You trying to be an arse?

How many bands have the original cast then, most kick out tony who cant play guitar when he was 15 or bob left to work in insurance. Prime example would be ian stewart of the rolling stones who left in 1963 to be there road manager, now you wouldnt count him as an original member.

Slash. Did. Fuck. All.

Guns n Roses, if we're being totally honest, was all about Axl and Izzy. Slash brought some meandering solo's and a top hat.

People who say "it's not GnR without Slash are idiots".

Maybe saying he did fuck all was harsh. But i have no idea why people forget Izzy. He was a far more important member of the band than Slash.

Do you think?

I saw both in 2010 and definitely preferred the current GnR lineup. I didn't miss any of the other original musicians when I saw GnR, but when I saw Slash I couldn't help but think how much I wished Axl was there. Plus I found his solo effort to be really rather tedious. Not much to it at all. I found myself bored until they played something by GnR, or Velvet Revolver.

I feel like i'm coming across anti-Slash now... i'm really not though.

I was really disappointed by GnR in 2010, had seen them a few yers before and Axl's performance was so much better first time. I ended up leaving after an hour so it may have picked up, but what i saw felt really forced and Axl just seemed like a bit of a douche, not a legendary frontman. Whereas both times I saw Slash'n Co seemed full of energy, really seemed to be enjoying themselves and Myles Kennedy was a just a better frontman.

Maybe I just don't like him after he turned up an hour and half late to the first show, making me have to find somewhere to stay in Newcastle because the last train was the same time they started.

    • If you didn't see melt banana at Apolo. Go see them at the festival. Insane. 
    • Interesting, and thanks for coming back to give an update! I've seen that the second stage looks bigger than usual too, looks to be a Serious Stages - Stellar Stage from distance photos.    Seems like sizing wise stages have been scaled up somewhat this year.
    • I see its cancelled now but they did leave it really late to announce plus they are up against Kelburn Garden Party Festival not to far from the festival site.
    • Easily my favourite set of the day.
