    more than 5 million GNR facebookers

    in 2010

    Posted · Edited by Vadin

    for a band so inactive... one most wonder, what is up with facebook people?

    why do they like GNR?

    is it trendy?

    or it's just pure accident... even though a band so opposite in action,

    such as U2 for example has around 7.2 mil.

    and now GNR has 6.4 mil.

    why is that?

    ha?! punk!?

    could it be the music? nah.

    yeah I know they are about old GNR tunes, but still here they are, and they still like GNR.

    do you imagine the amount of people following now, that they would follow Axl's band the same way?

    and just to put some salt in there, wasn't from the start what GNR was about, that is - GNR was Axl's band? ha?

    or do you thing it's an accident the fact that GNR was for so long and still is Axl's?

    it is because he identify mostly with the concept,

    which, again, I may remind you, he invented it. just saying. B)

    GNR are the greatest band in the world still in 2011 that is a fact.

    GNR's been touring an album for 10 years... they have, in the book become a nostalgia act... they merely play the new songs and they have to play the old classics hits to keep the energy going, just like another 80's band

    but hey if that translates for you in the greates rock band... well try keeping a bit away form facebook from time to time

    here is an 80's band for you... http://www.facebook.com/MotleyCrue and see they have what? 800.000 people.

    and... http://www.facebook.com/Poison with 200.000 people.

    and just so you know, rock bands that are extremely popular these days like Kings of Leon http://www.facebook.com/KingsOfLeon?v=app_178091127385 have just more than 7 mil. or Muse (which I like)

    http://www.facebook.com/muse have about 8.3mil

    and http://www.facebook.com/Nickelback?v=app_5179614317

    whom last album, which came out in the same time with Chinese Democracy sold way more units and stood in the charts for so long, have just 6.6 mil likes on Facebook.

    and the best selling artists of 2010 in concert that is http://www.facebook.com/BonJovi have just more than 9.2 mil

    so, are you for real?

    The 1994-2000 era

    in 2011

    Posted

    Ive always thought it strange when I read something that Matt said when they got back to LA after the last show in Argentina (last one they were all together)

    And Axl said something to Matt like

    "See you in two years" or something like that. Matt thought they would take some time off but not two years and then get back to work.

    You go on a 28 month tour...see how long it takes you to be in motion all the time and balance all the past present and future out. Come home to a shitstorm and have to rewire yourself to being "normal" ...

    Ya know..maybe Axl was burned out...completely uninspired after UYI and then all the shit came down in the courts, with his woman, the band ect...

    think about it since he ditched Indiana and headed for LA he was in constant motion.always on the run, always in demand ect...what ya going to do with the millions you made? You cant be a rockstar 24/7. Throughout the UYI tour you can hear it in his rants...listen to them...sounds like disillusionment to me...most of us have no idea what pressure must have kicked him in the balls when the court cases started rolling in...and the two loves of his life come out swinging HARD..his bandmates estranged and eventually going off or being fired/resigning/quiting

    Mid-late 1992: Axl buys the place in Malibu; Stephanie moves in.

    You got that wrong. Axl bought the place in

    before they released UYI.

    and also, didn't they start to record UYI before Steven quit, since he's on Civil War?

    At least it's better than "Oh My God"...

    OMG is really bad, but it doesn't even stand in the same line as MW

    uhh.. :scared: OMG has one of the best lyrics Axl has ever written IMO. It's the studio version that doesn't do the song justice.

    Did Axl ruin UYI

    in 2010

    The only thing ruining this album is the shitty and exaggerated reverb on the drums and some of the guitars. Especially on YCBM. It sounds so outdated compared to other records released that year. Some of them even sound more '80s than appetite. With that said, I love almost every song on this record, I just prefer the live versions.

    uhh.. No.

    In case you didn't know, "don't cry" isn't very orginal.

    There are literary thousands of songs like "don't cry", and this is not one of the most similar.

    try with "house of the rising sun" instead :lol:

    OFFICIAL 'TAIPEI, TAIWAN 11/12/09' SHOW THREAD

    in 2009 Tour Dates

    The sad thing about all of this is why Axl didn't do this in 02'. I really thought the dude was bald. This is great but it also pisses me off in many ways. If he had started this way in 2002, everything might have been so different for him.

    His voice sounds good and he's performing a little like the old Axl. WHY DID HE WAIT UNTIL NOW TO DO IT RIGHT??

    Do what right.

    Get a haircut?

    What's that got to do with the music

    He's just saying that if Axl would have went with this look when he came back in the early 2000s, that he wouldn't have gotten so much shit for his appearance (i.e the braids).

    he had straight hair at the rock in rio show 01' :unsure:
