I think its the fact that when axl did it, it looked kick ass and hardcore. When scott does it its more soft looing. I dont really care as long as he just doesnt stand there and sing. i hate that

Yep, it's the fact that some people are bothered by the fact that Scott isn't worried about looking traditionally "manly".  I think it makes less secure people feel guilty for watching it.  Personally, I love his stage persona.  The dude is married to a supermodel, quit worrying about him looking gay.

I've never seen Axl move like Scott does, but I see your point. The thing is, Axl kinda used to do that like 10-15 years ago...People are complaining about Axl's shorts/spandex/whatever (UYI tour) but look at the pants Scott is wearing in the Slither video! I don't feel guilty for watching it. I just feel like sticking to the audio boots.

Btw, Scott recently said he would "get maniac on [a journalist's] ass!", I know it's just an expression but it's still a weird one, especially towards a guy who gave the album 4 stars out of 5...

Really? Do you have a pic of his wife? Who is she?

So?  

Its my assumption that 9 out of 10 people will tell you that 10 to 15 years ago was when Axl was at his best (the one exception being davegnfnr2k).  Is your point that dancing strangely is outdated or something?

...Theyre silver pants?  Youre going to compare them to spandex biker shorts?

Thats cool, Im just a little confused by your justification for it.

I think the verbal attack was unnecessary and silly, but it wasnt exactly the glowing review you seem to think it is when the author calls Weiland a "career fuckup" and suggests that the band was trolling rehab centers.  It was all completely backhanded - certainly not worth responding to, but there was a little more than just 4 stars.

[eNgIeS]

I reckon it was a Good performance, not great, but good.

Slash & Scott slipped up a few times, but when they didnt slip up they did amazingly well  & sounded great. Scott voice sometimes sounds a lil off but when he hits the right note it was just amazing to hear

So yeah could've been better, no where near as bad as these "anti-VR" guys tried to say

[Hung Well]

Man, am I the only one who wishes Sorum wasn't part of this thing?  That dude has no charisma and he just looks stupid back there making faces and doing his best to look intense and cool.

Aside from that... it rocked.

[Booker Floyd]

People did it for the 2002 tour and we had to deal with it, so why cant these vr fans deal with it?

Its a simple question that has yet to been answered.

How exactly did you deal with it?

By participating in boring, drawn-out arguments, and constantly bringing them up two years later...?

The "fuck up" in the solo was an extended trill, or heavy vibrato. It was in the scale of the solo. It was just different.

When people rag on Robin, its when he goes out of key by a half note in LALD. Missing a note by a half step is the worst thing you can do, as it is very obvious you screwed up. The fact is, Robin also didn't only do this once. He also fucked up the SCOM intro. As if there is any other way to play that. I love Robin. He screwed up, oh well. Only a handfull of internet geeks care anyways. They only care because this new incarnation is supposed to be SO special. Why is it these hired guns can't even play the notes. I think thats all it is.

Scott was out of key in the Howard Stern performace of "Slither". He was fine in the Letterman performance.

It was one of the better late night live sets in the last couple years. Its not saying a whole lot, but its still a valid statement.

[Bravefish]

i would like the actual precise second where he messes up because I fail to hear it. IF you mean the bend after the first quick bit that is purely intentional just a thing guitar players do fall a bit behind time and then bend/run their way to get bk in time, listen to Gary Moore if you don't believe me. Listen to him ur like does this fit he's lost it then a run or a bend and its like that was fantastic. Robin purely hit a wrong note on the fretboard that is poor and sounds terrible, i thought that the band was strong they sounded good apart maybe vocals werent as strong as poss. As a guitar player if I could play a solo like that as well as that, would I be in university? Hell no

playing too faast or too slow is fucking up too you know......

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Why is it that VR fans give Chris Pittman shit for looking "gay" yet defend Scott for looking "gay"?

Its one of thoese things that make you go HMMMMM

[younggunner]

Why is it these hired guns

keep running your mouth

I said the same thing the other day. its because peopel wnat to get on gnr anyway they can. BUt like i hav ebeen saying hsit comes full circle. Its cool if you dont like new gnr and thier image but why waste your time telling other peopel who like it or dont even care about that stuff. Its annoying. Now when people start talking about vr in any way the same way people talk about vr you get  the "stop comparing them to gnr they are different, yayaya. and the most funniest fun ive reads so far..."scotts teh frontman hes allowed to dress liek that"!lol that is too funny...but whatver ...some people like to hate...

and another funny thing is...can somebody guess what shirt slash was wearing in the nyc show?
the kings of industrial/techno...you guessed it NIN

actually when people make fun of chris pittman, it isn't to be taken seriously because people are just making fun of the fact that he really doesn't have much of a presence with the band.  It's called joking around and the people at this board who don't have something stuck up their ass would understand that.

Why is it funny that Slash was wearing NIN T-shirt?  are you implying that just because Fink is connected he shouldn't be wearing it or that he was taking the piss or what?

I can tell you i have an interview from back in '95 where he states The Downward Spiral was up there with The Stones' Beggers Banquet as his fav albums of all time.  People do not see music in such narrow terms as some on this board seem to.  

And about the dressing up thing, i think you'll find that alot of people who are really enjoying the VR thing, Like Scott Weiland. Those who say things against VR genereally seem to target him - so i have noticed.  I think alot of us liked Scott Weiland already and are not bothered by what he wears.  God help you guys if he comes on in his full drag (yeh wig and pink dress)  look lol

 I don't understand why the way some one is dressed- bothers people so much?  It's cool and important for a front man to be that confident - imo.

[Eduardo]

Dave can you tell me wheres the fuck up?? Cause I cant see it at all, I thought the solo was perfect.. Especially that fast part. And man, that Les Paul is awesome  

[Booker Floyd]

and the most funniest fun ive reads so far..."scotts teh frontman hes allowed to dress liek that"!lol that is too funny

Really?  The "most funniest fun," huh?  So then why did you respond with...

As for your point...its valid and i understand

 

Its okay, nobodys buying your "LOL thhats tooo funny!" defense-mechanisms anyway...

[charl!edontsurf]

I am still waiting for one of the "defenders" to write a functional response. I mean how is anyone expected to take "peopel" or "liek" seriously. After reading it for about a year now, I highly doubt its mistyped that frequently.

This is also a thread about the Letterman performance, not Chris Pitman. I am not sure why people feel the need to infiltrate this thread with useless comments. As someone stated, Pitman could be the coolest dude around and he would still be a joke. Whats his purpose? Does he play the drum "loop" on Madagascar?
