Padme Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 He said he doesn´t miss being in the band. And I don´t blame him. Pretty much what he said in his book. It was cool to joined them in London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an amusing never-ending failure.Also, being fan =/= emulating the people you're fans of.Oh c'mon Rusty. It doesn't matter what word I choose, I would argue there's plenty of evidence that many fans are bothered by the name. Hell, Axl even made one of his chats centered around the subject. It's a point of contention for many fans. Also, the band continues to be a successful failure, if you'll pardon the oxymoron. ; )And yes you're very right- being a fan is not equal to emulating the people you're fans of. Notice however, I didn't really say that. Allow me to rephrase it a little: I merely suggested some fans could (should) draw inspiration from the fact Duff is not bothered by the name. Duff knows he owns a piece of the GnR name (in the fans' consciousness) without that little scrap of paper that Axl has. That's why he's at peace with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Nobody needs to mold their opinion around how Duff feels about it.Shrinking crowds and a decreased interest in your music isn't success. Wiggle it any way you want but the record company knows it. Even Axl and TB know it since their only chance of making a profit is depending on South America tours.If those were your typical crowd numbers over the course of your career, you would be admitting a failure. With GNR though, you consider simply releasing an album with minimal profit a success. Or making minimal bank on a tour a success. When you have to lower the bar so low to define the current scenario as success, there isn't much rebuttal necessary.

niceguy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What's there to miss?Compare what GNR was when duff was in it: AFD to the UYI toursAnd now? DJ and bbf. Yeah, they're really the world leaders of rock music lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically he plays a discography of a band he hates for the pay cheque. And he is always boozed up to hide the pain of being a sell out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Tommy wasn't even that creatively involved with The Replacements. He has about as much punk cred as Dizzy has GNR cred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've said this before, but Duff has made comments aplenty about how he didn't agree with Axl using the name. People also forget though, that Duff and Axl and Izzy and Axl, etc, had a personal connection that went beyond the music. WE didn't. Good for Duff for not dwelling on something that's beyond his control and just making peace with it, as well as making peace with Axl.People aren't so much bitter about the name. It's more about acknowledging how asinine it is to disguise yourself as something that you're clearly not, and then doing nothing to take it forward on top of that.It's really a laughter inducing soap opera more than anything now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooker Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Seems like a pretty Typical day at MyGNR. Someone publically comments about GN'R and some of you use that as an excuse to argue about the same thing. This is really overplayed at this point.

gunnari Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't mind Axl using the name but if you have a name like Guns N' Roses put some records out (good) and quit the nostalgic trip..What we have today is tour after tour after tour and no new material released..1 album in 15+ years...My complain is how Axl treats the name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
