I think if you have a core two, like most bands they become the members people identify as ‘the band’. To anyone other than hardcores everyone else is largely interchangeable. Most major rock acts have had at least one lineup change over the years and the public barely blinks.
I think you can sometimes get away with losing one of the key two providing the rest of the band remains to provide stability to the lineup. It might not be the same but over time it is recoverable. See Ac/Dc although it helps if your next album with the replacement member is killer.
I’ve sometimes wondered how GNR goes over if only Slash left from the end of the UYI tour. If Axl patches things up with everyone else and the rest of the band move forward.
How does the public respond in 01 to a lineup of
Axl
New lead guitarist
Gilby/Izzy
Duff
Sorum
Dizzy

I’ve often thought the same thing. The similarity between an atom and the solar system I’ve always found interesting.

Missed this thread before you went Neemo.
Glad you enjoyed it. The south coast is nice, Cornwall, Devon and Dorest are all good to visit. Never been to Bournemouth but I loved Poole as a kid, catching fish off the harbour.
Yeah London is pretty big and pricey but I do love going.
As a general rule the further north you go in the UK the cheaper things get.
If you ever come back I’d recommend visiting the Cotswolds if you like the olde worlde stuff. It’s about 1.30 hours out of London.
I stayed in Whitechapel last year for the GNR gig. If you enjoy Bangladeshi culture it’s great, otherwise not so much

That's interesting. Do we know who it is then?
Rob Gardner?
Or it is Steven and he just can’t remember what is and isn’t him anymore.

There’s a ton of shows they could have gone for instead of Tokyo. It’s a bland souless show to me with low energy. Nightrain felt too slow on that video as well but maybe I’m just more used to the faster tempo of recent years.
That Garden video was a fucking trip. Not sure I’m keen on Axls expressive dance but it was different 
Nice to see some 93 footage, it’s kind of the forgotten part of the UYI era. Most of the noteable stuff was in 91 or 92. The 93 part of the tour barely gets mentioned but it was great for UYI deep cuts.

I wonder if SOYL makes its way on to the live set this summer?
#158 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming » 416 weeks ago
I’d love a studio take of Nightrain without the fade out like the live version. Not sure if that’s an option but it’d be great if it exists.
Always loved the NR demo so glad that’s being made available. I’ve wondered if the really early version of NR ‘Sweet Lorraine’ ever existed as a studio take. Always wondered how that sounded.
I’d be stunned if those vocals are from recently on SOYL. Gotta be 80’s vocals right?
#159 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming » 416 weeks ago
Yep same.
#160 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming » 416 weeks ago
I’ve seen similar rumours but who knows? I think it’s probably just guessing like you say but it has struck me that billboard adverts for an AFD re-release or box set seems a bit OTT. Then again they did drop a huge new teasing promo for some extra US dates so who knows.
Tbh an AFD anything at this stage doesn’t excite me too much unless it’s an original 5 show. We’ve been on an AFD heavy diet since 06 and I’m getting kinda full.
The gnr.fm thing is counting down so I guess we’ll know in about 32 hours.
I should also give a bit of kudos on the stratgey for whatever it is because it’s generating a buzz regardless. If GNR was going on a long sabatical after the summer shows you wouldn’t expect them to be firing up the promo engines.
