Reminds me I still haven't finished 5. And what a great game that was. I also have PTSDs from SA's mini helicopters and all I had to do is follow the damn train, CJ! 

As for the older ones, 2 is an absolute legend. Running over the Elvis guys was just precious. 

I loved the mix, to be honest. But I don't play it any more. There was one bit that was almost heavenly, but it's not present in the final song, so... as for the mix, it's over now, it's all burnt down.

And other version is too "School of the street".

That's actually literally what we use here!

Well, fuck you too. "Brainwashed oversensitive snowflake bullshit" my ass, I've been watching people referring to their nationality ALL THE FUCKING TIME, something that does not happen with anybody else with this band (like Jarmo, for example). And Team Brazil is just the name of the company, and of course they are Brazilians, but this is not the same thing. Like @SoulMonster said (and I've said too), it's all about context.

I asked politely to stop referring to them as just "Brazilians". That was it. Now people like you got all worked up because of that and keep trying to tell me that I shouldn't be bothered by this even though I clearly explained my reasons - which you don't have to agree with, but there's absolutely no harm in just respect it. Now who is the fucking oversensitive?

I'm tired of having to stand up for this kind of thing with people trying to use rhetoric arguments like the context wouldn't matter. Again, just switch the nationality to anywhere else and tell me it's not weird to refer to a group of people in a clear derogatory way using just their nationality.

I understand what you're saying, don't get me wrong, but my point - see my reply to Soul Monster - is that it doesn't automatically have to mean racism. Because sometimes the association brings the B. word as the first thing. That's all. I'm naturally only speaking for myself. Please get my point, I hate racism and anything even remotely connected to that, I mean, jeez! 

Edit: I just don't like being dictated how I can talk, especially based on the latest trends.

Why not "black haired prick" or "mustached prick"? Why focus on nationality? And yeah, I get that it is easy to point to them being part of an organization called "Team Brazil", but my counter-argument to that would then be that you should refer to him as that "Team Brazilian", although cumbersome. And referring to the Lebeis as "them Brazilians" started much earlier than "Team Brazil" was coined and founded. So yeah, I don't buy it. I certainly would find it weird if people singled out my nationality when they referred to me, like "That Norwegian prick," "that Norwegian asshole", similarly I am sure you would find it suspicious if people decided to refer to you as that "Czech fucker". Why single out nationality? It makes no sense unless you think nationality in itself makes a difference.

Ha! I see what you mean, but to be honest, Brazilian would be one of the first things that would occur to me if I wanted to use some adjective. 
It doesn’t always have to be complicated, and what I’m pointing out is it doesn’t automatically mean racism etc. It sounds like it, I’ll give you that, however... close but no cigar, at least in my case. 

We've already been there. Someone accused someone else here of being racist for using "the Brazilians" in connection with cussing. Like "the Brazilian bastard" or whatever. And it was clearly explained that it's nothing of the sort. If they were Norwegian, Russian or Chinese, it woulda been used the same way. They fucking named themselves "Team Brazil". People naturally refer to it. It's not generalisation and please let's not support this brainwashed oversensitive snowflake bullshit that automatically assumes the worst because someone said something that may sound offensive to someone else out there. Fuck off. Imagine that I can call Merchnando "the Brazilian prick" and yet not mean it in any racist, xenophobic or generalizing way. Just watch some stand-up and be cool, man.

It's funny, here in Finland, where I'm from "the hard school of life" is a common saying. So when Axl sings "too hard school", I feel like I know exactly what he's saying.

So it's been surprising to realize that you really don't have that saying in the english language. How come Axl seems to be using these words pretty much the same way we use them in Finland? Maybe he learned it from Michael Monroe!

Also is common in here in Argentina.

Also here in the Czech Republic.

Sorry I don't live on the forum board dude and post all day just so I can get attacked by other people. In fact, this is why I don't post much because as soon as you do you get attacked by some loser that thinks he's holier than thou because he is a master poster on a forum. What ulterior motive would I have? I could give a shit either way. Just my opinions. 

You know what, I now definitely believe you're a lawyer. Good day, mate.

Something like this was bound to happen when they use a guy who doesn't have the credentials to manage a local bar band to manage their huge international rock band. This certainly puts Axl in a tough spot. 

Serves him right, if you ask me. They've become a fucking cult.

TB, TAKE CARE BY US, NOW WE BELIEVE EVEN MORE

We don't know that.

Well that Rammstein motherfucker didn't have to face any consequences for raping drugged up fans and him and his band continue to tour the world anyway so maybe all this will have no consequences for GNR either. It's only the manager and not the lead singer.

If she settles for money, yes. Otherwise, no. 

I’ve heard there’s a newer version:

Nando don’t 
I swear I won’t 
Withhold those photos from now on 
And I’m awful sorry 

Nando don’t 
I’ll suck your front 
I won’t be bad anymore 
And I won’t tell your story 

[Ref.]
Can anybody tell me why that asshole just won’t stop?
Can maybe Beta help me? 
That cunt, he just won’t stop 

Etc. 

1183. 
... "when Benzova attempted to reach out Beta Lebeis, mother of Fernando Lebeis and manager of AXL Rose, Beta ridiculed and demeaned Benzova stating the only reason she is where she is in her life is because of her son."

Chip off the old block, eh? Fuck them all.

Horrible, horrible, horrible and just so disappointing this has gone on in the GnR camp all because Fernando has been given the power to treat their employees how ever he feels like doing. 

I absolutely believe everything Kat is saying and I hope she gets everything she can from this. 

 

She should sue the living shit out of that bastard.

That statement to RS and them filling a suit against her first makes me think they not only knew this was coming but that it would be big time damage. 
 

that RS piece, imo, only makes them look worse.

 

forget the “album”.. what an utter shitshow.

In any case, I certainly hope (and believe) this is the end of Fn'ando the best manager under the sun, the "yes, no, maybe" guy, the asshole present in every band photo in the last ten years... God knows I'm not a resentful type of guy, but he's getting what he deserves. I think he's finished, at least as the "manager". 

If Beta knew about this (how couldn't she have) and Axl finds out (how couldn't he), it will destroy him. Collateral damage: album postponed for 10 years...

I forget how it was worded, but doesn't it basically say in there that she needed permission from Fernando to actually talk to them?

I mean, she certainly would have found a way (DM in social media?), but as said above, it may have been more complicated.

They need each other. None of them are getting paid that much on their own. The tour being canceled affects all of them legally and financially 

They may have known. It would have cost them less to settle after the tour ended 

That would make it even worse, way worse. I hope that wasn't the case.

Slash and Duff wouldn't rock the boat, especially with people as close to Axl as Fernando and Team Brazil.

Why? Slash certainly wouldn't have gotten fired, that's for sure. That would have been the end of GNR. Axl needs him more than he needs Axl these days.

I am a firm believer that Axl respects all women wether cis or trans, in this world. He'll step forward and dismiss Fernando.

Don’t forget he might have been a bit brainwashed by the Lebeis’. He’s always been a bit peculiar and sensitive, and after all, when he and Steph broke up, guess who remained around him and been in his life ever since. I’m starting to wonder whether they didn’t have something to do with it...
