Popular Post highvoltage Posted August 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) The forum and TB; man where to start... hatred, racism, idiocy, stubbornness, toxicity, etc... However, why should the most suffer due to the few? Because it's the few that posts the most. It's a never ending cycle! It's a mad mad world. Shit man, I would love to keep it classy, fun and I am the first to make a joke or laugh at one. Not usually at my expense and/or due to extremely vile content found in almost every thread. Please don't take this as a generalization of the entire forum. Just most of the threads I read here consists of usually at least one major put down; get sooooo old. Maybe baiting for Dexter to return? Who knows...I don't think anybody has this expectation that you (or anyone else in the band) would want to swing by and shoot the shit with us on a regular basis, for all the reasons you have mentioned. It doesn't seem like you are blind to people's frustrations here, and while that's not an excuse for some of the posts people make - there would be so far fewer of the posts you speak of if you found a way to look past some of that element and reach out to those that are still hanging out to hear something from Axl - even just occasionally. What about when Axl was paying the idiot that owned the site before he sold for all hosting charges for over a year, and whatever else he had asked. As to not have mygnr.com go away? We have done quite a lot for this community, to be chastised by the few doesn't really sound like "Come back soon." Shit I was banned from this forum for years, and apparently as of recently I was able to return by creating a new account. So yeah; maybe that shines some light on where things have gone wrong. But never too late to rebuild, refresh.I want to address this directly - as I acted between both parties during the sale, and Eric was very up front with me about his reasons for selling the forum at the time. He told me he was selling privately because he felt that if you guys ended up owning the forum, you'd close it shortly thereafter to focus on your own paid community. He sold to a longtime staff member who he felt would keep the place open and preserve the community for the fans. I just took him for his word at the time as it seemed pretty logical to me. Now that you're here, I finally have the opportunity to ask you - what would you guys have (honestly) done with the site if Eric had sold to you instead of Subs? Was he right? Or were there other ideas? Not to focus on what "could have" been; I'm just interested to hear your end of it. As for the other thing, I'm positive your account wasn't banned at any point in the past few years. So I'm not sure where the misunderstanding there came from either. I hope that this can be the building blocks to something great. Although, surely someone will ruin it and then we can try again after 2 more guitarists quit. (Another joke) <--- yes, not a hug.It would be nice. Thankyou for stopping by. Edited August 4, 2015 by highvoltage 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Nice to see you back, Fernando. I've talked with Beta more, but you and I met in Vegas after the last show. I was the guy with the Eleon "trashcan" shirt on; the same on as Axl. Axl got a kick out of it.Either way, glad you're taking this lighthearted, but on a more serious note, I honestly believe the forum as a whole (even people like Mags) would like for you, or others from the camp, to stop by every now and then and post a bit, even if it isn't with updates. Yeah, we'd love those more than anything, but I think a big part of the stuff that gets said around here has to do with the lack of interest or connection we get from the band. Some around here act out way more than they should, and we're definitely trying to work on that, but I think it needs to be a big group effort. Forum members should be proud to wear the MYGNRFORUM shirt they bought at future shows - not scared!Really, we're not all bad, just like you all aren't bad (except you, of course - kidding!), but if baby steps are taken, I'm sure everyone can change for the better and there can be a big cyber (hug).Also, to answer someone's question of a pro shot, it's in relation to the San Juan show from 2010 that exists in full out there, somewhere. That said, do other full length shows exist in that format that you know of? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Fernando,With Axl preferring to be a recluse it falls on the management to maintain relations with the public. If Axl has clear plans and a process going on forwards, then you should convey this to the fans on a regular basis (how about a newsletter every 6 months or so, with some insights to what is happening and what your tentative plans are, maybe some exclusive pictures and unreleased goodies?). That would clear up lots of misuderstanding, confusions, and strengthen the core fan base which can only be good for the future of the band, for you, and for us. It doesn't feel like you consider us a resource at all, but, unfortunately, rather like an annoying distraction. Does everything with GN'R have to be a conflict? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think Fernando/TB could learn a few things from Ron about the art of saying things without actually saying them. Ron's an expert at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Rose aka God Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm really happy to see Fernando posting on here again. You're a really positive guy, judging based solely on the posts I've seen here and on Facebook. I hope no one makes you feel any malice on here, and if they do, just remember they may just be negative people in general. When it comes to GN'R I am always excited for something more. If I may put the bird in your ear, I'd love to see GN'R release something on Spotify digitally! A single that starts on Spotify and eventually leads to an album, or even just a few singles on Spotify, would be great. Or any music service really. I just think releasing them digitally in high quality format is a great idea. I don't mean to tell anyone in GN'R how to do their job, but I was curious if it's been thought of...

ChristmasFnatic Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Question... errrr... favor.

JoGer99 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hey Fernando, Great to see you posting again Any chance of Robin returning after DJ's departure ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Fernando - Please try and get Ron back in the band. He's an awesome guitarist and his parts on CD were among the best guitar parts on the record. He's too good to be taken for granted.And as for DJ leaving... Robin Finck returning would be a dream. Fuck an AFD reunion, 2006 lineup with Ron and Finck and CD2 would be amazing. Edited August 4, 2015 by Towelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I haven't seen any pro shots of SJ, there has been so many tours, shows recorded that I wish there was a way to make it available.Well, it sure is the "real" Fermanager because we got our usual TB keywords: #maybe and #soon.Question... errrr... favor.

Black Sabbath Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well, cool to know that the shows are recorded and saved somewhere.

SoulMonster Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I don't think the managers know that much more than what we do. They have a fickle employer apt to debilitating moodswings and secrecy. That is why they can't give us any real updates and have to resort to joking around, shooting the shit, using vague words like "soon" and "maybe", while still trying to make it seem like everything is okay, some super secret plan is unfolding, and lots of great things is to come! while avoiding answering simple questions about the band, like "what is the current lineup", "why did bumblefoot leave", "what is next in store, record or tour", "have Dj been replaced", "what is tentative release date", "what obstacle remains to a new release", etc, all answers that would actually demonstrate that things are going forward, that we will be rewarded for caring about the band, and that Axl hasn't thrown in the towel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Seems like Elvis has left the building, but it's cool that he did step in and say hello. These guys have to understand that people are frustrated for a # of legitimate reasons. I'm sure they probably do. It would also be nice if certain posters stopped posting the same insults and arguments over and over again.I just want to know why I still haven't heard Atlas Shrugged and The General after so many years. Will I ever?Also, I wonder if Fernando will be willing or able to answer, what song is the "Checkmate" clip from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
