    I like the music, but I still wish it had different lyrics. The immigrants and hooray for tolerance!s part is pretty jarring

    Regarding specifically "hooray for tolerance!s," Rose said, "I've had some very bad experiences with homosexuals" adding that when he was hitchhiking as a teenager a homosexual tried to sodomize him, which led to the man ending up on the wrong end of Axl's razor.

    "I've had my share of dealings with aggressive gays, and I was bothered by it."

    I have no problem with him expressing his frustrations, and his anger in his music. Axl obviously isn't a homophobe his 2 idols were Freddie Mercury and Elton John. He was just angry at a select few and it came out in his music.

    I legit dont think Axl is a racist. Hes come a long way imo. One in a Million was horrible, but that was a zillion years ago. He was adadent about using I Have A Dream for Maddy and seems to have no problem having minorities and women in GnR.

    Of course Axl isn't a racist. If he was, I'm sure Axl would have never hired Frank to play Drums. Or formed a band with Slash back in the 80's.

    One In a Million was not, and is not a horrible song. People like to get offended and are too sensitive, and take things the wrong way.

    Im not complaining how much money I spent, Im just saying that we fans deserve it more than them. 

    We deserve? I've been a GNR fan since I was a child in the 80's. I've seen this band 5 times, and never have I felt like I "DESERVED" anything. We as fans, don't deserve to meet them, just because we like their music. We don't deserve shit. Being a fan does not translate into you deserve anything.

    Being a fan, is simply that. You are a fan, you enjoy their work. Congrats.

    Once upon a time all the beautiful models would go to a Guns show because they wanted too....

    They still do, except now they have grown into celebrities who name their children after Axl, or write love songs about the frontman like Fergie, Lana Del Rey, etc.

    Well its a big deal to me, I work my ass off, save money for months, then go to another country to see my fav. band.

    These models made of plastic just get free tickets with transport included? Axl, where are my 40 euros which I paid for the cab when you came on stage 3 hours late and all the local transport was closed?

    If you want to talk about luck, then well for every show they should do a contest of 20 people winning free tickets, real fans deserve that, not pieces of plastic. 

    Don't complain about how much money you pay to see this band. No one is making you do it. Your fandom should not depend on the band's desire to meet and get to know you just because of your hardcore support.

  5. I applaud any band that does this. Nothing wrong with having a bunch of fine looking women on the front row. NOTHING. And anyone that's going to bitch and complain about having models in the pit around them as they attend a GNR show is a fucking wanker. As far as letting these women backstage, I see it like this. If I was Axl, I wouldn't want a bunch of 25-45 year old men back stage telling me how awesome I am, and trying to get my autograph so they can sell it on ebay or so they can try and butter me up so they can listen to unheard material, or pitch suggestions of what deep track from Illusions I should play next. I would want a bunch of beautiful women around me.

    ...because after playing a 2+ hour show that's what it's all about. Relaxing and Unwinding.

    If Axl, Slash, Duff, want to hang out with models and celebrities and party after each show, I say do whatever you have to do so you can put on another fucking fantastic show in the next city you visit. Because this entire tour has been off the charts. And if you disagree, it's only because you have not been to one of the shows. You haven't experienced it.

    I swear, some people would complain about anything. Just a couple years ago we had, fucking DJ Ashba and that idiot Chris Pitman. Slash and Duff are back, they are playing Coma, and you all want to complain that GNR is partying with models? What the fuckin' fuck?

    Wow, he's really giving it all during Better

    This makes me happy to hear. Better is one of my favorite GNR tunes, but I have rarely heard a live performance of it that I thought was good. And yes Melissa ups GNR in the backing vocal department. One of the best hires that Ask has ever made was bringing her on to replace that idiot Pitman.

  7. I'm looking for some musicians out there that can help me record some songs. I had a band going a while back, we were kicking ass, and then the guitarist and drummer moved to Virginia for med school. I didn't want to start over from square one. It gets old doing that shit. I live in an area where most musicians play country music, and those who don't, play emo shit. So I'm not in a position where I can find some musicians who are in to the same type of music I am.

    So I thought I would reach out to the musicians on here, I'm looking for a guitarist to work with. I have lyrics, I need some music to put them to.

  8. I remember when Axl no showed the RnRHoF, and then when Bumble left the band, and everyone was certain it was all over. The greatest RnR frontman of all time, over. Now here he is fronting ACDC and GNR playing stadiums to 100,000 people, and he has Slash and Duff in his corner. He is on top of the world again. Ladies and Gentlemen, the KING of Hard Rock, Axl Fucking Rose!

  9. So the first night of Coma, it was cool that they played it, but Axl's voice was high instead of clean. 

    The 2nd night however... Axl absolutely tears the motherfucking roof off of that place. Holy God in Heaven. 

    Guns N' Roses just walked in and said The Kings of Hard Rock are back fuckers! Thanks for keeping the throne warm Grohl!
