it's called being attracted to much younger women as an older man. the reason is often sexual preference and when a much older man dates a 20- 30 year old woman it doesn't always mean its cause he's in some sort of a midlife crisis. in many ways, old men are still who they were when they were younger inside and some are not attracted or not nearly as attracted to women who are closer in age to them if they're in their 50's or 60's for example.

if an employee says "no" to me or doesn't do what I need him to do as boss, should I give him a raise? after you succeed you sometimes need a guy or a group of people to take care of shit you don't want to do/don't want to even think about. time is money and maybe Axl wants to use his to take extended naps for example cause he can afford it. it's not dumb if you require it to live more how you want to live as an eccentric rich guy. Axl seems to have found the formula that works for him after trying a lot of outside managers. if using people he trusts is a priority, people who know him or what he needs, that is not dumb, it;s logical.

he's more of a clown and a producer

it's like when David Lee Roth formed the DLR band with Steve Vai and other talented musicians who had creative input. it wasn't Van Halen. it's just that Axl got the rights to the Gn'R name as I see it and tried to kinda recreate the Gn'R sound with Chinese Democracy.

could be seen as Axl's solo band, doesn't mean it was Gn'R, just because totally different players were also involved in the creative process imo.

what is there to take personally here? everytime someone disagrees with you, you take it very poorly and you end the discussion. I suggest you take a look at the loop you're in instead of projecting whatever it is going on with you on me, as I'm simply doing what I've always done around here, trying to discuss Gn'R here with other people without it being silly like you, yet again, explaining to everyone how we should always leave room for interpretation and respect each others opinion. I feel like instead of focusing on the topic at hand, you just keep repeating yourself so thought I should let you know so maybe you'll see that I'm already aware of that.

even when you use the word "definitely" you follow it with the word "might". are you aware that you invest a lot of words and time in making sure that everyone knows that it's open ended, opinion based, etc? did I say that @jacdaniel didn't have a good point? I was just sharing my thoughts about how I see it. I hope that's ok. I don't care much about what the majority wants. I try to see it for what it is, not what I want it to be. I think that beggars can't be choosers anyway. I believe that everything we get from now on is a bonus,

yes, very good. all opinions are valid. I never thought otherwise or tried to present my opinions as fact. must we go through this shit everytime we're trying to discuss Gn'R? you seem to have a need to repeat how it's not black and white, how it's open to speculation, etc. I realize that. and also, btw, I don't consider Chinese Democracy to be a Gn'R album, but everything that you've said in your post doesn't change what I said in my original post in this thread about why I think that Axl is releasing his Chinese material. mostly for himself, mostly to finish what he started.

but he said he wanted to release Absurd back in 2013 if I'm not mistaken

do you think Axl chose to release Absurd as the first single of the current lineup cause the top priority in his mind was how the material was going to be accepted by Gn'R fans? or did he do that more for himself? my guess is that maybe it's nice for him when some fans enjoy what he chooses to release, but that it's more about finishing what he started and then maybe he'll move on from it after all the old Chinese tunes that he wants to release are out there, officially.

"all that Chinese stuff" is probably the most you're going to get from Gn'R if we're not talking years from now, and I highly doubt that Axl is suddenly going to release all that Chinese stuff under his own name after releasing 4 Chinese singles under the Gn'R name with Slash and Duff.

a lot of people got a stick up their ass about being a fanatic when it comes to Gn'R. as if it's a new thing to get attached to shit that has a connection to a celebrity/musician/artist what's the big deal, anyway? so it's weird. whatever. as long as it's not stalking and you get permission, who cares.
