Guns vs. Roses

[Quinarvy]

So, since GNR is one of those bands where there have been so many members, what would your ultimate line up be?

Originas italicized, current bold.

Singers (1) : Axl Rose
Lead Guitarists: Tracii Guns, Slash, Buckethead, Robin Finck, Bumblefoot.
Rhythm Guitarists: Izzy Stradlin, Gilby Clarke, Paul Tobias, Richard Fortus
Bassists: Ole Beich, Duff McKagan, Tommy Stinson
Drummers: Rob Gardner, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum, Bryan Mantia, Frank Ferrer
Keyboards: Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman

Mine would be:

Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dizzy Reed. So basically, the UYI version.

the appetite lineup. axl, slash, izzy, duff, and steven. that is the definitive GN'R lineup for me, and most people i think.

My lineup:
Singer: Axl Rose
Lead Guitarist: Buckethead
Rhythm Guitarist: Izzy Stradlin
Bassist: Duff McKagan
Drummer: Bryan Mantia
Keyboard: Dizzy Reed

I would be really interested to see what music these guys could come up with. You have the hard rock with Izzy and Duff, but bring in the funk with Bryan and Buckethead. I think that the original Guns N' Roses were great, but I would like to see something new because I doubt they would have the same chemistry that they used to have and I don't like to see bands go backwards in their musical progression (ie: Metallica).

Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin (bumped up to lead guitar, because), Duff McKagan and Steven Adler. No rhythm guitar, at all. It's played by Izz-man on the record, not played live. Or they get another guitarist for live stuff. Slash can just... ugh.
I win!
