When your heros give only apologies, I won't deny, that's Axl Rose

Real lyrics to the song 'heros' by Slash.

Kind of makes you think of Axl and his 'apology' for a band.

Nah, new Guns are a great band. If you don't like it, just don't listen.

They are not guns n roses.

You could copyright the word 'cat' and then legally claim that dogs must be called cats, but you known what....they still ain't cats.

Axl rose was cool once, many people would have considered him one of the great rock singers and frontmen.

These days he just dissapoints people.

Keep licking his ass.

How many lineup changes are you going to stick by? How many times will you defend that 'its a great band'?

There are hundreds of great guns n roses tribute bands, thousands upon thousands of people who can perform those guitar and drum parts just as well. Why? Because they just need to learn the parts. Sure, they play well, but they aint guns n roses and they are letting people down by posing as them.

The current form of GnR is Guns and Roses, it's a fact. If you choose not to accept it, that's your prerogative, but it doesn't then mean your will makes it so they are not Guns and Roses. Now if you were to say this current lineup of Guns and Roses is not the same as the previous lineups, you'd be correct. But to state they are not Guns is incorrect. So many other bands have had changes in personel, so it's not an uncommon occurrence. Yet they all still keep trucking on with the same name as well. No different to GnR.

Yes, they aren't the old band, the one you like, but they're called Guns N' Roses and are the new lineup of said band. If it offends you, just don't take the name too seriously <_<

What makes them the same as the band that put out Appetite for Destruction other than an arbitrary title? Fucking nothing. Just a cover band. Maybe if they stood on their own they'd get some respect from people who aren't on internet message boards.

This.

If they are a great band then fine. Prove yourself on you OWN material. Bring out some albums that will fill arenas with people who want to hear THOSE songs. Don't just play other peoples songs an cash in on other peoples success.

Axl had a HAND in writing some of that stuff so what we got here is 'The Axl Rose band'.

Bands like lynyrd skynyrd and thin lizzy tour...they aint the bands they pretend to be either. (Very fitting that 'Thin Lizzy' is opening for 'guns n roses' now)

Replacing one or two members is ok, if they work musically together and still write good music that is true to the spirit of the original focus.

To replace the whole fucking band and 'keep trucking' under the old name is disgusting.

Look at Audioslave for instance.....thats basically the inverse of what we have here with guns...............THEY CHANGED THEIR NAME, BECAUSE IT WASNT RATM OR SOUNDGARDEN. TO SAY IT WAS WOULD BE WRONG.

Let them have their own name and see what they can do in their own right.

Anyone that considers them true guns n roses is just delusional.

There are plenty of legacy bands out there with only one or two original members living off the old hits and NuGuns is just one of them.

Nothing unusual about it......

'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet'

He is cashing in on the fame and success and popularity of the old band, while pretending to have integrity with his shitty new music that took 15 years. The man is a joke..lives with a surrogate family who babies and looks after him, isn't married, etc etc. He is no longer a rock god, he is just a sad old man, lacking in talent who is desperately cashing those checks to keep himself in yellow raincoats.

When a bands members are as iconic as in guns n roses it is a travesty to keep the name going when its a different band.

Would you accept the rolling stones with just mick and none of the others?

Would you accept the beatles with just paul and a new band?

Look its the beatles! We could a have a GENUINE beatles tour today even though two of them are dead!

How about aerosmith with just tyler?

Like I said NuGuns is like any other legacy band cashing in on the old hits. whether you like it or not is immaterial as there is nothing unique in what Axl is doing as artists have been doing it since the 50's
