Weren't you a Polish method actress?

DCK,
I am Stuart Bailey. It is well-documented in GNR Evolution.
As you can see.

Nice one, insulting an old friend.
Well, you just got here. 'Old friend's a bit pushing it, eh?
Oh, and if you're saying you're an old friend of Axl's, you should know being Del James or Fernando Lebeis doesn't mean squat on this board.

2006/07 tour went well
True.
now the albums out
True.
another world tour lined up
True.
another album that should be ready to drop next year imo.
Don't push it.
Cheer up
If the tour starts going well, with positive reports and nice concert videos popping up, there's a reason to feel good about GNR.
So far, they've made it a bit difficult to even anticipate a tour. While not trying to be negative about the fact that they are touring in the first place, I would've been more excited on the get-go if it'd be November 2008 as we speak.
#1795 Re: The Sunset Strip » Missile throw ends Morrissey show » 827 weeks ago
I've been quite lucky when going to concerts during my lifetime as of now.
The only thing that I can contribute with is that I remember when I saw GN'R for the fourth time during my "Eurotrip", in Finland to be exact, back in 2006 when someone threw a large piece of fake fur on the stage right onto Axl.
What did he do? He picked it up, went to the microphone and while laughing said:
"I'm going to burn this little motherfucker on the pyro!"
On the second show.
On the first, we threw him a bandana, as he was obviously lacking one. 
Axl was immediately in on the joke, 'though he didn't wear it. He snatches it mid-air and put it around his arm.

Thank you.
Now, get that website shtick sorted or pull the plug on it. I can't see the benefit the evils at MLB get for keeping it hostage. Fact is, GNR.com is still touted as the official website - if it's an MLB hoax, deal with it.
Don't ask for compliments for handling the bare essentials.

Oh yeah I know. I'll bet he was
. Just another ridiculously lame excuse that was so obviously FAKE yet so many nutswingers took it as the word of god himself.
Never in my life have I heard of such a thing. The performer in question wasn't even in the country he was performing in as the doors to the venue were supposed to open and people actually bought that excuse that he was on his way
The backing band was in the country the day before, so I don't see why he wouldn't have been on his way.
However, the amazing thing is that, given the times the GNR reps gave for Axl's flight times, he would've been leaving for British Columbia at the last humanly possible minute to begin with.
This is something I find funny for some people to comprehend. Even if he would've been there with a flight more or less on schedule, I seriously doubt he would've jumped on stage the minute he would've arrived to the arena, even moreso after a nearly three-hour flight!
#1798 Re: The Sunset Strip » Missile throw ends Morrissey show » 827 weeks ago
yeah someone threw a beer @ Phil Anselmo when i saw Pantera in Detroit in 2001..he told the guys in the crowd to beat the fuck out of him...and they did
Not very smart from Anselmo.
Throwing things at performers. Not cool.
Instigating bodily harm. Even less cool.
Two wrongs don't make a right, and Anselmo was very, very careless when asking for something like that.
#1799 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR.com on Strikeout as MLB Goes on Strike » 827 weeks ago
If Mysteron has half a brain, he realizes this piece of 'news' will eventually be picked up by various parties outside the HTGTH/GNR online community. That creates a similar snowball as Fernando's comments on Ulrich holding back the Better video. Ulrich's response came around, eventually, with him claiming he does indeed appear in the would-be promo and had already signed a clause for an appearance. Fernando was owned, but the bad publicity continues to haunt GNR.
This case is no different. Whatever the truth, the press will love the idea of Axl being sequestered out of his own website by the supposed evils at MLB. Mysteron can hardly be called out, since he wasn't the official spokesperson to begin with. This reeks more like a bit of a jab, with the punch-line being the ever-familiar Axl stance: "It's not my fault... It's not my fault..."

We've all noticed the lack of updates on GNR.com ever since the recruitment of DJ Ashba. With the Japanese dates coming up and the Canadian ones scheduled, one would expect the band to actually get off their asses and update the official website with the usual fluff-talk about how it's going to be great, et al. The effort is mostly symbolic; that way people would know that the band acknowledges the dates and is committed to them. Last month, Mysteron seemed to agree with me on this back at HTGTH:
It is important though that the band add credence by putting these dates on their official website. An official announcement would be even better.
So far, we're on the same page. However, yesterday, Mysteron, a beloved 'insider' at the HTGTH community, went completely around and posted the following:
I want to apologize to GN'R for my comments. MLB currently own the rights to, and control input to, the official GN'R website. However ...dot dot dot Hopefully Guns can find another official way to communicate with the fans in the meantime.
Uh-oh.
Talk about a Fernando moment in joint of the Better video.
MLB.com and former GNR manager Merck Mercuriadis came into an agreement of sorts in 2006 regarding the online shoppe features of GNR.com. While the domain listings maintain the ownership of GNR.com is solely in the hands of our man Axl, technical and administrative contacts direct one solely to MLB.com staff. Go figure.
MLB.com have apparently stepped back of providing content around the Japanese dates of the 2007 tour. Before this, most (if not all) articles on the GNR site were written by their local Senior Writer Doug Miller, who currently continues to write for MLB.com. However, the website managed to be updated semi-regularly up to the recruitment of DJ Ashba, with or without MLB.com's direct consent.
So, bummer. The CD release came and went and no-one at MLB had a problem with the content. It's only a year after that GNR, having clandestinely sneaked in numerous updates, have finally reached the end of their rope.
I do hope Guns find another official way to communicate with the fans. GNR Online was an Interscope-manned site, who must've forgotten the password somewhere in early 2003, before transforming it more into the line of their generic band websites.
The only dangerous thing about the modern GNR is their dangerously sloppy management.
