But everytime I get out, they pull me back IN.

Haha, they literally think we buy that shit. We actually think that makes sense.

It would be awesome.

But the question is why would Axl want to do it?

Even if uni won't release more with his new line up, he could tour AFD or play private parties for decades yet just to survive.

And I'd believe he'd do that to death rather than eat humble pie before Slash unless he and Slash were able to repair the friendship..which takes a lot of conversations...and frankly even then...who knows....could either of them really let go of what's happened....

It seems like he carries a lot of hurt/anger/feelings towards Slash....that's the real hold up to a reunion....


And I can understand that logic. There's been people in my own personal life I spent hours, days, weeks, years around every day or every week and knew intimately and worked with and was friends with etc. that you put up with tons of and tons of shit that was seemingly okay 5 years ago, or 10 years ago, or 15 years ago, but now? It would take an act of God to get you in the same room because of all of the doings that went on that caused you to break apart in the first place. Alot of head issues because of the emotions tied in to it, the egos tied in to it, and the general "me first" attitude of every breathing thing on this planet.

The difference?


If I had $150 million for a world tour lying on the table for the taking, i'd be fucking GONE with cash stuffed in my ass. Even if I was already making $12 mil a year with a bunch of touring musicians playing Indian weddings.

The problem is, with this tour Axl has shown he is a professional. He seems to be the happiest he's ever been.

The issue is, he has the tools to BE a professional, it's that constantly "wtf" thing of why he continues to not be. I normally would be the first person saying "the future is progressing towards the future", but in GNR's case and in Axl's case, his future (like his setlists) are in the past. I assure you, Axl will never be able to move forward with GN'R until he moves backwards. Uni is not gonna budge without a reunion, the band wants it, the fans want it, and if Axl EVER wants to record again and release anything under that original deal, he's gonna have to rebuild the brandname of Guns N' Roses as a viable entity and that means -- reunite.

His only other option is tons and tons of promo, and shaking hands, and kissing ass and licking balls and doing what Slash has been doing for 20 years... and even with that option -- I think Axl choses the easy reunion route rather than giving away any more of his dignity.

#1505 Re: The Sunset Strip » The BATMAN Thread » 721 weeks ago

**SPOILER ALERT**

Not that the Oscars have any credibility (TDK deserved a nom in 2008), but honestly TDKR didn't deserve a nom this year. I'm not that familiar with the class of films they chose, so maybe it's real weak, I dunno.

But just based on the merits of TDKR itself, I don't think it deserves a nom. It's the weakest of the three Nolan Batman's, which is even more glaring because it was the film to follow TDK (the best), and even if TDKR had been the only film in the franchise, there's missing attributes to the story that are obvious, plus I agree with what most critics are saying as the ending "wasn't very good".

And I agree with that as well. It's actually a good film up to that point, but I don't really still understand what Nolan was going for in the ending. It seemed like he just gave up on the film at the end. The fly The Bat off into the ocean with the bomb was weak sauce and incredibly cliched for a franchise of this caliber and a director who basically re-invented the comic book film, and he choses a throwback Superman concept to lock out the film which... uhh... ok.

I thought the part of keeping Bruce alive kept the fans appeased, but the critics have majorly complained of it as being gutless. Nolan basically teased killing off Batman at the end of the film, which was a huge statement that literally within seconds he reversed because of the assfuck nerdgasm that would ensue by the thought.

I think his statement was with Robin that "Batman will live on with other men, but Bruce Wayne is retired and happy", so Batman is not dead. Batman is immortal. Batman is an idea. Almost like Jesus.

I don't know, I just felt anti-climatic when I saw the film's ending originally in a theater.

#1506 Re: The Sunset Strip » Mike Patton: Faith No More Reunion Has 'Petered Out' » 721 weeks ago

Which is why I think it will happen more. Only Axl would wait until his voice is absolute terror on mic to pull the trigger. The dude has no timing.

They'll absolutely love you in San Francisco

#1508 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live in London (Airing on Vh1 Classic) » 721 weeks ago

I can't keep track of any of their releases that are never released that they will never confirm that actually existed in the first place beyond what was conceived by someone they won't confirm who thought of it in the first place.



So I apologize. wink

#1509 Re: Guns N' Roses » Skwerl's post on MyGNR regarding his leak and his source » 721 weeks ago

Axl's not accepting orders from anyone. What Axl's doing is getting ahold of the airplane stick and ramming it straight down to say "I can" to prove a point he's in control.


The thing is, absolutely NO ONE outside of music business sharks even care. The only people he hurts is his fans, his "family", the band who helped launch his career, and ultimately... himself.


Axl has completely confused "accepting orders" with "common sense". It's like having a 16-year old whore daughter who goes and fucks her boyfriend because you told her not to, and then ends up pregnant asking for you to take care of her.

She (Axl) proved nothing that she's a fucking idiot. Not that she's in control. If anything she proved the exact opposite.

#1510 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash refuses to ever work with Scott Weiland again » 721 weeks ago

Axl's lack of recording new material I think is an unhidden admittance of not having faith in himself without Slash.

They both know they were their best with each other. They both know it.
