I don't know if most people here only socialize about music through the computer or if they have friends to...but there was a huge buzz amongst my friends, who like GnR and friends who don't.  Just about everyone I know and work with would ask me if I was going to the shows in my area.  Pretty big buzz with no MTV.

It's a matter of historical revisionism in some ways.  But there was an album, chaos, and drug/drink abuse back then.  It is what you make it.  Both tours should be of equal fun and excitement for anyone going.  If there's no excitement, why pay attention and why the hell would you go to the show?

GnR by far leads the way with fans that hate, begrudge, and belittle their success.  Regardless, they have so many fans they sell out stadiums like last year and now this year.  NITL tour has dominated any other rock tour the past year & half.

Well then sending and exchanging ideas might be different than sitting in a room and writing? I mean, it doesn't sound like it went far...?

Right...that's how it starts.  DJ had stuff in mind for GnR. I think Bumble did too.  Never went anywhere...so it sounds like it did get Axl interested.  No they definitely didn't get together as a group and try to write.

I don't know if that's believable. I doubt they even wrote together... IMHO I think after the whole Chinese Democracy fiasco, I think it just ripped it out of Axl and I think that's why he's probably hell bent on ever releasing new music again

I think they've said they had ideas they sent to Axl...DJ for sure and I think Bumble too.  No, they never did sit in a room together and write.

Not to be a downer but would you bet on us hearing a Slash / Duff penned GnR album anytime soon ?

I know I wouldn't...

Who knows...

 Axl knew everyone would shit on Bumble and DJ's GnR songs and they prolly weren't that good...that's why whatever they wrote went no where.

The one where he's joking about Richard and Jarmo comparing sausage sizes?

Maybe that's it...

Anyone have the video of Bumble fucking with the Fernando or Jarmo or one of those kids backstage?  I think he was waiting for a show to start taking video with his phone.  He was teasing management and they were trying to not be filmed...they looked scared like "oh you're gonna be in trouble" lol it was funny...I can't find the video anywhere.  Saw it on some forum

Train wreck. How anyone could think it could possibly work with Steven in the band full time is beyond me. No chance in hell.

Come on, there's more than a few on here to answer this ^ ...?

At least the guy's still getting royalties and living well enough.

It's always been Motorhead for as long as Lemmy was around...

TOTALLY! That makes perfect sense dogging on an original founder and songwriting leader would make entire sense! 

yeah that wasn't another troll comment..

Who's dogging "an original founder and songwriting leader"?

lol what the fuck

Oh lol...if Izzy stayed in Guns with Axl there'd be those making fun or hating on him like they do Dizzy...

So what confirmed the Izzy twitter page is definitely him?  (Not saying I don't believe it is..I just don't recall the confirmation)

Hate? How exactyl? Because people comment on Axl's weight or how they wish Izzy or Steven were part of the reunion? Or how stupid Melissa's tweets are? That's hate to you? How old are you?

As for mockery. Think of yourself as a millionaire rock musician and try to see yourself insulted by annonymous opinions on the internet. You wouldn't really care would you? Trust me, neither do them.

The only GNR member who posted here was Axl. How was that ruined? He wrote TONS of posts here. He logged off because he wanted to, not because of the H8ERZZ.

This is a discussion forum where negative opinions and lighthearted jokes are allowed. Would you prefer this forum to be censored so sensitive rock stars could join us?

I'm sorry but your post was really stupid.

Disagree. This forum is the most level headed and "real" forum out there. It isnt totally crazy "Axl indoctrination" and it isnt crazy "fuck GNR" either. Its just a bunch of different views speaking their mind.

I was here for the Axl chats. It wasnt even bad aside from a few posters. Besides, it was Axl who started shit. His opening remark was calling a user out. After that, it was a pretty cool chat and he seemed to like it here. He was, however, even worse against Madison a few years later. He appeared, insulted her, and left without a word.

The only time things got actually bad, was one incident where Ron came here. A FEW posters, none of which post here anymore, took it upon themselves to be completely disrespectful and troll the board.

Wow.  I simply based my observations from crap I've read and comparatively to other band forums.  Simple as that.  

"Who is MSL?"

Now him and Richard play Wish You Were Here, and travel together. Still surreal 

Maybe that's what I was thinking of...thanks.

I assume that he is still a bit mad about the fact that Slash couldn't remember his name 

...that was Ashba that Slash couldn't remember his name, wasn't it?

lol.. I'd prefer Steven too I just thought you were saying there is no difference between Matt and Frank... Steven is the best but Matt would be 100X better than Frank.. Slash's drummer would be too.

I was being sarcastic to show the if dislike Frank so much you may as well dislike Matt so much.  To each their own.  I'd rather Adler if he wasn't such a goon.  He fucked it all up for himself though.  I think it's just fine the way it is right now.  Bringing the orignal 5 back is only as cool as some people think it'd be if they came back in their 20's.  So cue that time machine...  

I don't think Frank is that bad while I acknolwedge sometimes he misses on Brownstone.  Matt Sorum though, my personal opinion of him is low to say the least.

Matt is the drummer on like 45 of the bands studio tracks... Most of Live Era.. The Tokyo DVDs... Like 10 music videos... And he didn't suck at playing Gn'R songs like Frank Does.. Matt > Frank

Yeah fuck that, it should have been Steven on those tracks.  Not that scab Sorum..what a hack.  No swing or groove.

Why do you care if they sell out stadiums or not? Is Axl giving you a cut of it?

what matters is that Steven and Izzy have huge contributions to the band and are equally GNR as Axl/Slash/Duff

 

In 1990ish yes.  In 2017, no...not at all.

Cause VR was also a side project

but this is supposedly a Guns N Roses reunion

like that Duff and Slash backstabbed Matt too, they chose someone like Frank over Matt, it doesnt means Matt is not a good drummer

Matt was a "hired gun" as some like to say.  What's the difference between bitching about Frank and not him?  Matt doesn't matter if you don't think Frank should be there.
