The quotes page is bullshit.

Interesting. But why? Why now? Why like this? Is Fernando going somewhere, hmm? And why are there only 2023 images? Weird, unexpected, but ok, I guess we shall see what it's all about. Maybe they should put "stay tuned" there, like back then.

Anything that starts with "the band's manager, Fernando Lebeis, ..."

Would be great, but I don't see that as a real option. Beta is basically Axl's surrogate mother, and Nando is, well, her son. They've lived with him in his own house - they're not going anywhere. The only hope I'd see in this would be if Slash/Duff interfered a little bit and tried suggesting something to Axl every now and then. Some incentive on their part could set at least some things in motion.

You’re absolutely right, of course. They are terrible at this. But I was gonna say "mind you, you should expect the local forum police coming at you soon with such stuff as they don’t owe us anything, people just keep complaining, move on, etc." – and voila, there you go. There’s undoubtedly loads of material that could be released, even if in some inferior Youtube quality, but Axl just won’t release old stuff, and TB - the so-called management team - are living the golden life, so why would they rock the boat by nagging him about anything. At least we have bootlegs...

Yeah well, it’s still nasty. And I wouldn’t consider losing some trivial money on this as such a huge issue for a band that made half a billion only during the first two years of the reunion tour. In any case, it’s a bit too unfair towards some fans, that's pretty clear.

Idk any precise demand numbers, but let's say they could have gone half-way, kept it somewhere at 150 and give it another couple of years. The goal would have been still achieved imo.

Is it just me or... I mean, a sale is always nice, but shouldn't they have had the decency to still keep it at some at least reasonable price instead of this blatant spitting in the face of those who bought it at the full price not so long ago?

At one point at some 2022/23 gig, in the middle of a song, he walked towards the side of the stage where she was sitting, hugged (and maybe kissed) her, and then walked back and continued the song. I mean, I wish the man the best and it’s none of my business anyway, and if this is what he needs to feel good, then kudos and all that, but like you say, it’s definitely bizarre. On one of these photos, she reminds me of a tick on someone’s back. Or something like the overprotective mother from the Pink Floyd’s The Wall animations, if you know what I mean. Weird. But hey, if this is what keeps him going... Anyway, I definitely haven't seen anything like that with any other of those rock stars, that's for sure.

All's cool. Beta holding an umbrella over him is definitely lame in any case. I'd expect something like that from Michael Jackson maybe.

Feels like they're 15 and it's 1992, but oh well. Anyway, what does this have to do with a sexual assault allegation? Were band-aids involved? Did he use them to stick her on the bed or something? Or do they fall off him everywhere he walks/runs? Or how do we know they're his own? So many questions!

I see it as a sort of a natural orgasm. I mean, with Axl, he’s forced to do essentially the same tour and play the same songs for years on. So once freed, the dude fricking flies!

Ha, I got Ashba's Badge of Shame! You know what, I'll take it. I'll take it, goddamn it. I'll just smash the mic and I'm out of here. Hand me that shirt. Hand me that shirt!!!

Can't wait for this goddamn album!

All resistance is futile! It’s just his typical way of attributing something to someone that they never said and just using strawman arguments all over. I wasn’t talking about Axl or decision-making, I wasn’t denying anyone their preferences or whatever, which I even explicitly stated above and then repeated several times. I was talking about the majority who attend the gig to see Axl standing next to Slash, playing SCOM. These people are gonna wanna hear Slash on the solos, not Finck or Bucket or whoever the hell, and that's only logical. SM is using textbook logical fallacy, deliberately misunderstanding and twisting shit around into nonsense as usual, that’s all. I guess he can’t help himself. I’ve just wasted another few minutes of my time, but I can live with that and hopefully learn a lesson...

Well, your opinion that I’m blatantly wrong can’t be right for the simple reason that you clearly insist on misconstruing what my entire argument is about in the first place... I can't help you there, buddy.

No, it doesn't. For the third time, I'm not talking about preferences. I'm talking about apples, while you're talking about oranges. Simple as that. If you don't wanna see my point, that's fine with me. I think there's no need to continue this.

Again, nope. I think you’re only arguing for the sake of arguing. You’d know what I mean if you really wanted to look at things from the other one’s point of view. But ok, I’ll bite once again. In layman’s terms: we often talk about these "casuals", comprising the majority of the concert goers etc. For these folks, GN'R means Axl, Slash, Duff and the others. The guys from the heydays, who made Appetite and UYI, having created the world stardom. So far so good? The last album of original music these guys made is from 1991. Since Slash is back, whatever the band will release will be considered as their first record since 91. And an average intelligent person could imagine these folks' reaction if, instead of Slash, the solos were done by some former members from an era 25 years ago where, to the knowledge of many, the band either was on hiatus or possibly was considered an Axl solo only. Again, they didn’t wait for Slash for 20 years to come back (one of the biggest, most awaited reunions in rock history) to then have some nameless replacements playing the solos on the comeback album. I'm not talking about any personal preferences here. I can’t explain it any simpler than that. Then again, I don't think there's any real need to.

Nope, I’m not talking about preferences, which obviously differ (younger folks may prefer the NuGuns era, because it was active in their teenage years etc., that’s understandable). I’m talking about basic logic, which is intertwined with the band’s legacy and history and songs. The valid argument as to what I mean is in my preceding post. I don't think it needs any further explanation.

It's not about respect or Axl's whims; it's about basic logic. The fans didn't wait for Slash to return for 20 years only to subsequently hear some replacement guys (sorry) playing the guitar on the new album. Makes no sense.

Did you guys always know that the round (UYI) logo is a view of a bullet from below? Been a fan since 1992, yet I only learned this in 2016 when they came up with the somewhat polished version of the logo...

I've watched it exactly once in this lifetime.

Maybe he got laid?

This YT channel has several full show bootlegs, and none of them has been taken down.

Holy fuck
