Country music is big up here and that is all that comes up to my state... and I am just not into that kind of music.

Popular Post lucie Posted February 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2017 I enjoy reading both old and new posters. Love the humour and sarcasm and don't take any of it seriously.... Happy to scroll past anything that doesn't interest me and catch up on any new info and gossip. This place makes me laugh and shake my head and roll my eyes and come back for more. Never thought I'd see the day when the paparazzi are the bands own girlfriends... That takes some getting use to... But otherwise this place seems really cool for a shy old girl like me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we will do the same." That's my two cents worth interpretation anyway 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no spark or anger or problematique in them anymore, just Nice Guy Hetfield.

Also it seems that there is a divide between long standing posters and those joining more recently. I would like this thread to be a fresh start for ALL those that wish to contribute whilst following basic guidelines for the thread. These guidelines are as follows: DISCUSSION MUST BE FOR THE MOST PART RELEVANT TO GUNS N ROSES - ANY LENGTHY PERSONAL OR OFF TOPIC SUBJECTS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE ANYTHING GOES SECTION. ALL DISCUSSION OF BAND MEMBER'S FAMILIES, IN PARTICULAR MINORS, IS OFF LIMITS UNLESS IT HAS RELEVANCE TO THE BAND OR IS SOMETHING IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN (FOR EXAMPLE - AN INTERVIEW). PERSONAL ATTACKS OF OTHER FORUM MEMBERS IS PROHIBITED, POSTS WHICH BREAK RULES SHOULD BE REPORTED. NO PHOTOSHOPS OF BAND MEMBERS GETTING IT ON WITH EACH OTHER - IT SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN A CAUSE OF CONTENTION IN THE PREVIOUS THREAD AND AS IT DOESNT ADD ANYTHING OF VALUE TO DISCUSSION PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING THEM HERE. Below is the link to the previous thread for reference. The last thread had many talented posters and funny, interesting discussion for the most part. It would be nice to return to that premise and to make all newcomers feel welcome. Thank You. Just in case there is any confusion.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hello hello, I rarely ever post but I loved to follow and read the other women's thread) Just looking at the facebook events for guns and metallica in my city, the guns page, after all this time has 3K people that clicked "going" whereas the metallica event, after just a few days already has 6k going. I always thought guns would be more popular among the general public...I mean they really have a little bit of everything! Into pop music? you'll like sweet child and patience. Into metal? you'll probably like perfect crime and you're crazy (fast). into country vibes? try you ain't the first, dead flowers, bad obsession...Not to mention the popular jungle/paradise city/november rain! On the other hand, I've always viewed metallica as straight up metal (i do like metallica, not as much as guns though). I just think guns cover more bases. I was seriously surprised to see the demand for metallica was sooooo much larger than for guns...I feel like gnr needs to put up some billboards that indirectly say "SLASH AND AXL ARE BACK TOGETHER!!!!!!!" because a alot of people still think axl's touring with the CD lineup for some reason...

Honestly, you are personally one of the reasons I keep coming here. You bring up a topic, listen to all opinions and debate in a healthy way. With that being said, I hope everyone reaches some level of comfort. You're right, some people are new and young and there's nothing wrong with that. That's why having an index like we discussed at some point in the older thread would have been great. But it was too much damn work even back then, and it's double the work now. Maybe I can dig through the old thread a little and start collecting some of the good stuff in the coming days though. We'll see. I disagree about there being only so many pictures and discussion topics though.

And if he wants it to come across as sincere, put a candid picture of him and Slash -- not some official pic from Kat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been posting that kind of stuff since the beginning of the thread basically. Hmm, I don't agree.... Most of the pics we called Slaxl or Duffaxl or Sluff, etc. were REAL PICS of them engaging onstage, mostly, and all we did was give it an "interpretation" (I admit at times forced) of how they were feeling about each other. The only photoshopped picture of Axl and Slash that I remember it is one of Slash and Renee with Axl photoshopped on it. That's got to be the oldest one circulating on Instagrams and Tumblrs. Now it seems there are new ones and honestly, they are really pathetic and I don't see why we should help spread them around or even encourage it when there is nothing fun about them. The fun was in using our imagination to pics that were real. There's only one person, from the "old lineup", who loves bringing here these Instagram abortions, but the rest of us never got hooked on it. I know that fans like @Lumikki, @Andy14, @Blackstar, myself and others are like "freaks" of debunking bullshit stories, false rumours, fake pics and general GN'R info that thanks to places like IG or TumblR is usually passed on as real, when its just a bunch of lies and made up shit by new fans or young fans or people who just don't care for finding a source or going back to the origins of either a photo or story. The spirit of this thread was also based on raising the quality of the posts, of the arguments and discussions and be a place where fans could know the "truth" of some things (not that we are the owners of the truth or know everything but you know what I mean...) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
