No need for the chick on keyboards. Dizzy should be just there. Axl sounds on fire though

Only one annoyance with that clip of WTTJ,the drums don't suit the typical GN'R sound. Even Sorum would've sounded better but none have that Adler groove.

In total agreement.

I loved GnR from '87 through to '93, was lucky enough to see the original line up at Donington and a few Use your Illusion gigs, since the mid 90's though i quickly went from love to just meh.
Loved Slash and his projects, same goes for Duff but GnR, they just became a joke to me (even though i went with my wife to see them on their last visit here)

After this Troubador gig though my love is back, i'm soooo fcukin excited, shame Adler and Izzy aint involved in some way but i can live with that.

Played Appetite non stop all weekend and it's just getting me more worked up

Still think Axl's a tit though

Can't fathom what she brings to the guns table when dizzy is there already
At the same time didn't Teddy zig zag also play keyboards along with dizzy on the illusions tour cant imagine the extra synth makes that much of a difference to the type of music GNR play... an extra guitar maybe but keyboards nah.

Does Steven Adler still have his groove though? That stroke must have affected his playing somehow.

Steven Adler never lost his groove, you either have it as a drummer or you don't.

Doesn't Dizzy play more piano type stuff and the synth stuff played by yer one?

I don't know, maybe someone with a better knowledge can give a better answer but if you watch the KOHD from the Freddie Mercury gig, you can clearly hear both a piano (Dizzy) and some keys (Teddy) so they seem to need both for those type of songs. The E Street Band have both a keyboard player and a pianist too so it's not unique.

They need another keyboard player for when dizzy is busy playing the bongos or waving a tambourine around!;)

I can see what she brings to the table...

Eye candy!

Had a watch of the Adler drum cam there, he sounds better than the drumming in the clips but I dunno - would Sorum be more capable?

Hmm...

SEPT 23 1989

the introduction of a bloody keyboard was the beginning of the end for them the last time:D

If the band sounded that tight for a surprise club show, they'll be firing on all cylinders by the time the summer tour rolls around..

Itssoeasy

That moment at about forty seconds in must have been such a sureal moment for fans when slash walked onto the troubadour stage with a GNR banner on the wall and Axl rose followed him.

Christ even thinking about it gives me chills.

So is the slash and the Myles Kennedy thing going to go under now that slash is back in his rightful place ????

Yeah I think so, granted Slashs solo work had a hand full of cool tunes but the biggest cheers of the night were always the guns songs
Same with Duffs solo gigs and Steve Adler. Not too sure about Izzy does he play any guns songs while solo ?
I'd say a lot of people over say 35 would always associate slash with gnr first and foremost
Nothing against Myles a great frontman and singer technically better than Axl but wouldn't come near the 25 - 30 year old Axl and for a lot of us watching Axl now 54 and a bit worse for wear ( a bit over weight and the raspy voice couldn't last 23 years )the moments of magic cancel out the bum notes every time.

Despite Guns being back together, Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators aren't going anywhere, they will stay together.

I'm been devils advocate here just thinking aloud don't bite my head off
I wonder would they sell as many tickets for the live shows if it was put out that they wouldn't be playing any guns songs.

At first no, but now they have such great songs of their own they could carry it off, but they wouldn't do that, seeing as Slash wrote most of them he's entitled to play them

Yes they are, bloody brilliant live as well, there's also a 3rd album on the horizon, which I assumed is being recorded while Slash has down time, and due to Slash's involvement with Guns, it maybe a delayed release, plus Myles is busy with Alter Bridge recording their 5th album, and eventual touring in support of said album..

This I think works out well for everyone, Alter Bridge can tour their album properly, without Myles having to juggle both bands.
