    GNR 1-6 -

    The effort to promote their most recent record, tour the world and release subsequent records. You complain about the lack of activity over the course of a decade, but fail to see that much of that time was spent rebuilding several times as well as battling for the right to exist when dealing with labels/promoters/managers/etc who all preferred for GNR to fail in the hopes that failure would = reunion. Despite all the stumbling blocks and drama, GNR still exists and has made serious progress since 2009.

    To those in power who have finally began to accept that Axl really will not do a reunion under any circumstance and maybe it's time to cooperate and make whatever money can be made from the current band rather than chasing the massive reunion money, any sign of weakness on Axl's part in regards to his refusal to reunite could refuel previous efforts to impede progress by the current band.

    If Axl is serious about the current band, his best move (in my opinion) is to show up, be civil, accept the honor, and go home.

    As for who wrote the material GNR has been playing, the old band certainly didn't write the 7 songs played from Chinese and Slash only helped write one of the 7 songs played from Illusions. He didn't help write any of the songs played from Lies.

    In my opinion MSL is pretty much on the ball here, remember when Axl said "if i wrote an songs now they would all be about lawyers and law suits"? or something along those lines; and a fe things about the name. It seems that certainly until 2001 was just a fight to exist then the departure of bucket made things difficult again...

    fast-forward to CD being released and you have it again the record label didn't care, which must have been disappointing for the the band (Axl in particular), but since 2009 things have turned around; it just seems to me that people on here are tooo quick to assume we are gonna have another 2 year silence at the end of a tour

    Hypocritical much?

    Not at all, but if you're going to make a serious accussation, you better be prepared to back it up. Seems to me like you're making a very lazy attempt to besmirch my name. Why don't you man up and actually explain why you believe I'm being hypocritical instead of just throwing out empty attacks? Why not put a little effort into your posts rather than continuing with lazy and shallow duds?

    Does anybody else think that GNR has become like Star Trek and we are all just a bunch of Trekkies?

    No. Star Trek is nerdy Sci Fi for nerds. GNR is the most dangerous Rock N' Roll band in the world. And we are the most dangerous fans.

    Because star trek never did anything dangerous... like the first interracial kiss on television....

    just wondering what i am, in your opinion, allowed to like as a GnR fan? is Blade Runner acceptable? or Star Wars? how about Terminator? or is all Sci Fi off limits?

    Definitely...

    To state the Bucket era was The Next Generation kinda indicates you think that was the best (or one of the better) eras. Curious... 00-02 era was kinda badass...

    As far as I'm concerned, Voyageur is shite so I would not go as far as to call this version that.

    ...for some reason I'm imagining Robin as Worf and DJ as Wesley Crusher now... >.>;;

    i like voyager
