batman007 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Brain wants to comebackI believe that Axl always wanted him back too, but Frank really put alot to Guns. Axl probaly got close to Frank and couldn't let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocBrown Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 This was the best GNR show I've ever been to. Slightly edging out the 2006 Hammerstein shows. So many surprises, so much fun. What a way to end the tour. Axl/Bach killed it on My Michelle. Mama Kin and Dead Flowers both sounded amazing. Axl really sang the shit out of them. It was awesome seeing Finck and Brain back. Finck looked so different from the last time he was in GNR or even NIN.Axl was in a great mood all night. The whole band was. You can tell they really love playing these small shows. Crowd was nuts for most of the night as well. Axl was loving it. Fuckin' awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl does seem to value loyalty VERY highly as well though. I personally think his default position would be that all the current touring members have their slots in the "official" line-up until such time they don't want them any more. However- IMHO- if he thinks Brain, Robin, Bucket, etc. could add something really substantial to future recordings (or to the older recordings)- I'm sure he'd have no problem at all seeing if they'd be interested in making a creative contribution. Who knows though... Just my .02 cent guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I'd love a reunion of the 2002 lineup. The current touring lineup does a good job at playing all the songs, but I have minimal interest in an album written with Bumblefoot and DJ.

Apollo Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Way to end the UCAP tour on a high note! I would never have dreamed they even had any plans for Robin and Brain being there or Dead Flowers and Mama Kin ever being played again. They definitely kept those surprises under wraps, no hints on GN'R Twitter or anything and thus you get the maximum effect. Those fans who were there must have had one HELL of an experience - lots of freak out moments for one show!Just out of curiosity, not being sarcastic, honestly wanting your true opinion.What would you prefer, if you were at this show or at any show in 2012...........the band breaks out two cover songs that the old band played 20 years ago, or would you prefer two new unreleased songs?If it was totally up to you - which two would you pick? Keeping all the other covers in the set-list (riff raff, rosie, LALD, Heaven's Door) and just picking between two new songs and the two 20-year-old covers from last night?

Or even TWAT/OMG... I think that those types of songs (YC, UTLH, Mama, etc...) do fit this atmosphere and that's why they were re-introduced. Too bad Nice Boys didn't make it in.

GNFR2003 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I don't know if anyone has seen the LA Times review of this show, but the author captures exactly what this band, their mojo, and attitude is all about:http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/03/review-guns-n-roses-house-of-blues-sunset-strip.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PopHiss+(Pop+%26+Hiss+Music+Blog)Around the third-hour mark of Guns N’ Roses' House of Blues set, which wrapped up a three-date club swing Monday, a guy and his girl understandably looked as if they needed to call it a night. They put on their leather jackets and moved toward the club's exits around 3:15 a.m. Then, from their left, a drunk guy with a wispy blond pate swooped upon them. Like a circling falcon that had just spied a wounded hare, he cornered the two back into a grotto of the club. “This is GN’R on the Sunset Strip!” the stranger slurred. “You can’t go home yet, dude!” The dude and his date stayed.For those who have been waiting decades for the iconic L.A. band to return to the scene that birthed it fully formed as lithe, riff-slinging gods, this wasn’t just a kind of hard-rock Gettysburg reenactment. It was a cri de coeur for the idea that rock music -- played on guitars, sung by dudes in ripped jeans and vests with no shirts -- has not only never died but also has kept up a kind of underground resistance movement to the crafty, sleek dominance of pop. And that Axl Rose, for all the volatility and budget-sapping concept albums and curious sartorial choices, had become the movement’s Che Guevara.To leave GN’R before the final curtain call -- even at 3:30 on a Tuesday morning -- was a kind of treason. The lifer fans at the House of Blues were having none of that.For those who’ve caught a recent arena date at the Forum or one of the other club shows, this most recent GN'R appearance is but further encouragement for the devoted. Acolytes of late-era GN’R lineup changes will be pleased to know that cameos from former drum ace Bryan Mantia and guitarist Robin Finck suggest that all’s well in those camps (fans expecting a certain top-hatted axman to return to the fold should, at this point, find a new improbable fantasy to pursue). Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach went toe to toe with Axl wailing on “My Michelle.” They covered Aerosmith’s “Mama Kin” and the Stones’ “Dead Flowers,” both early-'90s covers for the group. We heard Lana Del Rey was in the audience.The band’s taken a lot of undeserved guff for being, to the purists, not really “Guns N’ Roses” but “Axl and a Bunch of Dudes.” But this lineup is probably the most well-honed mercenary army in modern rock: the guitar troika of Richard Fortus, DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal tossed licks on “Appetite for Destruction”-era tracks such as “It’s So Easy” and “Mr. Brownstone” that hit like live grenades. For the cool kids, the Replacements’ Tommy Stinson held down a savage low end.And the band’s perennial X factor, the wayward native son of Lafayette, Ind., looked as healthy and serpentine as ever. His falsetto might have lost a half step in the intervening decades. But for someone in the early '90s placing bets on Axl’s status in 2012, Rose’s hip-swinging lechery at the House of Blues would have more than covered the spread on that wager.The existential question of any Guns N’ Roses set -- what does Axl do when he disappears into his side-stage curtained chamber? -- might never be solved. Some think it’s for a hit of oxygen, some suspect it’s just for costume changes, some have more radical and spurious ideas. About every three songs or so, he'd slip away for the duration of a long guitar solo.But while Axl had a literal Rock and Roll Fortress of Solitude onstage, so too did his fans at the House of Blues. GN’R back on the Strip was, for three hours and change, a place where survivors could cordon off the outside world and breathe the pure, invigorating air of the music they know. Not just the songs themselves, but the idea that men with guitars can still command crowds through force of will and implied sexual prowess. Guns N Roses is making what’s perhaps the last stand of an entire value system in music, and that resonates in its fans’ marrow.There has always been a sadness to Guns N' Roses -- and not in the spectacle of a 50-year-old man wearing a snakeskin-patterned fedora onstage. When Axl sat alone at a piano before the forlorn “Patience” (and we defy any of you children running around South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, this week to write a better ballad), he showed the side of his personality that fights his war out of love. The man has seen and done things in Los Angeles to make Pharaohs blush, and yet there he was, past closing time, playing a lonely melody on a barroom instrument.Yeah, the whole set was indulgent and exhausting and completely out of step with irreversible tides in pop music and its demographics. “Chinese Democracy” probably didn’t need to come out. But GN’R on the Strip in 2012? Dear reader, it was worth staying to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
