(unless it's very evident, but that's not the case here) That being said, I've told you this before, your posts are often unfounded and full of odd claims. I wouldn't call it trolling, but I get some strange satisfaction out of calling you out on your obvious nonsense around here.

Lio Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 3 hours ago, action said: it doesn't matter if it's the tabloids. you claimed "If artists look unhealthy/doped up/botoxed/whatever, you read it in the reviews. The media are obsessed with looks." Now you're effectively changing the goalpost by claiming you haven't paid attention to those. that the media hasn't noticed Axl's unhealthy appearance is just flat out incorrect. So the tabloids have noticed it, many fans on here have noticed it, and other fans like you and @EvanG claim you see nothing out of the ordinary. Well, many people do. Show me where the tabloids noticed it then. And answer me this then: do you know any people with serious health issues that give 3 hours+ shows, multiple times a week, for a couple of months, at any age?

Free Bird Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 4 hours ago, EvanG said: Exactly, and I'm just curious what it is that I am missing. Does he have a rash? A nervous twitch that I haven't seen? Extreme weight loss or gain? Green tongue? I mean, there must be a reason why he looks so unhealthy according to all of you, right? But you can't even answer, so let's end this little bullshit conversation because you are not going to answer anyway. Obviously it's nothing they can proof and it's easy to find excuses like this, to tell why their hero isn't able to performe anymore like he used to. The truth is, he is able to performe if he tries. He proofed that with ACDC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, outside of some GNR forums, I've never seen any tabloid sites mention Axl's weight / health. I'm not even sure what "tabloid sites" mean. Not sure if that means other forums or perhaps Alt Nation / Blabbermouth? Either way, I've never seen any site comment in Axl's weight and health outside of forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 On the health thing, my speculation isn't that there isn't a specific health issue but that it's pretty obvious he hasn't been looking after himself well since 2011. Re-reading a lot of @themadcaplaughs post history today reminded me off the mid-2010 album rejection by the label that was the catalyst for him not caring about trying to release anything. Going back to 2006, that fucking guy had worked his ass off to get in 1992 shape with the abs and everything. There are memes where his face has been swapped over with a 1992 pic and besides the goatee there's barely any difference. He arguably looked younger in his mid-40s than he did at Rio 3. In 2010 he was a bit heavier but still looked great. My speculation is that from 2011 and at least in part due to the aforementioned album issues, he just stopped giving a shit. He barely aged for 15 years and then in the last 9 years he's aged twice as fast. I'm guessing lots of booze, a less than great diet and lol gym. Just look how much the skin on his neck has aged in 9 years. Had he been inspired he could have hired Jagger or Tyler's personal trainer or just done whatever he was doing in 2006 but he clearly stopped that and the effect is noticeable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liva Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 we should stop all the dumb speculating and just enjoy the fact that they are out there touring and fans are cheering and having a grand ole time. After everything they have been through since the 80's, the fact they are all still alive is a miracle, the fact they can still play at this level is amazing. We could be back to those dark years of 2003-2005 where we wouldn't hear a peep from the band and no touring, an exciting moment was a newly surfaced picture of a supposedly new leg tattoo he got in a picture that was possibly from 1998. I have listened to Sweet Child O Mine probably 25,000 times in my life and loved it every time, ill gladly go see GNR perform it live for me the 30th time in a row or how ever many GNR/Axl/Slash concerts ive been to. Ill soak in that 3 hour concert anytime I can instead of the 90 min - 2 hour concert ive seen others suggest. If the concert is too long, leave when you want, no one is forcing you to be there. If the band starts playing their 3rd hour to empty stadiums, they will adjust accordingly and shorten the show, that clearly hasn't been happening. If Izzy came back for this leg, before the end of it, people would be complaining that he is lazy, boring to watch and should just stay home. GNR cant please all 4 million + people. Enjoy the music and musicians while you can, because one day you wont be able to. No one gets outta here alive! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the best shape and putting on a vocally great show should be a priority as a vocalist......if your inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question how much the casual fan cares about new music at this point. The ticket sales might simply represent that the prices are too high for the demand. I was looking at some setlists from Aerosmith's current Vegas residency. They seem to play 17 songs a night and two are covers. Of the 15 original songs, one (Pink) is from Nine Lives and they don't play anything original from their last 3 studio albums. It seems that their fan base wants to hear the old stuff. Obviously they released a ton more music than GNR that would be in their "old stuff" category. However, I can't imagine a band like GNR could create anything in 2020 that comes close to what people would expect from them. Basically, if they release a new album and nobody cares to purchase/stream the new music then why would it be a selling point to perform the new songs live? Don't get me wrong, I'd love for GNR to release some great new songs, I am just very skeptical that they'd be great (or even good) if they released something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to insinuate that casual fans aren't buying tickets because of a lack of a new album. That's the reason a lot of hard core fans aren't buying. I believe the reason a lot of casuals aren't buying tickets for the stadium tour is because they already saw what they wanted to see, which is Axl & Slash together. I do think a new album would help to some extent though, especially if it had a big hit or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaskingApathy Posted February 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2020 I think if GnR with Slash and Duff released something new then it would be a way bigger deal than Aerosmith or whoever releasing something new. Fans would buy it and want to hear it live. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It all depends on what they'll release. If it's CD leftovers with Slash playing over the previous 12 guitarists then I don't think it'll be received that well. But who am I to talk. I don't see them releasing anything new to be honest.

-Jaro- Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Todays casual fans are interested in hype. Reunion raised it to the top and big world stadium tour was great success... with years touring novelty of reunion and wide interest fell... if GNR want repeat 2016 they have to do smth that will earn them worldwide spotlight and raise interest from casuals... for musician easiedt way imto do this is to release smo good new music... today, only Stones have constant status of gods worldwide and can sell whatever, whenever and wherever no matter what they do or not do... the rest need to find their way... Only other solution is artist death - that ensures big sales in months after - but for artist - it s too late then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liva Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 There are 3 GNR scenarios as I see it if they released an album today. 1. If Axl and his version of GNR had constant releases from 1994 - 2015, even if it were an album every 4 years with the various lineups, and then they released an AMAZING album now with Slash and Duff, the critics would be pretty favorable of the album and they might get a good amount of positive press and some comparisons to UYI and AFD but overall positive response, this wasnt the case so its... 2. Axl has released 1 album in almost 30 years. That album received mixed reviews, but other than the press of Axl is back out there and the 10 year build up to the album, the album itself and the songs have been forgotten for the most part by the general public, you hear AFD/UYI songs on the radio all the time still, SCOM/Jungle/YCBM is played at almost every major sporting event in the USA still to this day. A new Axl/Slash/Duff album will be directly compared to UYI and AFD which are some of the greatest albums of all time, its really an impossible comparison for them to overcome. Even if their songs were at the same caliber of UYI and AFD I think they will get negative press for years about it, it will take the general public like 5 years to admit this was a good album and chill out with the, "they arent as good as they used to be." 3. The album is good, not great, they get slammed in the media for not being what they once were. The negative press will highlight they are just a nostalgia act, ticket sales will decrease, casual fans will be turned off thinking they are going to pay top dollar to hear these new songs that they dont like and therefore not go to shows. Regardless of what they do, people dont buy records anymore, they stream. Rock is not the mainstream anymore, its mostly single person artists that a label can control and split profits better with vs splitting with a band of 5 people and the extra egos that come with 5+ band members vs a single person act. People will stream the record on spotify or apple music where GNR will receive between 3-12k per 1 million streams, hardly exciting for the amount of flack they could potentially receive. If i were to give them advice, I would have a brand new song written by axl/slash/duff and performed by them along with guys in the conspirators and release the song under SMKC on the next SMKC album, even if Myles ads sparse vocals here and there to make Axl a "guest" appearance. Then see what the public reaction is to that song and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, lightblub, they haven't...2020 Metlife will be the first time in this area since that 2017 show...so WRONG I didnt prioritize any band, I saw as many shows as I could, no matter who was playing within a reasonable driving distance. SMKC was touring in 2018 and 2019 in the NYC area, GNR was not. So out of this list of shows, you arbitrarily think I only saw 2002 boston and 1 2006 hammerstein when izzy showed up? Just those two? Those are the ones you convinced yourself are legit? If that is what you got out of that post and this thread in general, its no wonder you are confused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say i am the opposite of Jaded, being I am not bored or complaining, and I am still enthused by them touring. Poor word choice there.
