Q: how much would the guns n roses album live like a suicide be worth?
i have the guns n roses cd "live like a suicide" how much would it be worth in australian dollars????????
A: You could go to a few local record stores and see how much they're selling it for / how much they'd be willing to pay for your copy. You could also look online and see what others are selling it for.
Keep in mind though, it depends on whether or not your copy has been listened to or whether it's still new.
Also.. whether you have one of the first original copies or a reprint from a later time.
Q: What are your thoughts on Guns 'N' Roses' new album CHINESE DEMOCRACY? Do you hope GnR makes more albums?
Did you like the new album by this recent incarnation of Guns N Roses?
I find a lot of it harsh and jumbled.
But some of it is starting to grow on me.
A: Yes I like it. I'm not afraid to admit it. It's a very different sound but I think it's good and it deserves a listen.
Q: What is the easiest Guns N' Roses song to start out with?
i am a HUGE fan of Guns and I wanted to know what is the easiest song thats on ELECTRIC GUITAR for me to start off before learning all their other songs....
thank you.
A: According to my kid's teacher, it's Don't You Cry Tonight. This is one of the first they used and it's easy and repetitive. Try it!
Q: Any one else think Guns N' Roses is/was better than Aerosmith?
Yes, I know Aerosmith has been around longer and they inspired Guns N' Roses, but I think GNR has better songs. Besides a few cover songs, all the GNR songs were written by the band themselves. After the 1970s most of Aerosmith's biggest songs were written by professional song writers. Aerosmith does has a larger library of songs and albums, but I'm going for quality over quantity here.
A: agreed.
i'm an aerosmith fan but i just think GNR beats them...
EDIT: chinese democracy is amazing, but for people with a 5 second attention span won't like it because it takes more then one half*** listen to it before you start liking it.
EDIT: aerosmith more diverse then Guns N Roses? LOL!@!@! listen to estranged, don't damn me, sweet child o mine, bad obsession all sound different.
EDIT: yea i like illusions the best
Q: How do i make my electric guitar sound like Guns n Roses' Sweet child of mine intro lead?
Please help me. what effects should i have? overdrive? distortion? and what mod should i use, and settings please. i kinda use boss effects so if someone give me detailed settings on each effect, that would be great! thanks!
A: well first off, what sort of guitar and amp have you got? slash is famous for using Gibson Les Pauls and Marshall Amps. If you have a Les Paul style guitar, use the neck pickup, with the tone rolled off quite a fair bit, how much depends on your pickup. This is called " Woman Tone" and is a favourite of Slash and Eric Clapton. As for the amp, use a fair amount of distortion, don't have to much treble in, but also dont let the bass be to overpowering. I would say have the treble at around 4/5 and the bass and middle at 7. Slash doesnt really use many effects, maybe a little chorus would sound nice, personally I don.t use any apart from a wah wah pedal. If you have a strat style guitar, use either neck and middle or just the middle pickup, and use the same amp settings as above. All being said, it really depends on your guitar and amp. Hope this helps, and keep listening to GNR!!
PS. If you do have a les paul style guitar, why not put some of slash's signature pickups in it? Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II

Or why not buy his signature guitar at gibson.com!!

Q: what amp should i use to play Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses?
if you can use any amp, how should you adjust it?
if you can use any amp, how should you adjust it?
How do you adjust it to play the intro? Do you also need a whammy bar?
A: Slash uses a Marshall 100 WATT head and stack. You don't need a whammy bar but you might want an echo effect for the beginning and a slide for the middle section.
Q: What happened to Steven Adler (Guns N`Roses)?
What happened to the original Drummer of Guns N`Roses?
Is he still alive?
A: he's on celebrity rehab w/ dr. drew and looks/sounds pretty bad cuz he had a stroke
Q: How much money has Guns N' Roses made to date on album sales alone?
I was wondering around how much Guns N' Roses has made to date on album sales alone. Me and my friend were thinking about it but neither of us could come up with a good number. Does anybody know around how much?
A: No. it doesn't work quite like that...they get a percentage of each album sold, which varies by artist; usually it's not more that 15-20 percent of the retail price. Some, like Garth Brooks and Billy Joel, have contracts which specify a much higher percentage. Most artist's contracts are for much lower percentages, which they renegotiate as they become more popular and are able to sell more albums. No way to really answer this question without knowing their percentages on all their albums.
Q: What does Civil War by Guns N Roses mean to you?
I'm doing a project for school where we break down the lyrics to a song. Just wondering what your take on the song is. Thanks.
A: It's an anti-war song, clearly.
From there, it has a lot of anger.....and is open to major interpretation.
The reference to Kennedy is directly related to Vietnam....since it was always assumed that Kennedy would have got us out sooner then we ultimately did get out.
The Cool Hand Luke clip at the beginning is great....but never really fit the song, IMO.
Q: why are people always comparing guns n roses to nirvana?
it seems like on youtube there are a lot of videos like guns n roses vs nirvana and people here are comparing guns songs to songs by nirvana i dont understand why because guns arent grunge at all and nirvana doesent sound at all like guns
A: Probably because of the rivalry between Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose
Rose had been a big fan of the band Nirvana, who were signed to the same record label as Guns N' Roses, Geffen. He twice asked singer Kurt Cobain and Nirvana to open for Guns N' Roses for the second leg of the Use Your Illusion Tour, which Cobain declined. After declining Rose's offer, Cobain began to talk about Guns N' Roses and Rose to numerous media sources, claiming that they were "so obviously pathetic and untalented".[61] At the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, jokingly asked Rose to be the godfather to their daughter, Frances Bean, prompting Rose to challenge Cobain to a fight.[62][63]
In an interview with Michael Azerrad in the unofficial biography Come as You Are, Cobain admitted there was one thing he did like about Guns N' Roses: "They totally mess things up and then they sit back and look at what they messed up and then try to figure out how they can fix it, whereas we mess things up and just dwell on it and make it even worse."[64]
Cobain further commented on Rose's rock star persona, claiming, "His role has been played for years. Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose. And it's just boring. It's totally boring to me. Why it's such a fresh and new thing in his eyes is obviously because it's happening to him personally and he's such an egotistical person that he thinks that the whole world owes him something."[62][65]
Then-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan was one of the last people to see Kurt Cobain alive before his death in 1994,[66] and the other former members of Guns N' Roses are now getting along with the Cobain estate. Courtney Love has privately apologized to Duff McKagan for their criticism of the band. In addition, the two have performed "It's So Easy" live together,[67] and Velvet Revolver, the current band of McKagan and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, have played Nirvana's song "Negative Creep" in concert and released a version of it as the B-side of their CD-single for "Slither".
Q: Do you like chinese democracy by guns n roses, and is it a good chrimbo pressie?
Right I can't put shopping off any longer, now since I haven't heard this before I buy it who has and is it any good? tvm.
A: I've deliberatley not bought this album, i think Guns N Roses are long gone, all it is now, is Axl with a backing band, not the real GnR.
A real guns n roses fan would prob think the same
Q: Do you think that Guns N Roses will take over the world again?
And don't say oh well there not the old GNR . I'm talking about the NEW GNR not comparing them to the old! Just on the music style?
A: As long as the music produce with stunning lyrics and awesome guitar play, I'm sure it will be a best seller.
Just don't ever do a remake of sweet child of mine, cause i'm sick of hearing it even in Guitar Hero... :-P hehe
Q: When did you discover the greatness of Guns N Roses?
How old are were you when you were blown away? And what made you go, OMG this group is amazing?
Ugh I was with them in 87' when they first came out!
A: When I first heard Welcome to the Jungle when it was new. I'm old too. I loved them ever since, but I'm not looking forward to Chinese Democracy. So did you watch the PPV concert in 1988 or 1989 in the USSR? Guns N Roses were the headliners and Autograph was the local band.
I still have Appetite and Lies on cassette!
The other great band that got started too late before grunge killed hard rock was Skid Row. It's funny that they've been crossing paths lately.
