Cruel Intentions

He still has rasp in his voice when he wants to break it out. It's weird. I've stopped trying to make sense of it at this point.

He recovered nicely, because those first few songs up to TIL were dreadful. Even YCBM wasn't terrible.

#TheSwitch is obviously the name of the new GNR album. This was perfectly thought out advertising!!

I guess they ain't fixing it?

That November Rain was pretty tight. Axl got off to a bad start but has recovered nicely.

Does he actually think he sounds good when he sees footage of himself live?

I'm just throwing out random stuff but I think axl might retire after this

Wtf is he doing???

Nothing kills a GNR crowd like Sorry or TIL...don't know why they'd do this song.

The "full of anger" part in Better was awesome. He killed it.

He looks so winded.

Holy fuck, that scream for the opening of Jungle was awful.

That was one hell of a speech Axl gave!

Axl is going to sound so great tonight after all this crap.... No matter how bad he is.

Why else do you think he chose THIS awards show to appear at? Lol

This shit is beyond terrible.

No way does Axl go up there and make a speech. Maybe, MAYBE a prerecorded video, but I could see him sending Bumble and DJ up there in his place.

Anyone know what time this shit goes on till?

What did the text say exactly?

It said verbatim:

"I'm glad everyone is happy with stolen material. Well, I guess that's it. We don't need to put anything out now. Everyone took the fun of everything. MSL and co will pay for what they did"

She seriously said that? How pathetic. I've never seen a band's "manager" get so butt hurt over fans wanting a band to create new music. Like we're supposed to believe these leaks had any impact on GNR releasing new material. They weren't going to release shit, and as I said when these songs first leaked, all this did was buy Axl another five years of doing nothing. That seems to be the sad approach they're taking.

She should resign or be fired - neither of which will actually happen, but still. She's done nothing for this band and seems perfectly content with Axl's plan of doing nothing.

If someone could PM it to me I'd appreciate it. I'm sure it sucks like everybody is saying, but let's face it - these leaks are all we have to look forward to in GNR land, sadly.

I really like it a lot. Has sort of a slowed down, eerie sound to it that fits Axl's lyrics perfectly. I wish Axl would play this version on tour once in a while.

"Well, they wanted new music...that should buy me five more years"

This band is such a train wreck. I wish they would all quit at once.

What is there to boycott exactly? There's no music, videos, DVDs, books, documentaries or any other sort of new merchandise to boycott. And considering the fact that their tour dates haven't been selling out either clearly has done nothing to deter them from their nonsensical approach to this band.

So, basically, they got wind of the fact that the board was preparing to send in questions to ask Axl, and this statement is them essentially telling us, "Don't waste your time, because we have zero information to give out and Axl isn't doing any interviews." More brilliant marketing from this band. All I can do is laugh at how pathetic it is. Axl just wants to make his money and be left alone. He clearly has zero intentions of putting out new music.

I truly hope we get real answers to these questions and not just the generic runaround. I'm not expecting him to go into great detail, but it would be nice if he could simply just elaborate on what is going on with the future of the band and what the direction is.

*Edit* - Wait, is there any guarantee he's going to answer any of these questions or are we just sending questions along hoping by some miracle he'll reply to them? I was under the impression that this was setup where Axl said through management he would answer "X" number of questions.

Yeah, fuck you guys for wanting new music from your favorite band! What a joke this entire band is.
