#2361 Re: Guns N' Roses » Howard Stern/Eddie Trunk on GNR » 760 weeks ago
I wonder if you'll see the day that Axl runs out Guns N' Roses with everybody you see now, but Sebastian Bach on lead, and calls it "GN'R" and then just rakes in the cash.
well rem - GnR have actually played w/out ANY AFD-era members on stage - when Axl hadda go off in london 06 & Baz filled in.
it's not w/o precedent.
#2362 Re: Guns N' Roses » So Back to normal or whatever? » 760 weeks ago
New music or fuck off.
I say that with all the love in my heart for the new band. I really like them, so let's DO SOMETHING with them. That's pretty much my opinion.
I've heard TEN YEARS of GN'R oldies by 8 different new band members added to GN'R.
ENOUGH. "Time to move on"
GREAT! Let's MOVE ON shall we. Make a new mark, dig a new hole, forge ahead and forget the past (within reason).
5 AFD/Lies songs, 5 UYI songs, 10 CD/New songs.
THAT is moving on!
mate if he's not gonna play new songs to 2000 diehards on the UC&P tour, he's not gonna play new stuff on the euro festival circuit to 200 diehards & 50,000 who are just there to see the freak show.
this yr's another write-off for new music.
maybe nxt yr lol!
#2363 Re: Guns N' Roses » RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements) » 760 weeks ago
I thought he brought up some pretty good questions and thoughts about what the Hall exactly is and what goes into it.
I do agree though, this is another case of Axl saying a lot without saying much at all.
do you also not have to question his motives for these two letters, specifically the timing of them?
like, why didn't he raise his objections & explain his non-attendance earlier? why wait til 3 days before & now after the fact?
i know it's mere speculation, but his timing, to me, was peculiar.
#2364 Re: Guns N' Roses » RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements) » 760 weeks ago
Way to let sleeping dogs lie...
Sometimes I feel like he's beatin a dead horse..
an I dunno why he keeps bringing me DOWN.
enough w/this attn whore shite.
the drama outweighs the output. another sad truth of this mess.
#2365 Re: Guns N' Roses » Sorum Issues RRHoF Statement » 760 weeks ago
I enjoy reading this kind of stuff.
well i don't.
it's the bullshit ramblings of an idiot.
i know what i'm talking about! i do it myself...
#2366 Re: Guns N' Roses » So Back to normal or whatever? » 760 weeks ago
They're popular enough around the world to do Europe again this summer so I don't have any issue with that either. As long as Guns N' Roses is doing something, I'm good. Would I like new music? OF COURSE! I'd love a new album from Guns N' Roses every week if possible. But if they're not releasing one any time soon, I'm good with that as long as they're doing something, which they are.
i do know where you're coming from on this.
i rem the darkness & do still feel that "it's good he's actually able to get out & do something, anything @ all"
BUT having said that, for me it's not good enough any longer. i know it sounds pretentious bs but how much artistic credibility does axl have left?
i certainly struggle to conjure any respect for his artistry these days. he doesn't seem capable of pushing himself, creating & performing to the standards i expect of him.
& for those reasons, i'm unable to justify spending more money on his band (money i don't actually have, btw, but when's that ever stopped me before?). i can't in good conscience plop down 70quid on the same tour i've seen since 2002. i actually find it egregious & insulting the manner he is conducting his touring.
i think he's betraying a lot of what made GnR unique.
& he is stifling the progression. he is. you can play the shadow boxing w/the record label or trade lawsuits w/azoff & slash, but there is no reason why that has to stifle his creativity. this blame game he plays masks the real reasons for his lack of output & freshness. i can't respect that.
i can't value that or the way he's conducting himself & GnR.
the behaviour exhibited just these past two yrs, or even this last yr w/the meet & greets & the subscription to the website, has led me to become disillusioned w/his leadership.
i know that's all emo & crying over spilled milk. but i once thought Axl had this way of transcending even his own bullshit. but w/o new direction, or any direction, to me he's simply floundering in his own shit creek.
#2367 Re: Guns N' Roses » So Back to normal or whatever? » 760 weeks ago
cause he definitely has to prove a point now, at this point
don't mean to cause offense, but this is some bs.
he has "had to prove" a point or 1000 before this latest debacle.
it is not "back to" anything (& certainly nothing near normal!)
things remain as they've always been - on axl time.
the rnrhof was just another blip. it wasn't a seismic shift in the make-up of GnR.
the net result of it is simply: anyone left daft or deluded enough to care or have thoughts of an AFD/UYI reunion should have finally be disabused of those wishes. it's only a few more people have joined the rest of us in reality.
it is closer to 'whatever'. what you're left w/is the same situation we've faced for over a decade: you place your fandom @ the feet of axl's truculent whimsy & wait/hope as best you can - or you say "fuck it/catch you later" - or you can be an asshole about it & post on the internet how axl ruined everything.
me? i like to do all 3.
but yea. this rnrhof shit hasn't altered the picture one bit for me. maybe it's clarified it somewhat for others. like walter sobchak some nutjobs have taken this as the excuse to "draw a line in the sand", but to me they just haven't been following the script from the past 20yrs.....
the more things change the more they stay the same w/axl.
#2368 Re: Guns N' Roses » Sorum Issues RRHoF Statement » 760 weeks ago
God almighty what is up w/these fucking letter-writing dicks?!
Was Matt's speech @ the ceremony not long enough?!
#2369 Re: Guns N' Roses » On Truth, The Man Who Wasn't There and Happy Endings » 760 weeks ago
strangely enough, i'm more tempted to go to the upcoming GnR Dublin show now than i was this time last week.
i'm thinking that just maybe there's enough fuel to axl's fire to do something different & maybe even new.
i doubt it tho. i don't think we'll see him turn this into a positive. i don't think we'll see added energy from the fallout of the RnRHoF incident, or new/different material in the setlist.
& @ the end of the day, i just can't afford the canoli's it'd take, on the small chance that i might somehow get a different GnR gig to the one's i've seen over the past 10yrs.
so yea. i'm prob stepping off the bandwagon until there's a new album.
this'll be the first GnR tour i've missed since Axl started touring again in 2002. but i just can't justify it these days. i'm hoping Axl would give me an excuse to go & get excited, but he hasn't & i've lost faith in anything new or exciting coming. so... that's where i am.
#2370 Re: Guns N' Roses » Juan (The YouTube/GNR Cover Guy) » 760 weeks ago
Juan is one of a few special guest vocalists I'm using in my forthcoming "Bugs Skully" band project. It's kinda my version of a Slash solo album. ie It's all songs I've written with my guitars, professional bass and drummers and a variety of guest vocalists.
Juan has been kind enough to sing a track for me already, and is working on a follow up....I hope to use him for more but he's a busy man so time will tell.
You guys could show a little more respect with the thread titles and stuff. He's got amazing pipes and a lot of talent.
thats p fkn cool MC
re: the thread titles - tbh i'd forgotten this thread was about Juan & thought it was a new Axl-related thread! i think that's kinda part of the joke of naming it so rather than to be a dick about juans size.
