From what I've heard they weren't all in the band at the same time, but yeah they all played in it.

I didn't mean all at one time, I just meant at one point or another the three were in it.

Alright guys.
Im in this Friday night, been a while since I did that last.
Im in the mood for some rock n roll/hard rock tonight, so im just listening to Guns N' Roses, for the first time in about a year.
These guys are pretty awesome if you're on the beer and just want some good ol hard rockin'.

He can be considered somewhat metal. Just an expiremental project I guess. He does alot of stuff. I like his one winged angel.

The powers that be say that he is not Metal though.
And all fairness, he does some Metally stuff, but mainly its not... and he's a composer... so I suppose its different.

And "one winged angel" eh ;).
Queer.

Ermm...
Metal Hell, I just picked up my dad's old acoustic a week ago and want to learn to play guitar.
I've learned, like, 7 chords so far cause I fail.
What do you guys suggest I do now (besides learning more chords)? I want to play metal eventually.
And should I have posted in the guitarist's crew instead?

Just stick to the basics for now. Can't do much else without them.
And Master of Puppets is a good song for learning to play Metal.
Its how I got into the style.
Dream Theater have some cool stuff too which isn't too difficult, but sounds ace. Erotomania, Pull Me Under are examples.
Also Opeth will show you that basic chords are good in Metal too :).
OMG and classical music is apparently all the rage... though I don't dwell on it myself.

And should I have posted in the guitarist's crew instead?

Probably.

They'll settle in eventually... hopefully... maybe. I think the entire album is equally ace. Even the disposable intro/outro and they're nothing but about a combined 6 minutes of cheesy "space" sounds.

Is it just me, or does Jon Oliva's voice sound scratchy as hell (not that there's anything wrong with that)?

I've only listened to them as background music, didn't really take it in. But when I did, I liked.
