DieselDaisy Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The problem now is, he is a Vegas wash-up. You could forgive his, transgressions, in the past, the riots and bullshit, because he always had his art and his voice, however, now both of those have deserted him, he has become impossible to defend. If the guy was kicking your arse every three-or-so years with new music, it would be a completely different story. It is like football teams: when they are winning, the fans are positive and content and the backroom politics, minimal, but, when they are losing it is an entirely different story!

alfierose Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm not convinced this was totally penned by Axl himself but if it was following on the back of the superbowl rant he's certainly getting himself worked up for something. This tour could be good.....or a complete disaster! I'll be watching with interest either way. :-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastodonny Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What a miserable existence. Sitting around and reading FB comments is bad enough but to issue a statement whining about said comments is pathetic. Rock n Roll!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) I hope he gets really, really fucking pissed off sitting around reading the comments. It'll be a way better tour if he's angry about something. Edited February 9, 2014 by RickRoses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's amazing how over on Twitter they have so much more respect compared to the idiotic masses over on FaceBook who "like" their page just to insult them.They get just as much shit on there as they do on FB.Fernando actually got mad at me once for telling him to stop using the GNR page to tweet about the NFL page and start using the GNR page to give us updates on the band. He also said something to Russ after Russ called him out for updating us on Taylor Momsen's career. And aren't you the one who bragged about getting blocked by nearly every ex GNR member on Twitter by talking shit? Shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Maybe back then Dj Ashba was trying to hook up with Taylor Momsen. At the very least he could have given her some free Ashba Swag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK82 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 "fighting the good fight".....We're talking about music, right?Seems like the dementia is really starting to set in.Stop being so idiotic. It's a figure of speech."A figure of speech is the use of a word or a phrase, which transcends its literal interpretation. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it, as in idiom, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, or synecdoche. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity. However, clarity may also suffer from their use, as any figure of speech introduces an ambiguity between literal and figurative interpretation. A figure of speech is sometimes called a rhetorical figure or a locution." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Reads like Axl to me. Maybe a tiny bit of the old fire us coming back to him. Maybe. A tiny bit. Not enough fire to become a force of nature again. Not enough fire to stop treating GNR as a cover band. Maybe enough fire to slightly give a shit onstage, though. No rehearsals, of course. That would be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November_rain Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Half the post looks like it might have been written by Axl and the other half by someone else. Also, doesn´t Axl put his name at the end of his texts, kind of "Peace, Axl" or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_Fetish Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It seems that Axl has spent his Birthday week running amuck on the interwebs... totally entertaining as always, Mr. Rose.I enjoy the wordfinderpuzzlepieces that are Axl's posts... I don't care what they're about. It's just comforting to know he's got a pulse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
