That's not true, they definitely do see each other and talk backstage. It's not like the Eagles or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blabla. They are just working with each other. the bigger problem is the non-communication with the audience and fans. like WTF? but as long people are paying 500 bucks to see this stuff nothing won't change. My Eagles comparison isn't so much about the relationship between the band members as everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slash and Axl can bury their differences, there is still hope in the world Next leg of the tour kicks off in a reunified Korea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is king, but im sure there are discussions between them during soundcheck. Didnt megan last year post pictures of her and slash spending xmas at axls place?. Im sure axl slash and duff do spend time together but lets be honest the brotherhood of how they were in the gardner st days are lonnnnng gone. It would have nice for the band to maybe get together and do a short video to thank everyone for attending NITL but the band has never been that fan friendly. The stones do get involved in that sort of thing but i guess as gnr fans its a shame they arnt.

Popular Post Chester 524 Posted November 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2019 I think some people are confused by all of this. GNR is a legacy band which basically means people with a mid life will forgo paying several utility bills that month to go see a band play songs that remind them of a "better", more carefree time of their life that took place 30 years ago. hindsight is always 20/20 this is now a job to the GNR guys. they might dress up in t shirts with skulls on them, ripped jeans and sing the lyrics to songs they wrote while living in the gutter, but several decades of an inflated ego, loss of reality stemming from being a multimillionaire and not having to open your own door, having people beg you let them "help you out" and seeing your face on tv, etc will help you lose touch with yourself, reality and your fans. I'm just taking this for what it is. my favorite band from my youth still out there playing my favorite songs. I know this doesnt mean to them what it did 25 years ago. doesnt mean the same to me now as it did then either, but I do have an appreciation for it. it's funny how things change though. because back then when I'd leave a show I'd be wishing I could get a glimpse of the crazy parties and stuff they are doing backstage while I sit trying to fight parking lot traffic to get out and wishing I had their life. now when I leave a show I think of 5 guys in different dressing rooms getting ready for bed in their own ways. I'd bet Axl is reading over that nights merch sales with his accountant (knowing the way he promotes people its probably his former dog groomer) while sipping on some orange metamucil. Slash is trying to find the page of the novel about pterodactyls he was reading right before going on stage and wondering how Perla won all of his book markers in the divorce settlement. Duff doing old man yoga trying not to fart while Susan videos him for her Instagram. and the rest of the group trying to find a fair way to split an Uber back to the holiday inn. lol. so basically I now do have a life like theirs (just with a lot less money, lol). I am definitely interested in new music, but I'm not holding my breath. again, it is what it is. I'm just thankful we are all alive to celebrate our youth together. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be interested to hear new music but hope it is heavily based on stuff they worked on 20 or 30 years ago. Just modernized a little. Because of the type of songs that made GNR great, I just don't imagine anything written now would be that exciting. Do we really want a Guns n' Roses version of Aerosmith's Just Push Play album? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kiwiguns Posted November 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Some people seem to live their lifes in the past or believe, because they do, the band has to aswell. The core 3 members of the current band are older and wiser in life, with their individual lives having changed from when we first came across them in 1986 or in the 90s during the UYI days. People seem to think the band and its core members are back in the past at a curtain time and age in their lifes. They also don't seem to understand during this period, the music industry has changed and progressed in its life cycle. Touring and playing live is were you make the money, for both promotors, labels and more importantly the artists themselves, due to the change in the way music is released and the reduction in album sales. My point is, of course this is a job for these guys, it pays the morgage, bills and for 2 of the core members, it supports their children. I would also add Dizzy, Richard and Frank as they also have families. Melissa seems to be enjoying life and going with the flow, something a young Axl, Slash and Duff once did in life. In terms of Axl, I think he views GNR as being his livelihood and a business owner. How much they earn is not relevant, as its their art and hard work thats created a supply and demand for GNR around the world. I cannot understand how many of you seem to begrudge these guys for receiving the benefits of there art and labour or find things inconsequential to focus on, like the live experience being compared to a theatre production or the band not talking to fans during the show. These guys were loaded back in those days and talked utter nonsense due to being f****d out of their minds. People seem to forget, during the UYI days the stage production at the time with the album covers being hang at the side of the stage, the walkways etc, was considered a high level of show production. The major difference from back than to now for Axl, Slash and Duff was, their age, maturity, personal demons, dealing with fame, alcohol and drug use.
