don't like. It is 100% rock! Give them a chance, give Scott Weiland a chance.
It's a pity that Buckethead left GNR. That really screwed things up for the band. I really hope things work out well in the end for Guns N' Roses...

i just hope that Chinese Democracy comes out this year...its been a really long wait.

We're closer to getting Chinese Democracy this year then any other year before it. If we were to get Chinese Democracy at anytime, I think this would be the year. There is quite literally nothing left to hold the band back other then picking a new 3rd guitarist and finishing the mixing.

Is a 3rd guitarist that necessary? Well I just hope it comes out this year

The songs on CD were written with parts that require 3 guitarists and Axl seemingly refuses to go on without a Buckethead replacement. This has obviously put a dent in the long road to Chinese Democracy. Is it necessary to have 3 guitarists? Not really, but that's just the way things are folding out.

Axl will probably take a while to find a Buckethead replacement.

I'm listening Dark Days by Loaded right now.. it's a good song

I dunno. Axl has auditioned a lot of people and there have been a few guitarists that have made offers (Tracii Guns). Speaking of Tracii, I think it would be kind of funny should Axl bring him into Guns N' Roses. If you think about it, the Guns in Guns N' Roses will be back.

Axl Rose and Tracii Guns.. Guns N Roses. No, I don't like it. Axl Rose and Slash sounds much better.

Why is Duff sometimes called Duff "Rose" McKagan?

Heres a good tab for em.........

<a href="http://torax.outwar.com/page.php?x=146609">Tabs</a>

i dunno... im not sue how the "new" GNR will turn out.

I don't think you mentioned it buy Slash was also in a band called Slash's Blues Ball.
Although it never did release any offical CDs you should be able to get a bootleg if you look hard enough.

and slah's snakepit adn izzy stradlin made Izzy Stradlin and the Ju JU Hounds... and steven adler made a band 2 :thumb:

He should get Nuno Bettencourt.

He should give up on Guns N' Roses.
There isn't anyone of the classic line-up left and even people who have made large contributions to this album have left.
Yes he should release the album but under a different band name. It is no-where near GnR anymore.

Even if he wanted to release the album under another band name, Geffen would pretty much force him to use it. Why? The name Guns N' Roses sells albums, period. It'd be stupid (business wise) to not take advantage of that.

gn'r has been dead ever since they lost slash. imo he was more important to the band then axl rose
