Guns N'Roses Back!!
Nov 17^th, 2009 at 7:49pm

It begins, the World Tour--Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan in December, Canada in January and February, South America in March and April!!! We're going to Montreal for the January 27th show. The word is that the new album should be out by the end of '09. To those who've not seen 'em this century, CHECK 'EM OUT!! The two times I've seen the band were amongst the two best shows I've EVER seen!

Axl fuhevah!!

BAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! We'll see about that. Chinese democracy was better than I expected though, Probably the best album of the year. It was a bit too sleek for my tastes though. And it wasn't worth the hype, the wait, or Axl's investement.

Oh Dear God. I'll admit to being a huge GNR fan back in the day. But I won tix from a local radio station about 2 years ago to catch the latest incarnation of the so called band. They were simply awful. They came on very,very late. Axl's voice was completey shot. The band played horrible,the audience hated them. We left after 3 songs. That was at an arena. I did see them 6 monthes earlier at a theatre and they were actually pretty decent. But again aftere a lenghty wait. Axl Diva still has gotten over himself and the band behind is pretty bad at this point.

I don't know what you mean by that Dude, but Axl rose is the only original member, & yet he calls the group Guns & Roses, that's like Ringo going out on tour & calling the band The Beatles.

2002 and 2006 were awesome!! those weak jokes remind me of the late-night comedians laughing about the Stones wrinkles for the seventeenth time....

Notes from today's arena dress rehearsals in LA:

Richard Fortus is playing through a 1973 Jose Marshall along with a Friedman "Marsha" amp and some modified Randall modules, all driven by a Randall RT-2 power amp. His pedals are incorporated with all of the above (pictured) and are racked and switched through a custom system built by Dave Friedman of Rack Systems Ltd. Fortus has 2 Randall isolation cabinets with Celestion Golds and Celestion G12H loudspeakers. He's playing a Chet Atkins Gretsch guitar, a Gibson ES-335 and a bunch of Fender Telecasters and Gibson Les Pauls.
DJ is also using a "Marsha," as well as a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier tube amp. The Mesa Boogie plugs into a 4x12 with Golds and the Marsha is using V30's. DJ has a ton of different Les Paul's he's playing with.
Ron is sticking with his Engl heads played through Marshall 4x12s. He's using Vigier guitars. He has a double-neck Vigier with a fretless.
... And, just in case you were wondering, the lineup is still: Axl, Dizzy, Tommy, Chris, Richard, Ron, DJ and Frank.

The real disinformation is the thought that Chinese Democracy is a good album. Axl may own the rights to the name Guns N Roses, but Chinese Democracy is in no way representative of the band he was in with Slash and Izzy and Duff and Steven, and this new ChineseD is one of the worst albums I've ever heard. It is overly angry, loud, obnoxious, and self-important. Where's the rock and roll riffs and hot licks that identified G n R tracks in years past? Ford those of you that don't know, this line up of the band only has one member from the original lineup-Axl. Slash, his long-time songwriting partner has been out of the picture for years.

Reply #19 - Nov 18^th, 2009 at 8:29pm I actually quite liked (and like) Chinese Democracy, very good songs, great variety, but the production is a bit "over the top"...am I reading this first message right in that a new album is expected this year ?! As for the tour itinerary, it reminds me a bit of the Jagger "tour" of 1988, playing it safe...

Didn't work out so well either when Scott fell back off the wagon,then went back to STP. I like Slash as well. Heard a little of the show he did with Ronnie. Sounded good. I'd like to see him get back to work.

I remember reading an interview with Axl after Chinese Democracy got released that it was intended to be the first of 3 scheduled between now and 2012, so by that logic something could come along next year. That is of course to assume that Axl can successfully operate on a schedule, which he's done a pretty good job demonstrating that he can't. But the impossible has already happened once, so who's to say that Axl didn't write & record more than the 14 songs on Chi Dem between 1996 and 2008?

And I think Chinese Democracy is excellent. It's not 5 guys playing in a room together - its the opposite, and very thoroughly executed at that. I can understand not being moved by the album's production, but not to appreciate the composition that went into it, you have to be in denial.

As far as Slash goes, he was great when he came out, but his style hasn't developed at all over time, and his playing doesn't have the same fire it used to either. As far as I'm concerned the guy is just wasted talent at this point.

All over the place last time I heard. "Better" alone is full of them.

You don't think they were overly angry, loud & self important before? Have you ever listened to a Guns N Roses album?

I respect your opinion if you don't like the album or the new band, I recognize that there's plenty there not to like. The album is too slick for its own good, but on the other hand some Stones albums are probably grittier than they need to be - but that doesn't mean I can't just roll with it
