Stress Fracture

Why is Fortus constantly allowed to come out with this year after year when it appears that everyone else is ordered to keep quiet? Is it some kind of in-joke that Axl finds funny?

“I don’t love being in the studio, I like playing live.” ]

Axl: “Okay, it’s 2019, let’s get in the studio and get this new album done.” Fernando: “Hold up, I’ve just been handed some old demos that we could sell instead.” Axl: “Cool. Let’s go home.”

That sounds both like an AC/DC parody and exactly what Axl/DC music would sound like and be called.

A number of complaints are about not getting Paradise City, Nightrain and Patience and a set filled with solos and ill-fitting covers, including this review. https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/music/review-guns-n-roses-start-well-then-well-1.795947 So it’s a shame they didn’t make the most of the unfortunate situation and decide on a more focused two hour show with all the usual filler removed beforehand. It’s just unfortunate that you turn up to a truncated NITL show and still have to put up with Wichita Lineman when Axl could have easily done Patience in its place.

I’d be more optimistic about it happening if he’d said not in this lifetime. There’s absolutely no chance of Axl getting around to something if the timescale is some point in the future.

Axl probably considers every track on CD a demo that could have done with a couple more decades in the oven.

His hair looks much like anyone’s would if they’d just been told by the police to take off the bandana that they’d been wearing all day for a mugshot.

Despite CD songs being played by Slash and Duff on the tour, I think Axl and Slash settling their differences does more to invalidate everything that happened under the GNR name between 1996-2016. Likewise, Slither isn’t now validated as a GNR song because Axl has agreed to cover it live with Slash and Duff.

Sounds like The Cramps to me. I can’t complain about that.

That’s pretty much the only reason beyond collecting. There’s no benefits to listening to cassettes in 2018. That said, I always thought cassettes had the best spines and looked cool on shelves. That’s half the battle!

Jon Bon Jovi’s voice is completely gone. He can’t even do the verses which are basically him talking in a low voice while standing motionless without sounding like he’s in agony. Axl is simply asking too much of himself. If he did a show the same length as the Ritz in 88, it might be a different story.

If they break the record, it will be a hollow victory after all the time it took to do so, but there's no point in changing the name if they’re not going to change the set.

From the bits I’ve heard, it doesn’t deserve to be compared to Berlin. They couldn’t even do the full set there.
