I'm guessing there were no photo shoots because the lineup was constantly changing to the point where one was never quite certain who was in and who was out of the band. If they dared do a photo shoot, they ran the risk that it would be outdated by the time the photographer came back with "proofs" to be used for the next tour. Just a guess.

dalsh327 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 We'll see what happens when the tour book is on sale or if they revamp the tour promo to include Vegas, Coachella, Mexico City and the Troubadour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did forget that one which is awesome but it is low quality. The paradise city one doesn't have axl. It looks like neither of them had a photographer telling them how to stand as to not block other members and what not tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) There's one from 2006 or 2007 where Axl looks like he's the vocalist for a hardcore rap group. Edited April 6, 2016 by liers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, like everyone here, am thrilled that Slash and Duff are back in the band, and can't wait to see what they pull off together. That said, I see no reason to shit on the band's longest-standing lineup as being "thrown together" or "fake" or whatever. Whatever that band was, it was a group that stayed together and that put on some damn fine rock n' roll shows. No war to fight, and nothing has been lost as far as I'm concerned.

They had no creative chemistry. It is an example of the, 'throw a couple of random musicians into a pot and hope for the best' mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a band that had "no creative chemistry" they sure do work together a lot - Richard and Frank in the Compulsions, Dizzy and Richard in the Dead Daisies, BBF guesting on their tracks, pretty sure Frank and Richard played together on one of Stinson's solo records, Frank and Pittman in BEATRZR (not that I want to acknowledge that crap's existence). Ever consider that chemistry wasn't the problem so much as Axl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever consider that chemistry wasn't the problem so much as Axl? Yes, but is the quality of the material within those various projects up to the standards of GNR? Axl is a ballad writer..his attempt at writing a rocker (Shotgun Blues) was questionable to many fans. He needs a dynamic, creative team (Stradlin/Slash/Mckagan) to provide him with quality rock n' roll songs, so that he can sing on them. In my opinion, 'Shotgun Blues' is better than any of the 'rockers' on CD. Therefore, I feel that Axl has not managed to replicate the creative success of the original lineup with other musicians, where rock n' roll songs are concerned.
