redstarling Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I am new on here and have a question: Why so much negativity and right out hostility towards Axyl and GNR, I dont get it? They are not public property and dont owe any of us a thing, why not just accept what they have to offer and get on with our lives, or maybe this is a kind of hobby for some? I am not being critical of anyone here I am just genuinely trying to understand. I posted a 'Congrats to GNR for billionth YouTube view' thread and noticed hardly anybody gave it a mention and yet it surely it was something to celebrate and be positive about? 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just lack of new music has plenty of fans bitter. The ones that stuck around and kept believing that something new was around the corner have become bitter. I think it’s made it harder knowing how much hasn’t been released that was done, but overall any negativity or hostility here comes from the lack of new music 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Plus the ways of their management, the copyright strikes, lack of proper activities (videos etc.) and some more positive, professional approach towards the fans, like other bands have... Still love em though. Edited October 17, 2019 by jamillos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Everyone probably has different reasons for feeling frustrated. There are users here that have followed the band from Appetite and beyond, one album of original material since the release of the Illusion records probably doesn’t sit well with a lot of people - which is only natural, we just want to see the band winning. I will never stop going to shows, but the lack of variation with the set list is another issue. There is people who have been to loads more shows than I have, but even I was getting a bit burned out by the end of the shows I seen in 2017 as they were mostly the same. We’re 3 years into the Not In This Lifetime tour and while the band is firing on all cylinders, we were led to believe that the tour ended last year in Hawaii. There is now already dates for 2020, taking us into the 4th year of the tour and it does make you wonder when they will find time to actually hit the studio to get something out. In my heart of hearts, I want to believe that there is a finished product ready to go, but who knows? Those cunts still have a lot of miles left in the tank, let’s make the next 5 years some of the most fruitful in GNR’s history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty cheery bunch compared to like 5 or 6 years ago. I literally quit this site completely, didn't even lurk because it was a straight 100% troll fans and hate on the band fest. I'm grateful to the mods for changing things up when they created the "Jungle" sub forum. Prior to that the main board was full of threads like "How cunty is Axl?" "How many cocks has Axl sucked, here are the ones we know..." It was legit brutal, and unreadable. I couldn't take coming here, because it made me upset to read the forum, I wanted to argue with everyone. This is coming from someone who says snarky sarcastic shit about they band, but the forum was just venom and hate. I'm not joking or exaggerating. There was a time that this was NOT a forum for fans. I'm very glad the mods changed it up. Edited October 17, 2019 by DeadSlash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagszilla Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Because Axyl isn’t a demigod and should be held accountable like anyone else.

Because if you act like a cock in life people will call you a cock. The problem arises when those people have some sort of investment in you i.e. they like your music so you end up with this sort of petitionary negativity here. There's no one here who doesn't want Axl to perform well or release good music, its just that the general consensus is that he doesn't, hence the negativity and protestations. Its really not a complicated proposition, the protestations speak for themselves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RONIN Posted October 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Because Rose is a clownish figure who mostly inspires contempt from diehards. A lot of us find him (and the band) unintentionally hilarious. Because GnR is the most poorly run act in the industry with utterly incompetent management. It's simply incomprehensible how much of a trainwreck the organization is. Because no new music in over a decade. Because no Stradlin'. Because Axl's horrid sense of fashion and infinite costume changes. Take your pick. The fan service is an absolute travesty. The band in many ways is a joke with an abysmal track record since '91. The vitriol is well earned. Also, Axl Pose Dressing Room Requirements. Edited October 17, 2019 by RONIN 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Yeah, the way Team Brazil acts and treats the fans is a big part of it I believe. The whole Chinese era was very exhausting for the fans as well, not just for Axyl. With very little reward to most. Now we have Sluff back since 2016 and still not a single new song, at least it looks like that will change relatively soon. It's hard to be a GnR fan and it would take very little effort from the band to change that for the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Let's cut the crap and think for a second that we dont have Axl and GNR any more. Still have negativity? We NEED him. But we also need him to make music, bring back Izzy and Steven, and have a proper management too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
