Gackt Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Orianthi's 15 minutes of fame have long expired, so it makes sense to join a big-name band to get back in the spotlight. Hopefully she's prepared to get shit on by fans who still can't handle Slash being gone.I don't know what she's totally capable of as a guitarist, but from what I've heard in tracks like According to You's solo, she's likely a big step down from BBF's talent.

magisme Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Great musician and all but if it is true then I'm doneIs there any reason why you would think it is true? I have yet to see one myself.Well, the topic hasn't been closed down yet (unlike the new album in 2015 thread).I can't speak to why that may be as I do not control open or closed topics. A thread being open does not mean a topic is true or false IMO.And honestly personally I would keep this open for the LOL'sI don't know either way but it definitely misleading to lock a topic for being a rumor but keeping another open for being a rumor.Exactly.Much love, mods, but can you please make a statement about this?

I bet she'll get more stick from Bumble dorks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Doubt there's many Slash fans who'd care anymore ever since Ashba joined. I bet she'll get more stick from Bumble dorksAt a show I went to in '12, there were several hecklers by me yelling about Slash, Izzy and "vintage Guns" to Ashba, Fortus and Bumble. Fortus didn't acknowledge it, but Bumble and Ashba were pissed enough to get into a yelling match with the hecklers during a song and eventually summoned security to kick a bunch of people out. Needless to say, they never came back to that side of the stage again that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terzyo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Orianthi is a good pop rock guitarrist, not hard rock, i prefer Ashba and Fortus. I think GNR needs only two guitars, not three, and i like DJ and Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I want you to picture this Ashba, Frank Ferrer, Chris Pitman lineup with a chick in tow. Hell, at that point, just sack Tommy and hire Beta on bass full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblerose Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Love how people think your sexist for not wanting her in the band. The fact is she doesn't have the skill to replicate bucket and bumbles parts. Seen her live three or 4 times and it seemed she had no stage presence and sound had no punch. worst than ashba? No. fact is it's a rumour , no confirmation from bumble that he's even left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 There is so much wrong with this band I'm not sure Orianthi's weaknesses would make a blind bit of difference to be honest. Hell I'd fire them all in the morning. Axl included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotsfired cro Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ax can bring in any guitar player he wants, make him wear a mask, lipstick, pizza hut plte on he head and have them play all 10 at once and h stll on't be able to replace Slash.Gunners wer Slash/Duff/Matt or Steve and Axl - not just Axl.no matter what he does he will never be able to reproduc that sond. period! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkuk04 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You'll get Chinese leftovers this year or next, which I'm looking forward to. But I'm not sure what happens after that. I'd love Axl and Slash to end this pointless feud but I don't think either ego would allow it. Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think the point of having three guitars is to drown out mistakes made between the threeIf it was just Ashba/Fortus, there'll be a lot of cringe-worthy moments during shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 MSL says "guess she signed".One person thinks "she" is Orianthi.Snowballs from there to the "rumour" being featured in international blogs, to the point that Orianthi cracks a joke about it after undoubtedly being hassled non-stop with "IS IT TO BE TRUE???!!!!JEJEJEJE"Amazing how ideas spread so fast, regardless of veracity.

Chris 55 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 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?He's from a gangster movie from the early 1930's.

tentonneskeleton Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Seriously though, "most dangerous band in the world" my ass. Once upon a time, GNR was a force to be reckoned with. Nowadays they're no danger to anyone or anything. They've basically gone soft. That isn't a good excuse to feel like a girl wouldn't be a good fit in the band. Maybe they can do better than Orianthi, but they could also do a hell of a lot worse - but that has nothing to do with gender in the slightest.

They've basically amounted to OH NOES A GIRL IN THE BAND!!!11111111!!!!! I'M DONE IF TEH EBIL GIRL PLAYS FOR GNR!!111111 There have been a few people who have actually been discussing her guitar playing and whether or not it is to their liking, but there have been far more people going ballistic because she happens to have a healthy pair of X chromosomes.
