I gotta confess to knowing didely squat about this dude and Spacehogs (or whatever they are).
So I've got a totally open mind (well not entirely open because deep down I am realistically waiting to be let down again).

It's Robin Fink were talking about here. That's all he does is play stuff he had no hand in writing. Whether it with GNR, NIN, or his little Led Zepplin deal. The guy got the gig of a lifetime cause Axl had a mancrush on anything NIN, not because of anything he had written.
Yeah very true - lol, he should be used to it by now.
I agree with what you said too MonkeyChow. I don't like hearing the AFD stuff changed massively. When rocking out to a song and you hear a solo or something - you wanna hear it exactly how you know it from the original.
If I'm playing air guitar and making noises to sound out the solo to it and rockin out, I don't want the guy that's plugged into the amp playing something different to what I am in my head.
I know there is a school of thought on doing your own interpretation and putting your own print on the song, but you can't do that with songs that are as well known and were as big a hit as most of the GN'R songs. I think you can put your own style onto the intro (e.g. like Slash would play the Godfather theme or something) before the song or your guitar solo spots.

I think if he does it intentionally and it's a dig at anything, it's because he has to play those damn songs.
When the majority of what you are serving up is AFD rehash stuff that you had no hand in writing, I would be pretty blase about the songs too.
It would be hard to get fired up night after night, week after week, month after month, year after year playing AFD stuff and not your own material. It's probably not intentional on his part but if it's how he feels deep down whether he wants it to or not it will eventually reflect in his playing. If you are really a passionate muisician with any ability and your playing is a way of connecting and communicating with your audience then your personality, feelings and emotions are eventually going to show thru in your playing. I think it's a subconscious thing that is eventually unavoidable.

If that's true, it sounds like the lamest thing I could think of for him to do. In fact if I was trying to think of lame things for him to do, I don't think I could have even come up with that idea.
Mind you with the spelling and factual errors in that short article it doesn't really help its credability.

That's obviously a fake. The real image would be a lot more like this:
lol - very good I like that.
#2539 Re: Guns N' Roses » *Rumor* Frank Ferrer posts album art on Myspace? *Rumor* » 886 weeks ago
I agree, I'm tired of all this shit like stolen motorcycles and this sort of thing. Please stop disrespecting the fans and the GN'R name any further, it really got way byond a joke many years ago.
Surely someone somewhere (Azoff?) can stand up and get this rabble together and start moving forward in the right direction - or any direction for that matter.
#2540 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » *GNRevolution Exclusive* A Candidate for the Open Slot for VR Vocalist » 886 weeks ago
Thanks for posting Neemo that's very interesting.
I quite like that second vid you posted, the guy sounds like he has a good set of pipes. I also think that going with a relatively unknown singer is probably the right move for VR. You are never going get past the GN'R talk and comparisons but if you can stop any other stuff by having a lesser known frontman then I think it's a good idea.
It helps get rid of the "supergroup" tag a bit as well. Personally I think Weiland always had issues that Slash was the biggest star in that band.
