Even the critic was surprised cause he was walking around and heard music but thought it was like a CD and then realized.....shit! That's them...they have started already lol!

Yeah, I have faith in them and I'm sure they want to do the best shows possible in GnR's hometow. One really hasn't heard about late start times from them in a while. *knock on wood* The two Vegas runs and such seemed on time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lumikki Posted August 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Girls, I still believe we're gonna get Izzy sooner or later. Why? Because of Axl's reaction to the "Where's Izzy?" sign. He said something like "That's a very good question. And that's all you're gonna get." And he said that in a very cheeky and cheerful way, like he knows something we don't (well obviously), like there's some kind of plan in place, but he is not going to tell us (for now) and is going to keep it a secret. Seeing him react in such a positive way made me pretty optimistic that things aren't too bad between them and can be worked out (or are already worked out). And there was also the "Izzy is family" statement of course by Camp Axl. 3 hours ago, Frey said: I really don't give a fuck about Steven being there or not. I only want Izzy. Everything else is a disappointment. LOL same. I'm perfectly happy with Frank and I don't miss Steven or Sorum at all. Give me Izzy or fuck off. And stop with all the lame ass "hints" and secrecy. 9 hours ago, giuls said: Yes, i noticed it too, like, there's the Scott thing when he said his instictual reaction we talked was "you can't talk shit about Axl, ONLY I can because i put up with him for years" or when he talked about meeting the dude Axl hit in St. Louis some years later and he tried to be buddy-buddy with Slash using the anti-Axl card and Slash reaction was to get in his face because ONLY HIM can talk shit about Axl, i quote from the book, "[Slash] have that right" and i'm like, dude... Dude, there were other people dealing with Axl, chill out. I really don't get that rethoric because, like you said, it goes against what they themself said, why would you insist on something that it was contradicted by them 9 hours ago, Frey said: This kind of comes through in the lyrics of Slash's first solo album as well, in these songs about Axl. "Is it me or you Who carries the weight to deal with your pain And don't you hate it too It smothers and drains all the same" This bit from Take It Away immediately comes to mind. Damaged people unfortunately tend to damage the people around them as well, even if they don't mean to. I think there's even something called seconhand PTSD (Not saying Slash got secondhand PTSD from dealing with Axl btw. Doesn't seem to have been quite that bad, but same principle.) I agree with both of you, very good points. And I know there's even more stuff like this out there. It makes me feel sorry for Slash. Calling it seconhand PTSD would probably be too extreme, yeah, but it can't have been easy for him. He was just a kid (and a lot younger than Axl too) and in no way equipped to properly deal with Axl's problems. (Though I don't really like the "Is it me or you / Who carries the weight to deal with your pain" line. I feel for Slash, I really do, but Axl was still the main person affected by his own issues and not Slash. Although I get the impression Slash thinks otherwise. "Axl's craziness drives me crazier than it does him" comes to mind.) 9 hours ago, Frey said: I'd be interested in seeing what Axl would have looked like as a girl Like if he had actually tried to really pass as a girl. Considering that even Slash apparently managed to fool people into believing he was a girl, Axl should definitely have been able to do it (even more so because he already looked pretty girly to begin with anyway, without trying). I'm not usually into girls, but I'd probably still find Axl hot in a skirt and make-up.... Oh wait. 5 hours ago, killuridols said: In my opinion (or maybe not) some parts of "Breakdown" are about Erin. And that last sentence you marked in bold, I think it could be a reference to the record label, to Geffen. Axl once mentioned they were having some trouble with them by the time of the UYI release (and I think he also talked a bit about that during the China Exchange conference). This trying to understand the lyrics is very cool. Would love to analyze other lyrics as well, especially 'Chinese Democracy' lyrics. Yes, Erin and the state of the band are the two things that mostly come to my mind when I think about Breakdown as well. And I love discussing and analyizing lyrics too. I'm all up for discussing CD songs, there's still a few we haven't discussed yet lol. 3 hours ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Patience I could honestly kick myself so much for not going to London in 2012. Even after the Duff thing in 2010, I stupidly couldn't be bothered to go down London for a show. I won't make that mistake again! I will just have to go to all UK shows, just in case. Poor me I was lucky enough to see one of the shows where Izzy joined Axl in 2006. I'm so glad I went. Izzy and Axl are the only two Gunners I've ever seen live. Never even saw Slash or Duff in anything. Anyway, some smiling Izzy to fight the Izzy-related doom and gloom going on here? Happy Izzy hugging happy Axl: Find the Izzy (hint: he's the one with the fabulous sunglasses) "No pictures please" Izzy (plus Duff in jeans hot pants lol ) Babies (they look adorable here): And not such babies anymore, but I really like Axl's expression in that picture and the way Izzy is looking at Axl: Edited August 18, 2016 by Lumikki 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) @Lumikki I've seen the trinity, in different bands, Snakepit, VR, Loaded, Axls Guns, never bothered with SMKC (can't stand Myles on gnr songs). I want to see Izzy so much, I'm so jealous of you I wouldn't go to any shows in 06, I was going through a "Axl is an asshole" phase, and ended up missing out on seeing Izzy in GNR Edited August 18, 2016 by MillionsOfSpiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
