  1. I still love the Don't Cry video. I love the running on the roof, the three Axls in therapy, absolutely love it, always have and probably always will :lol: Loved the November Rain video, but that was already a bit over the top. Estranged was plain cringe to me. Maybe because by that time I was a year older and a bit embarrassed about my being a GNR fan by then. I have never liked the Estranged video and it seemed out of place and out of time.

    Tbh, I'm happy they even consider making videos nowadays. You can't compare now with then. We watched videos all day, I had tapes and tapes of MTV videoclips etc. Those days are over. And I can't imagine Axl, Slash and Duff acting in a videoclip nowadays :lol: Just imagine, Axl, Beta, Fernando, Vanessa and the kids sitting at the table having lunch, or splashing by the pool, while Slash and Duff drop by with their wives.

    Back then it was a thing to do, so even if it was over the top, it was alright imo (although like I said, Estranged has always made me feel uncomfortable). But now? I would think their only option would be something like a cartoon or whatever, or have a video with live footage, behind the scenes or on stage.

  2. Some years ago I was sure Axl and Beta were actually married, with maybe her allowing Axl to have flings or whatever with other women. Which could explain for the 18 year old girl whose ass he was grabbing some ten years ago (I think?). But I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me at least. 

    And even if they're married, I've never heard of Beta pushing female fans away. On the contrary, I've heard of a few fans (male and female) who got to meet Axl thanks to Beta. (Just meeting him btw, no romantic/sexual meetings.) So whatever it is, I don't think she's the jealous or insecure type :lol:

    It is considered one of the nicest cities in south Germany, with a very well preserved old city and a nice castle on the hill above. It is a university city which is vibrant and with lots of nice restaurants, pubs and cafes. It is also small enough to walk everywhere. And the surrounding region has lots of nice wineries, castles and nature. 

    I'm sure it's great and worth the visit, it just seemed random to me that someone from Detroit (I think) would be interested in just that particular city.

    I watched a documentary about Liquido's song "Narcotic" recently and they visited the singer in Heidelberg because that's where he wrote the song. It's only 4 hours from here but I had never heard about it before. Looks like a charming town, though.

    Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one :lol: I have been thinking lately that Germany is a country I have barely visited at all, even if it's closeby (some of it is anyway). I seem to always end up in the Netherlands or France if I'm going for a short holiday abroad.

    No disrespect to Beta. Yeah her promotion to now former manager was gradual. I'm sure the same was the case for Fernando. If they've acquired all this experience then it's pretty embarrassing. I'm familiar of the history of past managers. At least between say 86-99 we got a bunch of studio albums, a live album, a concert on two videos and three making of videos. What have we gotten from TB's era of management? The Chinese Democracy album, Appetite For Democracy two years after the shows and several very pricey editions of Appetite and Illusions each released a year after their actual anniversaries.

    No, as I understood it, she told Axl: Me and my family will be managing everything now. If you say no, we're leaving.

    Nothing gradual about it. I personally think anyone would be a better manager after all the experience they've had, even with no formal education. They seem to get everything wrong all the time.
