Asia Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I do not think any of them are particularly intelligent, except perhaps Duff. Izzy I know was the only one who graduated so maybe Izzy also. You just have to look at their inane tweets. Intelligent and educated are two different things. Plus considering what sort of morons get high education these days, it just means nothing. Axl and Slash are intelligent. Same Izzy. Enough to listen to some of the interviews to know that.

Duff is smart, he worked out his capacities and used them in intellectual way. It doesn't mean his IQ is higher.And, I think it is easier to handle Adler than Axl ;-)The Band: Sorry you're not invited.I kid but this is reality.

Being a musician takes brain power, and being smart enough to display your talent & get paid for it is probably the icing on the intellectual cake.

KinseyHolley Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I know they locked the thread about Perla's ex-employee saying Izzy wouldn't do it without Steven -- and I understand why it was locked -- but this thread allows me to say: I have a hard time believing it. I know Izzy was against Steven's firing, and he felt Matt couldn't keep the original GnR feel - but he's had 30 years to watch Steven not get a hold of himself, not get his life in order, not conquer his addictions, etc. At one point someone asked him about doing something with Adler and Izzy said "Steven lives a very strange life" or something to that effect. I think Izzy of all people can look at Steven, listen to his inane rants, and know that the guy is in no shape for a tour. I find it hard to believe Izzy would stay out of it for that reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFairy81 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Personally I don't give a flying fuck about Steven. Maybe if he was less of a motor mouth looney toon, he'd have a chance with this "regrouping". Either way, I don't give a fuck if he's there or not.

sonofnazareth Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 GNR without the Popcorn/Duff rhythm section is too 'white' sounding. Steven brought a soulful almost motown like feel to the band with his playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Axl would appreciate that considering he wants to experiment with beats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riddick Bowe Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Steven should definetly be part of the reunion, and the fact that he is not talking out there can in my opinion only mean that he somehow is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans indeed!While most of your posts make me want to punch my computer monitor or throw my phone out the window (depending on which one I'm using), I have to agree with you about Matt, Steven & Gilby. I think Steven would have no problem answering the call to drum not one date but all the tour dates!, and I've said this elsewhere in another thread...additionally I've said "If Steven doesn't get to play its because of personal reasons, NOT because of his ability or disability to play". Personally I feel Matt Sorum is the safe choice and one that would be acceptable to most fans, I personally hope he'll be the one for this potential tour though it looks slim that he will. Gilby will be forever known as a Guns N' Roses Guitarist, despite anything he will ever do in his life. I seen a video of him playing lead on Sweet Child with a band and I was baffled he had even attempted that opening iconic riff, he fucked it up so bad, but on the flip side he can probably still do decent rhythm duty and I wouldn't object to him being the rhythm guy. Would I prefer the actual guys who played on Appetite? hell yeah, but the Use Your Illusions tour line up is still acceptable because they were hired when most of the band still was real GNR, not when 1 guy was GNR.

Janis Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) GNR without the Popcorn/Duff rhythm section is too 'white' sounding. Steven brought a soulful almost motown like feel to the band with his playing. This. Izzy was right. Gnr lost that great rhythm sections when Steven left. There is no point going to the trouble of Bringing them all back wfor Coachella ithout getting the feel of the music right and Steven is the only one who can do this. Steven is hugely underrated as a drummer and his role in Gnr. He's been overshadowed by personalities in the media of Axl and Slash and because he was only with them for a few years. Listen to him play the songs at the hall of fame few years ago and his playing style suits Gnr so much better.Those appetite songs would never have sounded as good without his innate sense of feel and groove. Listen to Led Zep and Fleetwood mac members without Bonham and Mick Fleetwood for example and the music doesn't swing half as much. Great musicians like Jimmy Page for example all know innately and have said that you need a great drummer for a band to be great and to click-the foundation has to be right. They should definitely work out a deal with Steven that he plays on some of the songs at the least. It could be a way of setting boundaries with him like "this your chance Steven to prove you can pull it together so we will bring you out and let you play on a few songs. So he can prove himself wto the guys with regard to not falling back to his old ways of addictions". Then if he gets through it ok at Couchella it looks like he can be trusted to tour.

Important part of the original sound or not, there is a reality that exists outside of Steven's musical ability that does influence decisions about his inclusion in projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
