GNR must be very pleased with such happy fanbase 🤘🏼 Hope you all noticed the irony.... Just wondering why you still hang around if they are that bad? GNR have created the current perception among their fans. I can't say if they're pleased with that or not, but they have certainly created it. Also, many people stay on this forum for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which is that most truly hope GNR will actually release new material one day. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that GNR are "bad", but rather frustrating. Taking into account how crazy the Chinese Democracy debacle was, even for someone like me who came into GNR fandom in 2004/2005 let alone those who were there all along - and all the missed opportunities since then as well, it is easy to find ourselves still passionate about GNR but just frustrated at all the paths and roads not taken by them Edited February 15, 2019 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but in this case Slashs word means no more to me than Fortus' Slash has a bit more weight to him than Fortus, metaphorically and figuratively 😋 Maybe Slash is willing to tour endlessly for the money, because he has the creative freedom of SMKC but I figure he'd get bored and leave... I think Axl wouldn't want that, so the leverage is that without new material he loses members just like with Bumblefoot (who admittedly Is/was not anywhere close to Slash's importance to ticket sales).

BadApples87 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Sounds like Slash, Duff, and Fortus have new material. Now it is a waiting game for Axl to put the pen to the paper and the pipes to the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it is a waiting game for Axl to put the pen to the paper and the pipes to the mic. The three of them should start a side project. That's the most realistic way to get new music.

Fashionista Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 At this point, I would honestly take re-recordings of songs from Snakepit and Duff's first solo album with different arrangements and new Axl lyrics and vocals. I'd be happy with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a laundry list of entitlement reasons why they can spend their precious time here on Earth bashing a band they once liked or now hate. Some people prefer their Internet personalties to their real world lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, what's wrong with people being honest about how they feel? I don't know of any other band that has repeatedly cried wolf in terms of releasing new music, so yeah when fans hear this stuff it is fair to be a little pessimistic! Let's see where this goes, hopefully it's something! and if it's nothing then GNR really can't blame their fans for being bummed and negative. The majority of people here love GNR (at least some version of the band). You don't need to discuss what's happening now, there's plenty of discussions talking about the AFD era or the CD era. It's not all current talk, if it was then this forum would have been empty years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all current talk, if it was then this forum would have been empty years ago. Nothing wrong with people expressing how they feel. There's space on both sides of this issue. For some having someone like Slash make this comment is different than say someone like Fortus. For others, it's a story told many times before by even the likes of Axl and it all amounted to nothing. It should be pretty apparent from our posts that there's even different perspectives offered by the forum's different administrators. We're certainly not a monolith here. I'm a little more hopeful if not skeptical while @RussTCB is far less so. If people who run this forum can disagree or have different perspectives without taking jabs at the community as whole, so too can everyone else. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Criticizing the band or Axl is completely valid. But there are posters who seem to have made a hobby out of bitching about everything GnR (or specifically Axl) does and that's pretty much all they do on here day in, day out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've followed the band from the early days it's more understandable why they are more pessimistic than maybe the younger fans. It can be very frustrating being let down so many times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be very frustrating being let down so many times. I have, or at least since the early 90s, and I'm disappointed about the lack of new music as much as the next fan, and when they released a 30+ year old song last year it sounded like a bad joke to me, but there's no point in constantly repeating myself or talking about what a bad guy Axl is over and over. I think it's a waste of time. I know most aren't like that, but some people really can't say anything positive and keep on repeating themselves over the same issues... at least that's my impression.

I agree with this.

Just now, StrangerInThisTown said: If the demand is there and he makes shitloads of money, I think he will lol. Yeah im hoping thats not the case. I think he would put his efforts into new and original stuff with SMKC than a predictable tour and setlist for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
