Do you support axl rose and his decisions?

[default_]

Why bother putting the “yes” answer lol

[registra]

It's a strange kind of vague question, but I'll bite.

To start, I'm a huge Axl fan. I think he's the only member of GNR who could possibly carry the name without any of the previous members, although I do think CD should have been a solo. To me he made the band what they were at it's peak(dangerous), and although I'm also a huge fan of Slash, Izzy etc. I don't play any instruments so naturally perceive vocals to be the most important element of an artist. So Axls my favorite member.

Having said that, I don't see how any GNR fan can support Axl's decisions, regardless of how big a fan anyone is of him. The leaked CD songs are better then half the songs on the album. Some of them are the best GNR songs IMO. How Axl could of thought to leave State of Grace, Quicksong and Perhaps of the album in place of Rhiad and Scraped baffles.

The album was also good to go in 2000/1, and it didn't release for another 8 years. Even worse, the songs leaked demos are better then the released version(Chinese democracy being the best example for me).

So I think Axls work is amazing and it interests me more then anything any of the other members have done, but there's no way I can support some of the decisions he's made. For me the leaks proved to me that he's still got(or had) it, but I don't think that's fully proven cause of the choices he made surrounding CD. All the material is there, but I just wish he made better choices with regards to that material and the timescale it released. CD would've been much better received had he made better decisions.

Decisions on what? 

Clothing decisions? Nope. 

Political decisions? Yep. 

Releasing music decisions? Nope. 

Keeping his privacy decisions? Yep.

No, I do not understand why he would choose to prostitute himself to live with fortune and shame.

😂😂😂. My daughter(11) will KILL ME if I buy her that, and I fully intend to. This morning she came into the kitchen and said "Mom, my Google home hates me! I tried to play FNAF songs and it's playing Guns N Roses! See it hates me!" She hid behind her door until I cancelled it.

Merchandising GnR- no. Toys, Kiss band like stuff, no. Kiss market/ fans yes it works for them and them are only 2 people, GeneSimmoons and PaulStanley Add Kiss had Halloween costumes to cartoons  to lunch boxes  etc 1970s on..GnR , no.  Childrens book for his nieces  and Vanessa n sissy- in- laws kids clothing line should should be separate site, company, business, etc.

Music- No. CDemocracy should have been by Acl Rose , not GnR because it was not. It was his solo cd.Solo work.

[Amaya]

Tour NITL- No. For one part of just one of the repeated American legs out on the road  2-3 months, he could have given his onstage staff vacation time. He could have spilt the loot equally with Izzy, Steve, Matt, Gilby. Axl, Duff, and Slash  would not have been in poor house , bankrupt. TheBig3 still would walked away from NITLTour with at least 100 million in their wallets, ok.

His personal life- YES. That is his so ok.

Not sure if you are aware, but Chinese Democracy was the 6th studio album by Guns N' Roses.

Check out the notes in the CD booklet, assuming you have it. It has writing credits, among other things. If not, it's one of, if not the best Guns N' Roses albums.
