  1. Off the top of my head 1. 2011-2012 Axl (NOT RIO, but that NA tour & UCAP. Some of the best shows I’ve ever seen and the best times I’ve ever had.) 2. 2016 Axl, for the voice and the redemption. 3.1993 Axl, just dug the stubble/Manson shirt look. 4. 2023 Axl, vocals may not be 100% but the brother looks in good shape and is always having a helluva time on stage.
  2. So fine is probably the worst thing released under the GNR name. Just….utter crap.
  3. Other than Absurd, those are my bottom of the barrel too…but when they started playing anything goes live, it won me over temporarily. I do. By a lot too.
  4. Are there any Axl/DC recordings out there that are worth downloading? Soundboard or anything like that? I mean, we’ll never get that live album, so, what’s the closest thing making the rounds?
  5. If you were their business manager, you may have an opinion, but you’re not. Clearly, the “brand” is succeeding. And man, if you’re sad, displeased, unhappy? Go follow sublime or something. This fanbase is swimming with disappointed complainers, no matter what. People claiming EVERY SINGLE YEAR, they’re bored, they’re sad, they’re done. But they never actually quit. They just complain FOREVER, and talk about how much better they could run things. Sorry…you WONT wind up running things. I’m sure you have tremendous memories from live shows, being a teenager and buying your first tape, album, CD? maybe YOU should call it a day. If you hate it so much, BAIL. I understand, it’s an obsession, been there too. But I grew out of it to the point where I appreciate what the band delivers, singles, tours, box sets. Doesn’t anyone remember when the band DIDNT EVEN EXIST?! Point being, where you say “they should call it a day?” It means you should call it a day. There’s plenty of people happy. If you’re not? Happy trails! Find a new band, find a girl, find a guy, a show, a book. Anything but here. It’s not working….for YOU anymore. So? The problem isn’t the band members, or the concert attendees , or the folk who will watch the YouTube video…it’s YOU!
  6. Yeah, let’s do this again. 🤷‍♂️ 1. Atlantic City, House Of Blues 2-24-12 2. Atlantic City, Hard Rock, 9-11-21 3. East Rutherford, Met Life Stadium, 7-23-16 4. Philadelphia, Wells Fargo Center, 10-8-17 5. New York City, Hammerstein, 5-12-06 6. Camden, Susquehanna Bank Center, 11-26-11 7. Hershey, Hershey Stadium, 8-11-23 8. Hershey, Hershey Stadium, 8-13-17 9. East Rutherford, IZOD Center, 11-17-11 10. Wilkes Barre, Mohegan Sun Arena, 11-20-11 11. New York City, MSG, 11-10-06 12. Hershey, Hershey Stadium, 7-31-21 N/A: Philadelphia, Wells Fargo Center, 12-6-12 (no show/riot) & Philadelphia, Lincoln Financial Field, 7-14-16 (left early, security were absolutely terrible.)
  7. I’m sure we’ve had a million of these, if only Slash hadn’t left with those songs, if only Axl was better prepared for MTV 2002, if only Freese didn’t leave at the end of his contract, etc. But I thought of a new one, randomly tonight, 2:37 AM on Christmas Day haha. If only…there had been a release on DVD of that House Of Blues concert as rumored, people would’ve seen it in their Sam Goody & FYE & The Wall stores back then, and they would’ve known Axl still existed, and they may have sprung for, and enjoyed, the new show. By refusing the release, it made his “return” after 6-7 years totally not a big deal. It should’ve been produced, promoted, and fucking released. Axl may have maintained or restarted his relevance, and the new band would have a fucking existence & presence…
  8. I’d agree. The Beltrami work sounds similar (not sure if it’s part of the same?) but to me that makes it clear the two are related in some way. As one song? Ok obviously not at this point, but would monsters follow it on a hypothetical record? The Perhaps 8 Ball says “signs point to yes.”
  9. Yeah I mean, I know that’s the word, but in the instrumental, it sounds really strongly that there’s a female singer in the background. also, semantics but, “Monsters” hasn’t been “released.”
  10. I swear on a Monsters instrumental, I hear Melissa…but maybe I’m wrong/crazy or it’s just Axl or some voice effect.
  11. Yeah, me joking around about it probably half the product of me being used to hearing complaints about pretty much anything and everything, and half me just not knowing what the hell anyone means haha. But if I can’t hear the issues the complaints are about, I probably don’t wanna go out of my way to start hearing them either! Song works for me, so, I’d rather just leave it that way.
  12. Hearing Mr. Brownstone for the first time in my friend’s kitchen. I’m confused as to when it was, but it was before Illusions. And I remember I bought Illusions I and my friend bought II. I was immediately hooked on Estranged and Don’t Damn Me specifically, (among MANY OTHERS, of course) looked at the liner notes, and saw they were credited to (Rose.) Became an Axl guy from then on. Was extremely disheartened when they disappeared the second half of 93, didn’t care for “Sympathy” all that much, and the waiting began. When Slash left, then Duff, and the whole “new band” thing began, I was extremely skeptical, but I remembered…Estranged, November Rain, Don’t Damn Me, Breakdown, and thought well, he can do this. Followed stuff as much as I could, and eventually got my hands and ears on Rio bootlegs thanks to Napster. Hearing “The Blues” made me go, yep, he’ll be fine! Euro cancellations were a bummer, but when 2002 fired up, I had a feeling about the VMAs, and swore I’d seen a rebirth and an excellent performance. Course I realized later, ok, that was a little patchy, haha. Got tickets for both Philly nights, I was freshly 21, and I couldn’t wait. It felt almost like I would have a religious experience that night, but of course, I got nothing. Trying to find out what the F happened led me here and to HTGTH that very night, and I’ve been on the ride since. Silence from 2003-2006, basically, then the initial leaks, then to Hammerstein night one. Saw them again at MSG that year, but yes of course, the ChiDem rumored releases, and Axl’s hopeful/certain tone about the release, only for it not to show, that was a bitch. But I believed! Kept following, kept playing the hell out of whatever leaks came down the pike, much to the irritation of my friends, and even fellow bar patrons, when I’d give the DJ my CD of said leaks (play #3, that’s the best one!) Things were quiet on and off til the Rock Band thing, the DiCaprio movie, and finally the leaked audio from the Best Buy conference. I know I’m rambling here, but it’s actually very therapeutic. The release date came, but like a lot of us, I’d mostly spoiled it for myself, though I was SURE Better and SOD would break big time…they didn’t. So then it became, alright just tour again! I didn’t mind the 2009-2014 era so much, though Rio, the Neil Young thing, and the Golden Gods were tough “losses.” But in the midst of all that I saw Axl tear the house down in East Rutherford, Camden and Atlantic City, Estranged and Civil War came back, and man those days were GREAT. Actually got to meet Axl for just a second in AC that night. I was hoping and praying for more music, but at the same time I was loving the live shows I got to see so much, as well as following along with everything here. I was a die hard Axl guy, F Slash and all that. So the reunion news was…cool. But it was also like man, I don’t want Axl to “regress” to just cock rock. That didn’t happen, and I’m delighted every time a new North American set of dates come up, and I always see them at least once. It’s still fun to be a fan, man, especially at live shows. That VIBE…it’s my total happy place. Despite the OBVIOUS flaws in how the band can operate, lack of news, no new music (at one point,) sometimes it feels like a little lack of respect for the fans, I’m still here. Axl became like a hometown football team for me. I’m just always pulling for him. And like an aging franchise QB, I know he can put on an MVP performance again, I just know it. It hasn’t always been easy, Hershey 2021 was it? That was a tough one, along with some YT vids where it was clear he was struggling vocally, and had lost what he had in 2016. But then I was at AC 2021 Night One, and goddamned if he didn’t kick motherfuckin ass there! Absurd was out, Hard Skool was coming, and it was all good stuff again. I was in Hershey again this year, and I usually watch whatever streams I can, especially pro shots when they happen. And now we’ve got Perhaps and The General. Hey, it ain’t how other bands do it, but if I could love another band like GNR, either I would, or I flat out wouldn’t want to. I’m here. Axl’s lyrics etc, Slash & Bucket’s guitar playing, Duff & Tommy, Dizzy, Fortus, Brain & Frank…they’re ALL my guys. And I’ll always be on their team as long as they’re still suiting up. Can’t wait to see what’s next, and I hope if there’s a next tour, it’s similar to this year, with deep cuts, couple new songs, and a continuation of the energy and happiness Axl has shown, which to me, makes up for the struggles. Would I love a new record, or a ChiDem box set clearing the vault finally, or an Axl/Slash interview, or an Axl appearance on Rogan or Stern, or an Axl book? Fuck yeah. But I just take it as it comes, or I try to. I get frustrated like everyone else, but I just try to enjoy whatever we get and whatever that is, because one day, it’s all going to be over. Oh, and Axl’s lyrics helped me begin writing, which I’ll always be eternally grateful for. So I’m here, and I wait and anticipate, and appreciate, and hope. Man, thanks for this thread. That felt good haha. Never wrote it all out like that, and I’m sure I missed a lot! But thanks for reading, if you did.
  13. Yeah, the rockingest 58 minutes ever! Gotta get outta the show to go…wait for the next GNR show. Or for a song to come out with a missed kick drum. Whichever…
