I think Axl prefers HTGTH because the site is updated daily and doesn't have a million adverts splattered on every page..

Well, Eric pays for the server, software and other monthly charges out of his own pocket. He doesn't have anybody footing the bill for him. The ads are there to help offset these high costs so that people like yourself - as ungrateful as you seem to be - can come here to talk about the band.

.

Yeah I really prefer this site. There's not really that many ads you know..

On top of which I doubt he has much control over what goes up there. It probably goes by keyword regarding what the site is about. Almost all websites use some type of advertising for backup support. Just be glad they aren't popping up every 5 seconds like on other sites.

Anyway, I am not here to debate what GNR site is better. I like different ones for different reasons and I obviously enjoy posting here to discuss topics I may not be able to discuss other places.

This is an important letter for GNR fans to read.

It's really great to see this site filled with people being excited instead of trying to rip each other's heads off!

On the other hand, what about the tour starting in Dubai?? i recall hearing that a while back and it made no sense then or now, who the hell would go to that show?!

i know. what's the next stop? Baghdad?

Weird because I thought as I remembered that rumor had been debunked by Merck himself.

Oh well, not sure what to believe anymore.

Either way, thanks for having this letter here, it's important to have everyone's view to form an accurate opinion of what went on.

Axl makes a lot of lyrical mistakes so I am sure if he was using back up vocals it would be noticeable.

Maybe Pitman has sound effects going or something.

May 14 Hammerstein Ballroom-

Axl- "Happy Mother's Day Motherfuckers!!!!!"

"Right along with Rollin rollin with the oldies...."

Band starts Rocket Queen

CD, I hope! But I am not betting my ass!

Very cool review, glad to see you enjoyed this show after you were dissapointed with the 1st one you saw.

The world in many ways remains a jungle. But for Axl to regain his crown as rock king will take a longer, harder road than perhaps even he realizes.

The line is the only part of this atricle that rings true for me. Times have changed and there is way more crap music out there now.

But what I mean by leaving 1987 behind is that these journalists keep harping on the fact that Axl doesn't look like he did 20 years ago-I mean come ON, who does?

Regardless of your opinion of it, the article was very well written.

LOL... YEAH MAN, SHE HAD GREAT FUCKING SYNTAX!

I'm tired of hearing every journalist and their mother's take on the new GN'R. It's always the same rhetoric. They relate it to a personal moment with the old GN'R and leave with the "HE'S A PARODY OF HIS FORMER SELF" punchline.

I could write a short novel on things wrong with axl/new GN'R. But he's NOT trying to recapture the old GN'R. Anyone with a bantam interest in the new GN'R would know that.

Agreed, these journalists need to leave 1987 where it belongs, 20 years in the past.

what if the cd isint or wasent pressed in america ? then i supose that there would be no leaks ..

just a thought

hmmm...interesting

know what i mean vern?

I think it's a real probability that's true. That they would press it where it is least likely to leak, that is.

You mean the sig? THANKS! I always invisioned him as an angel.

Oops yes that's what I meant. It's late and I am tired.

I just don't think Merck is responsible for all that is wrong in people's minds with GNR. Granted he isn't out spouting info but no one is. I just wish they would release the damn album so we can go on to complaining about something else.

Do you people have to turn even an innocent question into an argument?

Sorry.

It wasn't directed at you in particular. Nice avatar!!

Do you people have to turn even an innocent question into an argument?

I think some of you sit on here and just wait for new topics to be posted to hit it with your stupid 1 liners.

It IS old now.

Edit: You are very welcome, SJM.

GNR's manager.

READ PEOPLE!!! It says it on the page.

It is the NASHVILLE show which still has no set date. All we know is that it will be in January of 2007. I think Jarmo should have just put January XX, 2007 instead of January 01, 2007.

As far as I am reading it does say Jan XX, not Jan 1.

What show is on Jan 1st? I wasn't aware one had been set

Holy shit... someone pull out their camera phone... the president of Univeral Studios is here! Well, he must be! He knows everything about the process of records being pressed! Quick, I'll run up and grab his ass... make sure you get a good reaction shot!

this is not a photo op Matt, there are at least 30 record producers with FULL KNOWLEDGE on how to produce a cd on this forum. I see em correcting Axl all day long

Are you kidding, we have experts in every profession of the music industry on here! Entertainment Lawyers, PR people, marketing execs, I wonder how they have so much time to post on here when they could be sharing all their knowledge with the world!

On topic: The 19th sounds good to me, I hope it's true. Eventually someone is gonna be right.

What will you all complain about after you have CD in your hands though? (Don't answer, please!)

what gnr need to do now, is pull off a couple of shows where they start at 21h00 on the dot.....just to freak everyone out.

Then people would get pissed cause they would miss the show

I also see this article made no mention of the snowstorm that hit that area before this show took place. From what I read the whole show was late, even the openers.

Wow the lies keep on pouring on now they are claiming that axl made his comments during november rain. He said it after the 3rd or 4th song and it definitly was not during a song. These guys are really getting old. Also why do they keep making fun of baz for being pumped about touring. Why dont we flood there message board and have at it. lol

Thats actually a good idea! Instead of fightn with each other(GNR fans), lets fuck with POSM. I know some of you could really have some fun with some of their sites

http://forum.rekordsrekords.com/board/

Here is their forum.

Their MySpace blog was flooded with so many negative comments they had to take it down.

hahaha so thats what this mess is is it??? a band i thought bands released albums every few years and interacted with the fans hahahahaha, this aint a band, hey merck your are nothing but a little fucking wanker that eats axls shite start treating the fans with some respect and you might just might gain mine,

so what now this mess of a band has what like 6 drummers 5 keyboardists 6 guitarists oh fuck i lost count now either tell us what the shit is with this album or just get yourself to fuck you ignorant fucking scum.

You should get treated for your Tourettes.

Mysteron said the album would not drop without promotion and that Merck was joking.

If your topic choice keeps getting deleted you might want to gain the common sense not to keep making it.

Why doesn't she just show up After the Suicide Girls are done? GN'R won't be hitting the stage until after 11PM anyway...

Yes,I was thinking the same.

I sent this link to the guy who wrote the article so he could read the responses.

He is going to the show and agreed that just showing up after is the way to go-

(BCN) OAKLAND Organizers of a gun exchange in Oakland Saturday said the event was a success since three dozen guns were taken off the street.

"I want to get a billion guns off the street," said gun exchange coordinator Joe DeVries. But for now, DeVries was happy with 36.

Organizers and police collected the guns in the parking lot of McAfee Coliseum.

DeVries said the 20 handguns and 12 rifles picked up would be sent to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms so they can be melted down and turned into manhole covers.

DeVries was particularly pleased that the event was able to get a few guns known as "Saturday night specials," or "junk guns," off the street. DeVries said junk guns are small, cheap and easily concealed.

Those who turned in guns were given a prize in exchange, such as tickets to a Warriors game, tickets to an upcoming Guns N' Roses concert, a tabletop oven or gift cards for Wal-Mart and Sears.

"We gave away a prize average of $100 per gun," DeVries said. "Some (guns) were worth far more, some were worth far less. We did have one man who turned in seven guns, (so) we gave him a few extra Guns N' Roses tickets."

Though the event was intended to collect handguns and rifles, some people brought in high-powered pellet guns.

"We don't necessarily want those but if you bring them we'll take them," DeVries said. The same goes for knives, according to DeVries.

DeVries said organizers will hold another gun exchange next Saturday in West Oakland.

"If you missed it this week, please do come out next week," he said.

DeVries stressed that "people don't need to be afraid of getting arrested" during the event.

"If (the gun is) not registered in your name, you have amnesty," DeVries explained. "Even if you stole the gun, you'll be given amnesty. We really want people to understand this is not some weird police ploy. We really just want to get (the guns) off the street."

However, police do need to collect identification to contact the person who exchanged the gun in case police learn that the gun had been used in a homicide.

Those planning on bringing a gun to the next exchange should follow the guidelines set out by organizers and police to ensure everyone's safety.

"Bring (the gun) in the trunk of your car and unloaded in a bag. If you don't have a car, bring it on foot but again, in a bag," DeVries said. "A police officer will take it out of the trunk of the car. We don't want any mishaps."

Ammunition can also be turned in as long as it is in a bag, according to DeVries.

The next gun exchange will be held Dec. 9 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at deFremery Park located at 1651 Adeline St. in Oakland.

DeVries noted that the gun exchange is not restricted to Oakland residents.

"If people want to come in and bring guns from other places, we'll take it," DeVries said. "Guns don't know borders."

Those who cannot make it to the next gun exchange can still turn in their unwanted guns.

"Anytime you make the wise decision to turn over a dangerous weapon you can turn (it) in to any police department," DeVries said. In fact, "the police department will send someone to your house to pick up your gun. We take it that seriously because of the number of accidental shootings and stolen weapons."
