Exactly.

Unfortunately Olorin, not all forums, and not all moderators/admin's are created equal. I wish that were true, because we'd understand what we're dealing with.

I generalize, because of experience. I've exchaged PM's with "people" over at MyGNR. They absolutely HATE HTGTH. HATE THEM. On the fuckin' internet. Can you imagine that? Hatred for some fuckin' guy at a message board, simply because he gets e-mails from Axl's housekeeper. Wow, let me HATE the guy.

It's all so unneccessary. I wish it were as simple as "we're just here for the music". At this place - I believe that. But i've seen boards come and go MANY times before, founded on that same logic... they all fell into the same trap. I'd hope GN'R Evo doesn't go that route, but i've seen good boards go downhill before with the same philosophy.

All it takes is one bad seed on the mod team. They stir shit, talk shit behind other people's back, literally fight and backstab (for global mod status - wtf) and it amazes me to this day. What kind of losers do that? Those people make the 40 year old virgin look like W. Axl Rose.

For years - i've never laid this at GNR's doorstep, and I never will. Not with Beta, not with Del (both of which, from people I trust, have said are good people) or with Axl himself. They're not involved. They've just got an album to sell, and want to control the information that gets released. THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE. NOT A THING WRONG WITH IT. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

But 99.99999999999999999999999% of the bullshit that goes on with these boards are cooked up by the staff the run them. They're all little legends in their own mind, and honest to God, I think had Axl avoided EVER mentioning Jarmo's name, we'd never had this problem.

It created an entire generation of losers who initially are cocksuckers on the internet in the name of GN'R, just for the hope that they get their fuckin' loser ass name on Shotgun Blues II.

Oh yeah, this album compared to other artists.... CD is an instant-masterpiece.

Whatever it is, I sure hope they do the same for a SE CD release.

I'll buy it, otherwise.... i'll turn on my Pussy Magnet

Olorin, you want to know the age?

Probably 35.

I dunno, but seriously. Most of the people who talk shit on the internet are mature (loosely speaking) adults.

I try to see it the mods way, but I just can't. I just can't. Those cats that run those big boards come across as little petty nerds that need two phonebooks stacked on top of each other to get up to the computer, and then get on their little nazi power trips over people, sitting behind a computer.

The same personality of teachers, that go into public schools, and get off on giving the kids a hard time for every little fucking thing they do.

Cool
