Is it just me or... I mean, a sale is always nice, but shouldn't they have had the decency to still keep it at some at least reasonable price instead of this blatant spitting in the face of those who bought it at the full price not so long ago?

Well, I was 15 back in 1992 and I met him then but I never got any bandaids from him. Also not last year when I met him again. Wait - now I feel like a failure LOL

Joking aside. The plaster thing is not related to the assault topic but the photos the plaster collectors posted yesterday and that I shared here on the previous page are. Cause somebody posted that Friday was a due date in the case but that there seems to be no news about it. Also, as has been shared by others in this thread, the court has been trying to serve Axl the papers several times but he was never home and one time a staff member even told the court person that Axl is not the resident but Beta.

Since the picture from the stalkers/bandaid collectors show him 2 days ago I thought I'd share them here, to document that he must be home. 

Again, I apologize if that was wrong and took things off topic but at least it is some "news". 

All's cool. Beta holding an umbrella over him is definitely lame in any case. I'd expect something like that from Michael Jackson maybe. 

Feels like they're 15 and it's 1992, but oh well. 
Anyway, what does this have to do with a sexual assault allegation? Were band-aids involved? Did he use them to stick her on the bed or something? 
Or do they fall off him everywhere he walks/runs? Or how do we know they're his own? So many questions!

He's over-exposing, in my opinion.. he's everyehere

I see it as a sort of a natural orgasm. I mean, with Axl, he’s forced to do essentially the same tour and play the same songs for years on. So once freed, the dude fricking flies! 

Ha, I got Ashba's Badge of Shame!  You know what, I'll take it.

I'll take it, goddamn it. I'll just smash the mic and I'm out of here. Hand me that shirt. Hand me that shirt!!! 

Can't wait for this goddamn album!

I really don’t know what we’re talking about here. Forget all preferences in or outside the band. As long as Slash is in the band there will be just him on lead guitar and maybe Fortus or whoever is playing alongside Slash. Call it logic, preference or whatever you want. It is what it is.

All resistance is futile! It’s just his typical way of attributing something to someone that they never said and just using strawman arguments all over. I wasn’t talking about Axl or decision-making, I wasn’t denying anyone their preferences or whatever, which I even explicitly stated above and then repeated several times. I was talking about the majority who attend the gig to see Axl standing next to Slash, playing SCOM. These people are gonna wanna hear Slash on the solos, not Finck or Bucket or whoever the hell, and that's only logical. SM is using textbook logical fallacy, deliberately misunderstanding and twisting shit around into nonsense as usual, that’s all. I guess he can’t help himself. I’ve just wasted another few minutes of my time, but I can live with that and hopefully learn a lesson...

Your argument is that it is some logical that transcends personal preferences and dictates that Slash should be added to these songs. My argument is that you are blatantly wrong. 

Well, your opinion that I’m blatantly wrong can’t be right for the simple reason that you clearly insist on misconstruing what my entire argument is about in the first place...
I can't help you there, buddy. 

Just now, SoulMonster said:

Yes, so to these people it is perfectly logical to want Slash on the songs. But to other people it is perfectly logical to not want Slash on the songs. There is no objective logic here no matter how hard you try to make it seem like it. It ALL comes down to preferences.

No, it doesn't. For the third time, I'm not talking about preferences. I'm talking about apples, while you're talking about oranges. Simple as that. 
If you don't wanna see my point, that's fine with me. I think there's no need to continue this.

But if you prefer Bucket then it is BASIC LOGIC to want him on the songs. What you are trying to do, is to devalue the opinions of people who prefers Bucket by trying to make an argument that that somehow isn't logical.

It is ONLY logical for Axl to replace old guitarists with Slash, if that is what he wants. Obviously, base don what has happened, Axl wanted thsi to happen for the songs released. So that is a moot point. 

Again, nope. I think you’re only arguing for the sake of arguing. You’d know what I mean if you really wanted to look at things from the other one’s point of view. But ok, I’ll bite once again. In layman’s terms: we often talk about these "casuals", comprising the majority of the concert goers etc. For these folks, GN'R means Axl, Slash, Duff and the others. The guys from the heydays, who made Appetite and UYI, having created the world stardom. So far so good? The last album of original music these guys made is from 1991. Since Slash is back, whatever the band will release will be considered as their first record since 91. And an average intelligent person could imagine these folks' reaction if, instead of Slash, the solos were done by some former members from an era 25 years ago where, to the knowledge of many, the band either was on hiatus or possibly was considered an Axl solo only. 
Again, they didn’t wait for Slash for 20 years to come back (one of the biggest, most awaited reunions in rock history) to then have some nameless replacements playing the solos on the comeback album. 
I'm not talking about any personal preferences here. 
I can’t explain it any simpler than that. Then again, I don't think there's any real need to.

What makes sense can differ depending on perspective. For Slash fans or fans of GN'R adhering to a certain sound, then it makes perfect sense to have Slash play the leads. For fans who simply prefer Buckethead or Robin Finck and want the GN'R music to sound as good as possible to them, it makes perfect sense to not want Slash added to these songs. It is all about perspective, there is no objective truth here. 

Nope, I’m not talking about preferences, which obviously differ (younger folks may prefer the NuGuns era, because it was active in their teenage years etc., that’s understandable). I’m talking about basic logic, which is intertwined with the band’s legacy and history and songs. The valid argument as to what I mean is in my preceding post. I don't think it needs any further explanation. 

It's not about respect or Axl's whims; it's about basic logic. The fans didn't wait for Slash to return for 20 years only to subsequently hear some replacement guys (sorry) playing the guitar on the new album. Makes no sense. 

Did you guys always know that the round (UYI) logo is a view of a bullet from below? Been a fan since 1992, yet I only learned this in 2016 when they came up with the somewhat polished version of the logo...

So, how many of you guys watched The General official music video again in the last couple of weeks?

I've watched it exactly once in this lifetime.

Weekend viewing if the fun police are still on holiday by then....(Still up)

This YT channel has several full show bootlegs, and none of them has been taken down. 

Holy fuck

That was at the later Whiskey show, in August 1986 (there is audio of it).

Just SCOM and Ain't Goin Down is available, right? Cause I remember hearing this for the first time, and it's the fucking embodiment of GN'R.

Wait, didn't Whiskey have the premiere of Sweet Child? I've been yearning for that one for years.

But realistically we have ‘Monsters’. No doubt this is the final version and not an early demo so apart from it being released via official channels we do have it.

You're not wrong, but it's still kind of missing the official stamp, if you know what I mean.

Nah because what we thought was The General was Monsters all along, and a lot of the hype was connected with the particular tune, whether the initial quality or the later cool remix. So until "Monsters" gets released... 

To add: I (mis)understood this solely as a closure regarding the CD era. 
As for any general "closure" with respect to GNR - no, that’s ludicrous. It’s just one of the demos, and I still believe stuff is coming. Why the hell wouldn’t it after all. 
Maybe not as much as Slash hinted initially back then around 2016, but still. And since TG is actually Monsters, the whole legend thing was kind of a dud anyway, to me that is. 

Damn, Sshh is an interesting nickname.

Axl's should be Zzzz.

Wonder if the release of ‘The General’ was closure for a lot of people? Certainly felt that way for me, especially with the ‘Monsters’ leak, feels like this part of my life has got that closure. Anything from here on out is a bonus but I no longer have any expectations or clamour.
