moreblack Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 You know, in 1992 every party probably was playing GNR music at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Having trouble hearing Out Ta Get Me but that's definitely Bad Obsession. It was 1992 though so not surprising really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLotus1111 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) So we're back trying to figure GN'R songs out that the party goers didn't bother to listen? Great... Edited July 10, 2020 by DarkLotus1111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he's a 'fan' of anything musical really - just money. I don't think you can read people very well then. He's not a cartoon figure who only likes money. He saw GNR in 1989 opening for the Stones, and asked Axl for a GNR reunion on twitter like around 2012 lol (maybe it was Rock Hall related I dont remember), something like "do it for us fans". I remember him saying he bought UYI the day it came out. Edited July 10, 2020 by StrangerInThisTown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem he was there for the show so much I've read the story about Trump buying the Illusions in Mick Wall's book and in articles ghost-written by him, so I don't know. Maybe Trump had read about it in Forbes and went because it was a big event. Yes, he had tweeted about the HOF, as he does about everyone and everything 24 minutes ago, default_ said: Wasnt Trump founding something UYI related back in the day? I remember reading it somewhere lol There was a rumour in 1992, attributed to "sources" in Trump's camp, that he wanted to produce the UYI movie and was negotiating with the band. Apparently it didn't happen or the rumour was bogus to begin with. Edited July 10, 2020 by Blackstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020_Intensions Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Donald Trump was always a fan of the band, even going as far as calling Axl the "Donald Trump of Rock N' Roll." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Who wasn't playing GN'R in 1991/1992. Biggest band in the world at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsapple Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Rumour has it Donald Trump also drinks water! So both water and GNR should be banned now, right? Edited July 10, 2020 by adamsapple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him saying he bought UYI the day it came out. Well, I've seen many bands 'opening for people'....and let's face it, a Rolling Stones concert is hardly packed with the most elite music fans! People go to these sort of things to sit in the executive boxes and do business deals. As for his tweet about the hall of fame- so? He's tweeted all sorts of negative garbage about all sorts of things. I've seen zero evidence he ISN'T a cartoon character obsessed with money. Can you honestly see this 'big guns n roses fan' being any other than a guy who wanted a slice of being around them when they were massive and had shit loads of money flowing through when they rode into town? Really? Perhaps he can drop in here and discuss it. I'd be keen to hear his views. 5 hours ago, The Holographic Universe said: He said those things, but I heard he has no personal connection to music at all. Exactly. We see no evidence whatsoever that he has any like or understanding of anything cultural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that holds up really. Trump has repeatedly used GNR music as part of his campaign (using Live and Let Die at the mask factory, think he used Sweet Child at his rally at Mt Rushmore). Think he just likes the music. 10 minutes ago, allwaystired said: I've seen zero evidence he ISN'T a cartoon character obsessed with money. Everyone's human.

Given that his campaign has repeatedly used GNR music and he's a bit of a history with the band I think it's not ridiculous to think he enjoys the bands music.

jamillos Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 21 hours ago, Rayno said: Sorry, but I don't get you here, mate. I just don't understand what you mean so I'm asking. Guns were/are not responsible for some idiots playing their songs on their fucked up party, right? 21 hours ago, jamillos said: Absolutely. The train of thought was that I misread it as them having played there (I know it's nonsense), in which case if they were dissed for that by the public - as you've suggested - that wouldn't be fanaticism, that would be actually justified, considering the said company (Epstein, Trump), that's all. Now that I think about it - it actually would suggest some amount of hysteria, as you were saying. Because: this was 1992, when Trump was just a big guy that wasn't really known outside the US, and barely anyone had ever heard of Epstein, right? So back then, the notion of these two was completely different, and therefore scolding the band today for having done that (which they fortunately didn't) wouldn't be fair towards Guns. Anyway, off to have a drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
