Metallica's so much bigger today. James Hetfield won't open for Richard Fortus and Frank Ferrer. A reunited GN'R (which is not an option for years) could do a rotated headliner tour. Today's GN'R...not.

That was in Montreal. Axl cut the show short during the 3rd song which was LALD.
They played a bit longer set than 3 songs, but Axl fucked it up, without a doubt. I don't think the Metallica guys will tour with him, unless he signes papers with major fines in case of no-show ups, late shows and other fuck-ups.
08.08.92 - Stade Du Parc Olympique, Montreal, Canada
opening act: Faith No More
set: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Attitude, Nightrain, Perfect Crime, Bad Obsession, Double Talkin' Jive, Civil War
attendance: 53,000
audio/video recording?: audio, video [incomplete]
notes: This show is marred by the second riot on the UYI tour. During Metallica's set, James Hetfield suffers 3rd degree burns by walking into pyrotechnics, forcing Metallica to cut their set short. During GN'R's set, Axl mentions that 'Perfect Crime' is the theme song for a movie that the band has been planning about the UYU tour. Before 'Double Talkin' Jive,' Axl says that this will be “our last show for a long fucking time.” At the end of 'Civil War,' Axl says “Thanks you, your money will be refunded, we're outta here.” An announcer comes onstage and tells the crowd that the show is over

Another thing that adds to the "buzzkill" you describe is the fact this album didn't resonate with many people outside the hardcore base. None of these forums saw a noticeable increase in new fans. I think the communities are adjusting to the fact that not only were we the 'last line of defense', we're pretty much all there is that has any real interest in new GNR and/or any future projects.
Very good point, James. Before the album came out, everybody expected that the forums would be flood with new fans. Where are they? It seems like either the new Chinese Democracy GN'R fans don't have an internet access, or they just do not exist.
Edit: and this can easily lead to a Libertad-cathegory flop next time. No new fans and a lot of old fans won't give another chance since either they're disappointed or the curiosity factor faded away.

#2226 Re: Guns N' Roses » Is CD still in regular rotation on your stereo? » 929 weeks ago
I can't listen the whole album. I tried, I gave up. CD has no flow to get me through the weaker tracks, like I can listen through AFD without skipping Out Ta Get Me, Think About You and Anything Goes. To tell the truth, I listened 3 or 4 songs off the album this year, once or maybe twice. The album is not entertaining enough for me, I don't remember that I've ever got bored of an anticipated album this early. Of course, the leaks are playing their major part in this, but even when they came out, I didn't play the 'demos' over and over again for weeks or months.
#2227 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR go Gold » 929 weeks ago
As for the song One by U2 I honestly feel it's my generations Imagine. Not nearly as popular but still. I don't think anyone in the last 30 years has written a song like One. The type of song that truely breaks down all barriers. Race, religion, sexual prefrence, where you're from, male or female, young or old. It's one of the all time greatest songs ever.
Good point, Bono, although I think Sting's Fragile is in the same place.

Surprisingly, for some uknown reason, CD went up to the 6th place on the Hungarian chart from the 23rd position.
#2229 Re: The Sunset Strip » Aerosmith new cd.. » 930 weeks ago
I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing was the bigges sell-out in Aerosmith's history. I hate that song, along with Pink and Jaded. I love the Bobo album, that'd be the right direction. Simple, pure, energetic rock 'n' roll.

Rid of both.
