That's how media works. A new song, even if it's the next Strawberry Fields Forever, will be done in a week, if they cannot add some stories to it. Cause personal feelings, etc. make it interesting.
Take then GN'R, with Axl not speaking and the others avoiding every GN'R-related question since it's 'not their business', and the whole thing is dead. I've seen plenty of CD adverts and fliers - could have been more, could have been less. The label could have promoted the shit out of the record, if Uncle Axl didn't come out, they wouldn't have sold more. The whole Axlish blame game is boring. Had he come out, had his musicians speak freely, the sales would have beeen doubled.

Jagger and Rose aren't up for the gig...call it a day Slash and just say "I'm doing my own thing".

Yeah, just say it's over. It wouldn't make sense to revive the band in 2 or 3 or 5 years. Slash and Duff (with matt or anyone else) can start a new band anytime in the future, when they'll find a singer they both like - with a new rhythm guitarist, too. I don't understand why they force this VR thing, since it wasn't that big, and they have an even smaller fanbase today. They don't even have a record label, as far as I know. I don't even get why Corey would leave his more popular bands for them - except that nothing can top a band with Slash N' Duff.

#1273 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dj Says working new GnR songs ! :Ashba Black Carpet Interview » 810 weeks ago

Axl said the 'next album' would be similar to CD, just meaner and darker in some places.

#1274 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dj Says working new GnR songs ! :Ashba Black Carpet Interview » 810 weeks ago

We don't know whether DJ's lying or telling the truth (in some form). But the truth is that it doesn't mean shit. Last time Axl needed more than a decade to release the stuff. It can be quicker this time, but considering his personality, his demands and his relationship with the label, even if they had an album ready to release, it could take years to happen. I'm sure even a third VR album will happen before CDII. Or not later.

#1275 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff new 'The Taking' » 810 weeks ago

Such a shame. It's a pretty good album, probably the best Duff solo effort.

We can all agree Axl is a little weird and problematic. It's not like we're not seeing it. It's just that some seems to take it personal for some reason. Like Axl fucked their mom or something.

'Little' isn't the right word, I think. Anyway, I don't take Axl's actions and non-actions personal. I'm just a has-been delusional fan, who can hardly accept that others still think that everything that goes shit in the GN'R world is somebody else's fault, and Axl is the saint, who only wants peace and love on the world. Those take it personal who cannot accept that Axl is a human being, too, with lot of problems and faults.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that Axl can't stand an ounce of criticism. He only wants slaves and his puppets around him. And on the world.

#1278 Re: Management » MyGNR closing for business » 811 weeks ago

I remember you from HTGTH. You totally backed Jarmo even with his 'bad news are no news' policy. I'm surprised you needed some fresh air and came here, but do nothing, but justify Jarmo's and The Malibu Mafia's decisions. I guess it's a mission for you. Won't work here.

I didn't like MyGNR, cause every single thread turned into a chaotic name-calling. But I rather choose that, than the stalinist board. Thanks to God, we have GNREvolution.
Better to have idiots saying anything they want @ MyGNR, then a fascist regime that tells you what's right and what's wrong, what exists and what does not. "Four legs good, two legs bad". Hell, they even censored Merck's letter! They can't even talk about the 'next album', years after CD. They really can't talk about anything, just how cool Axl and the then-current line-up is, and what an evil, talentless, druggie thief Slash is. It reminds me of very, very bad times, you'd think never come back.  I live in a country that suffered from communism for 45 years, and I prefer the Hyde Park democracy.

In case of GN'R... the band, especially Axl has the most responsibility in having the most erratic fanbase on the world. I guess in the history of music. Paranoia, hatred, bitterness, insincerity, the complete lack of reliability and not taking responsibility for anything you do, but making stupid, vague comments or telling made-up stories, blaming the rest of the world... well it causes some problems in the fan base.

I think ppp was kind of saying this earlier, but I'll say it again and point to specific examples.  I can't help but look at two things:

1) In January of last year, Madison "reported" that Axl had ordered a Slash apparel ban at the Winnipeg show and she never, ever was able to prove that Axl himself actually asked for this as opposed to someone doing this on Axl's behalf, like when Doug Goldstein banned Slash from the two Joint shows in 2001.

Madison single-handedly contributed to the propagation of this rumor.  There is no doubt about that.

2)  The discussion of the MSL documents and the rumors of what it contained were damaging enough that a member of the band, Ron, felt compelled  to go to MyGNR and defend himself against these allegations.

Both of these things happened on Eric's forum, a FAN forum.

Why in the hell should these things ever happen on a FAN forum for the band in question?  At a certain point, you have to step back and say, "Is this really functioning as a fan forum now?"

To me, no fan forum should have this effect on the band they are dedicated to.  Madison wasn't acting as a fan when she did what she did, she was acting as a reporter.  MSL wasn't acting as a fan when he did what he did, he was acting like a greedy, selfish, inconsiderate fool.

Should this behavior take place and/or be discussed and rewarded on a forum dedicated to supporting a band?  No.

Like I said, I've been on fan forums for Queensryche and Iron Maiden and some others, and never, ever seen anything like this kind of crap happen there.

Ali

Not buying your line of thinking. Freedom of speech is important. If people want to talk about Axl's pubic hair, then they should be free to do so. Hell, MyGNR pretty much does that all the time. 16

Freedom of speech does not apply to a private enterprise or operation like this, as ppp said.  It's like a restaurant that has a sign that says "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone". 

If you want to talk about things to the point of stirring damaging rumors,  or whatever the hell else you want that's fine.  But, at the same time don't claim you are functioning as a FAN forum.  It's not quite like that, in all honesty.

Ali

Jesus, that Jarmo guy is censoring even the band member interviews! Don't act like freedom of speech means anything to Axl and his puppets. You're really in the wrong place if you support those jarmoish actions. Tejastech was right in his posts, just you don't wanna get the point and try to hijack the conversation. Won't work here, but try HTGTH.

So the King doesn't know about anything? It'd be kinda strange, since Axl seems to obsessed with the forum comments, I doubt that when he's monitoring that site, the name 'Goebbels' wouldn't come into his mind, if freedom of speech means anything to him. Except something to kill.

He knows because they are feeding it to him, and they are feeding it to him the way they want too. That' my theory.

Possible, but it reminds me of those theories that certain dictators were good in the heart, but surrounded themselves with evil people who manipulated them. I agree that Axl's probably living in a dream world, but he wants to be delusional and gets those people who lie enough for him and do the daily dirty job he wants to be done.
