Russel Nash Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 No waste in this video. Awesome sound by 4tus, he's a big part of the incredible live sound of newgnr.Includes lessons of Better, KOHD, his solos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohlovelyrita Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good find. Will share with some of my guitar friends. I wouldn't have known they changed some of KOHD. Fortus has a soothing energy yet he really erupts on-stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortus has a soothing energy yet he really erupts on-stage!The kohd thing at the beginning is simply amazing, put the song on another dimension. I recall Brian May n Roger Taylor saying that arrangement was pure magic in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him explain the variations in versions of Don'T Cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Nash Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 I posted this somewhere else last week i think... its kinda what gave me that izzy feel about himSorry man, i didn't see it.But here is the exact quote from Dr May:**Fri 09 Jun 06**G N' R HAMMERSMITH Commenting on news report 'GUNS N ROSES: ALL SLEEP IN HAMMERSMITH':No ! Get it RIGHT, whoever you are ! Axl said It's good to be back at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon" - showing that he knew his local history - the venue will always be Hammersmith Odeon to those of us who have grown up in it most of our lives - not "Labatt's Apollo, or whatever is the advertising name of the moment ... Then he said "No Sleep til Hammersmith" - a well-known quote in the business, of course - and then .... "and hopefully no sleep for the rest of the night". And my car isn't a Limo - it's a Lexus !! He's right about one thing, though ... "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was truly outstanding - there were some notes in there that made Roger and I look at each other like .... "f..... did you HEAR that ?!!" ) This song also had Axl's voice nice and high in the mix, which made it very enjoyable .... Of course Axl could just about do it without a microphone ... but - Hell - that throat is what we all went to hear ! Rock ! Bri © brianmay.com **Thu 08 Jun 06**AXL IS MAGIC See LETTERS:Yes, it was on the cards for me to play with Axl and his boys last night - but I was unable to get to their sound-check, and, without that kind of preparation, I felt that going on 'blind' might have been a risk. Now I totally don't mind taking risks, but not if it's a risk of messing up someone else's show !! The up-side was that because I was not going on, I could sit out front, and totally relax and enjoy the show, without having to think about my own stuff. (Also it did occur to me later on that probably 3 guitarists is more than enough ! ha ha! Great band, though. ) I thought Axl was stunning .... riveting .... I have seldom seen Hammersmith Odeon in such a state of electric hyper- energy. Just before the band went on, I thought I could actually see sparks in the air !! There have been very few performers in the world, ever, who could elicit that kind of response. And just hearing that voice, drinking it in, letting it drench the soul, was pure therapy - enough to keep the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end the whole night. Axl, as ever, is magic. Cheersbri By the way, That comment comes from yet another shitty review form back in 2006.Glad that May n Taylor put the record straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Richard is my favorite member of Guns N' Roses right now and my third favorite guitar player from Guns N' Roses after Bucket and Slash. I do like his style more than any of them, though. Oh Axl... All the music you could write with Richard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
