Why does it always seem the bands that break up, it's the lead singer vs. the rest of the band. GNR, Rage Against the Machine, Creed, and several other. The rest of the band goes on and gets a new singer and forms a new band. Velvet Revolver...GNR minus Axl...add Weiland...Audioslave...Rage minus the singer...add Cornell.

No loss there at all. I was praying for that the first time I heard that garbage.
I second that ironlung...wish nickelback would split in the near future as well...
That would be a national holiday.
I don't like em I was just using them as an example. Like Van Halen, they got rid of Roth and continued on with Hagar still using the name Van Halen. I thought it was like an unwritten rule that you couldn't use the same band name with a different singer unless they had died [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] BTW has anyone else noticed the similarities in the names Velvet Revolver and Guns N' Roses?? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Speakin of GNR...I've heard some of the new stuff that is supposed to be on "chinese democracy"..sounds just like classic GNR.
Id say they could use Van Halen because its Eddies name...
Haha good point. But I heard that Slash and Duff are pretty pissed that Axl has a whole new band and is still calling it Guns N Roses [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Exodus, Cannibal Corpse, AC/DC (they had a singer before Bon), Rainbow, Corrosion Of Conformity (Mike Dean the present bassist was the first singer, then Karl Agell, then Pepper Keenan who was and is the guitarist took over), those are some off the top of my head, so not a good argument.

In what way? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
A couple more bands...Pantera, The Misfits, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest.
Izzy Stradlin has been playin with the new GNR in alot of their live shows...Izzy and Slash my have had the best chemistry of any duo in rock history...IMO they did. BTW slash wanted to name VR "revolver"..maybe out of spite towards axl..weiland proposed "black velvet revolver" but the band mates thought it sounded too similar to STP..so they took the black off..or so the story goes...

Get off my forum.
You can get on here and start a conspiracy theory, you can make bigot-racist comments, you can even claim Norton has three guys throwing 90...But no one, and i mean no one is gonna consider Creed an actual band.
(of course i am over-exaggerating)
Anyone remember stillwater? they had that hit FEVERDOG back in 72...was on the cover of teh rollin stones?

Velvet=something soft....Revolver=gun, dangerous
Guns=something dangerous...Roses=something soft in a way

I guess so, I'd never really even thought about it. Nice catch.
As well as i like VR i don't think they'll ever live up to GNR in my mind...but GNR without Slash, Izzy, and Duff is gonna fall short as well...it didn't hurt the band to replace steven adler..but after Izzy left they began to suffer...and fell apart.
Agreed. I've heard Chinese Democracy, it's garbage. Terrible, a buddy of mine thinks it's great but to me, it's just awful.
I've liked some of it...IRS, There Comes A Time, Madagascar and Better...but I've not much liked the others...Some of the music was written before the split..I just wonder if credit will be given where it is due when the album is released...prolly not is my guess...the live versions of these songs are horrible..as well as the live versions of some of the classic gnr these guys are trying to pull off.
Yeah. There are 1 or 2 like IRS, that are tolerable, I just don't like it though.

Oh yeah. Terrible. I've heard a couple of boot shows and they're just bad. I was reading a review of a live show a few months ago from CA and the writer was just brutal. He was talking about Axl's gut and said "when Rose screams 'Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle baby. You're gonna die.' He instills about as much fear in a person as the old drunk uncle cursing at a family picnic." [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I downloaded 2 shows last weekend..and deleted them the same day..you can tell which songs were in the works before the split just by listening to them...the drop off in talent is that wide of a gap...I liked robin fink (sp)? in NIN..but I don't like him at all in GNR.
Did you hear about Axl booting the Eagles Of Death Metal off the tour after just a show or two? He started calling them The Pigeons Of Shite Metal on stage. His bassist was friends with EODM and just slammed his bass down and walked off stage. Same old Axl.
Yeah..I heard about that...as bad as I hate his personality GNR would be as incomplete without him as it is now...maybe he should just change the name of the band to "roses"...cuz without the other original members the band has had its GUNS taken away..lol
