magisme Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) That's not how that reads, but OK. Then I still think your point is crap. I can't believe this has to be reiterated again, but this is not a forum dedicated exclusively to NuNuNu Guns, no matter what Beta and Fernando want. Someone can loath the current band to the depths of their soul and still be a legitimate poster. Edited February 1, 2014 by magisme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah I'm sure they're ecstatic that their main purpose as a group is mainly playing songs of a band they weren't even fans of . What musician would be happy having the central focus of their career being dedicated to playing songs they just feel "meh" about? That's totally different from hiring somebody from a different group you didn't like to play in your band. And it's certainly obvious Axl's not motivated when he's just clearly (effortlessly) going through the motions. And it's certainly obvious that Bumble is openly frustrated.It's been clear to me personally that this "band" isn't striving to do anymore than just tour for money for a solid year now. But I can't fathom how anybody could have the expectation they'll ever do anything creative again at this point. It's clear as day this all about keeping Axl's bank account balanced now. Nothing more, nothing less.Just because they weren't fans of the band before, that does not preclude them from enjoying playing the songs now. It's clear as day that all musicians make their living and balance their bank accounts by playing music.None of us really know how the guys feel about playing these shows. They could find them incredibly fun. We don't know. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone can loath the current band to the depths of their soul and still be a legitimate poster.Don't get snotty. 'I would never drop money on something like GNR' was clearly in response to your point about betting. But OK.Fine. I'm just not sure why anybody would be interested in discussing something that doesn't exist anymore. I mean, it's cool if you're just interested in Chinese Democracy (as that's fairly recent and there's still a possibility we might hear more material from that era). But shitting over the new era constantly? Find something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could find them incredibly fun. We don't know. AliWe know because they said they weren't fans of the music themselves. I'm not buying that their personal music taste would just change all of the sudden after doing the same ol same ol year in and year out with Axl. C'mon now . Its a nice paying and consistent job for musicians that have otherwise limited alternatives for the same. It's not exactly difficult putting the puzzle pieces together based on all the information we have.Yes musicians make money on their music, Ali. I never disputed that. But it's become clear as day nu guns is still around SOLELY to keep Axl's bank account afloat. Not to be creative. Not to make and/or (God willing) share art. It's solely a cash grab now. And it's sad all those wasted years amounted to so little 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumbleine Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm VERY ambivalent about going.i think i actually have the funds and if it's in april/may,the time.but I at the same time refuse to see Axl,the man that inspired me,go to waste before myvery eyes.is it so hard to surprise a bit or pretend you care?they need IMO to open with a song that's not CD or Jungle.NIghttrain maybe like the old days or really whatever,just entertain me.it's BORING with minimal changes over a 5 year tour.in regards to new songs,I'm all for it.drop the embarrasing,show stopping(in a bad way)solo spots.let's hear a new tune written by Rose/Ashba/Fortus or whatever.just.....make things interesting againgive me a reason to go.

hellobeatle Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you told me in 1992 that this band would turn into a Las Vegas novelty act with only Axl, I would've laughed. It's really not funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy, I think we're all disillusioned with GnR. This Vegas thing can be positive if there's new material to promote, otherwise it's just another step down nostalgia lane, they don't even have to change set lists now as they haven't released the DVD.I find it hard to take Ron's advice on "enjoy what gnr do and not what they don't do", nice but most would prefer there to be no GnR than for them to turn in to some lame touring act spewing out the hits, without an ounce of the original ethos of the band.I'm tired of it, we're all tired of it... lets see what happens I suppose, just don't expect much from them - I still hope to be proven wrong but I'm doubtful.

So I could give these volcano-ish posters (like NGOG) the same advice. Log out. There's Jarmo's forum and MSL's forum where you're basically forbidden of having a negative opinion. It's the perfect place for the overly-sensitive Axl fans.There are TWO boards that are all about the new band, and yet the sensitive Axl fans prefer to post here. I simply don't understand these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
