slash fans on the defensive here -

a little bashing is ok - we bash axl, finck, etc. and they are in gnr.
why can't we bash past members?

If Madagascar and Scraped got 58 votes between them, that means a mere 29 votes each.  So in actual fact these are the most popular songs on that list, as all the following ones recieved roughly double the votes smile

that's because there are far less songs to vote for right now

if twat wins i will be disappointed
better and sorry are complete songs (minus better's rediculous intro)

twat probably wouldn't have even made the album if it weren't for the great outro

Fuck all of you that think you have to be 100% behind CD to be interested in Axl or Guns N' Roses.  It's you guys that need to wake up to reality, not the rest of us.

That's a tad harsh.


Bri does raise some valid points. Not about YOU specifically, but regarding all these fan communities. However, its always been like this. You have the various 'factions' at each others throats. There's even factions within factions. The main difference now is the album is out. To make matters even worse in that regard, pipe dreams are being destroyed. The album didn't do much damage in relation to pop culture like had been predicted for years, and a reunion isn't on the horizon either.

So basically these sites went from one state of flux to another, destination unknown. I can see why activity is down at all these sites. It's mainly just the hardcore of hardcores hanging in at this point.

It's like its not even about the music anymore, and I'm not even sure if it ever was during this Chinese Democracy era. Most seemed to be more interested in the making of it and all the bullshit not just behind the scenes, but the past as well.

Chinese Democracy is on shelves
Slash is doing a solo album
Duff has his hands full with Loaded
Izzy will probably release something
Buckethead releases a new album every five minutes

So why isn't anyone happy? 14

In reality, this is the most productive that current and ex members have ever been since the old band's implosion.

i think things will mellow out sooner than later.

we never really knew what was gonna happen with cd's release.

a lot people lost interest in gnr along the way but a portion of the ones that stuck around were expecting something different and are disspointed in the way things turned out while a small "faction within that faction" continue to stick around in hopes that this is just a chapter to the story.

now that the saga is finally over, a reunion is clearly not happening, and a second album seems poised to be released in less than a decade people now know what gnr is and they will begin to get used to it or move on and hopefully a few new fans will drop in and replace anyone that does leave.

I did speak up about BH - I think it got lost in my rants that people like to argue about instead of discussing something they actually agreed with.

yeah i was just kidding about the speaking up part.

i'm sure i wasn't on the board yet when this happened.

i'm glad we see eye to eye on the slash-GNR/bucket-SOLO thing. i'm not in the mood to pummel you right now.

Yes, you can be, but it's not always the most effective way to make a point.

a point as in a sharp weapon that you try to stab the other with

or

one that makes the other person stop and consider your view?

[although you're the first person i've noticed say that bucket is more suited as a solo artist.

I said that immediately when I was introduced to BHs solo work.  It's far, far superior to anything he did in GnR.  It was further proof that he didn't fit in with the band.

well karma for you then
next time - speak up!

for the record, i think his contributions fit well in gnr but it's not as "magical" as slash's work was.

compare bucket head's solo to slash's
then compare slash's gnr work to bucket's
