I don't get the fuss.  They were a mediocre band to begin with :/

I do like the way that Axl Rose stops a show when things get thrown at him, though.  That always cracks me up.
never liked that group - mediocre indeed ... got my demo of catcher with brian, so that's enuff for me. fuck the rest.
on the way since jazz ...
It´s ok if you d not like Guns And Roses, but please, do not say they were a bad or a mediocre band, they were a kick ass rock band indeed!
agree

used to be a GNR fan, too; I have great memories of when Use Your Illusion I & II was released, and when I saw them live in Barcelona with Brian (first time I saw Brian!!!!)

I also agree with this point of view. It was a very good rock band.

Look, it's a big world with a lot of good music in it.  They're just not that special.  I guess you're right; they're not 'bad'.  That's the best that can be said about them though.
Are you sure he was really cut out of it? I just got the real thing (it's in piratebay for whomever is interested, and no it's not the countless fakes, it's real) and it seems that it's (still) Brian in Catcher in the Rye.
And... it's not bad actually, mostly if you are a GNR fan. Visually the big hat man might not be there anymore, but they sound the same. I'm surprised.
Axl posted today on two gnr forums and he answered questions

about catcher in the rye and brian:

Brians solo itself is a personal fave of mine
and I really couldn't understand as he's such a rock legend why it
wasn't openly appreciated more at the time.

In actuality all that feel and emotion referred to now had a lot to do
with Sean and I and the parts I chose out of Brian's different runs,
versions, practice runs etc to make sure we had those elements in one
version. It's entirely constructed from edits based around one specific
note Brian hit in a throw away take. And though Brian seems to have
warmed a bit to it at least publicly he was unfortunately none to
pleased at the time with our handiwork.

I remember looking at Brian standing to my left
and him staring at the big studio speakers a bit aghast saying "But
that's not what I played."
Funny how Axl is all upset about the album and assorted tracks leaking prior to release.

And then he cut Brian out of the mix due to audience reaction PRIOR TO RELEASE!!!!

Brian should sue that same guy the feds are going after for posting the album.
