AxlRoseCDII Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just now, WhazUp said: All the late night shows bash Trump and they get millions and millions of viewers every night. Pearl Jam bashed Bush Jr. many many times, I can go on. I don't think it is a bad move, the number of potential ticket sales lost in the US due to a Trump pinata is so minimal that it is most likely not even worth worrying about from a financial point of view And not really even close to half the country voted for him, only nearly half of the number of people who voted - and even then a lot of those votes were not enthusiastically for him but rather enthusiastically against the opposition, but that is another can of worms in its own right lol Even if it wasn't a bad move financially (although I still think that's up to debate), I think morally that was a bad move- and again, I'm not against freedom of speech. I don't necessarily think Trump is a great guy, but I don't care if its Hilary, Bernie...anyone, it's morally fucked to hang an effigy of a world leader and beat it up. There are so many other ways the band can get out their frustrations, I would've loved an Axl rant or two or maybe the follow up to CD, "American Democracy" or whatever and enjoyed it but I think smashing a doll of a leader in front of tens of thousands of people was a stupid, stupid move.

gnr5 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Chill out! GNR did worst shit throughout 87-93 than this. The StLouis riot didnt stop ticket sales back then, is not gonna stop it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect more class out of this band who plans to do a tour in that country they just pissed on. Gnr has every right to express their political views and you have every right to encourage this band. That being i completely support what gnr thinks of trump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajandreas Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Why are we still discussing this? If anything the people in the forum are making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post downzy Posted December 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2016 At this point we already have another thread discussing the merits of the Trump piñata. This thread should be used to discuss the performance of the show. Any and all posts that are not related to GNR have been removed. Many people do not want to talk about American politics. Those who do should do so in the topics/threads we already have going on the matter. Thanks for your cooperation. ------------------- Really loved Use to Love Her and Yesterdays in the setlist. Would be great if they became staples or were rotated with a few other songs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Black Sabbath Posted December 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2016 My camera was dying going into the show, so I had to be quick when I took pictures and wasn't able to take my time to get the best, but I got some decent shots. Here they are: 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourites are 8 down and 12 down and the last one of the pinata Haha, no, I'm not. But thank you! Always appreciate the praise from pictures I post, though I don't ever think they're that great. But if people like them, I'll continue to do my best taking them - from the front row! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't typically write reviews, but all I'll say is it was one of the best shows I've seen out of 10 shows this year, atmosphere, setlist, and performance-wise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
