Next............................. NUMBER TWO....................... this award goes to three people who have worked their feet off to eat the ass throughout the years.
They have spent quite a chunk of money coming and going, from one country to another, standing in lines under the sun, under the rain, under the wind, for hours, day and night.
Hotels, airports, backdoors.... they became the shadow of the band and yes, they got many things: pictures, autographs, tattoos, posters, kisses and handshakes.

The ASS-EATING LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD goes to....................... *trumpets*................. Miss @Lumikki, Miss @Hejanne and Miss @Sekh-met!!!!

You ladies have achieved it all!! Congratulations!!!

Ahahaha

Thank you!

Like @Andy14, I also am a loser who never wins anything, so I greatly appreciate this award

And I'm very happy to share it with all the other awesome people who got one (even if some of them are a tad confused ).

I'm so glad we all had a great time during this European leg of the tour.

It truly was special

Jealous is putting it mildly. He sounds pretty damn vicious and pissed off to me, for whatever reasons.

That said, I've talked about this to @killuridols and @Andy14 before and I'm not completely disregarding what he's saying. Especially since there is another guy who had a similar story to tell about Axl.

Reading the other thread I got the impression that some people can't picture Axl doing this kind of thing, probably because of the rather homophobic attitude he used to display back in the day.

But as @Blackstar pointed out in the other thread, something like this might even be the reason (or part of the reason) for his behavior.

IF what Michael Jagosz and Guy #2 are saying is true, then Axl probably felt pretty insecure and embarrassed about it (maybe he was even terrified of the whole thing coming to light once he started to become famous), so he might have tried to act even more macho-manly-aggressive and "pro-heterosexual" (as he once called it) to compensate for that.

In that case, poor cupcake. Where's the blankets and the soup?

Just want to give a shout out to the European tour, can't believe it's over  It was awesome, wasn't it?! I felt that these shows were different, it felt like I went to more than one show cause at almost every show we had a women's thread representative, who after wrote amazing reviews - not like the regular show reviews but something customized to the thread. I loved that. And I loved that some of you got to met the guys and told us everything afterwards 

Anyway, it was great, I'm sad it's over. As someone said previously, Europe is good to Axl - he leaved his room to take pics with fans ffs - so Axl, if you're not thinking to move your ass to our little land for good, come back next year 
 

That gif...He totally considered it for a awhile 

Beautifully said.

And yes, he totally considered it It's just his damn sickness that got in the way

(Or so I keep telling myself... )

I also keep reading that Grace is Duff's Mini-Me while Mae is Susan's but I honestly think Mae looks more like her father than Grace does. I see more of Susan in Grace than I do Duff. 

And baby Duff   ......I have such a crush on him. Not my fault the blond giraffe is full of hotness. His eyes are intimidating though. If I ever meet the man in person, I don't think I could look him straight in the eyes because they scare me. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.

Grace and Duff look very similar in some of their childhood pictures. That said, I can see both of their parents in each of them.

And I always thought his eyes looked warm and kind for the most part lol.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up for that, I'm pretty sure it will be another disappointment for all those who do so and the subsequent whining will be enormous

So I don't think he wasn't too happy about that, that's an ignorant assumption you made. And he released a real solo album and did many guest spots on records of other artists. Just because you're not too happy with his career after GnR, doesn't mean he isn't. If Slash would retire tomorrow and he looked back on the music he put out, I'm sure he doesn't feel like he wasted too many years, except for maybe some of those years when he was fucked up on something or other and therefore didn't get much work done. That's all I'm trying to explain to you, but you have a hard time understanding this.

I'm sure he would feel proud of all the albums he's put out, but I don't buy him being completely happy about the situation either.

Slash did everything from refusing to go on stage with Duff, Steven and Izzy to celebrate an AfD anniversary (for fear of pissing Axl off) to showing up at Axl's house in the middle of the night to mend fences. He was extremely careful concerning Axl in his book and usually refused to take any bait journalists offered him to badmouth Axl. And he clearly was down for the reunion as soon as Axl called. And that's just off the top off my head. If Slash really had been completely satisfied and happy with his solo career, he wouldn't have tried so hard to stay on Axl's good side (or at least to not make the situation any worse) in hopes of a future reunion of some sort.

Back on topic: That's great. November Rain isn't exactly my favorite GNR song, but it is cool to see so many people have watched the video and like my favorite band.

And I vote for the trilogy videos being amazing. Of course they're over the top and cheesy and ridiculous, but that is what makes them great in my opinion. It's part of their charm lol. And I agree, Axl should feel proud of them and stand behind what he created.

@Andy14 I already told you, but what a great review Very funny and takes me right back to these awesome moments

I feel bad for laughing at this piece because it is disrespectful as fuck. But people, The Master of Ceremonies - SLASH! 

I never knew Slash could act. 

I'm lauhing much too hard at this. 

 

Omg, I remember this! Talk about a blast from the past. This video used to be posted a lot on various sites back in the day when I was still a kid lol. Together with these clips of Duff playing a vampire in some TV show.

For some reason these videos of Slash and Duff failing at acting were very popular back then and also some of the few GNR videos (outside of music videos or show videos) available of the guys in the dinosaur age of the internet.

They're soundchecking TWAT now.

Awwww the Princesses from the cold thanked me, hahahaha @Andy14 @Hejanne and @Sekh-met   

That was something fun to do!!! Nothing to thank for ... I really wanted Andy to have something from one of them big threes!! (trees, lol) and I'm very happy to know that, by guilty association, the other Princesses got it as well

Awesome review and photos and best of all, adventures!!!

Now it's the time for our Princess @Lumikki

Speaking of....... OMG Lumikki, thank you for updating the whole crazy Perla/Slash/Meegan thing. I didn't have time today to go back on that. I see the SpankyHankywhatever returned to fight the other people back!
I don't know who are Nicole and David??? This looks like a really good reality show drama
BTW, Spanky sounds like one bitter poster from this forum, looool. If people were not saying she is Perla, I'd bet my dollars it is that person.

And the other bitchisbackwacko.... please.... she says "meegan is mentally ill in the head"   Yeah, because one could be mentally ill in the ass!!!

I dont understand the Italy reference and that user joy she mentions... what does she mean? That woman is effing clueless... Meegan does not mean to take up Kat's role at all. She just wants to take pictures for her and share with the people who follow her on Instagram. What's the sin?? TB and the whole crew make videos and take pictures of the show. I am grateful for all those little tidbits they share with the fans. Anyone upset because of that is just jealous or I dont know what problem they have!

Yes, I'm already packing lol.

And yes, reality show drama indeed This is all so stupid, I really don't understand all these people getting involved in Instagram drama.

I don't get the Italy reference either. Her crazy rambling doesn't make much sense to me. Probably just delusional

The bolded. What does that expression mean?

It means Axl is a hypocrite for calling Slash out on this issue, because he himself sucks at communication, relationships ad feelings talk too.

Or as the dictionary says for "the pot calling the kettle black":

Da redet der Topf über den Tiegel.

Ein Esel schimpft den anderen Langohr.

I laughed for real

And it's not a bad guess actually, the over-the-top hatred and dehumanizing attitude towards Axl certainly seems familiar.

But this guy's babbling is more of the pseudo-intellectual fedora-wearing keyboard warrior variant, while Niven's is more that of a religious nutjob with resentment issues.

On 26.6.2017 at 6:18 PM, GnrJasmin92 said:

Anyways, judging by what I saw, I believe Axl doesn't like Slash & is only willing to tour with him to collect his (last?) paycheck. There was no connection between them whatsoever, I don't believe Axl will record for GnR while Slash is there.

Right. There've only been a million pictures and videos from this tour alone where they're goofing around and smiling and laughing at each other.

They're not going to start making out on stage, but they're getting along better than anyone could have ever hoped for only a couple of years ago and that's all that matters.

Then we get to your description of Slash and all becomes clear. It's pretty obvious that you're just a MASSIVE Slash fan-boy and are attempting to disguise your bias with faux legal jargon. And you almost succeed.

Unfortunately your weird, homo-erotic hatred of Axl gives you away repeatedly through that whacky 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' style essay.

You scare me.

I agree. It's all rather scary if you read closely, but that one post (it seems to be gone now?) directed at @Oldest Goat was seriously creepy.

12 hours ago, Blackstar said:

I don't think so. Most of the information/legal stuff JustanUrchin (from now on: "the fellow poster") provides  or references (which is much less than the impression made by the amount of legal jargon used) is on public domain and available online for everyone who's interested (e.g. the 1992 MoU or "partnership agreement" as well as legal documents regarding the managing of assets, licensing, merch etc - someone here had posted links to these documents a while ago) and the rest is, I believe, easily accessible to someone working in or having some association to the law field in the US.

As for the beef with Axl etc... It's this type of fan that thrives in the GnR fandom more, I think, than in any other, mainly because of Axl, whose persona has had such powerful effect (to the extent that, sometimes, the fans can be a reversed reflection of him subconsciously adopting some of his ways and traits) and aroused strong love/hate emotions. So there's this group of  fans that "hate" "the singer" wholeheartedly, mostly not because of what he has really done and his past sins (this doesn't justify the amount of "hatred"), but because he didn't live up to the ideal image they made of him and to what they fantasized him to be (the rock 'n' roll incarnation of the American dream or whatever it was in this fellow poster's case); and then, the idolization was replaced by devaluation and throwing stones at the idol. Yet, they bought tickets to see "the singer's" new band... In a way, these fans remind of that biker guy from the St. Louis riot, who, after the trial and all that had happened asked Axl for an autograph.

----------

People in this forum have come up with narratives (many times based less on solid facts/information and more on fantasy depending on how each one feels about the band members - Axl mostly) about the current status and future of the band as well as about the reasons why there's no full reunion. So has this fellow poster. His narrative, the core of it, contradicts what seems to be the prevalent perception here (i.e. that Slash and Duff merely joined Axl's band and they're more or less his employees). According to the facts-based part of it, the partnership that never ceased to exist legally has been reformed as a touring band/entity. So far so good, as all things (e.g. the separate management) point to that there is an arrangement/mutual agreement, a form of partnership, with Slash/Duff having a say on the whole business. This is not enough, however, for the fellow poster; there has to be a winning and a defeated party in this story, and the latter has (of course) to be "the singer", so that the fellow poster's fantasy is satisfied: "the singer" must pay for the "piano hybris" that destroyed the macho American band of the fellow poster's dreams.  Thus, he expands the narrative with a story line (enhanced with poor -and at times distasteful- tropes, metaphors and imagery) in which "the singer" crawled and begged Slash and Duff, and now he's powerless, a pathetic shadow of his former self. Justice has triumphed.

Not quite, though. There are little problems in the story line that the fellow poster has to deal with without being inconsistent. First of all, the absence of Izzy and Steven: the fellow poster can't blame it solely on "the singer" without contradicting himself. This is an easy one; it seems that Slash, and especially Duff, have fallen off the hero status (although not as much as "the singer") as their current political preferences are unpleasant to the fellow poster. So, in the case of Izzy, it can all be attributed to the joint greed of the three.

But what about Steven? Money is not the issue with him. The possibility that all three partners may question his reliability is ruled out , as Izzy and Steven are the only members the fellow poster still holds in high regards. And what about the fact that the rest of the touring band consists of members of "the singer's" band? How does the fellow poster cover this plot hole in his story? It being a result of compromise between the three partners doesn't fit with the narrative that wants "the singer" crawling and defeated. The fellow poster had to come up with another explanation. And what the explanation was? That the reason Frank was preferred over Steven is the color of his skin, because the band wants to appeal to non American audiences; and Melissa is there for similar reasons, because she is female. In other words, according to the fellow poster, the reason Steven isn't there is because he's white blond and male. The ridiculousness of this argument overshadows even the "subtle" racism behind it, also present in some of the fellow poster's other posts.

 

I wish I could give you a million likes for this post

This is what true intelligence looks like, ladies and gentlemen.

The ability to see through thinly-veiled personal and political bias and point out the plot holes and underlying issues beneath the pretty packaging.

I more or less agree with everything you wrote, but especially the bolded. There's nothing new or insightful in these posts that any other GNR fan with enough time on his hands and enough dedication to study the legal documents available (and then write lengthy posts about it) couldn't have come up with. At the end of the day, it's still just personal bias, only wrapped in legal lingo. (And that's not even touching on the problem of using contracts and other legalities to draw conclusions and make definitive statements about the band and its members, since you know... they're human beings and not machines, they have feelings and don't always act in perfectly rational ways, and they can change their minds about any issue at any time.)

And thanks for mentioning how distasteful some of the presented tropes and imagery are (both in the GNR-related posts, and even more so in the post(s) following afterwards). I felt exactly the same way while reading. Implying Melissa and Frank are simply there because they're Asian/female/black/whatever was the cherry on top after all the Axl-related nonsense (and Duff and Slash-related nonsense, to a lesser extent). I also felt like my eyes were going to get stuck in my head from rolling them too much if I had to read "The singer... the singer... the singer... the singer..."  one more time. Jesus Christ

I wouldn't want that because they have notourisly a tumultous relationship off stage and i don't think the slaxl relationship can sustain that kind of stress, they're not like that, i prefer the material we get with a friendly relationship outside of stage, less stress, than a Toxic Twins-esque relationship tbh 

I agree.

Also, sorry to all Joe Perry/Steven Tyler/Aerosmith fans, but I just find these two really, really ugly lol. I mean, I like their music, but I don't exactly want to picture doing them anything else

11 minutes ago, Asia said:

I actually much prefer early Slaxl Btw, I don't know if you watched that Troubadour show and if you know what the actual context was for the fragment from 1:54 was:

Axl was singing Jumping Jack Flash and was adding their names to the lyrics, so he was singing "Slash was drowned, he was washed up and left for dead" (I think it was this line that was attributed to Slash) and as soon as he finished singning this part he immediately hugged Slash like that (let me guess it reminded him of some real-life scary situation). That was really spontaneous and sweet...

 

I didn't know that actually!

That's very sweet. I could see your theory being true, especially since Slash tended to pass out in unfortunate places and situations a lot. Who knows, maybe Axl was just messing around and being silly with the song lyrics and then unintentionally dragged up some scary memories or emotions. So he then had to cling to Slash a bit to comfort himself.

9 minutes ago, Tori72 said:

Is there a fan obsession for Tyler/Perry as there is for Slaxl? Are fans that crazy with any band?

I'd say so. If you look around the internet, you can find fanfiction and fanart for nearly any band that has "shippable" guys in it. Places like rockfic.com have tons of bands listed. Iirc, Metallica used to be very popular for this kind of thing as well (probably still is).

Also (or even especially) applies to boy bands lol. I've noticed the kids who are into One Direction on Tumblr seem pretty obsessed with pairing up two particular band members as well. The one guy that always hangs out with the McKagans and wanted to play Axl in a GNR movie (what happened to that anyway?) and the other guy who's name I can't remember seem to be the main pairing.

(Before anyone crucifies me, I swear to Slash God I'm not a One Direction fan, I merely noticed while hanging out on Tumblr )

By the way, did anyone understand what Axl says here after he tickles Slash around 3:20? Can't make it out...

I think the consensus back when that video first appeared was that Axl is saying "(he) ignores me." I just listened to it again, and yep, it still sounds like "ignores me" to my ears.

8 hours ago, Asia said:

But then why would they take all of them away, which I guess they do? Unlikely that "We love you" or something would set Axl off... Also Axl hasn't shown a smallest sign of irritation on stage for the last two years, so no need for that much caution, I'd say...

7 hours ago, MillionsOfSpiders said:

There is a pattern here though. Axl notices and acknowledges the sign.. couple of minutes later here is mr security to snatch it away and rip it up. 

I think that is odd. 

Not necessarily.

In Munich, they immediately took the banner from the woman next to me when she started to hold it up. Long before Axl even had a chance to see it.

And it was a completely harmless banner too (it only said "Greetings from...").

So I do think that there seems to be a general "no banners" policy in place, no matter what's written on the banner.

And I also think that they actually are concerned about people having a good view and being able to enjoy the show. Like I described in my review, they carefully watched everyone and as soon as anyone started to become even slightly unpleasant to the people around, they got a warning. If they still didn't stop with their behavior (like that one crazy girl), they pulled them out.

I saw the black beard guy in Munich too. He was chatting away with Fernando who was taking pictures of Axl's new girlfriend. He didn't do any thing in Munich and I can't remember people being pulled out during GnR. Maybe that speaks against us Germans being the most boring crowd in the world... who knows 

That's because they pulled all the people out on our side and not yours

Funnily enough, the UYI albums were also the first GNR albums I bought when I was 14 years or so. Maybe buying them first leaves a lasting impression

I know, I just wanted to make that clear because they were being mentioned and I don't want my previous comment (about being disappointed at certain people) to look as if it was directed at them because it wasn't. It was mainly because of a guy who tends to be one of the most reasonable on the D&N section and another guy who was pretty active in the Women's Thread until a while ago (if my memory serves) and was liking stupid complaints about it there.

Snort. People who like to appear "reasonable" in the D&N section can be pretty nasty and scheming behind the scenes. Or trolls. Or both. As in real life, appearances can be deceiving, I guess.

Ok, but I have to play my hipster card and this and point out that I've been making that claim for literally 15 years!  Every time it comes up I get insulted over and over about how crazy I am for thinking it! This is honest to God the first time in the history of any forum where I've had anyone have a remotely warm reception to the idea lol. Let me put it this way; when I logged into today and saw I had 10 notifications, I thought "Oh shit. Here we go. Everyone is gonna pile on me about The Blues" lol. I was so happy to see otherwise for once.

I've been thinking SoD is about Slash since before CD came out as well, but people back then just weren't ready to hear the truth I guess But yeah, kudos to you for sticking to your opinion for so long against all opposition lol.

I think @Frey or someone else in the WT posted a good analysis of that song once, maybe time to dig that out again...

It is a bit bordering on the romantic for it to be about Slash.

To the feelings that I felt
I saved for you and no one else

...

I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you

...

What I thought was beautiful
Don't live inside of you
Anymore

(The latter raises the assumption that he did think at one time, ''what he though was beautiful lived inside of Slash''.

'Sorry' however, I have no doubts is about Slash.

All these lines can be seen in a non-romantic sense as well.

"Everywhere I go see you" for example. I've always interpreted that line as Axl seeing Slash everywhere, because Slash literally was everywhere during these years; Slash was out and about working on his career, playing with all kinds of different artists and being very present in the media. Meanwhile, Axl was hiding away at home.

"What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore" - Axl has made remarks about Slash that fit with that line (like when he talked about not understanding why Slash was throwing away his gifts by playing with people like Michael Jackson). Also, Axl supposedly believing Slash lost his soul fits with this as well.

Yesssss, bring back The Blues/Street of Dreams It's one of my favorite CD songs.

I wish they'd just stop playing TIL and play SoD instead. And also play Madagascar, Prostitute and Slither (or some other VR/Slash songs).

My favorite part on the album is when the song pauses and you hear Axl's voice break the silence with "What this means to me is more than I know you believe" 2010 Ireland is my favorite for this part. He had the power to bring the meaning to it 

Yeah, that's my favorite part too.

Whoa. Dude!

You've just blown my fucking mind. I've never heard anyone suggest this before anywhere and it never occurred to me. I always assumed, like seemingly everyone, that is was a Seymour ballad (and the female visuals at past shows and female artwork seemed to back that up). But i've just recited the lyrics in my head and not only do they work in the context of a platonic relationship but they very much make sense in relation to Slash. Completely, in fact. There isn't a single line which requires a romantic relationship. 

That's fucking crazy. Cheers, dude! 

If you're right this also changes another assumption i've held which is, regardless of Axl's strong assertion to the contrary, that Sorry is specifically sang to Slash (verses) and fans (chorus). I did a line-by-line examination of Sorry a while back showing who it only made sense as directed to Slash, the old band and fans as opposed to a composite of enemies or another person entirely. And another another reason to think that was there just had to be one track specifically about Slash as opposed to the more general Madagascar, Prostitute and Scraped. 

But now you've made me realise that SoD could very well be the song specifically directed at Slash that does take Sorry off the hook, along with the fact that they're playing it. (Still can't get past "No lyrics, no melodies. Just shut up and sing, Axl."

Guys...

SoD being about Slash has been discussed and analyzed extensively in the Women's Thread.

Needless to say, many people (at least down there in the Jungle lol) are of the opinion that SoD is about Slash. And they have provided some pretty convincing arguments for that. So yeah, I agree with that interpretation too and yes, unfortunately I could see this being the reason why they're not playing it anymore now that Slash is back.

(Also, SoD is not cheesy TIL and November Rain are cheesy, but SoD... is a sad song about losing Slash and struggling to move on without him.)

If Duff dressing like Axl is an indication for Daxl, then what is this?
