Lio Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Only now seen the clip. I'm not shouting reunion, but it is strange they only show the classic lineup and the 'classic' albums (AFD, Lies, UYI 1&2 and TSI?)Putting this together with the platinum CD gifts and DJ's 'I look forward to record with Axl, only time will tell', I think GNR as we knew it these last years is finished.

magisme Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Even a shitty slot machine company rejects CD. Flying above the UK right now. I just shitted on your grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSeeker Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I like how all that HD footage from the Use Your Illusion tour is finally put to use. In a slot machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Reunion starts now.... Obviously it's on a slot machine type of thing, so it's not a major big deal. But would this not mean that all the classic members would have had to approve their likeness being used in such a manner? Especially Slash, given the history I don't think he would let Axl use his image to make money unless they have spoken of recent. It just seems very odd...

dalsh327 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Notice nothing from ChiDem was "represented", never mind blood boiling, it's not even simmering.When it comes to this era of GNR, Slash, Axl and Duff would be involved in approving it. A few years ago this would have been unthinkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I througed it's a announcment for Guitar Hero Guns N' RosesAfter the chinese democracy rockband game flopped I don't think gnr will do more games for kids who have a XboxActually, it was announced recently that the Rock Band franchise is going to be rebooted. It would be a good idea to promote #lolnewmusic through this. But that will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 How people spot this stuff I don't know, interesting all the same! 2012? wasn't that the same year that Gene said Axl needed a beating, and did KISS say something about Doc McGhee not representing GnR, as if he was he wouldn't be representing KISS anymore? I would have thought Axl and KISS were no longer on speaking terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised Axl agreed to license something with the old band members images and likenesses (he seems to be cooling on that), but I'm shocked he & TB allowed something to appear that ignores Chinese Democracy.

If it was in fact irrelevant, people would not have talked about it so much leading to its release, it would not have been such a big deal when the sound of the album was completely different to old guns, and most importantly if it was irrelevant we would not still be talking about it 7+ yrs on... before you say it, rock media still talk about it too (occasionally), it's not just GnR nerds.

magisme Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's pretty much just GNR nerds and nostalgia rock media once in a blue moon. It's sad, but that's what Axl did to the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerTornado Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) I hadn't listened to Chinese Democracy in a while, went back and listened through CD twice about a weeks ago. It is a great album. People that hated it didn't understand it. Seemed to expect Appetite for Destruction II and forgot about the direction the band was going with the Illusions. It was a shock many couldn't get over and instead of spending time with it, threw it aside. The industry had changed many times and so had the versions of pretty much each song in that time in development. I like the description of 'misunderstood masterpiece'. Funny thing is, had it been more reminiscent of AFD, people would have probably bitched that he hadn't changed with the times and was a stuck in the 80s hermit. There was no way Axl was going to win with the masses. No matter how good it was, it wasn't going to justify the years in development, at least in the eyes of the public.

Val22 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Reunion? Maybe a new casino named after GNR?It would be nice if someone from the GNR camp would say something?Yeah, strange that they just showed images of the original GNR members and didn't show any pictures of Chinese Democracy either?I'm pretty sure someone from the GNR camp had to okay this? I'm sure Axl has to know about it. Nothing GNR goes without Axl's knowledge.I'm confused, but then again, I don't play video games, so I have no idea what this all means.

Subtle Signs Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 When I win 100 million dollars playing this game I'm going to book a GNR reunion show and fly all MYGNRFORUM members to the gig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 People that hated it didn't understand it. What did you expect going in? I didn't know what to expect. It had been some 17 years since we got original music from Axl. You see, there's a group of you on the forum who have a hard time with simple concepts like differing opinions and differing values, so when someone disagrees with you, you have to scramble around creating nefarious reasons for their disagreement so that the world makes sense to you. It ain't all that, buddy. Some of us just think the album isn't good and that's all there is to it. I know, absolute shocker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It has some good moments but when you listen to Scraped and Shackler's and realise Axl has spent ten years making an album which includes these turds, it makes you think, ''what the heck?'. If you are going to spend a decade on an album it simply has to be an 100% masterpiece, of Pet Sounds proportions, and not contain clangers like those two and If the World. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
