Well umm congratulations then

Heh, don't patronize me. Anyway, I'm glad Appetite is doing good in the polls. I was pretty surprised they got so many votes the first time round, hopefully the album makes it farther then 2nd round.

Appetite is only in 5th place right now.. How many bands go to the next round?

[QUOTE=blue3]Appetite is only in 5th place right now.. How many bands go to the next round?[/QUOTE]

5 I believe. Hopefully it can hold onto that spot.

3 go to the next round

wow man like wow that is one hell of a good tthread i think even if you dont like guns 'n' roses/axl rose you should read this thread that signifies how they started off just like any other band in it for the fun of playing music and then the ego's and the drugs started tto take over and i think that this is a lesson to be learned by any band and once more great thread man.

[QUOTE=floyd.the.barber]3 go to the next round[/QUOTE]

Well then, looks like Appetite is done for...oh well, had a good run.

very informative, great read :thumb:

slash
 

man i hate the new gun's n roses. what about slash, he is a realy underatted guitar player, just listen to the november rain or sweet child o min solo's. Appetite for Destruction was one of the best cd's ever put out. Thats before axl rose was a jerk and they didnt have bucket head. **** you bucket head!

edit buttons suck
 

Sorry to sound like such a jerk in the first one thread.
I cant believe the original band had to break up. they were so ****in awesome they are one of my favorites. The new band is just uncomparrable.
**** YOU MUNKY MAGIK!
(even though they have the same name as the old band, without slash it just aint the same, buckethead is crap comparred to slash)

Ok. First off, try the Edit button sometime. Actually, scrap that. Try it now.
Secondly, Slash is not under rated, and he has much better solos than the ones you mentioned.
Thirdly, Buckethead is superior to Slash in just about everyway.
Fourthly, they are still GNR.

Well said. If you really want to be praising someone in Guns N' Roses for their overlooked talents, it'd be Izzy Stradlin.

I'd also like to give credit to an underrated player in the new Guns N' Roses, Richard Fortus. I used to doubt the guy, but he's proved himself a very worthy guitarist.

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]Well then, looks like Appetite is done for...oh well, had a good run.[/QUOTE]

It's 4th place right now.. I hope they make it the next round but yeah it was a good run

Buckethead superior to Slash? meh.... im listening to coma.. i love the guitar playing in it ;)

Slash shows more emotion than Buckethead.. probably cause there's a bucket on his head but yeah, I like Slash more.

LoL bucket on his head. Yea I like slash alot more. The hair! lol man its HUGE

His hair's cool

Slash>buckethead IMO

buckethead, I do not argue, is good, but just doesn't seem to have the passion or the feeling as much as Slash

He is not under-rated, and don't blame buckethead for their breakup, its not his fault


my guess is you've just found gnr and are in "awe" of slash but had never heard of him before/ never hear of him on the tv blah blah so that means he's under-rated....riiiight

rocket queen
 

rocket queen live is unbelievable

Very true, nice first post.

[QUOTE=AndyJ3504]rocket queen live is unbelievable[/QUOTE]
Hell yes, I wish I could see it live though :(

and yeah, nice first post :thumb:

^ me 2

Well done! Now I wanna go back and read about the first 7 Featured Artists.

Agreed. I've gotten notice from different sources that Merck (head of Sanctuary) says that despite the lawsuit, things are going as scheduled. I'm pretty positive now that they'll keep their word about 2005 now. It's all very exciting.

I also notice a lot of rumors about Axl performing with Paul McCartney at the half time show of the super bowl. Just because Paul is playing Live And Let Die. We'll have to see, but parties in both camps have denied the duet.

omg thatd be sweet as hell.. aint the super bowl comming up?

Nice FA, Rep +

Thanks. I'll try to keep this bumped so long as you guys wanna continue discussing the future or past of GnR.

There are rumors flying around now that John 5 could possibly be the new guitarist in GnR to fill Buckethead's place (John 5 mentioned he was interested in an interview). Also, Tommy briefly alluded to a European/Asia GnR summer tour this year. Things are looking good. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]John 5 isn't touring his own album, so it's a possibility. At the same time, there's been no development on this rumour in months, so it seems like a dead end.[/QUOTE]

Meh, with Axl you never really know for sure. I wouldn't mind John 5 as the new guitarist (or Tracii Guns who made Axl an offer a while ago).

Yeah, John 5 is a really good guitarist. I wouldn't necessarily rate him higher then Buckethead, but I wouldn't rate him lower either. Hopefully we'll get an update from Axl once Tommy and Dizzy come back to the GnR camp after they are done with their solo project's tours in mid February.

[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]An update from Axl? What does that mean?[/QUOTE]

An announcement, or an official statement on ANYTHING.

i was did some looking around and here i what i found out. axl signed adeal sancuarty for protection of new and old material. Axl and Izzy did a press confernce regarding Chinese Democracy. rumors are flying around Izzy is re-joining guns n roses. that was rumor about izzy joing back. also as of recent Geffen Records stated "November 29, 2005 release date for the long-awaited Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy",

wow, cool. i dunno about you guys, but i have a feeling they really will release it this time.

finally, a spot on this forum where i can say something about guns and not get attacked about it. now only if i had something to say at this point lol

Great post there, champ.

[QUOTE]There's been no rumours about Izzy rejoining Gn'R. As it is, the band have no recognised lead player, adding a third rhythm-oriented player wouldn't make sense. Izzy has been touring with Steven Adler's band as of late and been recording new solo material.[/QUOTE] this should clear some of this up.[url]http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/guns_n_roses_speculation.html[/url]. anyways john5 is in rob zombie and is playing shows with him.

3 CDs worth of songs.. I hope I get to hear that sometime. Thanks for posting that I guess.

What other bands has John 5 played in? Never heard of him before =/
Ah scrap that - google is my best friend.

DVG.

I really enjoyed reading that, it was intelligently structured! Why the hell won't they just release Chinese Democracy?
