Some fans if they want to obliviate gnr from all media and fans. They are killing off their current fanbase and any potential for new fans.

Popular Post GNRfanJen Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) I've mentioned it before, but it's big thanks to people like Frans, Gibbo, and the many others, and their vault of bootlegs that they graciously posted on their YouTube accounts, that was a huge part in making me such a massive, crazy, obsessed, passionate, diehard (the list goes on, lol) GN'R fan. My favorite band ever (yes, even still in 2020). I know I'm not the only one. I'm a bit on the younger side of the fanbase; I wasn't even alive to experience their prime, and it's not like I had access to tapes to learn about GN'R. A large part of it came from the community who shared what they had on a social medium (e.g. YouTube). I poured over that mass of material that was on YouTube like nobody's business. That was apart of my GN'R curriculum. Don't get me wrong, there's still a decent amount of footage on there, but as we all know, nowhere like it used to be. Just saddens me because as @vloorsmentioned, if they want to accrue new fans, this isn't the way to do it. I know someone posted another link to this footage, I hope that doesn't get taken down. Edit: Didn't mean to go on a tangent, haha. Just upsetting. Edited March 31, 2020 by GNRfanJen 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc_gunner Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Meanwhile on Metallica's YouTube Channel (FREE): - Metallica: Live in Paris, France - September 8, 2017 - Metallica LIVE from ACL Music Fest 2018 on Red Bull TV These are just a couple of live sets on their YouTube channel. Move on over to their Met Club (also free to join) and I can and did download for FREE: - 30 Years of Justice (entire Justice for All tracks live dating from late 80's to close to present date) - WorldWired in Europe: 2017-2018 (Live WorldWired tour from 8 various concerts) And to top it off I just paid $50 to join their vinyl club that ships four 7” vinyl records featuring rare, demo, and live cuts from the vault throughout the year (you could have also opted for all 4 at once). These are handpicked tracks that you can not buy in stores or even on their site. Also through the year you will receive extra's like picks, stickers, posters, etc... Guns tops all of my other favorite bands by a mile, but it is like an abusive relationship. I just keep finding excuses to stick around. Waiting for them to do stuff like Metallica. And I know it's never going to happen. Yet I'm still here... 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycgunner Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Wow, so lame to remove. And it’s one guy, who has likely been socially distancing for years before we needed to do it? Get a life, mate. Be kind to others. Gn’R’s history is longer than its future. Stop preventing people from enjoying music and the band they love.

Live Like a Suicide Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Fighting back is pointless as these efforts are quietly supported by Team Brazil. Beta herself, during an attack on a fan, said that 1) they don't know who's doing it (which is a blatant lie), and immediately followed with 2) it will continue to happen (meaning they know and either tacitly approve it or don't care).

What I'm gonna say is very personal so no offense to anyone. The problem I have with GNR is that since 2018 I don't give a fuck about them or current state of the band anymore. I'm just checking MyGnr and smth else over discord only for bootlegs collection or discussions about the past (90s, '02, '06 etc). In fact the more I see Axl getting older the less I'm interested in hearing a new album or anniversary album or anything "new". Don't get me wrong; there's nothing wrong with seeing your favorite artist getting old. I liked the older David Bowie or Gilmour. But problem with Axl is that the guy seem to be less and less engaged with music and his vocal performance is literally embarrasing and unlistenable. I personally would get embarrassed to play most of the post 2012 live performances on loud speaker or inside the car for anyone. I don't really get excited anymore to hear or see anything new from this band. Unfortunately those village sessions leaks (despite being massive) couldn't make me happy like the old times either. I remember I was about to die from happiness when I first listened to Oh My God back in 99. That magic is gone. So long story short, Axl is done and I'm glad I'd faced the truth finally. I wish Axl himself could realize it and retire for good. Not everyone can maintain quality live vocal performances or release albums at an older age like Steven Tyler, Rob Halford, David Bowie & Ozzy and so on. Releasing new album, putting up massive 30th anniversary tour, media production etc doesn't get me excited anymore. It is worthy to mention that Team Brazil did great damage to fans' perception and imagination of their favorite band. But it was Axl who enabled Team Brazil, Beta and that Son of a bitch Fernando to do so. PS: In comparison, James Hetfield + Lars Ulrich never let a laundromat to manage their band. That's the secret behind Metallica's continuous success. Edited April 2, 2020 by ©GnrPersia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing things like uploading ProShot clips from every show, making soundboard audio available for purchase after every show, having fan meet & greets backstage (and having fans standing onstage at every show until a few years ago), and now live-streaming archived ProShots to help fans cope during the COVID-19 crisis. Whereas GNR, on the other hand, treat their fanbase with nothing but contempt. The manager of the band gets in petty arguments with fans online fucking constantly and treats the band as little more than a merchandising vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica was "my band" before Guns (my 1st heavy metal concert was on their Damaged Justice Tour in '89). At the start of my teenage years their heavy fast sound was right up my ally. Then of course came Guns and they gave me the classic rock/hard rock/heavy metal/punk fix all in one band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Third Man Records Vault, Pearl Jam 10 Club, Metallica Vinyl Club.......just a small sampling of systems set up for fans a long time ago. All of which offer good reasons for purchase and a true value for fans. Meanwhile, GN'R fans are stuck with Nightrain. Arguably the worst "fan club" in the history of recorded music. There's literally zero value in paying for Nightrain. Never had been and there seemingly never will be. That's beside the fact that GN'R themselves are sitting on a metric shit ton of material they could choose to share their fans at any moment. They should be doing that in the first place, and especially in the middle of a worldwide health crisis. The fact that GNR hasn't done one single thing to make any sort of effort in doing something for their fans yet speaks volumes about everyone involved with the brand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of greed, not giving a shit, and being painfully ungrateful. Yes, they don't owe us anything, we can always choose to not follow the band anymore and not buy tickets and merch but honestly I think they're just exploiting our love for the band and it's music. Shit... even the most cold and calculated companies understand that a good relationship with their customers is important or at least couldn't hurt. It will be so easy for Axl to give something back so to speak, but he only does something note worthy when he's got something to promote. I don't believe for a second he's totally oblivious to the situation. I think he knows but couldn't care less at this point. The band has been nothing but a money grabbing entity since the release of Chinese Democracy. I remember when Jimmy Kimmel did that interview with Axl. I liked it but when Kimmel told Axl there were some twitter questions from fans he looked so worried. No one has told him about it. He needed time to prepare for it. No spontaneity. what band treat their hardcore fans like they're a threat? so silly and unnecessary. No way Slash and Duff would have handled it like this if they were not a part of Axl's band.
