Some of you are acting as if the bands management, manage your daily lives. If this issue does not effect you personally, than why are you wasting your time on the bands management and how they choose to manage issues, that only effect the band. Its has been clear for some time, that the band nor its management are not directly involved in content being removed. Case closed. Now, some of you are concerned about the response by a member of the bands management to a person on social media , and have seen this as an opportunity to be little this person because of her background or questioning her motivation. Why bother wasting your own personal time and effort, given none of you know the person (Beta) personally, with this person having no involvement in our personal lives. Reading peoples comments, more so people who have taken to personally attacking the character of Beta or members of the bands management, makes these people acting on boarderline stalker behaviour, "A person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention". Some of you, have to much time on your hands. well said! some people take this way too serious. it's only a bloody rock n roll band you know what really matters? your health, and that of your loved ones, and taxes, food. and chocolate I refuse to take part in this "they are bad, we made them rich and we deserve this and that bla bla bla" narrative. nobody owes you not one god damn thing also, just because i dont subscribe to a certain general outcry, does not mean I can not post my take on the matter. all opinions have equal right to be expressed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueJean Baby Posted October 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 I consider Margott as a friend of mine and chatted with her after she was attacked with those racist memes. She loves this band and wanted nothing more than to share her videos with other fans. She is a very nice person, who has spent a lot of her hard earned money going to GNR concerts, buying merch and tickets. It would seem that TB does not realize that they would not have jobs today, if it weren't for all the fans that support the band and keep them earning money. And for true fans to get treated like shit by GNR management is totally unacceptable. Also these fan videos, do not hurt the band, if anything they make people want to go to the shows, introduce new fans to the band, and make people want to buy music. Sorry but this bullshit is totally unacceptable 🤬 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a charity guy. If I still spend some money and time on this band it’s because they still pleases me, they give me something that I want. And most of all, I'm aware that I'm paying a ticket to attend a show, not to intrude on their personal life or even their management thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueJean Baby Posted October 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 And I am not claiming the band owes us anything, but if on their official fan forum, they allow certain people to launch racial attacks on other members and after numerous people write letters to the admins there, and absolutely nothing is done about it, it gets swept under the rug, what kind of message does it send to the fans? I am not attacking TB on a personal level, this is strictly horrible business management that they should address and rectify. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stress Fracture Posted October 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 It’s like being a Manchester Utd supporter.

fantomas Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I always remember Axl's speech on the "Revolution Calling" bootleg where he talks about the new record (UYI) and encouraging fans to "Hey, if you can't afford it, steal it". My how times have changed. I don't even recognize the band these days. They won't release music, they release overpriced boxsets, weird useless merch and try to delete all traces of their shows from the internet. This is not how you sell a brand and TB is crushing this band. They used to be called the most dangerous band in the world. Now they are just the most litigious. It's lame... The leaks piqued my interest, but going again to see them live or buying live albums is so far off my radar at this point. I just don't give a shit. There are plenty of other bands who do appreciate their fans who I'd rather give my money and time to. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I will always listen to GNR, I will never, ever, understand how people can try and justify the managements decisions. They have had so many chances to put things right, to address the fans and to try and understand our point of view. They choose not to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margott, a passionate fan, was not "owed" a hostile reply by management yet she got one. And if there are imperfections that impact our GNR fandom, it is only natural to launch those complaints at the source of infection The takeaway isn't "we made them rich, we deserve stuff". The takeaway is "this management is not fostering a healthy relationship with the people who love GNR the most" Edited October 27, 2019 by WhazUp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJean Baby Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I know Margott does, I might, but would have to search thru a lot of stuff to find them. I think there are a couple of other people who have them too. They were provided to nightrain admins at the time several letters of complaint were sent to them. I quit going on nightrain when all the drama started taking over and interfering with my love for the music. The memes were first posted online a while back, but then news ones reappeared several months ago on nightrain, which were more subtle so most people did not realize what was going on and they were attempting to use them to basically trigger Margott, who knew exactly what was being implied.

I just find it baffling because no other band has ever had the issue, as far as I am aware, of management openly calling certain fans annoying while the people that love them the most can't even enjoy youtube videos, again like every other band in this world. If you don't care about any of that, that is cool but basic professionalism from them is not "free cookies and tea" like you are making it out to be. Most of everyone do not share that view and for good reason in this case If you think Beta acting like a 15 year old on Instagram because the wife of the bassist shared a photo of herself with the singer's ex-wife from 25 years ago (lol) is professional and insulting the fans who love the band the most is logical, well that is cool. Same with the band asking for videos of this tour from fans knowing full well the takedowns are occuring and doing nothing about it Edited October 27, 2019 by WhazUp 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
