What was the gig that appeared in the BBC documentary where the crowd in the front row destroyed the bands cables ??. Axl singled out someone telling them 'and You **** you/

I don’t think I saw that documentary and if I did it didn’t make much of an impression. Crowd destroyed cables ? Was it the street scene gig in LA ? I’ve read up as much as I can on all GNR gigs and in that era that’s the only one I can think would match that description.

Yeah it was that street gig

They spilled water near the stage I knew that and they also were getting out of hand in terms of rowdiness to where the stage itself was moving according to accounts of the bands.

Also, I read something earlier that someone was suggesting that Steven Adler was an accurate recounting of the events surrounding the near death of Nikki sixx back in the day. I had to laugh at that opinion. I know Nikki says his recollection of the events is poor(what a shock) Steven alder is hardly any better.

Well the fact that his book reckless road was only a taste of what he had GNR wise I’d say he’s got the holy grail of early GNR stuff in terms of video and audio. That’s why the podcast is about the first 50 gigs because he recorded them. Imagine the video of those shows remastered ?

PetraMac · 02-03-2021 10:48am

I'm subscribed to the first 50 gigs too. I would pay good money to see the whole contents of Marc's archive!

Seeing as there is nothing happening with the current lineup of GNR we are down to the former members and news they are making. So Matt sorum and his wife are having a kid. That’s the news.

Slash along with Brent, Todd and Frank are currently putting together the next SMKC album. So a current member of GN'R has something happening..

Well not as part of GNR. There’s nothing happening in that band and likely nothing will happen because of the management of this band couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. I’ll get the next slash album when it comes out and I’ve no doubt it’ll be great but again there’s nothing happening with GNR and its very annoying. I’m not sure why I should be surprised at this point but well I am.

I should have worded my post better to make it clear I meant as part of GNR.

I think we may as give up the ghost hoping for GN'R to do anything in terms of new music, Axl's motivation has long gone.

Just a little tidbit I think is interesting, Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators have now been around the same amount of time that Slash was in Guns N' Roses. His first solo album is a decade old this month, and Apocalyptic Love will hit the decade milestone next May.

When it comes to GNR I’m an optimist(**** knows why) who believes there’s hope. That's a mad tidbit when you think about it. Good albums they are too.

Did you see the thread on mygnr about the things that have happened since Chinese democracy was released in 2008 ? Jesus it’s sad to see. You could say that GNR got quality rather then quantity out of their first go around from 1985-1996/7/8 album wise but it’s annoying when you think of how talented they were as a group and the wasted opportunities.

Aren't we all eternal optimists when it comes to being a fan of this band? Slash when you think about it all, has done a lot in the 25 years he was out of GN'R, 2 Snakepit albums, session work, one of the founding members of Velvet Revolver, 1 self titled solo album, and 3 under the SMKC name, with a 4th on the horizon for 2021.

I've not seen the thread, I've not visited MYGNR in several years.

On a sidenote, the Appetite For Distortion podcast did an interview with David Wild, the Rolling Stone writer who Axl gave his first interview to in 2000, and got to hear some of the stuff Axl and the nu-band were working on at the time.

Well at this stage yes we are. Well he’s not sat on his hole surrounded by a family of Brazilians talking about vibes or energy or whatever the **** that woman in Nevada was doing. Yoda I think she was referred to as.

Those snakepit albums are great despite what Matt sorum said in his now delayed auto biography and wanting his drums deleted. Also, despite what his wiki entry says Matt sorum didn’t cofound snakepit.

I do from time to time and in fairness it’s gotten better and there’s still this small group that thinks Axl is immune from blame for anything.

Yeah I saw that but haven’t listened to it yet. So he got to basically hear what would become CD ? Do you listen to any of the recent leaks ?

Yeah he decided to give it welly to his body for years although to be fair the original five are all alive and don’t look that bad. How duff looks the healthiest I’ll never know. Steven has issues with his speech but that’s because of the stroke and then banging his head against a hard floor during it. I assume Izzy is healthy enough given he stopped years ago.

Lithium93_ · 27-03-2021 8:07pm

Slash and Duff by rights should've been dead ages ago, Slash at 35 was given either 6 days or 6 weeks to live in 2001, but he's had a pacemaker since, totally clean since 2006 to my recollection, gave up the smokes in 2009 after his mother passed from lung cancer.

Duff, as is well known.... That man is a guide to addicts in how to do a complete 360 in your life, and get away from bad habits.

And axl looks the oldest because of whatever he was up to in the early 2000s with the eyebrows going missing and him looking shinny(for lack of a better word). It’s unfortunate that his voice is the way it is now, because I don’t think it’s a case of him not wanting to sing like he used to, because to me it sounds like he doesn’t have the control he used to have. I mean during concerts he shows he can still do it in spurts but not like it was. Maybe if he hadn’t made **** of his voice during the UYI tour where he sounded like he was gargling bleach at times and sounding rough he might not have been as bad now.

Yeah and he was very close with her son Dylan who’s shown in that video. I think there’s four kids from the members of the band. Two each from slash and duff.

Slash and Duff ain't the only ones with kids, think Dizzy, Frank & Richard are old lads too..

There's so much blank space in the history of this band from the end of the classic line up we came to know and love that's missing, it would make an interesting book/books to read if the book started around '98 when the band compromised of Axl, Tommy Stinson, Josh Freese, Robin Finck on lead guitar, Paul Tobias, Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman.

Just saw the email about the rescheduling of the show which honestly isn’t that much of a surprise really. It seems they are starting the tour in Australia and New Zealand at the end of this year and hopefully by then the world will be back to some kind of normality.

Mecrab · 06-04-2021 3:50pm

Dublin is 8th on the euro leg so hopefully that means Axls voice will be at least half way warmed up when he plays here!

It was known that slash auditioned for poison and C.C Deville got the gig but I hadn’t heard about the issues it caused within poison. And I think it worked out well for both bands.

The list of best and worst songs on GNR albums is interesting.

I agree with some of the picks because my world was a mess and yeah probably not a great move to include a song by Charles Manson even if none of the royalties went to him, they went to a family member of one of
his victims.

You’re crazy isn’t the worst song on appetite either. I’d put that at think about you.

IMO coma is the best song on UYI 1.

Edit: lies: I’d agree patience is the best song on the album and I’d take one of the covers as the worst song and move to the city especially live is a great song.
