beautifulanddamned Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've lost two uncles and my father in law in the last three weeks- father in law was 63 uncles in mid 50's. What's saddest to me about the Guns situation is that all of those guys are insanely lucky to be alive- especially considering what they have all done to their bodies. In your 5th decade health often starts to fade and if we learned anything in 2016 it's that our idols won't be around forever. Will they regret not doing the reunion right if one of them keels over tomorrow? Shit happens and that all of them are alive and were willing is so damn frustrating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I completely agree with this. I thought the same thing when we lost Prince, Bowie, George Michael and all the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenchantress Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) @beautifulanddamned so sorry, dear And yeah, I feel exactly what you said. One day they are gonna say "fuck this shit, we are family" and it's gonna be too late. It's frustrating.

His answer kinda made me sad but it also made me regain a new respect for Steven. Nothing new about Iz. As I once said on one of my very first posts on this forum, at the beginning of the tour I heard a rumour from someone that had an insider at one show. He basically said "Izzy is a romantic that wanted a full original 5 reunion, with touring and new songs. Axl said no, and Slash and Duff just stuck with Axl." As I said, nothing new. I liked it for you and she's 100% right. @beautifulanddamned Sorry for your loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It is very frustrating, and whilst none of these guys owe us anything I would be really happy just to see the five play Appertite in celebration of 30 years. You would think they could pull off just one night for the long standing, die hard, exhausted fan base amongst us. They screwd up RRHOF, so just give us a one night, maybe we need to send Duff a letter, he seems to like them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an emotional mess right now (I might be a bit of a drama queen lol). On one hand, I'm sad cause it seems they are out for good now but on the other hand I'm fucking proud of Izzy and Steven for sticking to their principles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Duff, How to be a man: Step 1: Don't put a price tag on 30+ year old friendships. Step 2: Do not go on stage with chicks that wear Victoria's Secret wings. It's not very Rock n' Roll. Step 3: Grow some balls and reunite the band for one night. After 20+ years of nonsense you guys sucking it up for a few hours wont kill you. Hell, you might even enjoy it.

beautifulanddamned Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Aw you guys, thanks for the I feel like I've been hard on Duff in this entire thread but I expect Axl and Slash to be Douchebags. Duff? Expected better. I so so wish Izzy had done that interview- I don't think he would have pulled punches. I kind of want someone, anyone to stick it to the "Big" three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the reunion I was a pretty big Duff fan. Especially his column with Seattle Weekly & his two books. But the way he has behaved with this whole reunion has left a bad taste in my mouth. He preaches being the better person but then turns his back on the one person that has always been there for him. I cant help but feel like they only use Izzy when they need somebody to help them write. Then when it comes to big opportunities they dump him. I hate to say that and really hope I'm wrong but it's just the same pattern over and over with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane M. Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Duff has been the biggest disappointment. With Slaxl you know what to expect (I still don't understand how those two didn't talk for 20 years, they are two peas in a pod) while Duff seemed to be the voice of reason. I was wrong. 10 minutes ago, Kris_1989 said: I cant help but feel like they only use Izzy when they need somebody to help them write. Then when it comes to big opportunities they dump him.

Darkenchantress Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ah this thread is love Do you guys think we'll get some kind of feedback from Izzy about this issue?

Jane M. Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 This AMA thing went as I expected. Steven is out of touch with reality and hasn't grown up. Just when I think I've seen it all there's always someone that goes that extra mile to make me go like I just have to laugh at it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I can't even see any posts in that thread that are all that bad, maybe it's just me. People are upset that we could've had AFD five, why's that such a crime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenchantress Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I don't know, I stopped reading the thread. People need to understand that what is enough for them maybe it is not for the rest. That there is not a good way or a bad way of being a fan. And that someone with a different opinion is just expressing it, not overreacting just because you don't like what they're saying. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoot Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The only thing that's bothering me about the thread is the attacking Axl comments. We don't know for sure who caused the problem in negotiations. We know there was a rumor that one of them wanted more money and that's why Izzy's share got cut but we don't know who. It could've been Axl but I somehow doubt it. Also, Steven has a very sarcastic sense of humor. Just because he calls somebody insane or an asshole doesn't mean he means it. So everyone flipping out over that is just... I think everyone just needs to let it go. We may never know why things fell through but the bottom line is that they did. Izzy is doing his solo thing again which is awesome. Steven said he might have a new gig and the big 3 are doing their thing. Attacking each other and taking shots at the band members isn't going to change anything. Hopefully one day they will get it together and reunite but for now I'm just going to take it as it is. Now, where is that new Izzy album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The guy who started that rumour said one of the big three made last minute demands and it was not Axl. Assholes is a term of endearment amongst GnR isn't it? Like when they always stick their middle fingers up for pictures, nobody can think that Steven actually meant it in a nasty way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
