If it would have been Adler the headline would have been:

Ex-Guns N' Roses drummer feels Axl Rose should change his band name: "DA cowe offda bawn iz zlashz angg Duff an' p-p-pobably Izz-z-y. D-d-d-is goezz bwwwk to Pawl M-m-mCCarwney thang. Doezi callz himmself d-d-d- Beatlez?"

John, George, and Ringo weren't stupid enough to give Paul rights to the band name.

Is that what happened with GnR?

yep Axl owns the rights to the name

He probably does call himself the Beatles, though.

If Paul McCartney were the only talented member of The Beatles then he certainly could call himself The Beatles.

Why? In Smashing Pumpkins, Billy was the only contributor. Everyone knows that. In Guns, the more control Axl took, the more downhill they went.

Iha wrote one of those two "Batman & Robin" songs. I don't know why I know that. I wish I didn't know that. But I do.

The Dallas cowboys have zero players on the current roster who played on the 1995 team, but they still call themselves the Dallas Cowboys. We don't biatch and moan about that.

And the core of the band was Axl and Izzy.

AND, as someone who was essentially just the first in a long line of "Guns n Roses" mercenaries, Sorum hardly has any place to talk.

yeah, he also has writing credit on 2 of my favorite songs from the early days. but overall, corgan is the core.

Well, the first drummer really DID need to be replaced. The guitarists and bass player, not so much.

is this the druggie one? cause if it is, he should just shut up and go back to whoring himself out to VH1

A short history of GnR

85-87 Excellent work
87-89 Excellent work, meteoric rise to fame following release of one of the best rock albums ever
90-91 Still going strong
91 Izzy leaves, and it all goes down hill
99-Present Rose enters a ten year period of w*nkery and releases an album only Creed would be proud of.

Chinese Democracy is a good album. Street of Dreams and Catcher in the Rye are some of the best songs that have ever come out of GnR (even if it is the watered down Axl version)

Izzy and Axl were both good song writers, not just Izzy.

 
strafe 2009-05-01 06:01:52 AM  
I don't think it's that big of a deal. At his current rate they'll all be in an old folks home by the time Axl releases a new album anyway.

danduran 2009-05-01 09:03:38 AM  
If a band exists, and you leave, the band still exists. Everyone but Axl and Dizzy left - they chose to ditch GNR - so why should those who didn't have to change?

Anything GNR does now doesn't somehow magically ruin the music you enjoyed as a kid, grandpa.

Get over it.

 
PYROY 2009-05-01 09:34:10 AM  
Probably Izzy? Izzy is pretty much responsible for those guys getting a paycheck.

And it was Rose's idea to start the band, wasn't it:
Not that it's important to me, I just have a vast warehouse of trivia stored up.

There would be a debate about whether someone did, in fact, get told.

Exactly. Farker started the trend of "hey, my band is good, but that one's better, I'll go be in that one instead" that ended up killing hundreds of very good bands.

True. He is, as he puts it, "King Asshole," but I've got no problem with him stopping the show to kick out one of the assholes who revel in ruining anything they touch. I wish more singers had the balls to single those idiots out.

Agreed. Catcher in the Rye is amazing.

Does anybody remember the incident where the little Asian guy made it past all the goons to get up on stage and punch Axl in the mouth? Early 90s? Can't find documentation of that anywhere, but swear I remember it.

 
STRYPERSWINE 2009-05-01 11:52:03 AM  
The bare minimum you need in order to rightfully call it GNR is Axl, Slash, and Duff.

Period.
