The media didn't start the jokes. Axl did by pulling this shit. Everyone other than GNR fans are laughing at us, year after year, and I'm over it.

Waking the Dead is perhaps L.A. Guns' best. They have gotten better, and the real L.A. Guns is the band with Phil--period. L.A. Guns without Phil tanked. Tracii without Phil is tanking. Tracii without anyone big tanks. Just look at Brides of Destructions' second CD after Nikki Sixx left.

LAG is my favorite band, next to GNR. I've never seen em live unfortunately.

Polls conducted when so many candidates are out there, almost a year before the election don't mean squat. When it is one against the other, when they are debating, talking issues, it will be a different story. McCain might not even get the nod; Obama might not either. So, it's all hypothetical. Age should not be a qualification to be president, so why do you slight Obama because he's young?

As for Bush fucking it up. We had the whole world behind us in 91, and he most definitely had a bigger reason to eliminate Hussein than Bush Jr. did. If he actually did it, the world would be different right now.

And, no one's saying any candidate wants to get out of Iraq immediately. If they do, they are incompetent. I actually know Obama's stance on that. I'm willing to bet without google, no one can quote it.

Also, how has McCain really been tested as a leader. In his Senate years? How was Bush tested? As governor? What is this "test" you speak of. Does any "test" really prepare you for the presidency?

One thing about McCain though, he has a hot young wife!

BH has a small fanbase, and most of them don't give a shit about the GNR thing. They like what he did on the songs, but thats as far as the interest in GNR goes. Bri, who hangs in the BH community can likely vouch for this.

Most of the BH fans intensely dislike GNR, actually. There are a few of us who love both, but that's as far as it goes. They like his work on CD, as James said, but mostly don't like the songs themselves.

Also, BH and Brain will never be in GNR again. Just isn't gonna happen.

McCain would never win the presidency. He's too old and that would stop him. He'd be the oldest elected president ever. I have to say, though, I like him the best of the Republicans. He's a maverick and doesn't just agree with the party line because he's part of the party. But, if he runs on a platform that he'll continue the war, he'll be beaten like a drum. America doesn't want this war anymore, in Iraq that is. Bush doesn't have any firsthand war experience, either. A president doesn't have to have war experience, that's a fallacy. If you have the right people around you, that's what counts. Bush Sr. had war experience, and he fucked it all up over there.

I'm curious to know what's wrong with Obama? How has he not been electable. He was elected to Senate. He was elected to Illinois state rep a long time ago. He's actually got more lawmaking experience than Hillary.

He's against the Iraq war, wants more funding for education and health care and hasn't shown that he's willing to bend to lobbyists.

James, you say there is no Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan, well, that's true. They were one-of-a-kind presidents that just happened to come along in the same generation. Before Reagan, presidents all sucked back to as long as I can think of in my head right now. I think you give way too much power to the president. Congress really is where the changes in America are made, not in the Oval Office.

This is going to end with Britney killing herself, and I hope the media is proud after that happens. She's obviously very disturbed, and people just need to get her help, not on the front page of the news.

In my opinion there is absolutely no chance we've seen the last of GNR at this point.

I'm hoping you are right Russ.  Although I am skeptical as to the future of what will happen next (if anything at all) there is no doubt that I would love too see things get rolling again for Axl & Co.  No matter how much we realists see a strong potential for an unfavorable outcome with GNR, this doesn't mean we wouldn't like to see the opposite happen.  In the end we are all here for the same two reasons...the friends we have made in this community and because we all share a love for the music of one Axl Rose.

I agree with Russ, I do not believe this is it and GNR are never to be heard from again.   I do think that this year will bring something, even if it's just another tour.   I highly doubt that Axl/GNR would go in seclusion again for the entire year of 2008 and beyond, at the very least they will tour again.  Realist or not, I doubt we will see absolutely nadda from them for all of 2008.   Is there a slight possibility for absolute silence for the entire year of 2008 slight possibility but I really doubt it, CD is another story.

I'm glad you are optimistic. But didn't we say this for 2007. After the letter, we were all convinced we would hear something. Can you believe after he wrote it that a whole year elapsed?

The reason I say GNR is over, is because I have to believe that. I'm not going through the past years all over again. If something happens, it will be a bonus to me, but that "something" has to be CD, not a cash-grab tour.

At this point, if Axl is gonna go around playing Appetite, he should just get the old band back together. If he tours with the new guys, they better have new stuff to play.

Do we have to do this again? Buckethead. It's not really close. Whether Slash created it or not, Bucket's solo is just better in all facets.
