ceres

Now I have a mental picture of Steven Adler in a poorly lit room, tied to a chair, grinning like an idiot.

This. Haha.

They were always a band of the people and this is their definitive statement.

A band of the people wouldn't stand for $300 to $400 dollar tickets (with fees) and $100 nosebleeds.. They are alienating a lot of people who would love to see them but just can't now.

This!

I think Guns would have scoffed at bands doing this back in the day, and while I don't think it's going to drastically affect sales people are going to be pissed.

We all know that these guys were offered a ton of cash but! wouldn't it have been cool if they said we'll do it for 50million, let's set the ticket prices at a reasonable price, we'll go out for a little longer and have a paired down show. I know it's fantasy land though to hope that anyone in business (and GnR is business, before we start that again) would refuse a bigger pay cheque just to give their audience a better deal, but it would have been a thank you to fans... instead of them putting each and every one of us over a barrel just for the chance to see them.

I think any band that charges over 100 (that figure really should max at 60/70) for a ticket are disgusting, it's excessive! and it cuts out real fans who don't have boat loads of cash at their disposal. Here's hoping they don't charge this much at each gig!

It's not just the band that's at fault though obviously but they can help dictate prices.

The reunion is obviously about money, but! let's hope they make some music, and stick around long enough, that the real long standing fans can all get to see it (if they want to go).

You are not looking at this correctly. The market sets the price that people are willing to pay for a ticket. If GNR doesn't charge market price (for example they charge $50 per ticket), then people would charge that much in the secondary market instead. You would rather see scalpers collecting on the value of a GNR concert ticket instead of GNR?

They should make 'give us some reggae' tour shirts. I want to buy one

Fernando updates are the worst

Jarmo posted that 13 hours ago, then he said the show isn't happening about an hour ago.. if he said it never been confirmed, why the fuck did he post the link to ABC where it states Axl Rose will be on Kimmel? Strange.

Edit: here's the later post

Good question. I thought Jarmo was always against spreading rumors.

Forces behind the scenes, affiliated and not affiliated with Guns, not limited to lawyers, promoters, managers and so-called "friends" have perpetuated myths and lies through various media outlets for either their own monetary gain, or control of the Guns N' Roses brand - whether that be physically or financially - without respect to the various moving parts that have gone into recreating the last 15 years of Guns, or giving a second thought to the emotional distress that will be left in the wake of their ill-thought out, selfish decisions.

Does that sound close to something Axl might say? Dexter -- hit up my PM if you need a new PR guy!

You hit it on the head. The only difference is that your letter doesn't ramble on for 2 pages.

I'm betting Adler is involved to a certain extent. Otherwise he would be squawking by now.

New music

This thread is sooooo painful. 130 pages of nada.

I am going on a hunger strike until GNR reunites. Or at lease announces it or denies it.

You're gonna diiieeeeeee!!

God this forum needs news.

Ha. Absolutely.

Those Marc Racco videos are sick. Especially Ritz. I would kill to have this show pro-shot.

I think you are confusing GN'R with Pearl Jam or Springsteen, i.e. acts who actually cares about their fan base and are competent enough to deliver archival projects. This is Team Brazil/Axl. Anniversaries are celebrated with a new competition for a towel via Nightrain.

You hit the nail on the head.

He doesn't say anything after peace is closer. It goes to chorus.

White christmas

No way, he's still in. If slash can do it for Ash and the cash, and izzy is too busy, then me and all the other doubters can agree to leave this thread. If only Fortus would escort us .

I see what you did there.

My hands are tied!

Yanni?

In the gutt-AH!

Awesome

ICP has a mythology they rap about, called the Dark Carnival and basically it is about those dark entities that haunt rednecks and evil people and the message is that people should do good before they die and go either in Hell ( Hell's Pit ) or Heaven ( Shangri La ).

It's a white trash version of Catholicism where Jesus is replaced with Evil clowns if you like and this song is about people who fucked up and what their lives could have been if they had not.

Hahahhahaha. Stupid!

Thank you and go fuck yourself

Most of these people have failed to do anything with their life, but spectate and criticize others who did. So if I were Axl I would'nt feel bad.

This

Good piece.
