Let's assume the worst and agree they are doing it just to "look good".... Who cares anyway, right? There's got to be somebody out there saying these things, sending a message that is good. For whatever reasons they do it, the message is still good: accept other people the way they are and don't fucking kill them! All these musicians, artists and politicians have that power in a microphone so they better do something good with their power and deliver some goodness for the masses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you aren't following along...this whole discussion is about something posted on GnRs social media....now I'd agree the U2/Coldplay stuff is a bit off topic, but in general the whole discussion revolves around something posted on GnRs social media. Isn't this thread entitled "GnR social media update discussion". If the intent of the thread is to just post the updates then the word discussion should be removed right? And the words "updates only, no discussion" be put in its place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually looking forward (and figuratively got the popcorn ready) for a heated argument between you and DieselDaisy. Both of you are combative and somewhat stubborn lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Dieseldaisy is just very childish and predictive. He uses every chance he gets to bash the band for whatever reason. So its not even very clever at this point, but just tiring. He must have a lot of anger in him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's difficult to know where to draw the line in discussion stemming from social media posts. I guess a rule of thumb would be when the conversation becomes totally about another band/s it's time to rein it in. Not surprised to see the Pink Slips opening, I wondered when they would make appearance - I was half expecting LA but Seattle makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just try to keep it to discussions that stem from GN'R Social Media posts is all. Of course it's all subjective, but the above discussion seemed to be connected directly to that IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asia Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather see some good rock band being given a chance and not necessarily one that is there only because the singer is Duff's daughter. But fortunately it's far away from me so I don't need to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
