#171 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Official Website » 129 weeks ago
Seems completely useless indeed. What is supposed to be happening on this site? News and updates? 
Reminds me of something like this: https://www.kevingage.com/
In his case I can see the need. He's a solid actor with a few big credits to his name, but generally he is unknown. I imagine they put up sites like this so that people who might want to hire them can get a quick introduction about who this guy is etc. A promotional tool.
For Axl Rose though this hardly seems necessary.

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Never really listened to this. Great album. A few rather unknown songs that are pretty good.
Best of albums are a bad thing. You don't get the consistent groove that goes into a proper album. All of those songs were created in a small moment of time and that makes them fit together. Greatest Hits and the like feel like a mess in comparison. Very disjointed.

At least we'll find out if he can still sing.
#174 Re: Guns N' Roses » T-Rex cover with Axl, Slash, Duff confirmed » 130 weeks ago
Axl seems to be a sucker for these old legends. He will go above and beyond to please them, unlike his own band.
Makes me think what a missed opportunity it was to not do a AC/DC album.

Axl autobiography would be pretty interesting. It will probably fare better now than 10-15 years ago when the world was still kind of hostile to him. I think that is less the case now.

They didn't show Dallas over here until the late 90s. Dynasty was all the rage. I was watching re runs of that when I came home from school as a kid. Soaps are easy to like if you just get into them. Now I'm mostly too old and set in my ways to watch that type of stuff.
Think I can comfortably say I've never watched a Dallas episode. But yet I know somebody shot JR. That's how big the cultural impact was. Huge in the 80s.

It's almost an achievement for Axl to not do anything productive in all his time off. Does he not get sick of sitting in his house ordering take out? Slash goes on tour because he's got nothing better to do, Duff got his family, so what is Axl doing? He's got a housekeeper, pool guys and whatever to do all that shit the rest of us have to do. There's no wife to order him around, and I can't imagine him on a business schedule so I suppose he mostly lounges around the home all day?

They're in on it, but this is Axl's party. Has been since 1992. As much as I love the guy for his talent, he's the worst band leader ever. The emperor without any clothes. At least Slash & Duff have been out there doing stuff, making music. Axl is just sitting on his pile of gold like Smaug.
I'll say it, we were better off in the darkest days of the CD era. Reunion has ruined the band and it has ruined them. Looking back at the total debacle that was 2002 and it's like a golden age compared to what they're serving up now. That's why Axl shows up on time, he's just phoning it in. No need to get in the moment anymore. And the production on the CD leftovers is laughable. He doesn't care about anything. Slash & Duff too, keeping their mouths shut, tiptoeing around as if they are working for Caligula. Pathetic.
Izzy called it back in 2001 when he said the only thing that could motivate Axl to do a reunion was money.
#179 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2024 “Taking Off” » 136 weeks ago
The reunion gave Axl the excuse to stop pretending. He's not interested in his career or making music anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. Best he can do is sign off on some microwaved chinese leftovers from Slash & Duff. Other than that he's got nothing going. Just turn up for the gig, do some Vince Neil and cash the check.
I've decided that GN'R fans aren't expecting new music as much as they are expecting them just to act like a real band again. What's up, what's going on, we're going to be doing this etc. It's like going to wall mart and just sitting outside hoping they'll open up. No lights in the building, no sign on the door, just some old twinkies mashed out in the parking lot.
When they stop touring we'll never hear from him again.

Axl has himself to blame though. To enforce his legal rights and end the old band in 1995 was a really stupid move. It was supposed to be an insurance for him, in case they broke up, instead he used it to usurp the whole band. Of course Slash was pissed off at that and used every opportunity to stick it to Axl afterwards.
