Tonight I had some friends round my house.  We cracked out the acoustic guitars and started playing some GNR classics and went through a GNR themed jam session:  KOHD, Civil War, Sweet Child, Patience, Yesterdays... then into Fall to Pieces.  We all agreed that VR was as big a part of the GNR legacy as the Chinese Democracy band.   beer The reunion is a beautiful thing!  smoking

So you all agreed on this? Smiley Maybe a group hallucination?!

It's the first time I have read such a nonsense about VR being as important as GNR (CD-era ist still GNR) to the Guns N' Roses legacy

Let's be real, this reunion is on Axl's terms, that's pretty clear by the fact that they're playing the friggin title track to Chinese Democracy. There is no chance in hell they'd play anything Slash has done since GNR, no matter how much we want to see it.
I wouldn't say that. Yes, they are playing Chinese Democracy songs. But the band lost a third guitar player and the arrangements are clearly more guitar driven with less synths and pre-recorded backing tracks such as backing vocals and drum loops. And IMHO they are playing Coma now because it's "Slash's baby" even though it's a tough song to sing.

And if you wanna pick a song, Fall To Pieces was written while Slash was still in GNR and not used until VR. Also, the entire Snakepit debut album would have been GNR's UYI follow up if Axl didn't reject it, so let's not act like IRS is any more a legitimate GNR song than, say, Soma City Ward when they were written around the same time while both Axl and Slash were still together.
IRS was a collaborative effort by several members of GNR and released as GNR. Snakepit was all Slash then handed to Gilby, Matt, Eric Dover and Mike Inez.

But hey, here's an interesting thought from another thread: if Axl would sing Fall to Pieces and/or any Snakepit (the first album) song, would you mind if he changed the lyrics and vocal melodies?

I'm not saying Axl isn't giving Slash anything, but I don't see him agreeing to anything post-GNR.

I'm sure everyone contributed, but IRS is noticeably Axl's songwriting at it's core.  And Snakepit's debut was fairly collaborative; he had the riffs from the UYI tour and didn't flesh out the actual songs until he started jamming with Sorum and Gilby. Not to mention Gilby wrote Dime Store Rock and Monkey Chow, Eric wrote most of Beggars and Hangers-On and Inez's basslines are a big part of several songs. Some of those outros were clearly the result of just jamming.

To answer the question, not at all. Hell, I would love to hear how he would have handled them differently. Take it Away and Soma City Ward are pure GNR. You can bet he wouldn't sing the lyrics it Take it Away, LOL!

Funny, I thought Slither charted higher than anything off CD...

LOL, that's a pretty big footnote in the legacy. Not to mention VR featured three GNR members. Don't act like you don't know you're being unreasonable.

ROFL you're kidding right? "Pretty big footnote"??

It's the same non-existing argument: VR had three ex-members. Who cares about that?
GNR and VR are two different worlds connected by musicians that played in both bands. Where would according to you "legacy impact" start and end? With three former members, with two? Does Izzy's work with other ex-members count as something that has to be included?

I think we could handle this discussion in another thread since we are on a good way to hijack this thread.

And since you don't know me, you can leave out sentences pretending that you know what I am actually thinking ("Don't act like you don't know you're being unreasonable.")

Don't really think VR songs were written for Axl's style.   

Slither is a good song too..   but not something I would sign a petition to see.   

The setlists from the Vegas shows were off the charts.    Not sure VR songs really fit in.

Nope. A minor detour.
And Please no more petitions.
