31illusions Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I see alot of speculation on this forum about the release of CD II even though there has never been a single word spoken about it coming out officially.Do we, the fans and media actually have any influence on Axl to release it? Seems like there was so much pressure built up behind CD before it came out and then it did (eventually). Do you think we can get Axl to put this thing out if we don't shut up about it and keep pressuring him for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderScott Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Dude - really? Ok then, I will look up Axl's phone number in the White Pages and ask him nicely to release new music asap and tour Australia in 2012... Anything else while i got him on the line?

packersnroses Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I'm sure Axl is motivated to satisfy us with what people think GnR should be, living up to the name and whatever. But not the forums specifically. Edited February 12, 2012 by packersnroses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I think we have an effect on Axl, and I think Axl cares a lot about what we think. Otherwise we wouldn't've gotten Estranged and Civil War. On the other hand, he won't let it affect him to a point where he has to compromise himself.

Apollo Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 So weird that people act like Axl has no obligation to his fans.Most musicians care a lot about their fans. Fans are the difference between a musician living in an apartment and playing clubs in front of 100 people as opposed to playing in front of thousands, traveling the world, millions of dollars and living in 25,000 square foot houses.

Probably better off badgering Bumblefoot.It's funny to me how Axl talks. Like why can't he just say "I don't care what you think...I do what I want." It's like he wants to be perceived as being smart and articulate...I mean, honestly, I have a higher education than Axl...not saying he's not a musical genius and one of the greatest lyricists of all time, but come on...

I talk like that in real life, and I don't even realize I'm doing it until someone points it out. On the other hand, you can tell when someone's doing it specifically to look intelligent. You'd have to physically see him say it to make a judgment about that, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBrownstone Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 where did you find that quote in your sig? Did Axl say that? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) where did you find that quote in your sig? Did Axl say that? lolI actually found it somewhere on this forum. Apparently, Axl said it. I thought it was hilarious, so I sig'd it.Edit:Axl categorically denies there will be a GN’R reunion & defends Chinese Democracy against the naysayers in an all-new interview.Axl Rose has taken part in a brand new Q&A with Billboard.Amongst the highlights, Axl speaks on the possibility of a GN’R reunion:“I could see doing a song or so on the side with Izzy [stradlin] or having him out [on tour] again. I’m not so comfortable with doing anything having more than one of the alumni. Maybe something with Duff [McKagan], but that’s it, and not something I’d have to really get down into, as I’d get left with sorting it out and then blamed on top of it. So, no, not me.”“In regards to Slash, I read a desperate fan’s message about, what if one of us were to die and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now, blah blah blah. And my thoughts are, “Yeah, and while you’re at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.”“Give me a fucking break. What’s clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man.”“There are acts that, once committed between individuals, they are what they are. To add insult to injury almost day after day, lapsing into year after year, for more than a decade, is a nightmare. Anyone putting his own personal entertainment above everything else is sickening.” Edited February 12, 2012 by Kill Devil Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketQueenGNR Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 No, we don't have the influence to force him bringing a new album out.About CW and Estranged: That's a different story. It's easier to play a song than release an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to play a song than release an album.I think those songs added to the setlist prove that Axl does care enough about what we think. That's all I'm saying. I don't think we can pressure an album out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who gets straight Ds who's smarter than our valedictorian. 2 of the guys in front of me are complete morons. School/grades/education level really don't depict an accurate assessment of who's smart and who's not. I also think intelligence can be subjective. You may find people who can spout off about quantum physics the smartest of the group, but I think people who can come up with creative solutions are the most intelligent. Like Bruce Dickinson. He didn't complete college, but if you hear an interview with him, I bet he'd knock the socks off a doctor or a rocket scientist. He just thinks differently than most people do.

DrBrownstone Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 This isn't a subject I really even care to get into, to be honest. I realize the other side of the argument. But someone who has the drive and desire to get a higher education is smarter in my mind than someone who drops out of high school but can speak articulately and write well. You can also say that someone with a phd in a certain field is smart in that area but doesn't know shit about 95% of the rest of the things there are to learn in life. Someone with no education can in fact be very intelligent. This is common knowledge. It's all subjective. But saying high school dropouts are smarter than college graduates is just not a rational argument. It's a copout for people who are lazy.P.S. I only went to a year of college before joining the military. So I'm admitting I'm a retard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
