They are also likely to use their time in Ireland to rehearse songs for an anticipated follow-up to their last album Chinese Democracy which took 13 years to complete. “The band like Ireland, they like playing here,” Desmond added. “I think he’s going to come back and deliver an 11 out of 10 show.”
BOOOOOOM

GREAT NEWS if true
still need to get my ticket for this. tho @ 70 clams my attendance is doubtful.
move rehearsals & practice to Ireland could be a beneficial move, away from distractions of LA.
if they wanted tho, i could hook them up w/some distractions once they get over here.... anyone got fernando's mob#??

the problem isn't the fans, it's the confused vision of what GnR is meant to be that is the issue. how can people get behind something that doesn't even know what it wants to be, to present, other than the generic "kick-ass rock show" nonsense.
it WAS weird seeing BH & Finck dressed as a transvestite robot playing classic classic rock while it WOULD BE weird seeing Ron & DJ play the esoteric avant-rock of CD if Axl could manage to sing along - & it's WEIRD seeing DJ ape a whole host of cliche's already associated w/GnR's most beloved guitarist.
i do agree it's hard to find a solution to satisfy everyone - Finck did wreck the classic solo's while BH didn't need to do his breakdancing at a GnR gig/ DJ doesn't need to do the cigarette thing etc. Ron doesn't have the tone or play loudly enough.
all this could be put to bed if Axl could make a decision & stick to it. within a reasonable timeframe, of course.
but he seems happy in this touring timefreeze. until it comes crashing down & he wakens to find a 50yr old avuncular tubby guy reflecting in the mirror.

is it? what of the stones & sympathy/gimme shelter or the beatles/white album or the who, zeppelin, pink floyd.
i could make a convincing case against all your examples fulfilling their potential. the thing w/Axl especially is he threatened something new & maybe different, but he's only delivered on that in fits & starts.
i believe The Stooges comparison is most appropriate - Aerosmith & The Doors didn't really have much to say after theiy'd said their piece & LA Woman, while Duane always had a life waiting him plundering the blues. but like The pyschedelic Stooges, Axl & GnR bring some kinda freshness to their regurgitated rock n roll. but it is a self-sabotage that as derailed their full crossover potential. i mean i do agree w you it does happen to a lot of bands, just not that many who grasped ever-lasting success on the scale of GnR while they fell downwards...

re: madagas - i was gonna say "comparatively speaking yada yada yada axl has released an [extremely small catalog]"
but i kinda chickened out cause people would say, "well axl's unique & sensitive etc...."
but seriously, at this stage, axl's behaviour calls into question Gnr's position at the top table of american rock.
(fwiw i will always believe gnr belong at the pinnacle of rock music, whatever nationality/culture it aspires from - i'm just saying in other persons eyes i can understand why GnR would be undeserving of such prominence due to their degenerate mismanagement & unfulfilled potential..........

tbcfh, the maelstrom re: music & internet imo is a defining feature of our modern era & culture. the world is changing & this particular scenario is merely one example - or even paradigm - where a revolution is taking place.
we must not let it slip through our grasp. a chance of genuine revolution comes along at the very most once per generation.
fundamentally our evolution is at stake.
piracy is not the same as stealing.
sharing is not the same as coveting or greed. information is God.
