Ali Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It does, but seeing as a pair of (direct quote) "assholes" run MYGNR since the takeover, I think it's safe to say it's not just MSL she doesn't like. Obviously, I don't know what you're referring to, and therefore don't completely get the context of those comments and how that relates to the leaks, but if that text that was posted is real, as you say, it seems the anger over the leaks is being directed at MSL, isn't it?Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It seems to me that the way this band is run, any site more critical or open than Here Today is gonna become "the enemy" sooner or later... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What did the text say exactly?It said verbatim:"I'm glad everyone is happy with stolen material. Well, I guess that's it. We don't need to put anything out now. Everyone took the fun of everything. MSL and co will pay for what they did"If she actually sent that, she's being sarcastic, but I think with the leak discussion beginning to make its way into the mainstream media, they're probably going to talk about it soon, esp. when they're saying Bumblefoot confirmed the song. People really need to be careful about what they're posting, some things are better off discussed in the chats and not posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) This is getting rediculous, and it's pretty hard not to see how pathetic this all is. The GN'R camp need to realise that ALL fans want is new music from a band they LOVE. The only time they are wasting is their own, and I feel sorry for them to be honest. How can you blame members like Robin and Bucket for leaving when it has gone on for THIS long, Bucket wouldn't of been around for 5 minutes if he'd known how it was going to be. And I feel sorry that Robin invested 10+ years in this band... Axl once said "everyone thinks they have so much time, we en't got no time... we en't got no time to waste at all". Now he is doing that very thing, and again he's only wasting his own time, hope it's worth it.

Towelie Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Every artist/band gets the fans they deserve. If you treat the fans with contempt then expect the same in return. Edited August 22, 2013 by Towelie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoRourke Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You guys wonder why the relationship with the band / management is difficult?Have you seen the torrent of insults they get from this place?Supposedly the new rules would prevent that - still waiting to see it happen.I'm not saying everything is great with the band but I've never seen so much hate and insults coming from 'fans' - do you really think this is helping?Maybe they had plans for those songs and now they have to change them because a few people stole them away...You guys say you want to get closer to management, yet you keep authorizing people to antagonize them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethalis Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The one and only reason everything is so fucked up, is because Axl doesn't take a stand.He should be responding to this. Not his "mom" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age songs leak all the time. You as an artist can't prevent it no matter how hard you try. You must adapt and do things like NIN, or just carry on with the original plan and release the material. Right or wrong that's the way it is now and it can't be stopped.

77Jesters Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You think the fans are bad?, Should hear what the general public thinks of them! and besides that, no fans stole the songs directly, it's all caused by the original source, not the middlemen.

Towelie Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hate to break it to you buddy, but a few Brazillian media websites is not reflective of the general public consensus. In the UK, Axl is considered a joke and nobody considers this band to be legitimately GNR. Axl has done nothing to change that perception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking joke, excuse of a band nuGn'R is. All the little respect I had for this version of the 'band' is now gone. RIP Gn'R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Woah, wait a minute, when did she say that assholes run MYGNR? and who did she send that text too? Do you think she feels threatened by the resourcefulness of people on forums? Leaking, badgering her email, constant slating of the bands decisions..etc?Hate to break it to you buddy, but a few Brazillian media websites is not reflective of the general public consensus. In the UK, Axl is considered a joke and nobody considers this band to be legitimately GNR. Axl has done nothing to change that perception.Not so sure I agree, they played 8 arena shows last year, previous tour headlined 2 festivals and 4 arena shows. They didn't completely sell out, but all the standing did for the shows and 80% of the seat, that's got to count for something, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm shocked that they are shocked the songs leaked. These were not just recently recorded mixes these were done 6-12 years ago! With the amount of people that played a hand in the making of Chinese democracy it's a miracle they didn't leak sooner. No telling how many gnr demos are floating around the music industry...or buried in a desk of blank cd's. They should feel lucky the flood gates haven't opened.

Nick83 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think the issue is that the "camp" listens to this forum too much and has PTSD. They need act more professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimusPrimeNL Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 This isn't going well, is it? It looks like management is trying to piss off every fan and shit, even band members. Every other band would be psyched to have fans this enthusiastic for new music. Bumble, Dj and Fortus have all showed interest in making a new album. Maybe making an album doesn't bring as much money as touring, but it seems like every person with money, only thing they want is: Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money. But to keep your fans you also need to do fan service, throw them a bow, but throwing them the same bone every time (touring), even that bone starts to taste dull, especially when management says "No, Fuck off" and saying that it is all the fans fault... It seems they are only out to please their wallets and not the fans, we know how Bumble feels about it, and we can pretty much guess for the others (except pitman). I just don't understand. I wish Axl would come up here and say exactly what he wants and not hide behind management... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
