JEEP11

ha, cool.

Thought I saw him in the crowd during the fight on TV. BTW it was in Las Vegas.

Cool, he wore a WM3 shirt after that dude in prison had that interview about hearing GNR on the radio.

If that last comment by Azoff is true then that is immature on his part. We know Axl can be of course, but Azoff is supposed to be the professional business guru. FWIW I looked around for messages on non-GNR boards, and some people who claim to know about Azoff's standard operations believe Axl's claims.

Ban this phaggot ITW2012. Every thread he makes is condescending to guns.

DID YOU ALL FORGET THE TRILOGY PLAN?

Russian (something) and then German Warfare!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I forgot too.

I like Axl's old gray smokers teeth from '87.

Wow, this guy talks about Axl Rose endlessly. He really must love him. Like, "totally", Mick.

Well yeah, he said he knew the band was over before they even went on tour for UYI. Hence the photo in the UYI sleeve under the word 'DEAD!' He had that placed, that was his message, to no one else's knowledge.

AFD came out in August 87 and I remember seeing the Jungle vid around December that year. Sweet Child came out the next summer.

Well the truth is the truth hurts.

You will be able to handle it some day.

And we will see if Brain ever comes back to tour.

He said he hopes to tour yet is not on the tour.

If Axl said nah we do need you, then that is a huge joke Axl would take Frank over Brain.

So if Brain did want to tour, why isnt he touring?

How the fuck would any of us know? And we and you know maybe 1% of what really goes on so just be a fan or don't.

Maybe it is being re-released with obvious errors fixed in the booklet? Axl might want a higher quality product in that regard; from his perfectionist side. I would like that as well.

And GNR has sold over 100 million albums total and 5 million of those were Chinese D. Maybe that is enough for him and he just wants to have fun now?

The industry doesn't work that way.

And I doubt he cares about how the industry wants it at this point. Isn't that obvious.

He doesn't seem to care. If he did he would promote his record.

I don't think many people care or thought about it very much.

Do you respect wood?

that's great the band is announcing tour dates, but my god, anyone here besides me think it's a little late to start touring trying to promote this album? 1st concert dates after the album were released won't happen until 1yr after it's release.............what a fucking waiste of a good album

No. There is no rule that says a band has to tour immediately after an album's release. Just because everyone does it a certain way does not make it the ONLY way. And as far as I know, C.D. is still available for purchase.

Looks like he should try Dokken.

I like that band. Saw them before Metallica.

Axl, just please stop making all negative comments about the old line-up and all positive comment about the ´current line-up´.

Please stop twisting his words around!

The topic was what went wrong in the old band and why he kept the name so he answered... Obviously everything related to that are not so good memories.

And you don't believe he genuinely enjoys the current lineup more than the UYI one? Well you're entitled to your opinion.

But in my opinion it's easy to see why he would.

Why does this thread stay open, while others with more legitimate questions get locked? Please.

I see someone from blabbermouth has come over here and is not aware of the many questions and things that have already gone back and forth.

Hey Axl, can't believe I'm writing to you now... I just wanted to express my deepest thanks for this amazing album, it simply can't get anything better than There Was A Time and Prostitute in my opinion! Best luck with your future!

X2.

Love the new album. Keep going against the grain and stick to your ideas.

P.S. My sister was close with Tom Mayhue years ago (2002 timeframe). She is a very proper girl. Late one night someone got on his computer / email and sent some pretty funny messages, thanking her for dating him, how he'd never been with a female before, etc. The next day he apologized and said that someone else did it. We imagined it was you perhaps.

Boo. I hate the chain stores like Target and Wal Mart selling AC/DC, Stones, and GNR shirts. It is so cheesy and anti-rock n roll, its a joke.

Old or not, if Zep goes on tour they will make more money than any tour in history. They will blow it away. Normal folks like you and I would not be able to get tickets unfortunately (without emptying the savings account).

So you assume that Axl's goal is to sell as many concert tickets as possible and take the easy road for public approval. Instead of creating what he envisions and blazing a new trail, however good or bad that may be.

I agree with his current approach.

has bitchslap been released as a single yet? i havent seen it anywhere...

It's metal. You won't. (only halfway kidding)
