Welcome to the forum!
I remember you had the paradise city tracker way back when i was collecting gnr dvd's.
Nice to see you here!

I'm not familiar with Fortus' songwriting so can't talk about that but i like him because at every show i've been he was the surprise/highlight. I didn't expect that to be the case before the shows because we had a lot of guitarists over the years with very different personalities/looks/styles. But when i was in front of the stage the guy that drew my attention was Fortus.

I like his guitar playing, his laid-back style, his guitar 'punching' and his overall attitude.
I think he's the guitarist that resembles the most the classic gnr look/vibe. Just simple rock n' roll, no gimmicks and tricks (not trying to insult the other guitarists in the band, i still like'em ).
He plays his parts/solos well, he doesn't fuck'em up.
He has been a constant, reliable guitarist for the past 15 years. The only one if i'm not mistaking. For a band that has been renowned for it's revolving door of guitar players he's been there all the time. I respect that.
He gives interviews and tells us what he knows at the time. If plans change it doesn't mean he was wrong when he shared the info. He isn't the guy that makes final decisions in the band. We all know that. Doesn't make him a douche because he shared what he knew.

So, let me see, a rock n' roll, capable, reliable guitar player that is a constant member in a band known as a revolving door of musicians, that gives interviews in which he shares the info that's available to him. Yeah, i wonder what people like about him, too.

This is bullshit.
'I'm black! Nominate me because of my skin color!'
Black people talk so much about getting over racism yet they use every occasion to bring it up into discussion and throw it into people's faces.
Do a better job and maybe you'll get nominated. Not because of your skin color but based on the quality of your actual work.

Can't wait to see what Chris Rock has to say about it in his opening monologue

Didn't mean to, sorry
AFD happened without him, and most of UIY was written before he came on.
Writing partner to... CD? Because we haven't heard much from them since UYI.

So why is he on the same level as Duff, i don't know.
People at least have heard of Duff. Dizzy, i'm not so sure.
