Outside of us on the forum, people have no idea they do BHS and it gets a good reception. We have a completely different perspective, because we've known for 6 weeks already they do that, but for 99% of the people there, it's a nice surprise. I agree.

I was surprised they kept on playing it, only expected it the once but the song/Chris obviously meant more to Axl than anyone realised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think most people necessarily compare them to other bands, everyone knows GnR (or Axl) is a one of a kind. But there are dead people releasing way more music than Axl, who is presumably always working on music, and you think it's strange that fans express their disappointment in that? 11 hours ago, bucketfoot said: Very few, really, put out truly high quality work over a long period of time, obviously there are a few exceptions. I guess it's subjective, but there are more than a few exceptions. You don't know a lot of great bands/artists if you really believe that. Go check out some more music. 11 hours ago, bucketfoot said: Some bands burn bright for a short period of time and that's it Yeah, and then they break up, but that's the thing... Axl kept this GnR name alive and what does he have to show for it in all those years? One album and some tours where he played mostly very old songs? It's great if you're happy with that, but it's not unfair that other people are disappointed and express their opinion. You surely understand that. 11 hours ago, bucketfoot said: Again though, if it doesn't, is it really going to affect my life negatively in any way? No, of course not. I don't think there's anyone who takes it all that seriously, except for maybe a few. Doesn't mean you can't be critical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that hard to read between the lines. Since when Cornell is one of his favorite artist? We've seen Axl with Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Freddie Mercury tribute/Brian May, Sebastian Bach. When Chris Cornell invited Axl to anything or care about him?

Give us a good reason why BHS is being played every show. While better known and popular GN'R are being swap around. because they maybe fucking enjoy playing that song? How self righteous and egoistic do you have to be to not get that. They don't have to fucking please you, you get that, right? I just dont get it how people can get so butthurt about them playing one song they don't like. Is that really worth it getting so frustrated about? Seriously. It doesnt sound very healthy to me.

No, because its this sickness of this generation, that not until everything is being done according how people want it, these people will never get some satisfaction. It's never enough, there's always something.... and even if its one of a gazillion fukcing songs per show, that they dont like.

They can do whatever they want and conversely people will have an opinion on it. I totally agree that clogging up show threads with repetitive complaints gets tedious and we do try to minimise that to some extent. But the logical conclusion to GNR can do what they like and we have to accept it without question is that we could go to a show one day, find half the setlist is Justin Bieber covers and have to like it. I'm being facetious of course but there has to be some wiggle room in discourse for differing opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like people can voice theire disbelief about people moaning about everything. its' a vicious circle that can only be broken, if gnr play every song they have and know at every show and axl will go to a time machine and bring the 88-Axl back Just now, Oldest Goat said: Besides @xBrownstonex you got to go to like 5 shows so you really have nothing to complain about you entitled prick!
