His tweet said to split the loot equally, that's not fairly. That's greedy to assume he deserves the same as Axl and slash who clearly bring more to the show than he does. I'm willing to bet he was still going to make millions from this tour and to me that's more than fair for a rythem guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold top 78 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 1 minute ago, estranged_85 said: agree. but on the other hand people said the same thing when Adler got his "closure" on the current tour.. People went nuts when he got to play and so happy for him to get closure.. then a second after people wanted more and started arguing about him not being part of the band/tour. Yeah I agree you on that and that's why I don't see the 5 of them being on stage tonight because it would overshadow the rest of the tour and give false hopes if there's no plan to play together again and as you said people will always want more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon son, it's the other bio parents AKA holy trinity that blocks them, them step parents also never pretend to be the real one, they just fill the role. The step parents can't do shit because they are jobless. No shit Sherlock . I didn't say the smurf or robot has any control , I responded in the same format that the insidious, beta bacteria wrote.

It really sucks, and it just won't feel right, but there's nothing we can do. There's one thing I can do : to buy a ticket to see this line-up. But I won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said THEY didn't want to split it equally, which sounds to me like he was fourth in line in terms of the cut. He probably found their offer insulting. He never said he expected equal pay to Axl but he probably, rightly in my opinion, expected to be paid the same as Slash/Duff. Rhythm guitarist and main songwriter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was different. Back then they didn't have a tour, were they excluded him. And AFD means nothing to Stinson. He's not even a fan. And he saw the show already.

scooby845 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 SO let me get this straight.. 98% of what this anniversary should represent (Steven and Izzy - AFD5) has gone to hell... 1% is playing Appetite in its entirety... % chance of the previous statement happening? 1% Niceeeeee... #GnFnR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visiting friends, like they previously did is percectly acceptable as is celebrating their achievments and songs you played live to 10's of thousands hundreds of times. I dont like many of my friends bands but if I'm in town I'll still go down and say hi and hang backstage. I'm not expecting them to be in the front row waving fucking lighters during Patience.

I'm not expecting anything other than the NITL line up, I suspect they are probably trying to walk the line of acknowledging the classic line up but not being misleading. Probably but I'm still holding out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would they be playing if it wasn't for Izzy, ever think of that? He wrote so much of the music! And it's a matter of principle and respect, Izzy is not going to be treated as some guest spot in his own band like he is a monkey in a skirt, he is to be treated equally, on all counts. Funny you call him greedy but not the 3 who left him out because he dare wanted to be treated as an equal, as it should be! Duff is a greedy , 2-face and frankly , he is more disposable than Izzy or Adler if you want to play that game. The fact is, it took all 5 and if you are honest, they don't sound as good as they could , frank's drumming is not good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the sound, I totally agree. The band would sound way better if it was Slash, Axl, Steven, Izzy and Tommy Stinson than it does now. I love Duff too, though, and I'm glad he is where he belongs. It's a shame that's not the case with Steven and Izzy. This is THEIR FUCKING BAND TOO. Probably some idiot will come and say "Izzy decided to quit" but so did everyone else except for Steven. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
