Correction: Finck has worked on one unreleased album with GNR. Other than that he has worked with NIN and other projects.

And just because Axl isn't a great singer live does not mean that he isn't a great singer. I'd love to see anyone run around like he used to and be able to sing Out Ta Get Me note perfect!. This tour is the best I've heard Axl's voice in over a decade (and I'm confident that many people agree with me).

Robin has changed alot between this tour and the previous, possibly due to the criticism he was getting from fans. He's changed his appearance and he's added an element of Slash's solo's into his performance without completely imitating him and still showing his ability....and some of you people still aren't happy?!....I for one wouldn't enjoy it if they all played the solo's the way they used to be played....I'm paying to see the new line-up and their take on the old material....not a "cover-band" and so far the only one who's truely been able to seperate himself from the role of "hired gun" is Robin!

I personally think that the three R's are all talented guitarists in their own right and they all have their own important place within this band....I saw them three times on this tour and I was blown away each time, not just by Axl, but every members contribution!

But this is just my view

Just to point out Ron didn't play his bumblefoot guitar....I also saw his talking to some sound techs and he didn't look pleased...it's a possibility that this might have something to do with it...of course this is just pure speculation.....

I would love for them to play "Whole Lotta Rosie"......Rosie being my name I could just live in my own lil world for a few mins and imagine it's for me

For me it would be Oh My God, Locomotive/Coma, Whole Lotta Love, Boh-Raps (that was a great suggestion BTW!) or Estranged!

I have exactly the same hair colour as Axl....

I would possibly have to commit suicide if he turned out to be my father....all those thought I've had (not to mention dreams)

Isn't it rumoured that the band were re-recording AFD along with CD?....if this is the case then maybe they're planning on releasing it to mark the 20th anniversary of the original release and to mark the return of the GnR name throughout the world...

I know I would buy it....purely to hear the new line-ups studio version of the songs and to add it to my collection!

In my ideal world "Chinese Democracy", "The Blues", "TWAT" and "Better" will be on CD leaving the others to be put on a later Album....but that is only a dream....

Does anyone really think Axl is going to be stupid enough to put all previously heard tracks on CD....he probably knows the reaction he would recieve if he did that....

Either way we still get new songs and I can't wait!....if this album is to the same standard as AFD then I would be ecstatic.....AFD is the highest selling debut album of all time and in the top 15 highest selling albums.....hopefully CD will make it into the top 15 also....

Out of all the new material we've heard the one song I would put my money on for being on the album would be.....Chinese Democracy....pretty safe bet IMO

definately not a wig....do you think Axl would pay good money for a wig that has a wonky hair line?....I don't think so.....

Hairplugs are a possibility I suppose....if he has had them he hasn't over done it.....

That is agreat picture though....nice to see he still has the smile....*swoon*

GnR arrived onstage early at Donnington....so no...he hasn't been late for ALL his shows

My sister just got sent this link:

LATEST: GUNS N' ROSES frontman AXL ROSE has blasted Swedish police for blackmailing him into co-operating with their demands. The singer was being held in a Swedish jail after being arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning (26JUN06) for allegedly biting a security guard during a drunken brawl. After agreeing to pay a fine of 40,000 kronor (US$5,500/GBP3,000), he was released from jail. He was also ordered to pay 10,000 kronor (US$1,360/GBP756) in damages to the security guard. But tour manager MERCK MERCURIADIS says the star only admitted to the "violent conduct" because he was physically mistreated as well as threatened with up to three weeks behind bars if he didn't. Rose would have missed the tour had he not complied. Mercuriadis says, "We are in the middle of a tour. "The Swedish authorities were very aware of this, yet continually threatened us over a 12-hour period with between five days and three weeks incarceration without bail if Axl did not 'co-operate'. "They were fully aware that there were millions of dollars at stake, not to mention the hopes of tens of thousands of fans who had paid for tickets to see Guns N' Roses." "The point is, the police report should not be taken at face value, and if one were to be explicit, this experience is tantamount to being held for ransom. "If the context were any different, Axl would probably have preferred to spend the time in jail in order to ensure that all the facts were a matter of public record."

Don't forget that Bumblefoot doesn't know all the songs yet....that must be a contributing factor to the levels of variation in their setlist.....

SlasH_19...the correct lyrics for Civil War are:

I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

I don't need your civil war

Sorry about being so pedantic

Anywho I think the three R's are all great guitarists in their own right and think they all belong in GnR (though BBF hasn't been in long he seems like a really cool guy and an awesome guitarist)

I'll be there...I had to get seating tickets.....stoopid sister!

Travelling from Plymouth is gonna be a pain but I'm sure I'll survive!

All I can see is an annoying advert and then it goes black....is it supposed to just show up???

That's three links that wont work....this sucks royally......

Nah that link didn't work....

Reckon I wont be able to watch it tonight....

I'm confused....

I clicked on the link on the first page of this thread but where do I go from there????

I'll carry on looking just incase I've missed something....which would make sense owing to the fact I'm not wearing my glasses

EDIT: Has anyone noticed this:

See The Darkness and Guns N' Roses playing live from Rock in Rio in Lisbon. Spandex boys The Darkness will be on stage at the World’s largest festival from 10pm tonight, followed by Axel Rose and Guns N' Roses at 11.45pm - broadcast online, only here.

I'm getting sick of people spelling it wrong....next person to do it will feel my wrath :devil:

Thats feckin awsome!!!!

Cheers for that Alien....just trying to upload it now to post a link....

Well tabloids were invented so stupid people could think they're reading a real newspaper.....

So I'm not too bothered....

What person in their right mind would actually think that "Tommy Hilfiger pummels rocker [Axl Rose]" is true????

Wait....I already answered that in the first sentance.....

I haven't got a decent version of The Blues...

If someone could PM a link to me they get a lollipop....I have all flavours except from orange...I like those.....

And yes....I can't help but love Axl when I hear his singing.....

He was 5th on some countdown of greatest rock singers....Robert Plant was 3rd, Kurt Cobain was 2nd and Freddie Mercury was 1st.........

Sounds cool if it's true...video eh?....mmmmm

Just as well it was Axl and not Duff Mr Hilfiger chose to throw punches at....... Duff would get him in a death lock.....! Owch!!!................

LA

I would pay good money to see that....

Hehe....I love splenda....though I'm talking about this kind:

http://www.splenda.com/

The sugar free sugar!!!...who needs cocaine when you've got that?!?!

Keep telling it like it is...sooner or later the wakeup call is coming.

542 posts. All worthless.

Worthless because I won't kiss Axl's ass? I'd say that makes them very worthwhile. I'll continue to live in reality, you can live in Axl fantasy land. Someday you will see the light and I will forgive you.

I just have never understood the upside of being a message board cupcake.

That's not true. You love attention. I get that part.

But I can't see logging on to a place everyday just to swim upstream and fight with people. I go to message boards to blow off steam and enjoy myself talking about topics that interest me.

Can't imagine going to one where I have lost interest in the subject in question and just want to keep having the same petty, name calling fights ad nasuem.

To each their own.

Keep waiting on that reunion. Sure its riiiiiiiiight around the corner. I'll wait here.

Yeah, I never understood that myself.....BUT people all have different ways of blowing off steam....some people do it whilst being respectful towards other members and their opinions.....and some people don't!

Well....Paris's ex, Paris Latsis was a GNR fan.....he had one of the logo's tattoo'd on his left upper arm.....and he was once pictured with Paris H wearing a GNR T-shirt...I have no idea how I know that ...scary!

Anywho...maybe this is one of the things that they had in common....

And am I the only person who thinks Paris H isn't all that attractive?...
