Bumblefoot Comments On Guns N' Roses Tour Rumors
Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal has commented on the rumored Asian concert dates. He's posted the following statement on his forum:
Hundreds of people have been writing, wanting to know about GNR's future touring plans. I'm not the guy to ask about ongoing bizz - if anyone, you'd have to ask GNR management about future plans, but please understand that if they haven't officially announced plans, they're not going to do it through personal emails. As for me, I'm not at business meetings with booking agents, promoters, venues, sponsors, and *I don't want to be*. Being the guitarist in GNR is enough, not going to open the door to managerial duties. If GNR management confirmed that everything did-or-did-not work out to make any shows happen, and I was 100% sure that I had the confirmed final developments on things, and if it wouldn't screw up how GNR wanted to announce things, only then would I comment. Anything sooner than that would be spreading information prematurely and could be setting up fans for disappointment, and could affect the outcome of deals that were still being worked on. When GNR management is able to confirm anything, they will do it, in the way they feel is best, when they feel the time is right. Until then, think about other things. Build a cardhouse. Fry an egg. Read a book by a tree. When GNR management is ready to announce accurate definite information, they will.
Thanks to everyone that reached out wanting to know. You've been a pain in my ass, and I love you for it. Out of decency to fans, knowing many are ready to rearrange their plans and put a lot of effort into being at shows, I hope any confirmations can come sooner than later... some of you have plane tickets to book, time off from work to plan, tickets to save up for - I appreciate the Hell out of it and am grateful for it and will do my best to make it worth it, given the chance. Thanks.....
Ron

I think BBF's arguments are ridiculous, as is the message towards "the fans". Not that I really care about whether GnR will or will not tour, but from a purely theoretical point of view, the band - NOT the management - should be the first one to know if/when they tour! Management is HIRED by the band, or by whatever other entity (record company, etc) to SERVE the band. So obvisouly reaching to the members of the band for questions is perfectly normal! THEY're the ones touring, not the fucking management.
Obivously the BAND decides whether they want to tour or not and THEN the management takes care of the details, not the other way around. It's not like GnR's management can say, "Ok Axl, time for you to tour", then Axl or Ron or whomever says, "Oh come on! I don't want to yet! Give me another month to chill" to which management replies "But you MUST tour NOW!", to which the band says "Ok (dad)".
Ron is describing the entire process as though he knows nothing about it, doesn't care about it or can't say anything because he'll "ruin" the plans! WHAT/WHOSE plans? The band's plans? The management's plans? Isn't he supposed to be part OF THE BAND? So by talking he'd basically be ruining his OWN plans - is that it? This is garbage. No real band member could possibly not give a shit about what his band is doing - at that point of time he's not really a band member, but rather an "employee" of a band (i.e. hired hand).
I'm a musician myself, and to go and tell people or "fans" that my band or my plans are made by "management" would be complete and utter bullshit. Like I said, management is hired by the band to serve them one way or another. They don't DECIDE for the band.
9/17/2009 | 4:01:24 PM by Bibanul
I can't get over this... what a fucking corporation... "GnR" and "GnR management" - he sounds like he's talking about P&G Central and P&G Balkans. Great disclosure... I wonder if the term "transparency" exists for these people.
9/17/2009 | 4:36:26 PM by dsadsad
What a fuckin asshole is this guy? He dont bored to giving interviews without a point?
Get lost!
9/17/2009 | 5:00:10 PM by PROTEST!!!

9/17/2009 | 5:07:49 PM by ERIC!
aaaaand here we go...
Again we have a big sandwich of CRAP AND BULLSHIT!
So, Japan is not official... so we have to waiy to the crappy GNR Home Page.
PROTEST- You are so damn right
9/17/2009 | 6:16:28 PM by Pablo
Hate to say it, but: I TOLD YOU SO!
I just believe it when I see them live, on stage or on youtube, or whatever!
Even if I buy the tickets for any upcoming concert, people should know better, this is GNR.
Anything could happen! Or not happen!
I just believe it when I see it!
PEACE!
9/17/2009 | 6:22:56 PM by gnr4ever
For those that are mad at Ron.... did you just start following Guns? Ron ain't the man to announce a tour!!
If you are surprised at Ron's answer then you clearly aren't that big of a fan.
It's not his position to confirm or deny a tour.... he will be ripping the fuck out of Shackler's in 2 months... that's his job.
Ron if you're reading this... you kick ass man, we are excited to have ya in the band!!
Now get back to Canada and show us how are anthem rocks Hendrix style!!!
9/17/2009 | 6:45:36 PM by Maru
I agree with gnr4ever !!!!!
Ron you are a nice guy : ))) luv yaaaaaaa
9/17/2009 | 7:34:14 PM by SWOC
gnr4ever is right, I agreed with him this time. Ron is a musician not a man from GnR management.
On the other hand, it's strange situation' cause before European and World Tour, even if not-official-information appeard we hadn't any statement from NuGnR camp like Ron's. Maybe, it's better for Fans that there is someone like him who comments all things in connection with NuGnR' cause one Motherfucker wanna be so cool and just fuckin' around. Fuck you psycho!!! Good job Ron!!!
9/17/2009 | 7:34:21 PM by Its Me
What a bunch of cry babies on this site
Seriously, how stupid can you possibly me? You hate GNR, then leave. Doesn't it bother you to be so low and lifeless that you idiots just rant on this site a hundred times a day, every day?
Get a life....you'll die very soon before you know it and then what? You'll be shouting from hell?
9/17/2009 | 7:36:42 PM by Slane92
Some of the long time posters will remember Gomer Pyle......
For those of you that dont let me briefly explain......
Gomer Pyle was one funny ass dude who posted on this site quiet a bit,(before Chinese Democracys release) The main thrust of his posts regarded Chinese Democracy and his absoloute conviction that...
(a) It didnt exist and...
(b) even if it did exist it would never see the light of day
As you are all aware by now Chinese Democracy does indeed exist and is in my own humble opinion superb.
But Gomer was certain that it was a myth and it is a great shame that he no longer posts on here anymore, but to his credit he did post an acknowledgement of his mis judgement after November 23 rd last year, lol
The point of this post is simple and it leads in nicely with what Ron says.... i.e. chill out things will happen in time....
Now to get my book and and find a nice tree...... :-)
9/17/2009 | 8:22:00 PM by AxlGnrFans1974
Axl and Co. please tell us something asap. Meanwhile we will be listening to CD and also the latest Megadeth album , which is cool !! We Have to admit it, Megadeth know how to rock again, not yet Youthanasia, but close.......now Guns N Roses please tour and release the second album in the Chinese Democracy albums.
Good weekend all the fans, semi-fans, haters and people with nothing else to do. Fun n'games is all it is. Now we will fry an egg !! ;- )
9/17/2009 | 8:22:44 PM by Me
If you love something or are passionate about something, can you not understand why, if that thing goes away for reasons unknown or that don't make sense, that some people will lash out? Especially after almost 2 decades of little activity.
No one here can declare 1 song release, 1 album release and 3 tours in various degrees of completion as being active in an 18 year time span, can they?
That's what is saddening. Obviously we love the music and the band. if we didn't we wouldn't be here. We love the band and music so much DESPITE the lack of activity. No should question anyone’s loyalty to this band because we are all still here.
Some people can tolerate the wait and other can't or get upset by the wait. It's been 18 years man with only 1 album release, gives a break, let us get upset and vent. We do it because we love GN'R and Axl and his music. If we didn't we would have really given up on this band years and years ago. Wouldn't we ALL like GN'R to be as 'publically productive' as, say Metallica? They've released albums, video, tours, a movie and on and on. That's how i want GN'R to be......productive. Do what bands do. Write, record, release and tour. I think a GN'R documentary would be absolutely brilliant and riveting. To get a real glimpse into that world would be fascinating.
But please, don't ever question my loyalty to this band because they piss me off and I vent about it. If I DIDN'T care I WOULDN'T vent.

"You have to ask the management"
Yeah Ron right...
Like they would answer.
Besides that, there IS NO GNR management.
Manage/ to manage:
To take care of things/ to get things done.
But it must be some kind of behind the screens masterplan huh?
We're talking about a band here people, not area 51.
No news, no videos, no interviews with any decent answers, no tour: no band.
But I have to admit I was enjoying the "believers" who went: "WTF??????" again.
And that's sad, cause I went into Guns for the music and their approach to life: full head on with their own view: "Take it or get hit by it!"
I think it's time we all start preparing for the news people: any day now GNR will be pronounced as over.
I'm not waiting for that at all, there's just two eyes and a brain in this skull...
9/17/2009 | 9:03:47 PM by AxlGnrFans1974
Irving Azoff you manage both GnR and Megadeth, so get them on the road please !! Now !!!
9/17/2009 | 9:05:35 PM by Its Me
Wait, did "art" talk about management?
You mean the same fool who has the ugliest site on the face of the Internet?
Wow...my oh my
9/17/2009 | 9:44:02 PM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
Its me:
I'm actually the only one who uses a traceable name here.
But never mind, without chicken like you who only blurt out shit every once in a while the world would be too perfect.
Don't expect me to go for the Prozac now that you tried to insult me. You FAILED.
But you're used to reading that I'm 100% sure of that.
Some rectumblister said he was gonna book a flight to Holland a few weeks ago, still waiting. For you the invitation is there too if you need the beef.
But don't go "threatmaking son of a bitch" on my ass cause all you (and you KNOW who I mean) ask for this shit yourselves.
Come to Holland, coffee's on the house, the straw to being able to gulf it down too.

[i]... they will do it, in the way they feel is best, when they feel the time is right. Until then, think about other things. Build a cardhouse. Fry an egg. Read a book by a tree. When GNR management is ready to announce accurate definite information, they will.[/i]
Exactly. Wait and see and get on with your life.

Just like China cero democracy in Gn'R for the part involved,, just the great emperor Axl.. that aint a band is just him and his employees.
Cheers.
9/18/2009 | 12:36:55 AM by Brandon
Irving Azoff is a friggin idiot, who can't manage his own ass correctly, let alone GnR, Megadeth, Ticketmaster or what-have-you. He does nothing but rip music fans off by shelling out the best seats to shows to ticket brokers, who then charge you, the fan, 1,000 or more per seat.
As far as his "band management" skills? Ummm.......he does claim to manage GnR, right? Yup. He managed the release of the disc and everything else awesomely didn't he?
9/18/2009 | 12:44:36 AM by Picolo
Im asking for 12312456 time gnrdaily,IS SO DIFFICULT TO CONTACT WITH GNR MANAGEMENT AND ASK WHATS THE PLANS OF THE BAND FOR TOUR????
Why dont you do something to learn some NEWS?
9/18/2009 | 1:32:46 AM by Lana
Big fucken WHOOP WHOOP for us suckers falling for the same shit ONCE MORE!!!
At the same time i dont understand why people are pissed at Axl, he didnt come up and say there will be a tour and then taken it back...its some fucken randome dude that decided to say it...well Axl never really said anything in the last year...I just find it fucken amusing that Ron is answering all the questions..poor bastard didnt know what he got himself into when he signed up to be part of GNR!!!ohhh fucken hell next album should be called Circus for suckers!!!!!!!
9/18/2009 | 1:36:45 AM by dasfd
No next album must called "To hell and back again cause we are GnFr"
9/18/2009 | 1:47:50 AM by celentano
The next concert I would like to go to is a "GNR MANAGEMENT" gig! They seem to know everything better than the band itself. I wonder if they can play too, so AXL won't have to worry about getting on stage and singing. Just collect the paychecks.
This band is already a joke. However, I still love the music.
9/18/2009 | 2:59:28 AM by AxlGnrFans1974
To 9/18/2009 | 12:36:55 AM by Brandon,
When you're right, you're right. Thanks !.
We are still fans of Axl and Co. but no counter comment on your words their about A-hole Azoff.
To all Fans, Haters, semi-fans, Guns-band members in the words of the late Edward R. Murrow (an early truely rock 'n 'Roll man): Good Night, and Good Luck...........
9/18/2009 | 4:03:23 AM by Aussie Scott
Nice post Slane92.
Yep that Gomer Pyle sure was (And still is) one funny/interesting dude - with posts like "I just took a huge shit" and "I like big tits". ???
I have to agree with Brandon for a change - even I can manage my own arse correctly :)
Now i'm off to scramble some eggs...
9/18/2009 | 9:25:39 AM by gnr4ever
It's funny how you guys get mad at Guns for lack of info! Where's the new VR singer? When are they touring? I mean you guys know they are touring so what's the problem? They will give you enough notice so you won't miss out on tickets! Axl likes November for some reason so most likely some New York dates followed by India, Japan etc... Then X-mas break for a few weeks, Rock out on New Years in Vegas or London, somethin like that. Followed by U.K dates then roll right into U.S.A Super-bowl halftime, Letterman, SNL etc.".BOOM" North American Tour...
Wow, I love good weed!! To some on here that seems unbelievable! To the rest.... it's why we come on here...waiting to get the info. I's not a matter if...it's when!!!
Right on...
Oh and the video I bet is Shacklers.... followed by better. Just a guess, but Ashba will be a cool fit. Can't wait! The best team live I'm guessing! Only time will tell.
9/18/2009 | 10:41:39 AM by Picolo
VR done dude,why you think slash decided to do a solo album,cause VR 2 years now ....searching for a new frontman?
The only way to save gnr is reunion,otherwise we have a coverband that plays gnr songs.
9/18/2009 | 12:57:38 PM by SWOC
"The only way to save gnr is reunion..." I agreed, but there is only 1% of chance to do so. No rumours that old-gunners met Axl even on a street and say - hello, how are you. Reunion is just a dream... LOL
VR is done for sure...
9/18/2009 | 12:59:33 PM by Sawbones
I had the opportunity to hang with Ron, Chris, Dizzy, and Frank back in '06 after a show. What a great bunch of guys. Don't blame them for being "hired hands". The fact is, they've been 'hired' to do a job and Axl is their boss. Even though we'd all love to see more stuff going on, Axl doesn't and never has operated that way. The fact that Axl is an absolute musical genius only makes me willing to wait, and wait, and wait, as long as I have to for an album, a tour, interview, whatever. It isn't how I want it to be...but really...what is?
9/18/2009 | 2:10:32 PM by Picolo
Im asking for 12312457 time gnrdaily,IS SO DIFFICULT TO CONTACT WITH GNR MANAGEMENT AND ASK WHATS THE PLANS OF THE BAND FOR TOUR????
Answer plz. Why dont you do that???
9/18/2009 | 2:56:27 PM by Aussie Scott
Picolo - Do it yourself Fuckwit, if your so desperate and it's so easy.
Hey gnr4ever - don't forget Australia in those plans mate, we might be far away but Axl is always welcome and appreciated here. I do hope that Axl has grand plans for his USA fans too though :)
9/18/2009 | 3:36:32 PM by Picolo
Aussie Scott
First you are a faggot and stupid,second you ask me to contact with gnr management? Loool
Then gnrdaily what is doing??? And yeah is easy to contact with a fucking management and ask to give you some fuckin infos...
Now you can get fuck!
9/18/2009 | 4:12:39 PM by chris "you"
@ gnr4ever: Really bad comparison w/ VR. VR put out a new album years ago and then proceeded to tour it. Why would they tour now? They have no new material out? or even a lead singer. Plus Fans have been updated as to what is going on (for example: Slash's solo album and Duff touring with Loaded):
Seriously I am not VR fan (although the 1st CD was pretty good) but VR did their thing. Freakin Axl releases an album after spending MILLIONS of someone else money and then proceeds to do nothing: and right now we MIGHT get a tour of Asia.
I hope you're right, I really do but I doubt Axl will do anything any different. These shows are softball sell outs for Axl. If things go well he might tour Europe again: The US IMO will not happen. Again I hope I am wrong
9/18/2009 | 4:55:06 PM by Me
yeah, the VR comparison makes no sense.
9/18/2009 | 5:02:10 PM by TWAT
f course there will be a reunion one day. People change, even Axl. Just because he feels so right now doesn't mean that he will feel as the rest of his life. At some point he will come to mature and stop playing the old Slash film in his head, it's only he who feels bad of it. No one else, if we disregard some frustrated fans. How many times haven't Axl say one thing and done another. Typically people in isolation to dwell and dwell on old shit.
I don't know what happened between Axl and Slash, but guess Axl feel betrayed and deceived.
People betray all the time. Especially those that you least of all desire to let you down, do it - sooner or later. And are you a person with great need for trust in other people then it will be difficult. But sometimes there is no choice. Either may be reduced requirements on other people or to live in bitterness. It's easy on paper, in real life damn difficult. Training delivers results The whole thing is really a question of maturity.
Subject Nu Guns, I'm sorry but I can't take the band seriously anymore.
9/18/2009 | 7:46:07 PM by gnr4ever
Ya the VR comparison was bad...mostly because they aren't even close to being in the same league as New Guns and because yes they are dead!!
My point was that you will hear info from reporters and media...not from the band it self. When the tour is in line we will know. No sense getting mad at your fav band is there?
As far as Axl touring years ago and supposidly wasting others money....you're wrong "CHRIS"
Axl toured years ago to help finance this album we love. Yes, Axl put his own money into finishing Chi Dem....PRETTY FUCKIN COOL IF YA ASK ME! Not many artists are willing to take risks like Axl for the integrity of their art!
Tour announcements will be very soon, my guess early next week. Oh and Aussie Scott....no doubt they will be i Australia again... I'd bet next summer/fall or who knows maybe following Japan... Right on,

"Being the guitarist in GNR is enough." - What the hell does that mean?
As best I can tell all you have to do to be a guitarist in GNR is play a small part on 14 songs over the course of 15 years and if you screw up your covered because there are six other guitarists on the same track. These guys just tip-toe around it. It's so damn obvious that they fear the wrath of Axl, so all the bandmates do is make innocuous statements to the press that convey nothing other than the fact that they are scared shitless of Axl.

How is this hard to understand? To the two above this..... IT IS AXL'S BAND!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE GREAT MUSICIANS BUT AGAIN...IT IS AXL'S BAND...... THEY AREN'T IN ANY POSITION TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT AXL'S BAND...... WHY IS THIS HARD???? THEY AREN'T SCARED, THEY AREN'T PUSSIES....THEY JUST CAN'T COMMENT ON SOMETHING THEY HAVE NO SAY IN....HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLE........
AGAIN...IT IS AXL'S BAND..... YOU DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN OF COMMANDS ON ANY TEAM....AXL WILL RELEASE INFO OR MANAGEMENT...... THERE ARE TOO MANY IN THE BAND TO LET TALK FREELY ABOUT TOUR PLANS....IF SO, PEOPLE LIKE YOU WOULD BE JUMPING ON EVERYTHING THEY SAY..... THEY AREN'T AFRAID OF AXL.....STOP SPREADING LIES AND FUELING THE BULLSHIT FIRE!!!!!!
9/18/2009 | 8:52:59 PM by gnr4ever
Oh and Pocolo.... ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It was a guess.... that next week more tour dates will drop..... you just fall of the turnip truck fuckhead?
This is the first and only time I will waste my time with you...... now FUCK OFF!!! By that I mean leave the site and don't come back.... I have no say but hopefully you get the hint that you ain't welcome here..... you seem to be just like 2012 or somethin like that..... anyhow.. good bye!!!!!!!

9/18/2009 | 9:00:34 PM by JD
Listen man. We aren't talking about the blue print to the Atomic Bomb. It's just rock n roll.
Axl's info, even when he does release it, is about as reliable as the rumors, as best I can tell. I'm still holding my breath on the release of the "Better" video.
Honestly, how difficult is it to play some music, get fucked-up, bang some hot chicks and travel around the world? It ain't national security we're talking. Just rock n' roll baby...just rock n' roll.
9/18/2009 | 9:02:37 PM by gnr4ever
No just my patience with morons like yourself! It blows my mind to see that guys like you can talk all kinds of shit about this band and feel that you aren't talking about real people and real lives.
You really are a TWAT!!!!

The knights of the keyboard.
"don't like what I say? : fuck off!"
You don't like someone else's post? they "have to fuck off!"
Anybody got a different view on things? "They have to leave this site!"
Can't we all just like, get along?
9/18/2009 | 9:30:44 PM by Picolo
Somebody to answer the simple question.
Why gnrdaily dont contact with gnr management to ask whats the gnr planos for tour???
WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOSE GOD DAMN???
WHY YOU SEAT HERE AND DONT JUST DOING SOMETHING TO HEAR SOME REAL NEWS???
I will asking every time the same thing ,when gnrdaily give me an answer then i will stop.
gnr4ever get lost idiot fanboy

gnr4ever
Yes, it's a band and I say my opinion. And I won't shut up because you need it. I criticize and pay tribute to my favorite band how much I want. How often I want.
One thing you should have damn well for you. Never say what to think. Have your opinions, arguing happy. But the determination not what others think. You're not a fucking dictator here.
Is aware that it can't be easy being a public figure when all have different opinions without really knowing anything. Just as people have opinions about me for things I have said, done and not done, etc. This is exactly the same thing settled in a smaller format.
I say my opinions, not that's the truth. But how it seems to me. Don't you like it. So close your damn eyes.
9/18/2009 | 9:31:51 PM by Slane92
I have to say that I liked the first rumour of GnR playing in Taiwan,
That would be a definite Axl idea dont you think?
Axl Starts a Chinese Democracy tour in one of the few places still left on this planet that will still stick up two fingers at the Chinese Monster,
If Axl was a country he would be Taiwan!!!
9/18/2009 | 9:45:15 PM by Me
Gnr4ever you need a reality check with the assistance of professional help. Seriously dude, get a grip. Axl wouldn't piss on your head if it was on fire so i don't understand why you take GN'R criticisms so personally. You do not dictate in here so just stop trying. There’s clearly no rationalizing with you so do yourself a favour and speak to a head doctor before the voices in your head get too loud.
9/18/2009 | 10:16:14 PM by gnr4ever
YES YES HATERS!!! I'm the crazy one on here!!! Too funny.... so lets get this straight...you guys hate the band members....hate Axl,,,,,don't like the album.... don't think they were going to Tour....didn't think the album was coming out.....blah blah blah...etc...etc.... YET YOU STILL COME BACK DAY IN AND DAY OUT.....PATHETIC!!!!
I know there's no changing your opinion... I don't want too..... I find you guys amusing and sad!!!
YOU HATERS WILL BE LINING UP FOR TICKETS....THAT'S THE FUNNY PART.....
Oh and for you that get offended at me saying haters.... you just shown yourself as a HATER!!!!!
9/18/2009 | 10:35:00 PM by TWAT
We will return to this site because of you. You are more entertaining than Nu Guns. So much crap you produce is admirable.
The sad part is, things are not going in your head.
Yes, I'm one of those who would line up for a ticket, would also pay an expensive ticket to see your comedy show.
9/18/2009 | 10:35:26 PM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
Just take away the fact that we HATE the Axl or the hired musicians in his band (since we DON'T hate THEM, we hate the fact nothing's happening) and you're WHOLE FUCKIN' TIRADE against us falls apart.
Everybody here tried to explain that to you numerous times but you just don't seem to get it do ya?
The only thing we (and I take the liberty for once to speak for the other ones you concider haters) hate is the way you think, post, and have a general distorted view on things and other people's opnions as long as it doesn't match your own.
And if you want to talk about being dumb, not in touch with reality, etc. Go read your own predictions, brought here as facts.
But the whole point is: it's not about who's "right" or "wrong".
This site was (shame to admit it's way in the past) ment for people to react on news items.
Since guys like you started verbally abusing people for said reasons we all get nasty back and forth.
Your one of the cockroaches here mister GNR4EVER and I will keep on asking you:
Please act like a civilised person.
A lot of us are using our patience so don't make us lose it again.
That goes for all people who are busy too often just pissing off other people.
We all have our own opinion but that's no need for virtual violence.
9/18/2009 | 10:52:32 PM by gnr4ever
Slane92: agree 100%...just like Axl to go there! Too awesome.
TWAT: I can get ya tickets to my next show. Let me know when you're in the area.
JD: it is just rock n roll....agree 100%!! That's why I don't find there any use to belittle the band or Axl for trying to make it happen,
Sit back and enjoy life... before ya know it they will be in your hometown.
***** I will always stick up for this band....even if they were to hit a school bus while drunk on tour... I guess most on here call it ignorance or crazy.... I'd do the same for anyone else that has been there for me my whole life*****
I don't walk away or turn my back because they aren't moving at the pace I want or expect.
You feel they owe you something...... that's the funny part!
9/18/2009 | 11:31:03 PM by chris "you"
WOW! gnr4ever you're out there man: Really Axl's integrity to finish an album after he spent 13 mil of the record companies $$ dicking around with the same songs we all heard at RIR3.
Also just because people do not necessarily agree w/ Axl's way of handling this version of GNR Mind you the version he fought for: does not mean we hate him or the band.
9/18/2009 | 11:48:35 PM by Picolo
I'm bored to hearing how genius Axl is....
Really you must be very genius when you spending 14 years to create 1 album,when you spending 13 millions $ for 1 album,also must be very genius then when you dont supporting this 1 album and you have no promo.
This is not called genius,this called stupidity....
Αxl rose is better stop to giving hopes and give up now the name GnR,he is destroying with the worst way the history of the band.
9/19/2009 | 12:59:30 AM by Slane92
Picolo...
Try writing and composing any type of music that sells millions of albums and then talk about talent and genius,
No matter what way u look at it Axl is a fucking talented Musician.
If Chinese Democracy didnt do it for you well thats a pity, because I am still enjoying it,
Im glad to have it, it sits well with the rest of the GnR collection, I can easily listen to appetite or democracy or even shuffle the songs its all good to me.
I understand art4evers frustration at no real news since the albums release, and when he isnt threatening people with physical violence he makes some very solid points,
But I also understand gnr4ever's point of view and enthusiasm, its kinda infectious keep on believing my man.
If GnR roll into a town near you, are you gonna buy a ticket?
9/19/2009 | 1:12:11 AM by chris "you"
I agree with Slane here Picola: Axl has written some great music Chin Dem included. I may not like the way he promotes and that he never gives interviews or takes so long to get on stage or so long to put out an album, but we cannot question his musical talents.
9/19/2009 | 1:36:22 AM by Me
gnr4ever after your comment: "I will always stick up for this band....even if they were to hit a school bus while drunk on tour..." I know that you're either high or a whack job. I'm guessing the latter. Clearly you read what you want in our posts. We might be pissed off at how Axl runs this band but we are still fans of the band and that what you fail to understand or address.
Your blind faith to this band is NOT endearing in any way, it's fucking creepy. You really need some professional help. You need to talk to someone about your obsessive and compulsive nature. There is no integrity in your devotion to this band, there is no honor as your are clearly trying to suggest by stating the most assinine, offensive and just plain fucking crazy statement I quoted above.
get some help man because you're fucked up.
9/19/2009 | 3:28:00 AM by jp2166
i am not new here, i just speculate....where is brandon. or big ern,,?to all these people that post here day in/out...grow up and stop posting...quit bitching like little school girls and live life...almost all of the frequent posters complain about no news,,then when a shred of news gets posted ,, you bitch and say its lies.. i was raised on "appetite" thanks to a cool father,,, but all of you kids that were born in the internet era need to fuck off...you are the reason that lies are fed to the fans.. what happened to waiting for the new circus magazine or hit parader to be on the shelves of your local store....kids today just don't get the fact that axl rose grew up in an internet -free world....even lars ulrich knew that the internet ruined the music biz... if all the people posting on this site is 30 yrs or older,,i know you know what things should be... to all the rest,,, you will continue to post here,,but the true fans of this great band like to observe all the idiots that do post ,,to the big topic...axl rose is a red head,,, axl rose is my idol,,i have gnr tattos, gnr cross tattoos. and nipples pierced (80's ) to show respect for the man........ but kids on here ,,,quit bitching ,, and forget the bs from al the gnr sites until gnr mgmt makes a statement

your such a fucking hypocritical tool art4ever..
9/19/2009 | 9:29:03 AM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
"fake pat": I checked your last 5 posts and all you do is bad mouth me, no GNR talk anywhere.
I asked you to mail us your adress so we can work this out outside of this GNR website. You did not reply. If you don't have the balls to play with the big guys why bother posting anymore shit here?
I'm here for GNR. Stop it or give us your home adress.
9/19/2009 | 10:13:58 AM by gnr4ever
To Me:
First off you self-indulgent prick! If you have the balls to do anything in life other than work for the man come speak to me. I for one have done a lot in my time on this earth. I perform to thousands of people every year! Excluding T.V. I come to this site to read about the band I want to know about. I've been here for years. Never changed my tune. I back what Axl does and am happy in knowing that what is meant to be will be. You and many others come on this site and bitch, ridicule and talk shit. To be honest I think your this biggest joke of all. That fact that you take the good and turn it too bad, time in and time out. I think that you kind of fans truely suck. You frustrate an ARTIST TO DEATH. You feel cause one mans journey is your right to decide and judge.
Why is everything such a big deal? BBF has an interview, doesn't comment on the tour and now he's an asshole that's affraid of THE WRATH OF AXL??? FUCK YOU!
Why is everyone in Guns camp an asshole cause they aren't doing things the way you want?
You ever have someone talk shit about your life and how you choose to live it? Axl makes music not cures cancer. He aint holding back some cock pill that'll make ya feel like a man worthy of living his own life with out ridiculing some rock god.
And as far as you trying to say that I'm obsessed and unhealthy.... well I think I'm one of the sane ones on here. I'm grounded and have for the most part been quite close to calling how things have unfolded. With the exception of the tour starting in the fall instead of summer. The album dropped 6 months after i thought it would.
The whole drunk tour bus thing was a joke for you to jump all over. You fell for the trap you weak minded individual.
I personally wouldn't come on this site if I had something negative to say about the band. I find it's better to push forward positive energy towards someone, than waste negative energy to bring someone down.
But if I see someone that deserves the piss taken out of em.. I'll step up!!!
You can say it's a dictator complex... I'd rather ridicule the haters than bitch about an artist or band doing there thing.
STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING IN YOUR OWN LIFE!!!! YOU WILL FEEL BETTER.
Oh and again..... " ME" You aren't worth my time. Do you get the fact that you get mad at me for sticking up for the band that this website is dedicated too??? Do you find the IRONY?
I don't approve of hitting a woman but you may be an exception.... LOL!!!! GET IT?? IT'S A JOKE CAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE BOY NOT A WOMAN....THAT'S WHERE THE FUNNY LIES.
9/19/2009 | 11:11:33 AM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
"I personally wouldn't come on this site if I had something negative to say about the band. I find it's better to push forward positive energy towards someone, than waste negative energy to bring someone down. " according to mr. GNR4EVER
But don't dare to be/see/do things different than mr. GNR4EVER will let you cause then his so called positive vibes turn into hell, filth and all that's dark in this world.
In other words, mr. GNR4EVER: let us be us and we WILL let you be you.
We have the right to say we hate the fact that nothing's happening, that we hate to wait for a mediocre album too long, that we hate it not to sing along in a crowd of thousands to the new songs being played on tour.
Again; you have the right to dislike the way we choose to vent that but we do NOT attack or verbally abuse you by saying something bout GNR that's bad in your eyes.
The "fuck off's" "don't come here again's" "get al life's" are all originating from your pc man.
Lay off it.
You will never change the way we feel.
Some of us HAVE however stopped using foul language against you, yet you choose to let this continue.
Waste of time and a beautiful website...
9/19/2009 | 11:54:29 AM by Picolo
Slane,
Yeah yeah very big genius is Axl,you must be very genius when you destroying the most dangerous and maybe the best band in the world cause you are dickhead and want to do a fuckin album with 13 millions $,when you spending 14 years and then after release you dont give a shit about this album.
This situation is for laughing, im saying that Axl is stupid and his choices for the band the last 15 years are wrong.
But after all this Axl is genius....
And cause some of you like to support CD and Axl every time,i have to say to you that CD isnt worth the money and the time.
WASP'S dominator for example is way better from CD,the same Death Magnetic and so many albums wich created with very less money and time.
9/19/2009 | 1:25:45 PM by TWAT
gnr4ever, I have a theory, that you are upset is to hear opinions that you have, but don't want to see. That's why you feel so threatened. Of course you would never admit this, not for anyone, not even to yourself. Of course you have doubts sometimes.
Take it easy. And thanks for the ticket offer.
Agree with Art4ever: "Can't we all just like, get along?"
9/19/2009 | 3:02:14 PM by Me
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gnr4ever for fucking collosul and epic king of tools!!!
I obviously gave you too much credit when I stated you actually read our posts because after your latest display of gargantuan ignorance I'd say you're illiterate. Never ever ever did I say anything negative about any band member other than Axl because I know Axl's the leader in this band in every way, so the other guys (excluding creative input) are pretty inconsequential.
Your next statement is full of shit I can smell it from here "I'm grounded and have for the most part been quite close to calling how things have unfolded..." Anyone who fucking says the album will be released or there will be a tour every other fucking day for 10 years will eventualy be right. But you're obviously too fucking dense to understand that.
You are the biggest fucking jerk off I've ever come across on the web. A person so devoid of anything real and tangible in their life that you get so personally riled up you lash out at others who disagree with you.
You are a lonely and pathetic excuse for a human being.
Working for the man?? What the fuck does that even mean....(I know exactly what it means) I didn't people still said that. What are you, out of the 60's you ignorant fuck?
I do work for the "man" and I do quite well. You probably wish you could say the same but no one in their right mind would give an obvious leper, parasite and dolt a job. You'd probably spend the whole fucking day arguing with people you disagree with.
It's probably best that we don't post to each other anymore as your self righteous and moronic leanings in life may be contagious.
I'm done with you.....
9/19/2009 | 3:11:33 PM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
Regardless who is wrong and who is right: Can't we all just like... GET ALONG?
If not, ignore each other. Be the wiser man/ woman...

Haha... someone on gnrdaily.com said that SWOC is/was weird person. Well, you guys give me a chance to laugh these days. Thank you very much. Can someone give me more popcorn and cola? I think it's gonna be next long night for me... ekhm...
I've got something for ya.
DJ Ashba recorded three songs with Neil Diamond. And as he said "heading into rehearsals with GN'R".
Check out his blog.

9/19/2009 | 6:06:04 PM by new gnr
ok, ok...didn't post in a while here, but I feel like I have to...
first of all, what is this site about??
well, my friends, it's about guns n roses, a band that broke up in 1996, but axl still uses the name, so it's not anymore in any way connected to slash, duff and company..it's axl's band, and personally, i like what he did with it..definitely wouldn't wanna hear axl singing she mine of velvet revolver, or any other libertad song..contraband is cool, but not as nearly improved or original or inovative like chinese democracy is...so what's the use of making an album, or ten albums like that in a year or two?? I'd rather prefer one chinese democracy in 30 years than 10 libertads in 2 years...always quality before quantity..
axl moved on, so should you who still think a reunion is going to happen...
secondly..I've already said this is a site that gives us news about this axl's band, whatever you haters call it..it's ok to have an opinion, we mostly all live in democratic societies, we're free to say what we want..but what's beyond my imagination is how can someone come regularly, daily on this site just to bitch for a lack of news or whatever they're bitching about?? daily...every day...to a site following new incarnation of gnr..??they don't like...??
it's funny how you have nothing better to do than just to moan and complaint about the album, a few of you here said it sucks, a few of you are dissappointed and channel your negative energy towards people who actually love the band and hope for a tour, who visit this site just to see if there's anything happening with a band they LIKE??
that's why I'll always support fans like Gnr4Ever, fake pat etc..cause they're passionate for something they love...
I can bet in anything they're not sad little persons like most of you haters here, cause they're not wasting their time and negative energy on for example some other band they don't like...it says it all...carpe diem people...if you have nothing better to do, live your lives..cause this is getting really funny..I'm mature enough to say if I already spend my time on internet, I will definitely not be going on Alice in Chains website and complaint every day they should give up their name cause their singer, David Langley (R.I.P.) is dead..what's the use??????
chill out everyone...
relax...
and remember...if Axl decides not to go on tour, not to tour anymore at all, or not to give another single interview in his life, or not to put another album...it's still his choice..his life...the only thing I'd miss would be new music composed from axl musically brilliant head...
peace out...and remember...
only music counts...when you darken your room, and put Chinese on your headphones..that's all what it is about...beautiful......
9/19/2009 | 6:23:43 PM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
Feel how you want but don't call us haters cause we're not. That's an insult.
9/19/2009 | 6:55:14 PM by TWAT
Don't understand why so many care about what other people's views, do you feel threatened? I'm on this site for my emotional ties with gnr, then I can think what I like about the current line up, and what,s around and I say it.
But once I become and the other with me insulted and contested.
"Haters"..... Is everything black or white for you?
9/19/2009 | 7:13:54 PM by SWOC
I hope that 'haters' don't mean people who look for GnR reunion.
Have a great weekend NuGnR haters&lovers what ever that means on this web...

9/19/2009 | 8:26:22 PM by gnr4ever
NEW GNR: Bang on man, you rock! This site is great when you don't have haters whining everyday!
"ME":
Not too cool when someone acts like they know you eh? You got pretty heated up over the working comment. Too funny, I figured you weren't happy with your state of employment , if you were working for yourself you might have more of an appreciation for someone else's vision and life. I find people like you live through others failures and are a drain an society! Just spewing forth negative energy at stuff you yourself wouldn't know where to even start.
If you'd followed your own dreams maybe you wouldn't be so harsh on someone else fulfilling theirs!
Oh and remember I didn't personally speak with you...you came at me. So ya, I'd appreciate not having to type directed at you again. But if need be......
9/19/2009 | 9:02:27 PM by TWAT
You Nazi can say what you want, slander and ridicule anyone you like. I don't care. But I know I would meet any of you in real life, so I know who would run home to mom. Take it easy, don't provoke too much. For then the word hater get a totally different meaning.

That's clearly not the "Real Brandon" why post under someone else's name?
9/20/2009 | 12:43:00 AM by split66
I don't know bout anyone else but if GNR tours I am stoked that Ashba is on board. He is talented as all hell... and his style is going to be a great addition to the sideshow that has become GN'R
AXL.. good work dude. Keep it interesting.
Is it just me.. or are you people also still listening to ChiDem daily? I can't remember the last album I did that with almost a year after its release. Oh yeah I remember... Use Your Illusion! :)
I was driving the AutoBahn from Vienna back home to Villach, Austria today... blasted through a tunnel... coppers on the other end. Busted going too fast. My explanation... listening to the new GN'R cd and got lost in it. Dude laughed and said he heard a rumor it was good. We chatted about it for 10 minutes... he will buy it... I still got the fine.. jackass!
9/20/2009 | 12:52:08 AM by gnr4ever
That's too funny Split! Sorry to hear about the ticket!
Agree fully about Ashba, I think not only a kick ass player but talented songwriter and producer. Definitely an awesome pick up for GnR! I think him BBF and Fortus will groove huge together!
Oh and ya Chi Dem total kick ass album, still rocks and ya find new fav's with each listen!
Right on man!!!

9/20/2009 | 1:04:44 AM by Me
LOL!!! Ha please gnr4ever, yeah I got really worked up, sure!! Your comment made me laugh!! Listen, the fact of the matter is you require professional help for obvious obsessiveness for Axl. Your fucking creepy, I'm sure you've been told that many times. Your opinion means nothing. You mean nothing.
Now piss off and go back to your GN'R circle jerk.
hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are one pathic person there!!!! hahahahaha!! LOL!!!!!!!!
9/20/2009 | 2:25:16 AM by gnr4ever
Do you at all read the posts? Go ahead and start from the top! Read em and tell me where I am creepy? Read em and see how I started this thread and how I slowly had to defend myself. If I'm creepy then your straight up insane... you don't like or respect Axl yet you come here everyday....
You are not worth an insult not even a thought!
Now I know most people don't ever talk to you on here so that's pretty cool for ya! I get that! But unfortunately it is over.
Take my advice and follow your heart.....you may even come around and realize that Axl's livin his life and you should do the same.
Bro get a hobby, get a clue or even better get a life.
Do you realize that you came at me un provoked? If you want to say shit about me go ahead, but at least make sense.
You have no direction I can tell. It sucks not being at all a contributor to the world. What is your talent? Figure it out and follow that passion. You will feel better and not be such a whiner.
9/20/2009 | 2:56:43 AM by Picolo
gnr4ever
All ppl laughing with you and your bullshit posts,really Axl must take you to giving interviews for GnR.
Axl failed,the cd project failed,his mission failed,Axl Rose after he destroyed the band back in 1994 he did the worst choices for GnR.
Nowdays GnR isnt a band,its for laughs.
9/20/2009 | 8:18:07 AM by Its Me
Picolo,
You're stupid. You hate Axl, the band and think its for "laughts", then get a fucking life and go laugh at the mirror
9/20/2009 | 9:05:17 AM by TWAT
"Is it just me.. or are you people also still listening to ChiDem daily? I can't remember the last album I did that with almost a year after its release. Oh yeah I remember... Use Your Illusion! :)"
I listened to AFD if not daily, at least once a week for over ten years.
Even today, I can listen to it and think it's the best record ever made. USY I never listen to, nor the CD now.
Don't know, it seems that many of you are quite young.
I bought my first album in 1976, it was Sweet "Desolation Boulevard", followed by Kiss "Desstoroyer"
I was 18 years when the AFD was released. Then I was a small-town wild boy who drank a lot and took a lot of drugs and who tramped around on the roads in Europe. AFD would make a huge impression on me .
There were no hungry band who released USI, it sounds a long way. And on the CD, there were no group whatsoever.
9/20/2009 | 10:31:28 AM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
Same here, AFD weekly and still gives me energy and goosebumps.
UYI's : Estranged and an occasional "I'm in the mood for this song now".
CD: Why bother? Reminds me only of the waiting and being treated like a dog who got throwed a bone to shut up.
Some might feel this different but PLEASE don't start another world war over this but the more and more I listen to CD, the more and more I hear the 20.000 overdubs, and the "look how much technical shit I pumped in here Slash, I evolved! I told ya!!!"
This is just a fute between Axl and the old band. Again the Lil' Red Bastard needs to prove something to the ones against him.
That's ALL over the album.
But hey, that's what I hear.
I love GNR. But then again, by talking about CD I am not talking about GNR.
So I'm no hater.
9/20/2009 | 11:12:33 AM by Picolo
Its Me
You are stupid too and Axl fanboy.
9/20/2009 | 12:25:43 PM by Axl
Hey has anybody noticed that the other day Dj Ashba put on his facebook status 'off to gnr rehearsals' not an exact quote but he said he was going to rehearse with gnr like a day or 2 ago?!?!?!?
9/20/2009 | 12:41:57 PM by Aussie Scott
Cool post Newgnr !
Hey Split66 - yeah dude I think Ashba is a great addition to GnR. I hope he sticks around for a long time and contributes to the creation of future music for this band. And I also still listen to ChiDem regularly.
I was in Malibu, California, a couple of weeks ago on the beach near the pier and there was this young band who were having a photo shoot on the beach. Their name was 'Mavick' - I think ??? Anyway I got talking to their drummer and I asked him what kind of music they played. He replied 'Hard Rock' and so I asked what kind of bands do they like or are their influences, and the first band the guy said was Guns n Roses !!! And the dude was 17 yrs old ! I was very pleasantly surprised.
So this awesome band is definetly not forgotten.
9/20/2009 | 2:53:28 PM by Me
gnr4ever, you're fucking creepy, stop addressing me you low life, white trash, illiterate fuck. Move on man, move on.
Douche LOL!!!!!
9/20/2009 | 5:02:26 PM by chris "you"
What I find so freakin humorous is that if GNR would just come out and say "we are planning a tour" instead of what's going on now: all the drama would not exist. Axl complains about all the rumors yet he allows them to fester and cause tension with the fans. Why all the secrecy?
9/20/2009 | 5:16:20 PM by Me
cris "you", EXACTLY!! you hit the nail right on the head and I submit there is no secrecy but the reaon why nothing is being publically stated is because there is nothing to say. Nothing is going on in the guns camp worthy of any public address.
But you are absolutely right in your statement.
9/20/2009 | 6:49:40 PM by gnr4ever
Maybe Guns camp could announce that they are all planning on breathing oxygen! If they came forward and said they are planning on touring you guys would still bitch! You're unbelievable. You say I'm illiterate... hell you're the one that can't read the writing on the wall. Of course they are touring.
And to the fuck-head that keeps addressing me! Take your own advice and move on! Have ya found a hobby yet? HAHAHAHA You're bored with your own life...hahaha.... shitty dude, don't worry Axl will do something cool for you to live through and bitch about!!
You are getting so old and irrelevant.... your hobby seems to be bitching about Axl.
Now if you don't want me to address you.... why the fuck wouldn't you stop addressing me? You seem like an old bitter man, yet you act in many cases like a young pre-teen girl. GROW UP!

Hello Axl Rose (one in a billion shot he reads this, but who cares...), please go on tour and record a duet with dutch singer songwriter Anouk.
Here albums will not be available in the US at first try because here record company EMI, like your record company Universal f..cks up a lot...........ain't it fun?.....
and to all those apposed ...well Huh.....

I think everyone who comes here on a daily basis and post comments is a deep passionate fan of GNR no matter positive or negetive thers no such thing as "haters" to the Nuguns caus nobody really knows what they are about
so i think a lot of fans are frusrated about that
and its reosonable when you think about it, your favorite band of all time dropped a record a year ago, so you want to hear more about the songs, to know more about the members and how
they made the song and of cours go see them live if possible and in the media.
So if it takes for the album tour to happen after a year its in the market so some fans are gonna get frusrated and this is the damn right place to express that,
this site is not for Axl ( your crazy if you think that he is affected or gets his emotional support by this forum) and co, this site is for GnR fans from all over the globe from the States to Asia to express them self in which ever way they choose with other fans who has the same passion for guns, so thers not really such big diffrence between the ones with "Im sick of it" attitude to the ones with the "Nuguns are great" attitude,
its like 2 kids who have a crash on the same girl when one is being really nice to her and the other is pulling her hair to get her attention and in the end she gives them both the finger and take a flight to Japan

Good to see some members talking.
Not all of them though, hopefully soon.
Richard Fortus is due, I think.
4 out of the 8 members are talking.
Even though we all want Axl to.
Vr are planning to resume next Autumn.
Eventually they'll announce a singer.
Rightly they're taking their time.
For all we know maybe they got one.
Until then, we'll have to wait.
Can't wait to find out who's singing.
Know who it won't be, that's for sure.
You never know for sure though.
Only time will tell
Until then, let's hope they pick well.

Ban gnr4ever? Don't think so. He makes me laugh.
Here's a thought. Let's ban the friggin douche bag above who posted as me, and said ban gnr4ever.
Dude. If you're gonna post under my name, at least learn English. My fans on here expect a certain standard of writing from me, and sadly you are not living up to those standards. Now, hit the road and pick a new name, ya friggin ass hat!

Took a break for 3 months and came back to find nothing has changed.
That's the good thing about being a GnR fan, it's easy to keep up with the news :)

Obviously Guns new tour and album is a big secret they don't want to share with anyone.
If you are a "real" GN'R fan, you will respect the band's wishes and not pay any attention to them.
9/21/2009 | 4:56:01 PM by Guus
Is anyone idiot that still believes in this band and Axl?
Im laughing sure if you still believe them...cause they've done.

Havent read any of the comments above, but i just wanted to say something. This will sound really weird especially coming from me, coz i was always the first one to bitch and moan. Had a dream last night that GNR came to Adelaide and i was at the front row at the concert and was that close to Axl i could literally touch him. You know when you have one of those dreams and its hard to get it out of your head, so when i was in a shower this morning i was thinking about the whole gunners thing. This will reflect what a lot of people were saying for a while but seriously why do we all feel like Axl owes us something?? Firstly he is brilliant and we need to appriciate that we were lucky enough to hear his music and it being part of out life. If he for whatever reason doesnt want to do a tour isnt that his right? We all wanted CD out for so long now that we got (well a year ago nearly) we are all critisizing it like its our right, and it probably is but hey even the haters have to admit the brilliancy of it. CD is brilliant in every way, and those of us who are willing to really listen to it will hear the underlying message...so why cant we respect it?Yes Axl does know how to fuck things up and say the wrongest things (eg Slash being a cancer) but Slash had his time to vent and say how it was from his perspective, and for most of it Axl kept reasonably quiet, but Guns and Roses is his name, so why cant he keep it? Its his album so he can do what he wants with it, why cant we just acknowledge that and be happy with what he wants to do and what is it about gunners that all fans go completly crazy over every rumour or news that we get! The man doesnt owe us anything and i mean anything!! yes it would be soooo brilliant to see him again on that stage and doing it for us, but fuck man would you seriously do it if your every move is being watched and attacked...he cant get it right either way...I'd say fuck you too!!
and yes i do realise that im probably get my head chewed off for this but fuck it....I love Axl, gunners (new and old) and I'd feel very happy and privilidged if i got another chance to see them live. And Axl if you are by any chance reading this I love you and thanks for all the shit that you and your music got me through over the years!!!

FAKE pat:
You felt you had to bash me in person/ us as a studio time after time again on this site and since we wanted to keep this outside of a GNR site (mature thing to do) we tried to find out where you lived since you were only brave enough to continue the namecalling like a 2-year old on this site. Safely behind your keyboard.
I openly admitted we couldn't find out where you live and asked you several times (each time you came on here JUST to insult us again while we ignored you for over a month) to send us an email with your adress. You didn't.
If you do not have the balls to play with the big guys then stop yelling at their door. It's childish. You are not making me/ us angry, you are only proving what a little annoying kiddy you are by posting shit and disappearing again.
You have seen me trying to be a little bit more mild on here and yet you continue.
I would like to ask Tony here to jump in.
I was called one of the many cockroaches on this site and I tried to clean up a little but you make things hard dude, you really do.
So Tony: get in there.
We don't want things to get really dirty over something as stupid as this.

...................................................................
Alice Cooper Wonders Where the Balls Have Gone in Rock 'n' Roll
...................................................................
If you're going to talk smack about someone else, you better be able to back it up. Well, when Alice Cooper asks Noisecreep, "Are all American bands metro-sexual now?" dude can back that s--- up. One of rock's living legends, Cooper has had it with the lack of real men in rock. "I heard the title Vampire Weekend and I thought, 'Oh, man, that's gonna be great. I gotta see it,'" he says. "And there are these guys with little Gap T-shirts on and I'm going, 'What happened to the balls in rock 'n' roll? Why are American bands so wimpy?'"
Who does earn his hard rock seal of approval? "The Foo Fighters get up there and they rock, they know how to rock. Green Day rocks, they get up there and they have energy," he says. "I am worried that a lot of the newer bands that are coming out are depending too much on keyboards and being sensitive. Maybe I'm just not sensitive anymore. I like to hear a band be stupid and drunk. I wish I could see more bands like that were like early Guns N' Roses, early Aerosmith, just snotty rock 'n' roll bands."
Along with his very entertaining look at today's music scene, Cooper filled Noisecreep in on his new tour, the best way to kill Alice and why it's only a matter of time before we see his music on Broadway.
What can you tell us about the upcoming tour?
It's a brand-new show. Everybody's got to remember a million new parts, new theatrics. They kill me four times in the show, so if I'm in the wrong place I get stitches.
So you get killed four times?
It's a four-part show, sort of like four different faces of Alice, and at the end of each part we have to execute him to get to the next part. The guy that directed it is the guy that directed 'Beauty and the Beast' on Broadway, so it's really pretty elaborate. The lyrics of the songs tell the whole story. We really depended this year on the lyrics to pull you through every segment and all the songs. We've never done that before, but I really like the idea. It's like taking those songs and doing something different with them.
That brings up a good point. You were doing concept albums in the '70s, and it seems like a natural for there to be an Alice Cooper musical on Broadway show. Will we ever see that?
I can't imagine there not being one. There's already been talk of 'Welcome to My Nightmare' on Broadway, 'cause when we did that it was basically a Broadway show. The director was from 'West Side Story,' everybody involved in the show was from some sort of legitimate theater. And then we just all put it all to Alice Cooper insane rock 'n' roll and Alice's insane concept of what theater was supposed to be. And it turned into something that nobody had ever seen before.
How would Alice Cooper on Broadway top the tours?
First of all, I would love to see something about Alice, the story is great. From Phoenix to the alcoholism, the fact that Alice is married successfully for 33 years, there's so many things that contradict each other. And after 40 years the band that all the critics said would last two weeks, I'm still here and I'm still selling out the place. So my idea of add a little Busby Berkeley, throw a little Bela Lugosi in there and terrify the audience, but make them laugh at the same time and don't give up the rock 'n' roll has worked for 40 years. And create a character that people actually really like. When I started Alice, there was no consummate villain in rock.
There were a lot of heroes, but no villains, a lot of Peter Pans and no Captain Hook. And I went, "Well, I'll gladly be Captain Hook." Forty years later, I'm still the premiere villain in rock. So whatever it is the audience liked, they liked the idea that it's funny and it is scary and it's a lot of different things.
Obviously for the Broadway show, you envision the music would still all be Alice.
Oh absolutely. The nice thing is the music is built in. If somebody were gonna say, "Let's write a bunch of songs for an Alice play, I'd go, 'They're written.'" In fact, they're not just written, they're hits already. I can go back for 40 years and give you 15 top 10 hits that are already proven. So in a lot of ways it's like Billy Joel or Abba or the Who that went to Broadway. You've already got these songs, so it's sort of a slam dunk. All you gotta do is do something really interesting on Broadway and really make it interesting.
What would be the three songs that absolutely have to be in the play?
Well, 'Ballad of Dwight Fry' because it really was the most theatrical song. You're writing a song about a guy that's in the original 'Frankenstein' and the original 'Dracula' and never got any due. He was the character that played Fritz and Renfield, the creepy little character. I do it in a straitjacket under a cold blue light and the audience feels very claustrophobic. I just think 'Ballad of Dwight Fry' may be the best example of a theatrical song for Alice. 'Only Women Bleed' is another one, it's a song that's pretty, it was a hit. When we first did it, the audience actually thought it was James Taylor, not the audience, but the record company. They had no idea it was Alice Cooper.
But it's a very dark song that ends up being almost a feminist anthem. It was a brutal ballet and it was saying men bleed physically, women bleed emotionally and that was the point I was trying to get across. The title made everybody think I was trying to get away with some sort of menstrual joke, and it ended up being covered by 12 different women.
What's your favorite version from the 12 different women who covered it?
When you take a song like that and you put Tina Turner behind it, she's gonna bleed all over that song. And Etta James did it, too. Those are versions I could never do because they're not even singing from their heart, they're singing from their groin on that. It's coming out guttural, women that have been beaten, women that have bled. So they heard that song and all of a sudden they were taking it literally and I was going, "Wow, I can't put that much soul into that song."
Another song you'd have to have is 'Welcome to my Nightmare' because that just pretty much says what Alice Cooper is. It's some kind of strange, dark, funny vaudeville. And that's all I ever wanted it to be. I always like the idea of vaudeville, horror and comedy all in bed together. And we've never backed down on the rock 'n' roll. I insist on it being loud, I insist on it being 95 percent rock and about five percent ballads. You're never gonna find me turning things down.
Of the four ways Alice gets killed, what's the best way to kill Alice?
I kind of go to my fears and infest them on stage. The worst thing that could ever happen to me is not snakes and spiders, it would be needles. And of course we have a giant hypodermic needle at the end of 'Poison.' And then another one is being claustrophobic, it's putting me in a box and running spikes through it. And it's a great trick. But you have to do this all to music and make sure that it all makes sense somehow. That's why sometimes I have to bring in somebody like a director from Broadway saying, "Here's all the stuff, here's my idea for the stuff, make it come to life." I haven't got the patience to sit there and go, "Okay, we need to rehearse this, this, this and this."
Who are some of the young musicians you admire?
There are some very inventive people. Jack White is incredible, because he goes against all the rules. He makes records that really are kind of sloppy and yet his voice and his guitar make it work. Everything that guy does is catchy. I am very encouraged that a lot of bands sound like they're going back to the garage and they're not depending on high-tech crap to be their music. But two guitars, bass, drums, and a lead singer, to me that's rock 'n' roll.
I do get a little annoyed that it seems like a lot of bands that come out now that I read, "The greatest band that I've ever heard." And I see them and I go, "There's absolutely no testosterone in this band." I heard the title Vampire Weekend and I thought, "Oh, man, that's gonna be great. I gotta see it." And there are these guys with little Gap T-shirts on and they're singing about I don't know what, it was so light I couldn't listen to it. And I'm going, "What happened to the balls in rock 'n' roll? Why are American bands so wimpy?"
I'm getting a lot of bands that are kind of going, "Oh, the summer in the rain and aren't lightning bugs wonderful?" And I'm going, "What kind of drug are you on?" I think if you asked Ozzy, Iggy and all the other people that come from our generation, we're kind of hoping the young guys step it up a little bit when it comes to being guys.

G'day Estranged,
No I haven't found those sunglasses or the cod-piece yet, haha...
AC/DC huh? Lucky you - I should have planned my USA trip better. Missed ACDC playing where I was staying at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas by just a few weeks unfortunately.
It was the story of my holiday - missed BucketHead (and Alice in Chains) in Cleveland by about a week, missed Motorhead in Anaheim by a few days, Chris Cornell and Korn in Hollywood, believe me the list goes on :( I was even hoping to see Les Paul play at his little Jazz bar in New York City and he died like the day just before I get there ... Anyway, thats life.
Good to see you back dude!
Hey fakepat - I see you have a lot of highlander energy in you mate ! You need to release this energy and take the focus of your mortal enemies. I have one word for you - LoveandRockets (in the Valley) ! Well maybe thats technically three words. I went there last night to help a mate. His company was shooting footage for their new promo reel for their website. It was hard work but someones gotta do it :)

Talking about people completly losing the fucken plot hahaha!! Threatening and shit, this is seriously funny! Alice Cooper needs to get in with the times, there is no more good music and we know it (sad but true), gnr was the last true rock band of all time (appetite in particular)!
art4eva why the fuck do you let fake pat piss you off that much, he called me a cunt once, and trust me if he was near me i would have ripped him a new ahole but hey ppl need to feel big sometimes! how about we all go back to discussing what was/is good about gnr...This I Love...Think about you...Double Talkin Jive...Axl...Slash...Duff...and yea i just went on youtube to see DJ Ashba...man he can play!!!whenever and if the time comes for me to see these beautiful boys play, it will be perfect!!!

Sorry is a killer song with rock n' roll attitude.
I still think Chinese Democracy is an awesome album. Even songs that I didn't like as much at first are growing on me--Rhiad and IRS.
There Was a Time is still the best though.
I love listening to music in my car, but Chinese Democracy should be listen to on headphones at high volume--there's so much in every song.

"Sorry is a killer song with rock n' roll attitude."
Agree. It would even fit on Appetite. Listened to the song today. Haven't listened to the disc in a while. Twat is both beautiful and wonderful. I really love that song. The disc has its grains of gold. There are a few things I can't stand, but that's another story. Today I'm in a good mood and I don't want to take anything down.

Oh My God: 10 Years and 14 Songs Later ...
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the release of "Oh My God," the first single of the Chinese Democracy / New Guns era.
10 years later, and what have we got? A few short tours. One album. A whole lot of empty promises. Dozens of missed opportunities, and a handful of scapegoats: Slash, Jimmy Iovine, Buckethead, and Merck Mercuriadis (to name a few).
10 wasted years.
That's my opinion. What do you think? How would you rate Axl's performance as Captain of the Guns N' Roses ship?
You can leave a comment at the bottom of this page.
And now, without any further ado, here's my third favorite Axl rose press release:
September 22nd, 1999
So here's the story behind this music
The chorus: OH MY GOD etc. deals with the societal repression of deep and often agonizing emotions - some of which may be willingly accepted for one reason or another - the appropriate expression of which (one that promotes a healing, release and a positive resolve) is often discouraged and many times denied. Emotionally the song contemplates several abstract perspectives drawing from personal expression as well as from the film (End Of Days) and its metaphors. The appropriate expression and vehicle for such emotions and concepts is not something taken for granted.
Musically the song was primarily written by Paul Huge over two years ago, with Dizzy Reed writing the musical hook of the chorus.
Former member Duff McKagan as well as former employee Matt Sorum failed to see its potential and showed no interest in exploring, let alone recording the piece.
When the demos were played for the new band, Josh, Tommy and Robin were as they say 'all over it.'
Once the opportunity was presented, the song was given priority in our recording process. As the verse, performance and lyrics were decided on, for us (that especially includes Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine) the choice became obvious. We were more than pleased Mr. Roswell (the film's music supervisor) agreed! Our thanks to Arnold and all for the consideration - it is an association in which we have always felt honored.
Paul Huge, Gary Sunshine and Dave Navarro appear on the song as well as Robin Finck. Robin's part was written by Paul and extensively manipulated by our producer, Sean Beaven. Robin was not involved in the writing of the final recording though did participate in the arrangement. All lyrics were written by myself.
Additional programming (jack boots, screeching tires, etc.) was by Stuart White.
The fight of good vs. evil, positive vs. negative, man against a seemingly undefeatable, undeterrable, unrevealed destiny, along with the personal and universal struggle to attain, maintain and responsibly manage freewill can be and often is frustrating to say the least. In America our country's constitutional right to freedom of expression gives us a better chance to fight for that expression than many in other countries enjoy. It can be a big gig, like kickin' the crap outta the devil!
Power to the people, peace out and blame Canada,
Axl
9/22/2009 | 9:49:41 PM by Spanx
Do you know what amazes me? It's that celebrities of any genre these days cannot fart without hearing about it on E! or Tmz or whatever, and yet we hear absoluteley zip on Axl or GNR. No sightings, photos, news or gossip (who's shagging who etc).
Is the great man himself even still alive?
9/22/2009 | 9:57:03 PM by chris "you"
CT: Wow 10 years ago Oh my God was released.
I think the really disappointing thing to me is that it seems there is not all this "new" music. The sames songs were tweaked and tweaked over the years and sound pretty much the same now as they did when played live at RIR3.
So to piggy back on your "missed opportunity" comment. I would say that is understatement of the year.
9/22/2009 | 10:02:07 PM by SWOC
Just create my fav list of GnR songs which maybe we will listen live. Yeah, it's long. But I heard this one three times today, and it rocks. Belive me.

3. You could be mine
4. Mr Brownstone
5. Better
6. Patience
7. Street of Dreams
8. It's all right
9. November rain
10. Cather in the rye
11. Sorry
12. It's so easy
13. Welcome to the Jungle
14. My Michelle
15. Think about you
16. SCOM
17. Madagascar
18. This I love
19. Prostitute
20. KOHD
21. Don't Cry
22. Paradise City
9/22/2009 | 10:41:48 PM by Big Ern
Oh My God is a great song, even though it's much more industrial than rock, which is why so many people dismissed it.
The lyrics, I think, are great because of the syntax and themes of fate, free-will, repression, opression, expression, destruction and the individual versus society.
I hope the next album has some more heavier songs like this on it because Chinese Democracy's heavie song weren't as intense or as groovy as Oh My God.
While I like Shackler's Revenge, I think it could have been much better--longer, more complex, more lyrics. I think it could have been a great song like Coma, but despite being good, it could have been much better.

9/23/2009 | 2:08:36 AM by Aussie Scott
I have got to agree with you Big Ern - I love 'Oh My God', its a wicked song. They should have put it on CD. Maybe clean it up a little so you can hear Axl's vocals as the lyrics are awesome.
Hey fakepat - I had my first drum lesson last week. Seeing Steven Adler here in Brisbane inspired me - he made it look like so much fun. Now where's a fuckin' cowbell to whack !!!

Thanks for the press release CT. I had never seen that before. Though I do remember the "jump in and find the monkey" fax to MTV and the "Slash said Duff was spineless" press release.
Oh My God is a horrible song.
BTW - are some of you folks still calling Chinese a sleepy? GNR an undiscovered indy rock band just about to make it big?
CD is a flop. Artistically, creatively and commerically. It sounds like a mish mash of the last fifteen years, tweaked and over produced. The live version of Madagascar and the Blues (SOD) I heard live in 2002 was equal if not better.

I'm obviously a loser...I have nothing better to do with my life then to whine and complain like a little delinquent child on this GUNS N' ROSES site even though I hate them and think they suck. Poor me, what will I do when I get older? Will I still cry like a baby on this site and have no life of my own? Will I?
9/23/2009 | 7:16:16 PM by TWAT
Yes, you will. And we will hate you for it:-)

that was obviously gnr4ever and not Estranged.....

Did everyone catch on to GNR version 2's post? Read the first letter of his post from top to bottom.
Very funny!!

Sorry to break it to ya C.T, but that wasn't me. I've never played the post under someone else's name game. So I guess it's not so obvious after all. Pick some one else you don't care for on this site!
I wasn't going to post for a few weeks months etc... So while I'm here, thanks Brandon...Tony as well..you guys rock, keep the dream alive!

Hey people,
The biggest mish-mash-album and the worst one in the hole, this band, music history is...
Queen & Paul Rodger's "The Cosmos Rocks"
Anyone here listen to it? Awful. I'm sorry Paul but Queen it's not a place for you. There was only one Freddie... think that John Deacon gonna use the same words.
"CD" is ok. But first time, when I listened to it thanx NuGnR myspace profile I just did little bim-bam-bum sitting in front of my computer - just fell asleep like a baby. LOL... yeah 1:11:27 was too long for me. Haha
Belive me I like it. My first thought when I brought my copy at home was 'hey GnR are finally in da buisness'. Aren't they???
Sorry that I bother you one more time...
gnr4ever do you think you going ha?

Many of Axl's fans, like Axl himself are sensitive to criticism and seem to live in an alternate universe. If you are frustrated that Axl has destroyed GNR, don't blame me! In Axl's words, Blame Canada!
But seriously, I've basically given up on GNR. If Axl really does go on tour in 2009 I'll certainly be there, but as I've said before, I've seen AC/DC twice in twelve months and every person who left the stadium left with a big smile on their face. They rocked. None of the bullspit that Axl brings.
9/23/2009 | 8:22:35 PM by Estranged
Hey Aussie Scott- sorry to hear you missed all those bands. Buckethead just played in Chicago, I don't know why I missed it. Last time I saw him, he played at the Metro, right by where Slash and Duff hung out while writing UYI1/2.
Have a great trip and safe flight home.

It's true, but remember he was never a member of Queen. It was Queen + Paul Rogers. Not Queen. That's what I call integrity as opposed to another band that we all know.

posters like estranged that have been posting the past year...please fuck off and go see the same old hits of ac/dc ...leave a decent site like this alone...if i was axl and read all the dumbass posts and remarks by the same dumbass posters,,,,i would be cynicale......you dumbasses that post 20 times a day bitching,,,no wonder axl keeps silent,,,,you all act like stalkers....please grow up , grow a pair,,,,, listen to brandon, fake pat, and lana, and please let this website breathe some fresh air,,,, all the same repetitive posters really need to get out of the fucking house and get laid.....please for the sake of the real gnr--not axl--but GNR fans

"It was Queen + Paul Rogers. Not Queen. That's what I call integrity as opposed to another band that we all know."
...................................................................
Yup, I know and I will remember that. And this band "that we all know" should change name. Ok.
I had an opportunity to see VR twice (of course before they split up with) live on stage and how they played "Mr Brownstone", "It's so easy" and "Paradise City". Told you what team, after so many years old-gunners hadn't lost this magic chemistry. It's unbeliveable. They are still better than new mates. I didn't talk much about it, coz most of you don't like Scott Weiland. They've got appetite for destruction and are in need - still looking for vocalist haha... my frustration is still growing up too.
No matter what Axl Rose will do with his NuGnR (they are not so good as Slash&Co.) I will say my favourite sentence:
WE need reunion like oxygen to breath and live!!!
You can called me Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus Minor ( this man who wanted to see Carthage in fire). Forgive me I study history ;)
P.S
Looking for news from GnR camp.
Have a nice week!!!
9/23/2009 | 10:32:16 PM by Estranged
I saw VR in 2005, the biggest pop they got was for Mr. Brownstone. Slash and Duff still have it. All in all they were ok, Weiland was a decent frontman, but they were less of a "band" and more of a supergroup pasted together. I always though Fall to Pieces should have been a bigger him. The guitar piece and solo was very old GNR Slash.
Hard to believe, but Slash may never get to play his solos from November Rain, Rocket Queen, Coma, Estranged, or Don't Cry, live before a major crowd, ever again. I know Izzy had tears in his eyes when he hit the stage in NY in 2006, and Slash commented on how it felt to play SCOM for some guitar semiar or something.
9/23/2009 | 11:11:10 PM by jp2166
it just seems to get worse,,
estranged and swoc,,
[please grow up and fuck off,,,tony, please ban dumbasses like this off of a gnr site...you like vr,,,then go to their shut down website and praise slash,,if pearl wasn't around,,,he probably wouldn't be alive.. this website should shut down until official statements are made....what happened to the true music fans of gnr... i know,,,,the goddamn internet.. if you don't beleve me ,,ask axl,,
by the way,,, axl is making a statement on oct 5-7 possibly,,,i'll let you all know if things or dates change..
9/23/2009 | 11:13:51 PM by AxlGnrFans1974
When Guns N'Roses came to Holland Nijmegen at the Goffertpark and later in the show Izzy came on and stood there with a very well for two hours singing Axl Rose he had some tears in his eyes to and there was a look between Axl and Izzy that said it all..........
Axl, we hope to see you and the current band in 2010! in Holland.

Stumbled across this old Rolling Stone article. I remember when it came out in 2000. A lot of water under the bridge, and a lot of the same.

^ We need to stop using others' usernames. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of posting under the same name.
It is unnecessary and infantile. I strongly disagree with gnr4ever most of the time, I do think he will justify Axl's behavior. However, no reason to use his username.
9/24/2009 | 1:18:45 AM by fake pat
it sold 5.3 million copies and is certified platinum in the USA...it is certainly not a commercial flop.
9/24/2009 | 2:19:45 AM by Jason
HI Fake Pat,
You can never please everyone, going platinium is pretty impressive these days. I think if GNR tours the album will sell better, in my opinion the album is solid. I am so sick of people bashing the new GNR, who never even listened to CD. I hope the band tours in December and eventually tours in the US. It a shame that AXL never released the video for Better, but the album is really good and I listen to it almost every day. Lets see what happens wiith the tour but for now enjoy the album! Good to see alll the post from Fake pat, brandon, etc who have kept the faith. Long live GNR! and to the haters why dont you just......................................................
9/24/2009 | 3:22:14 AM by Lana
Look people, i can so understand why it would be frustrating waiting, BUT try to have some faith. Fuck man i'd be the first to say that id be really and i mean really devastated if i never see gunners again (old or new) but will i survive it YES!!! Those of you who say that CD is crap, then try listening to it few more times and try to get it... but for some people its just not natural thing to get it, which is OK. I wonder if people remember what happened to Appetite in the 1st year, didnt take off much (i dont remember it coz i was 5 but hey i know about it), and the same thing might happen to CD. I honestly think that it was released for certain people (Axl's reasons) and not for everyone to get!Its not Appetite but neither is UYI1 and 2, but i swear it would be so stupid if they released another album where they talk about drug addiction, when Axl doesnt allow himself to be an addict (now i mean)...get with the times and dont be hypocrits (is that how u spell it...dont look right). Just relax and take it all in...coz for those of you who are bitching i really feel that there will come a time where you'll say watta fuk was i thinking!And as Jason says LONG LIVE GNR!!!!!!!!!

Source for 5.3 million copies?
9/24/2009 | 6:53:33 AM by Estranged
Lana, I'm not sure how many times the Appetite/CD analogy has been refuted. When Appetite was released in 1987, it did not explode, initially. Guns N' Roses were relatively unknown outside the die hard tape passing crowd. Chinese Democracy was the most anticipated, most hyped, most expensive album of all time. Rolling Stone wrote an article about it in 2000. CD broke up Guns. It was supposed to be huge, Axl's magnum opus. For years he promised this epic album. It obviously did not live up to expectations.
So to compare the slow start of CD with Appetite ignores all the relevant facts. One was from an unknown, the other was from the formerly biggest band in the world with most famous front man.
Regardless of the merits of CD, I think we should end the silly comparison.
9/24/2009 | 9:28:36 AM by www.ART-4-EVER.nl
AFD and UYI sold in millions to FANS, CD was sold 5.3 million times to BEST BUY. It's platinum, yes. But I see through that and have my own thoughts...
9/24/2009 | 2:33:33 PM by gnr4ever
Hey! Who is the idiot posting under my name???
FUCK YOU!!! Axl is a big pussy.
9/24/2009 | 3:03:02 PM by Lana
Estranged yes you are right, but you know how many younger people don't know who gunners are...there is a whole new audience out there that might hear about them if Axl does a tour or some promotion. As for CD being so hyped up, except for the die hard fans in Ozzie no one even knew that it was happening. I had people in front of me at the Gunners concert in 2007 that didnt even know that they broke up. So in regards to my 'silly comparison' there is still a chance that CD will take off, maybe not in USA but possibly elsewhere. As we all know USA came up with Britney Spears and Miley Cirus so there is not much hope left there for quality music...
9/24/2009 | 4:38:50 PM by chris "you"
Lana, young people into rock music know exactly who GNR is: They may not own Chin Dem because they simply do not care about it. Personally I like Chin Dem... I listened to it in my car again while traveling the other day and it is a really good album. People knew/ know about Chin Dem. The fact is Axl waited too long, cancelled too many tours and shows, made too many empty promises and people lost interest. Hell Estranged just posted a link to a RS article that was written in 2000: Axl missed his opportunity to make this band be viewed as GNR he releases Chin Dem in 1999 and another album in 2008 with a few tours sprinkled in and he has officially reinvented GNR. BUT he did not do that: Which was his right to do
As for the AFD comparison: I agree w/ Estranged there is no comparison. First of all AFD may have been a late bloomer by a new band, but it was promoted like crazy. Even Axl said while on the Eddie Trunk show in 2006 they kept forcing Jungle down radio stations throats to get them to play it. See the difference a heavily promoted new album by a new band compared with a highly anticipated album by a WELL_KNOWN band w/ zero promo? Seriously would AFD sold anything if Axl would have taken the same route he has w/ Chin Dem???? Of course not: and honestly Chin Dem has sold pretty well because so many people simply knew about it
As for the US having no hope for quality of music. Well again we are all on a GNR site (which is a rock band) and you throw out Miley and Britney??? Again a comparison that has no merit. I am sure the pop fans wherever you live are just as enthralled w/ Britney and Miley as the US fans. I'm sure the majority of the bands you like or are a fan of come from this place you say has no hope for good quality music. Wow well wait a minute the man and band and album you are defending right now come for the good ole USA! So since Axl is American and lives in the US does he have not hope for quality music?
9/24/2009 | 8:05:54 PM by AxlGnrFans1974
Axl sometimes can be a neo-maxi-zoom-dweepy, but also the so called press and reporters, of which some are true A-holes, play a role in the depiction of Axl and Co. But.....the man makes damn good music if he wants to. We do not want to know him personally and he probably doesn't want to really know us. Just as long as he and his current band members bring out a few more albums and maybe a tour, that's fine by us.
Have a good weekend all here!!
9/24/2009 | 8:42:41 PM by Estranged
Chris "You" - the interesting post. However, could it not be argued that CD was promoted with the new media. The album was released exclusively to Best Buy. The songs were released on iTunes. The songs were available on Guitar Hero and Rock Band. And still the album didn't move.
I'm not certain a tour would move more copies. About half the crowd would be fans who just come to hear SWOM and NR. I remember in 2002 half the crowd didn't know Buckethead wasn't Slash.
It just might be CD isn't a hit like past albums. More in line with the Spaghetti Incident or the Live 87-93 albums.
9/24/2009 | 9:00:35 PM by C.T.
A "hit" is subjective though. The sales tally is 5 million plus copies sold. I think that's considered a commercial success in todays music stealing environment.
However that 5 million+ sales is calculated is a moot point (be it cash register sales or best buy sales or a combo of both) because a sale is a sale.
9/24/2009 | 9:02:36 PM by C.T.
Sunday, December 13, 2009 - Guns N' Roses at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.
9/24/2009 | 9:37:58 PM by Estranged
CT - agree, its all subjective. We also have to look at sales of past GNR albums, and sales of contemporary albums. Not to beat a dead horse, but that 5 million is worldwide, not in the US. I think AC/DC's latest sold quite a few more.
Anyone have a source for records sales? I did some googling but damned if I can find reliable figures.
9/24/2009 | 9:45:47 PM by C.T.
here's wikipedia sales info.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Democracy (5.3 million copies worldwide)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Ice_(album) (7.2 million copies worldwide)
9/24/2009 | 11:16:42 PM by Estranged
Thanks CT, here is the problem. Wikipedia says 5.3 million. Then when you look at the source, it is not supported. That is the problem with the footnotes on Wikipedia. You can claim a source, but futher investigation does not verify the claim. I could edit the page, put the number at 10 million, cite it to a Rolling Stone article that doesn't justify my position and nobody would be the wiser.
Didn't Axl call the internet a great big garbage can of lies?
9/25/2009 | 1:24:15 AM by Lana
Wow you guys take your stuff really seriously, researching it and stuff, maybe you need to find better things to do with your time...no offence! No one really gives a shit, those who enjoy CD will buy it and listen to it those who don't simply won't who gives a shit about how much of it is sold. My entire point was that there are people that don't know who gunners are...i work with young people in Australia until the age of 25 (most of them are 15-16) and they know who Good Charlotte is but not Gunners, and i can gurantee you that. and Chris 'you' my jab wasnt at you or Americans it is about the whole fucken world whose princess is Paris Hilton. Most good band come from there in the past and the UK but dude seriously get a fucken grip and dont feel so offended coz i told the truth. Yes its a rock website and i was talking about Australia, about promotion not the US...there is one shopping centre in Adelaide that had the poster of CD, the rest just didnt give a shit!The reason why Appetite took off was because of tours and people got to know who they are...and i still press my fucken point that if there is a promotion and tours the way that it happened with UYI1 and 2 and Appetite the whole thing could take off once again! Agree or disagree with me i couldnt give a shit!!!

Allready home, back at work and all that boring stuff :(
9/25/2009 | 4:16:43 AM by chris "you"
Lana, I am confused you say your remarks were not directed at me or America yet you said "maybe not in USA but possibly elsewhere. As we all know USA came up with Britney Spears and Miley Cirus so there is not much hope left there for quality music..." Also I really could careless what you think or if you agree with me or not: I simply responded to comments you made: If you dont want people to respond to what you write then why write anything? No offense taken on my part and meant no ill-will towards you just friendly banter back and forth.
9/25/2009 | 4:39:22 AM by Estranged
Aussie "Bon" Scott - glad you had a safe trip. Nu GNR seems to booking awfully close to your neck of the woods. You might see them in 2010. Hope America treated you well.
Lana - It seems you are taking this a little seriously. See your Tolstoyesque posts for confirmation. If you don't give a "shit" why bother posting?
Post Script: The reason Appetite and Use Your Illusions took off was because they were some of the greatest albums of all time. Great sound, great music, superb presentation.
9/25/2009 | 4:54:25 AM by Lana
yeah chris, my opinion related to US 'ruling' the world in the music sense and everywhere else for that fact...we get ET and TMZ here and its all senseless bull shit so thats what i was referring to. and yeah im so used to getting my head chewed off on here that i get into defence mode straight away and i feel strongly about gunners and Axl so when i constantly read about people saying negative shit about CD or gunners it gets me pissed off coz what i dont understand is why be on here if ur constantly talkin shit...if people dont have anything positive to say why constantly bring negative shit on here. let me just be excited about the possibility of gunners doing a tour or CD acctually making it and not shit all over it. i make comments to make comments not to get brownie points either way, i dont expect people to respond but as soon as something is said people jump at the opportunity to shit all over it! I was called a cunt and many other things for expressing my opinion and if there is still so many negative things to say why dont people get a hobbie??yes everyone has an opinion but if u hate Axl for what hez done why come to a website which is gnrdaily and screw with actual fans who dont wanna hear that shit! we r all aware of shit that has happened and im the 1st to admit that there were times when i said fuck this but we also wanna move on!!
9/25/2009 | 5:11:06 AM by chris "you"
Lana: I like you am excited that GNR may be touring: I really hope they do. I think Axl makes GREAT music and am a fan of Chin Dem. I really hope he tours the Us again, although I doubt they will.
Just because I have a different opinion as you in the manner Axl handled Chin Dem and NuGuns does not make me or anyone else less of a fan. I cannot speak for others but I come to this site daily in the hopes that something was going to happen. For a while it was to see if the album was coming, now it is because I want to see if they will tour.
Plus the site would get pretty boring with the usual lack of news if everyone had the same opinion, right?
9/25/2009 | 5:45:03 AM by Lana
Yeah fair enough mate and i share some of those opinions with you. it would get pretty boring but the personal insults shouldnt be on...personal insults to me (or anyone else) and Axl. It just seems that there is so much hatred out there for him, and what he has done, which sux from time to time i have to admit, but as i said before cut the bull shit, leave the man alone, and if i for one second read all the shit that people have written on here so far Id say fuck you, u unappriciative assholes! All im saying is give the man a chance whether he wants one or not! None of us here know what he had to go through with Slash (who is my future husband btw) and all the other shit that went on, not saying that its an excuse but for fuks sake build a fucken bridge and get over it!!!!
