Facekicker Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 When did axl publicly supported Israel?Come on he's not a political figure what do you think is gonna happen?I can't remember the exact quote. Maybe projected knows, he's israeli I think. In fairness, I wouldn't expect it to be a problem, but "politics" should not be underestimated in this region. You could plausibly have boycotts or protests if someone latched onto that for whatever reason. It has happened to bands planning to play Israel for example.

F*ck Fear Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 After the periods of inactivity such as '94-'00 and '03-'06 I don't understand why people complain about the constant touring. At least the ban is out there putting on shows for their fans.Hopefully they can make it back to Canada sometime this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 well, if you can't understand the frustration of seeing a great artist like axl not releasing his work, which must be really good, then i don't know what to say to you.touring is good, but it's time to release new music. fans deserve it. if you disagree, i might think you're just another axl rose blind follower.

Good for them. Hope they enjoy the show.Ali Edited February 22, 2013 by Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesecake Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 When will he get bored singing the same songs over and over and over again. They should be getting new songs out like ASAP so that they can start performing new fresh songs on tour.It seems we're definitely not getting studio time in 2013.

Thank God that is not the case. Can't imagine them playing in Namibia and the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? You don't understand why fans who have been following the band year in and year out are kind of tired of hearing about yet another tour with yet the same setlist featuring zero new material after years of Axl making it seem like he cared about moving forward with the GNR name? You don't understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trqster Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 New music isn't really relevant for anyone but the die-hard fans (us...). People just wanna hear the good ol'greatest hits that'll never grow old and by the looks of it, Axl seems to agree... It's called making a living out of touring & making (almost) everybody along happy. Nothing wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
