Surprise album release this Friday? It will just drop and turn up in the records stores one day, no promo, no anything.

(Isn't that what we've been telling each other even since before CD dropped?)

How many Tuesdays are there left in 2006?

F*cking hell looks as though @FRANSAD YT channel has gone once again...

Fuck cancel culture and the idiots following it. As pointed out, it's not even a real place. I'm now going to blast One In A Million at full volume just to piss people off. Probably followed by ABSURD. 

That is a truly offensive song with utterly reprehensible lyrics that should never be heard ever again…oh and One In A Million is pretty bad too

2006 Axl is the coolest version of Axl. Wish they filmed a music video with that look with the band at the time.

Are we forgetting the Better video?

Osaka, Japan (July 21)

Thank you - 15 years ago...my god how time flies.

Were the Japan shows Robin's last with GNR? I seem to remember it being either Japan or ANZ.

Everybody always says this, but that was never my experience in the several times I met him. He was not a dick by any means or anything, but just quiet and acted sort of...disinterested. I met him under different circumstances each time so I don't really think it was ever a situational thing. Having met everyone from to 09-14 lineup, he was my second least favorite as a person. 

Rate them all

Why do folk dislike him? I know he struggled on a few leads and wearing the ‘top hat’ was cringey but folk really seem to hate the guy?!

Not a massive hater myself but also not a fan - I think most people found him to be insincere and more about image/celebrity rather than actually contributing.

Sp1at used to have a dedicated website back in the mid-2000s and IIRC was pretty spot on back then.

Glad I didn't get ticks for the upcoming Oz tour... 

I'll stick to my memories of 07..

Axl braids/rasp

Mr finck rocking the guitar/actually caring

Pitman waving a towel...

Ahhh memories...

Completely get you and I appreciate I sound like a broken record but the two shows I've seen on this tour have been 2 of the most fun shows I've enjoyed with Guns. Don't just judge by YT, I guarantee if you like GN'R you'll have fun!

I don’t know how this stuff gets out there but there seems to have been a real lack of IEMs recently. An IEM of the Dublin gig would be superb in the absence of an official release (SCOM apart).

Funny you say that I was just thinking this morning I can't remember the last time I heard of an IEM being uploaded.

It's kind of gross but I've seen him do both at every outdoor show I've seen since 2016. Prior to COVID he just hocked loogies all over the stage. After COVID they gave him a garbage can to spit into. It is definitely not an uncommon occurrence.

Yeah strange I’ve seen a dozen or so shows since the reunion and it was only during the 2022 shows I noticed him gobbing everywhere (and into a garbage can as you say)

ABSUЯD!

Always thought the "flower" logo was criminally underrated.

There will never be a time when a top 20 list gets unanimous agreement but I like that several CD songs were in (definitely agree with Madagascar, but would've also included Better and TWAT) and not overlooked with great snobbery like the majority of articles.

I prefer the new version because I think Slash and Duff improve Axl's arrangements, but I also think it suffers from an identity crisis. It was the most "out there" new GNR song that we heard and it was turned into a strange hybrid which doesn't really hit. I don't like the song, but think it's natural home is the original Pitman/Dizzy/Bucket version.

God you guys are so over the top. This is nothing like 2002.

We need a statement by management today. 

Now the ticket companies have confirmed the postponement/cancellation it’s imperative that GNR themselves make a statement.

I was there, Warsaw gig. It was great. Retire your ass. Wonder if any of those people considered retirement after one or two weak days at work. They should. Loose it up a lil bit and have a good time while you can moaners.

Completely agree 100%. Warsaw was fantastic, Axl has many years left in him at that rate. Enjoy it.

Genuine question - the people calling for Axl to retire, have you been to any shows on this leg? Not a snarky comment, genuinely interested in the proportion of attendees to forum users.

The arrangement of the official release is superior to the demo, but yeah the production is pretty horrible. Shame really because I really like the song!

And I saw them Tuesday in Dublin it was the best Axl voice performance Iv been too. Seen him 8 times in total for what its worth. 

 

Not sure 2 nights in a row is ideal for him though for this London set

Completely with you - Dublin was an absolute blast.

Edit: AXL/DC was by far the best Axl show I’ve ever seen - genuinely mesmerising, but Dublin was brill!

the end of guns n roses as we know it

Really? I’ve seen two shows in the last 10 days which were without a doubt the best shows I’ve seen in YEARS.

My bet would be sometime in 91

How crazy is that!

Do we know the last time GNR didn’t play SCOM?
