lulz, that quote sums it all up for Posers N' Roses.
See that's the thing I have never understood. Ron or Tommy or even Richard have never tried to spin us shit about something that clearly isn't true.
I know Axls a dick and a lose cannon for turning up on time. He's a complete and utter tosser for it, but that said I'm not about to blame Ron et al for going on stage late. I can see what's going on. With that in mind why does DJ feel he needs to justify in some BS way as to why they are late and there's production issues etc. Please the band is ready, it's the old cunt that's not!

There is some real comedy in that article:
"Axl is in a position where he doesn't have to be cool with the band but he treats us like gold.
"He lets us write our own solos and gives everybody their time to shine on stage and I think that says a lot about who he is.
He just wants to have a bloody break in between songs if you ask me.
"He has no problem sharing the spotlight, in fact he quite likes it - otherwise he'd be doing this interview and not me."
Haha he lets them do the shit he doesn't want or like doing.
Ashba insists the delays have been caused by production issues rather than arrogance on behalf of Rose, explaining a team of 100 people is co-ordinating the show from backstage.
"We have a huge rig and pyrotechnics so often it's the case of fitting all that into the venue. Our number one priority is to make the shows safe."
Please can we stop with the excuses. Axl is the reason for the majority of the lateness, don't try and serve us this other shit.
What, have GNR just managed to hire the most incompetent road crew night after night year after year. Maybe every other band in the world has taken all the good workers and that's why they can deliver their shows on time, whilst GNR just have what's left, a bunch of numptys working for them?
Please don't insult my intelligence or your own road crew for that matter.

I watched the first part and there was a couple of GN'R mentions, although it sounds like they had quite a few questions but ran out of time (even tho the podcast goes for an hour), so they are doing a follow up podcast to focus on his time with GN'R and Great White etc. I'll try and post that whenever I notice it's done.

Hey Monkey, Metallex and Gibbo, did you see there is a presale on Monday?
#436 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns n´Roses Australian tour officially confirmed » 660 weeks ago
Cool so it's Rose Tattoo that has replaced The Angels.
Bring on the "Nice Boys" duet with Angry Anderson. Deja Vu to the 2007 Aussie tour!!!

Looks like I have caved into peer pressure and will attend the Perth show. Big group of mates want to go and EXPECT the crazy GNR fan (me) to go, so l'm in.
Gotta say I've been in 2 minds whether to share more of my hard earned with what they are offering (yet again) since I've seen them 3 times in 2007 and again in 2010. It will be a good night out with friends even if it is essentially the same show I've seen so "I'm in"!
Sorry Monkey and Metallex, I travelled to Melbourne in 2007 to catch 2 extra shows but won't be doing it this time!! Maybe the next Slash gig we can hook up again 
#438 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty » 660 weeks ago
Me personally I don't really care what he looks like, as long as it doesn't affect his vocals. That said I can't understand how you could not at some point reach a level of unfitness (not saying Axl is there yet) where it affects your singing & performance ability negatively.
Now just because he can wear what he wants doesn't mean I don't have an opinion on his look. So FWIW my opinion is:
Lose the fucken fedora hat, the deviate moustache and the bloody scarff. I don't give a fuck if he's going bald and therefore has to cut his hair. We're all getting older, that's ok. Shit my hair is thinning at 38. Personally to me he looks badass with jeans, t-shirt and a bandanna.
#439 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty » 660 weeks ago
So I called my wife over to check out the vid on the first page of this thread and she goes "who's that". I say "It's Axl" she goes "he looks friggin aweful, he looks like he's been bitten by a bee".

They've sent out a questionnaire to people, I can't be bothered to fill it in. I get the sense this is one big market research ploy. If it leads to more stuff getting released, fair enough, but the site itself doesn't seem interesting at all.
Yeah I got that questionnaire too. Honestly they can either let me sign up or fuck off, I'm not jumping through hoops like a dog filling in surveys or writing essays. GNR have no credits in their online profile bank account as far as I'm concerned so they are in no position to try and make me do shit just to sign up. A band like Metallica that have a track record of doing cool shit for fan club members and other shit online, I would jump through hoops. GNR - hmmm well....
This is the email they sent:
We hear ya knockin’
And we are keen to get you into the Guns N’ Roses community - ParadiseCity.com!
As you may have picked up from our twitter @ParadiseCityBP, we’ve been testing out the basic functions on the platform with a relatively small and limited group.
Over the next 10 or so days we’ll be looking to open up more invites to roll out some new features and execute some technical and stress tests. After all, if there’s one thing the world has come to learn the hard way, GN’R fans can easily bring a system to its na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, knees. This means we’ll be looking to open up another 1,000 invites. That’s the good news. The “not so good” news is we have over 100,000 who have come to the ParadiseCity.com looking to play.
Sooooooooooo, to help us bring ParadiseCity.com to life and try to get more people faster, we’ve set up a survey to help us get to know you better and how you can help us with this next stage.
We are hoping to get through this phase before the end of February and open up the community to all who have requested invites soon thereafter!
NOW, if you feel you are ready to have us bring you down to the Paradise City, please take a few minutes to complete the survey here at this link.
Thanks,
ParadiseCity.com
