Lio Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 2 hours ago, AlexC said: I'm pretty sure it's brand new. TW Classic posted it on their Facebook page on April 12. Not brand new. That was the first time I've seen it. I remember wondering if they'd put it together themselves. Of course it's very selective. It's clear only Axl, Slash and Duff are in this reunion. If they would've included Steven and Izzy, I'm sure there would be backlash as well, with people saying 'they're in the video, people will expect them on the tour', as some people are really frustrated by their not being there, which I get. But it is what it is. No use crying about it. The whole CD era only got a footnote as well, that is because this video is about this tour, and this tour doesn't feature Izzy and Steven as band members. I like the video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabanana Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 So they're rewriting history now. So insensitive and tone deaf on the band or band managements part. Unbelievable! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 None of that is untrue. Not mentioning people isn't the same as saying they were never there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lies They Tell Posted May 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) People seem to be overreacting. All they really said in the video was that Slash and Duff left the band and came back, which is all true. There's no talk about who were the founders of the band and who wrote what. There's no talk about Tracii Guns, Ole Bleich, Gilby Clarke, Paul Huge, Buckethead, Robin Finck, Bumblefoot etc... There's not even talk about any current members other than Axl, Slash and Duff. It's just a very compact video about GNR and it's not even supposed to be the full history of the band. Everything they said in the video is true. They didn't rewrite the history in any way. They just focused on a certain part of it. Edited May 20, 2017 by Lies They Tell 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting a historical timeline and erasing two founding members like they didn't even exist is pretty disrespectful. There's no reason why they couldnt be on that timeline. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexC Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I thought it was cool. Don't see the issue tbh. If Steven and Izzy were included people would still bitch anyway, it's only a video. Get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the video pointed out at the end the date when Slash and Duff left. They could've mentioned as well that Izzy and Adler were band members in the begining and also the date they left. TSI is mentioned. they could said Sorum and Gilby colaborated. CD seems to be a mere foot note. They could've mentioned the 2001 line up. It would've added just a few more seconds in the video. I don't think it was that hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 It's no secret that the NITL tour is focussed on Axl, Slash and Duff. But I have a question. Do you think that Duff would be there if Tommy woud have been able to tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been a gradual progression/thawing of feelings. Would Slash have joined without Duff? I think probably not but I'm not 100% sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post beautifulanddamned Posted May 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2017 It's not a video about the history of GNR. Just Axl, Slash and Duff's history in the band. It would be different if even Fortus and Frank were mentioned, but they weren't because it's not about any other members. The worst thing you can say about it is that it's slightly tone deaf coming at the start of a summer where fans are looking forward to some celebration of the anniversary of AFD, and the acknowledgement of the AFD5. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was able to join GN'R with Richard, Frank and Melissa as band mates. Tommy would have been another remaining piece of NuGN'R.
