MrSoftie Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Didn't Orianthi make light of this whole rumour a few days ago? It's completely untrue as far as I know.To be fair she's not going to be like "Yeah guys, you got me, I'm joining GNR" even if she was.I'd take her, she's not my first choice but she seems cool and would generate some buzz.

Nick85 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Have no idea if there's any credence to this rumor, but I will say this: All of you saying "No. Just No!" simply because she is a woman and for no other reason, get a fucking grip. Buncha woman-hating virgins screaming at their computer screens. I am literally embarrassed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buncha woman-hating virgins screaming at their computer screens. I am literally embarrassed for you. And those claiming she's the greatest guitar player ever or something similar just because she's a woman are equally pathetic. Not saying you do it, but no need to protect and overrate her just because she's a female.Seems like she relies on effects a lot, she's much worse than BH and BBF from what I've seen/heard. If Axl does hire a female guitarist, I think he'll do it for the 'gimmick' aspect of it rather than technique/skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's better, and more creative, than Ashba. Not saying that means she deserves the gig, but if we're going on the merits of talent, she's worthy of it IMO.

Let's not set the bar so low just because Ashba happens to be in the band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've seen her play with Alice Cooper. She is awesome. She even came out during the Motley Crue set and sang with Vince.It would be interesting to see a woman in GNR.Actually, Ori had already left Alice's band before the Motley tour started. The female guitarist now is Nita Strauss. I call bullshit on this one.Val has been known to stretch the truth a bit in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not set the bar so low just because Ashba happens to be in the band Haha, you're not wrong. Honestly, a broom with a Top Hat would impress me more, and have more of a genuine "cool" vibe than Ashba. My obvious wish for a Bumble replacement would be Buckethead, especially if CD2 materializes with his playing. But at this point, I feel like a Slash return is more likely than Buckethead...

Facekicker Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Any man that thinks a woman shouldn't be in GN'R probably won't be seeing a naked woman in person anytime soon. As long as that person can play and write good tunes who cares if they are a girl or a tranny?Agree. I mean we already have a tranny in the band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This sounds like a classic case of a joke on Twitter being turned into news, on a very slow news day. Any man that thinks a woman shouldn't be in GN'R probably won't be seeing a naked woman in person anytime soon. As long as that person can play and write good tunes who cares if they are a girl or a tranny?Agree. I mean we already have a tranny in the band. True but that woman should be able to pull of the material that the departing male guitar player used to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 A broad in Guns N RosesJust kill this fucking band alreadyWell, another RoseKill this band because a girl joined them? there is plenty of reasons why Axl's band is a joke right now, but this is not one of themare you from the 19th century or what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jekylhyde Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 That would probably make singing the line "turn around bitch, I got a use for you" a bit awkward...Doubt this is true, but it would be cool. She is a good guitarist.Why would it be awkward, the song was not written about herI was trying to be funny, but failed apparently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I'd be kinda bummed if this is true. Not that I particularly dislike her (seen her with Alice Cooper twice), just don't think she'd be the best choice. I'm hoping Bumble's still in (or, 'back in', or whatever) especially if she's the alternative. Edited January 8, 2015 by Gordon Comstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Judging from what the Origami has said herself this doesnt appear to have legs, but if it were to be the true I think she would be a good choice.There havent been any genuine, street, leather clad rock and roll motherfuckers (besides Axl) in this band since Duff packed it in to be honest.Let's have a look:Paul Huge Tobias: looked like a computer programmerPitman: sure he wears leather, but more in a Village People kind of way. Tambourine and sub bass? Nuff said.Freese/Brain: nopeStuson: about as close as it gets, he was in a punk band and he's a boozehoundFortus: yeah almostRobin: nope, but at least had his own "character" Bucket: fuck no, but fit the unique character bill at leastRon: nopeFrank: no wayDJ: exactly the kind of guy that GNR would have been taking the piss out of in interviews back in the dayI think another guitarist from a "rival" 80's band, like Richie Sambora or CC Deville would be sad and a Nick Sterling or something would be worse.A female would actually be a smart choice there, I think Orianthi has more " pedigree" than a lot of other hypothetical contenders and she certainly has the chops.The fact she is a woman would also enable her to (sort of) avoid direct comparisons with her predecessor, in a way- she wouldnt be Slash III or whatever.One thing's for sure, she has more rock and roll in her little finger than Ashba does in his whole body. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno P. Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 She's much better than Ashba, that's for sure. Keep Orianthi and Richard, mute Ashba's guitar on stage (he will not notice, we all know that) and we're good.Oh, who am I kidding... at this point I'd like to see those who actually carried this band play together as an act of respect to each other. A few years ago I'd be interested to hear what Bucket, Robin, Axl (or even Ron, had he created something with Axl), created with Axl. But now I believe that even most of his loyal fans simply do not care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
