#331 Re: Guns N' Roses » Happy 54th return, Ax / 52th for Duff. » 501 weeks ago
Happy Late Bday Duff! Happy Bday Axl!
I just noticed Axl has over 900,000 followers on Twitter. Duff is over 500,000. Slash is at 3.3 MILLION. Holy fuck.
Has a lot to do with activity.
Axl rarely posts and you can notice he is writing his posts. Slash posts often, there's a social media writing for him sometimes who adheres to trending topics, has an instagram account and a linked Facebook account... Its a different approach.

Example of unnecessary synth: intro blimp sounds on twat. Demo is better just because it lacks it
#333 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 501 weeks ago
Slash going to Axl's house in 2005 and basically admitting defeat on that ongoing war (their words, not mine) was, in my opinion, what fueled Axl to give 110% in 2006.
His confidence was up the roof, he was high on having the confirmation he needed, that he was on the right track (or so it seemed).
Even with leaks, pressure from everywhere and everyone to deliver the album he got out of hide and delivered strong performances, killer voice and then... All went to the same old, same old...
I do hope that Slash can fuel him again now.
To me the situations are similar and I don't know how it happened this time. But Axl's situation is similar. In 2005 he was down. And I do mean DOWN.
Between 2002 and 2005 he had delivered an album that was rejected. Producers said he only had two to three songs. Re-re-re-re-recordings. Band members leaving. Even his pal Tobias left. His big comeback ("Round 1") was a failed performance. His comeback tour was full of riots and controversy. The man was beaten.
Since 2012, at least, he has been phoning it in. Playing rich people weddings. Vegas residencies. Fat Elvis Axl's phase, one might say. Band members leave. Record company doesn't want to play ball to release CD left overs.
I do hope Slash can kick him some adrenaline like he did in 2005.
#334 Re: Guns N' Roses » Cidade de Mexico Concert on April 19th Announced » 501 weeks ago
I'm travelling from Brazil to Vegas to see them because it is the first concert and was marketed as such.
If they announce other concerts before it I'll be pissed and more than disappointed.
I don't know why they don't announce the whole tour just yet. It seems as the demand is not as high as they anticipated and they are announcing concerts as they are able to negotiate.

LAS VEGAS (January 19, 2016) – History will be made in April when Guns N’ Roses ? featuring the iconic lineup of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan ? regroup for the first time in 23 years on the T?Mobile Arena stage. After announcing that they will headline Coachella, the band has now confirmed the very first place the world can see their historical return will be on the Las Vegas Strip, where they will perform a two?night rock spectacular at the brand new T-Mobile Arena.

This is going to be an awesome event and not to be missed."
“What better city than Las Vegas – the Entertainment Capital of the World – to see Guns N’ Roses play together for the first time in 23 years,” said Dan Quinn, General Manager of T?Mobile Arena. “The T-Mobile Arena was designed to host iconic events such as this, and we will provide guests with an incredible experience as they enjoy this historic show.”

The marketing for Vegas mentioned it would be the first time the line up would take the stage together, so I doubt the contract allows them to book other concerts.
I would also be pissed beyond belief!
haha

Great news!! Right before the 2nd Coachella gig.
so basically Coachella has been losing its value at every passing announcement. Hope the Vegas shows keep their status as the band's first concerts.

a old style video akin to Yesterdays and the world is sold to GnR.
#340 Re: Guns N' Roses » Just say no to corporate cash grabs » 502 weeks ago
at the end of the day to me putting Axl and Slash together is putting one of the greatest guitarists of all time with one of the greatest vocalists of all time. That has to count for something!
It does count for a lot.
I've been against a reunion for a long time and once it was real, even without the prospect of new music on the horizon I jumped the gun and made myself go deep into debt to go see it in person.
What the article points to and what has been my point for a long time is that there's gotta be more to it than just a cash grab tour to make it worth it. And for it to be legit to the legacy, from a songwriting standpoint, Izzy needs to be involved.
That's what I took from it at least and that's what I, most than read, want.
