I get A&E is generally sensationalized reality TV, but this video is basically the entire lyrical plot of the song Monsters to a tee.

On the most recent episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (S12E05), Larry claims to have seen two WNBA games in a conversation with Susie, who is wearing a Guns N' Roses t-shirt. I'm not saying Guns N Roses management secretly planted that clip to get us hyped up for the 2024 WNBA finals, but why else would it be there? I guess we find out in October. Maybe they debut Atlas there and we finally get the EP.

I reported OP to the mods ages ago and they did nothing. You'd think I asked them to record vocals or something.

Probably the best post I have ever seen on a GNR forum except for that time someone did that bit pretending to be Axl going after a female mod or something.

Hello, First and foremost, thank you for being a fan of American rock band Guns N Roses. I Bill Axl Rose am aware that there are people online who impersonate me with take social media profiles on MySpace. I am sitting here with my friend Saul (Slash) getting ready to record vocals for a new song. I thought I would take time out of the session to tell you not to worry about the impersonators. Actually, there is a way you can kindly help me! The man who runs the studio needs payment right away so that I can finish Legend Of Red Panda great new rock and roll album with new vocals recorded in years after 1999. The problem is that my money is tied up in the not in the lifetime tour. If you could kindly acquire $300 in iTunes gift cards, I Bill Rose Axl of band Guns and Roses can finally finish long awaited album. I eagerly in kind hope to hear back from you greatest fan of all time who makes album (and maybe romance with major American Rockstar Bill Rose) possible. Yours in regards kindly, Jon Bon Jovi

The WNBA players aren't big names like the NBA players, but the league has managed to stick around for a few decades and continue to find a place for itself against all odds. They are almost like the Gilby Clarke of sports.

It's the little victories. Taking the WNBA half time act from Ashanti could be the sea change the world needs to show that rock bands can handle major half time shows. As of now, I'm not sure the CFL would let GNR play The General during the Grey Cup, they are used to more mainstream acts like Green Day - but I think if Axl goes to the WNBA final and kills it, then Randy Ambrosie would have no choice but to consider whether a medley of Absurd, The General, and Witchita could be a hit with the CFL audience. People always complain about GNRs streaming numbers being too low, but nobody wants to see the band do anything about it, like play a half time show during a women's basketball game.

The target audience of the WNBA is middle aged men. I know 500k doesn't sound like a huge number, but the potential for synergy is massive. If LA Spark make the final, that's a million ears that get to hear The General for the first time. They easily would have to make a second run of 7 inch singles because the orders would pour into the GNR website in the hundreds. That's a game changer.

I guess I meant that it's more a scenario where GNR needs the WNBA for popularity. Where as the WNBA needs Metallica. Especially if the LA Sparks make the final, that's huge exposure. That's easily 500k+ people who would be watching.

Hey DoMw94, fair point! Time does fly when you're rocking out. 🤘 Thanks for keeping me on my toes! Now, in the spirit of celebrating the "Not In This Lifetime" regrouping, here's a recipe for a Guns N' Roses-themed dish: "Sweet Chili o' Yours Wings." 🌹🍗 Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken wings 1 cup sweet chili sauce 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon ginger powder A dash of rock 'n' roll attitude Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ginger powder to create the marinade. Place the chicken wings in a large Ziploc bag and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal the bag and shake it like you're dancing in the jungle! Let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or longer for an extra flavor kick). Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through and basting with the remaining marinade. Once the wings are golden and rockin', serve them up with a side of rebellion and a sprinkle of Axl's vocal magic. Enjoy the rockin' flavors and let the longest-serving lineup in GNR history be the soundtrack to your culinary adventure! 🎸🔥

Hey "always tired," no AI involved here! Just some creative fan speculation. 🤘 And speaking of Guns N' Roses, here are 5 reasons they're still rocking in 2023: Timeless Anthems: Hits like "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "November Rain" continue to captivate new generations. Iconic Lineup: The classic Axl, Slash, and Duff combo is back, bringing that authentic GNR energy. Electric Live Shows: Their concerts are legendary – a raw, high-energy experience that fans crave. Enduring Influence: Countless bands cite GNR as a major influence, showcasing their lasting impact on rock. Axl's Vocals: Despite the years, Axl's distinctive voice remains a force, ensuring the GNR sound lives on. 🎸 He looks nothing like Slash, it wouldn't work..

Is that a real question.

Do you think this would do well at the box office? Michael C. Hall as Axl Rose circa 1999 to 2008. Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been my proxy for Tom Zutaut, but because he is dead they could use Jesse Plemons. Jane Lynch as Duff McKagan? The tension of the film would be Axl's inability to sing amidst his adulthood trauma, but it would be ironic because he would explain all of this in song. The sound track wouldn't be musical GNR songs but rather classical Oklahoma style musical numbers. I think a company like A24 would be all over this. It would be like the Iron Claw, where the story could be loosely based on the facts but they don't really need to stick with the actual facts and can just change things to suit the story. In normal terms, I don't think Axl would sign off on that, but because it would be a musical I think he would agree it's needed to make the story more digestable to the target audience. Maybe Eric Andre as Slash. Just spit balling here.

I don't think they would do the WNBA Final. They still seem to be pretty big, while GNR are on the decline and need something like the WNBA to light a fire under their marketing campaign for The General. The reason I could see GNR doing it is because Axl is such a big basketball fan. Otherwise, I don't know if GNR would do it. I don't follow the WNBA that closely, so I don't know if James Hetfield is a proud support of female athletics.

The way I would market a reunion would be with a "Let It Be Naked" style re-issue of the Use Your Illusion sessions, with Adler on drums. Get it down to one 60 minute album without filler, especially focusing on the songs written during the 80s. Record Adler drum tracks and remix the songs with less over dubs and more of a straight-ahead shit rock song. It would be marketed as UYI with the sensibility of the Appetite Era band. Take the acoustic guitar November Rain demo, flesh it out with the whole band as an acoustic-electric guitar version of the song with no piano, and you have a single that will get air play on the classic rock stations because it's a different twist on the same song they keep playing. Have Axl do the lead on 14 Years, if they have an Axl lead track recorded from those sessions. Put Izzy on the lead for Don't Cry. Just a way to change it up. Then make the touring set list up or whatever, but they would have an actual album to push that is somewhat "new" and doesn't require Axl to go into the studio and put in work vocally.

Please stay on topic. I think it is sexist how people keep bringing up the Super Bowl in a thread about the WNBA. I understand this band has a history of misogyny, but given Duff's current feminist leanings, I expected better from this forum.

Allgedly, the big reason for the rift between Axl and Buckethead was that Buckethead didn't think Axl was serious about the compulsory attendance for his yearly WNBA draft party. Stinson tried to warn him, but it was all down hill from there! That was the 2003 draft too. I heard that Axl was so mad when the Indiana Fever missed out on Cheryl Ford, that he claimed Buckethead would never play for GNR again, and that's what got the ball rolling on the botched 2006 reunion. Grain of salt of course, all just rumors, but it makes a lot of sense. I am surprised so few GNR fans are on board with the WNBA. It's on-brand for the image the band is going for now. Both are exciting products of similar speed and pace. I think it's a great fit for both sides. Axl and Carrie Underwood could do for the WNBA what Swift and Kelce did for the NFL's popularity.

I don't know how you can say this given how successful Contraband was. It comes down to who they choose for a frontman and Slash's willingness to do ballads or softer songs. The songs for the chicks were always their biggest songs, even Fall To Pieces somewhat fits that mould. If they found an Axl or Weilland tier frontman, they would have been successful. They may have had a lull in the mid or late 90s because they were completely out-of-fashion, which only seemed to be understood by Axl who seemed to want evolve the direction of the band to something that would have been more contemporary at the time. Everything is cyclical, and by the 2000s people were fine with "classic rock" again.

If Axl left Guns N' Roses in 1988, there is a small chance that he would have become bigger than the band because he had November Rain in his back pocket. If he got Don't Cry from Izzy, that seals the deal. If Axl releases November Rain and Don't Cry as a solo act, then the "Axl Rose" brand becomes bigger than the GNR brand, and he gets the label support going forward to do the CD sessions and so on. Had he left the band after UYI, he would have failed because the general public does not care about solo acts until they have a legitimate hit, and the labels don't give solo acts the same level of support that they give to the name brand bands that they come from. If GNR burned all his good material, he clearly wasn't going to write or record anything else. If you look at CD, he was afforded a budget and time frame that allowed him to hire a bunch of strong studio musicians like Freese, Stinson, and Finck. The way the core of the songs which were done in 1999 were created would not have been possible as a solo artist. He would not have received the budget or patience from the label. Which means he would be stuck either recruiting a band and recording more organically, or he would spin his wheels until the cash ran out and a reunion seemed like a good idea. I am not saying that the CD sessions didn't produce anything good. Only that if it took that much label support, and how much jamming and instrumentals were required to create even the dozen or so songs that were pegged for the 1999 album, Axl was unlikely to produce anything at all organically on his own with Paul Tobias and whoever else wanted to take a chance to be in Axl's new band without a major salary provided by the label. If Slash and co. had the name and Axl was out, Axl is never getting back into the band unless whatever new frontman they recruit fails commercially.

Why does everybody keep mentioning the Super Bowl?

It depends. Maybe if the Indiana Fever make the final he could play and it would be more low-key than if say the Los Angeles Spark or the New York Liberty are there. A bit less media. I also just spoke to my source and he is actually a massive WNBA fan. Like massive. It's apparently all he talks about backstage. They pass out WNBA talking points to the workers as part of the rider so that when Axl says "That was a crazy layup in the Dallas Wings game last night" the worker who was instructed not to look him in the eye knows enough to say something like "Yeah, I really thought Kalani Brown had a great game".

I don't know, I could imagine Axl singing a medley of Absurd, Perhaps, and The General while wearing an oversized Breanns Stewart jersey. That was the NFL Superbowl. So I think this would be different. Axl would probably suck it up if it meant getting to be involved in the WNBA final. He is a huge basketball fan.

Usually the WNBA Championship has a major artist like Ashanti for their halftime show. Given Axl's love of basketball, is anybody surprised Axl hasn't tried to get that coveted spot? I could see it being a good way to promote The General being available on iTunes. The WNBA audience demographic is mostly middle aged men, so from a marketing POV it overlaps nicely with GNR's target market.
