I wonder how pitman feels about Brain, since Brain and Melissa's connection, she essentially usurped Pitman out of the band, guaranteeing they wouldn't need his services..

Uhm, well. She came in, after he managed to get himself kicked out. I'm not sure how you could spin that into making it her (or Brain's) fault.

It's really cool that Igazio Sixx Comito had Pitman's back. Just as important as Slash and Duff.😄

Yeah. You seriously have to shake your head at some people's comments. Does he really think that or is he just kissing up to Pitman?! Which both would be equally sad.

I would've loved to have seen that happen.

Yeah. Although that doesn't really sound like the Duff of nowadays. For what would he slam him against the wall? For calling it a nostalgia cashgrab? They are playing 30 year old songs and haven't created one single new song since. What else was it gonna be? I'd like to think that Duff is a bit more realistic and intelligent than to take issue with that.

Slash and Duff have a NITL contract. Offically, Axl and TB are GnR.

TB most certainly is NOT Gnr. They may represent GnR, but in fact they are NOT GnR.

As evidence that Guns can still write good songs again without Izzy: 1991 songs!

Yes. And all of them have released at least some worthwhile songs separately since. Now imagine if the 3 of them work together again. Izzy hasn't exactly set the world on fire since either. But Slash has.

I have never seen a good album since 1991, that is for certain. It is no coincidence that the band didn't release another original thing after Stradlin departed. Izzy left in 1991; two years of touring stadia with Gilby; a crap covers LP; an even crapper Stones cover; finished. 

And? But you have heard those good songs that Izzy had no hand in writing in. The lack of other albums has nothing to do with Izzy not being there.

I wonder when the band will address this. I know TB has known for ages, but doesn't care or doesn't seem to be capable of doing anything about it. But the band must have heard about it now too. Can't wait for Kat and Meegan's accounts to be flagged

They don't care. Actually, I'm betting that they are glad it's happening. So they don't have to be the bad guys (if it isn't them anyway). If they really wanted they could put a stop to it and identify to Google/YouTube who is their representaitve and who has a right to file a copyright claim on their behalf.

I think Dizzy is fine! You can’t shut him out at this point! That’d be stone cold.

They have no problems shutting out Steven. I'd rather they shut out Dizzy. He had a good ride.

I have yet to hear a live version of Estranged that can keep up with the studio version, with The Blues it's the opposite: the studio version kinda sucks compared to the song in concert. Estranged is my fav GNR tune but at this point I'd much rather have The Blues or Breakdown in concert and see them replace/rotate Coma with Locomotive. Estranged is ten minutes and Coma is another ten minutes and in concert (!) none of them can keep up with their current rendition of Rocket Queen wich is another ten minutes but a live keeper. Add to this KOHD and all the crappy covers and you have roundabout 90 minutes of a lot of energy going down the drain when they could play so many other great songs they rarely ever play.

Any not so good live version of Estranged is miles better than any Street of dreams version could ever be. Estranged and Coma are highlights during the show. Without those 2 I don't think I would have went 21 times.

Name one hit any of them have written without Izzy.

(Not that I care about hits, but for sake of argument).

Estranged, November rain, Dead horse, Coma, Back off bitch, Civil war, Locomotive, So fine...
The notion that they need Izzy to make a good album is ridiculous.

Again,  I have never had an issue with her. It was a surprise that they hired a woman in the beginning but I think overall she adds a fun bouncy energy if you watch her on stage.

I never do. Seriously. I'm always surprised when I see her on pix, as I haven't seen her during  the show. Then again. The same goes for Fortus and Ferrer. Never watch them.

No doubt Axl could go full on CD-era vocals on The Blues, but it's probably more like Slash not feeling Robin Finck's out of the box guitar phrasing. They could easily replace Estranged with The Blues, one of their best songs and it works much better in concert. Estranged is by far the best composition but to me it's one of those songs best listened to alone when staring at the wall reflecting about life. So yeah take that out of the set for good and replace it with The Blues, also a piano ballad with a great guitar solo, not as epic, but much more uplifting.

Thank god no one listens to you. Replace one of GNR best song with that whiny pile of crap? Seriously? A request as genius as the one that asked to take Coma out of the setlist. Some of you people are so clueless.

Because it's a crap song. Slash probably said, fuck that shit. I'm not playing it.

which of my posts reeks of desperation? I have no attachment to either . I'm advocating caution and not jumping to conclusions.
there are no "good" or "bad" sources when it comes to GNR. There is "Axl" and "everybody else".. and even Axl doesnt have a good track record when it comes to announcing release dates. so why invest effort into a could be real/fake reddit account of Fernando? I know its appealing to think there's an album in store for us... but I learned not to get attached to news that requires so many leaps of faith. 

All of your posts regarding this topic. He was asked point blank if it was him. Any sane person wouldn't want someone to impersonate him and state that it is not him when that Topic is brought up. Yet, he choose to not answer and ignore the question. A non answer also is an answer, thus it is obvious it is him. And I guess most of us know GNR enough to know, that even if it was him stating there will be an Album within 6 months, it is no guarantee that we really will have an album within 6 months.

whos the dude he had this conversation with?
that person should be telling us as to what Fernando ment by it. 

its not up for a plenum debate. This way, its just more oil spilled on a fire. And no real answers.

if you have a conversation with someone... you dont go making a poll what that person wanted to say.

if whoever talked to fernando doesnt know what Fernando wanted/didnt want to say... hows forwarding it to the forums gonna help in any way except add to uncertainty?

with knowledge comes responsibility.

Read between the line and you know exactly what Fernanado meant: "Yes, it was me, but I'm not gonna confirm it.". If it is wasn't him, there is no reason for him not to say that it wasn't him. You're the only one who is desperately not wanting it to be Fernando.

I'm not going to argue with you. I'm sure he has his reasons.   

Obviously he has his reasons. It's beneath him now. He doesn't have to do it anymore.

No confirmation the account is actually him, as far as I'm concerned it could just be a troll. If it is him he's a melt and should not be in the position he is currently in. 

Right. And he likes to take the credit of a troll, trolling the fan base under his name.

Who is the management company of GnR? I am just curious. I am not asking who is the manager for Duff or Slash. I know Axel is petsobally and professionally managed by TB. Each man has his own managers, lawyers, publicist, bus- trailer for travel and downtime when not  traveling by company plane.

GNR doesn't have a management company. TB is handling GNR management.

I just sent an email asking Fernando if Buckethead and Finck are returning to the band. He didn't answer. It's happening

Wow. Desperate to proof how stupid you are??

So there's 3 possibilities:

-Fernando is flebeis on Reddit

-Random person is flebeis on Reddit with no association to Fernando

-Walker or one of the crazies is flebeis and is impersonating Fernando with Fernando's permission

Why do I have a feeling the last option is most likely

Geez. Then why the fuck wouldn't Fernando deny it's him???? Seriously. Some of you people are so thick. He choose to not deny that it is him. So I will attribute anything that is said under that account to him.

2 hours ago, username05 said:

idk. I imagine him being like some dude at work... with 100 unanswered emails... stressed out whit all the work he has to do... and he gets a forum email... and he just skips it... 

its a mad fast paced world out there. sometimes people ignore simple things because they have larger stuff hanging over their heads. and I suspect a GNR manager probably has a lot of responsibilities concerning a tour... that he's anxious as is, without worring about the forums. 

Why arer you so desperate to think it's fake?? His action pretty much speak for the fact that it indeed was him. Either that or he is a bigger tool than some of us think.

2 hours ago, username05 said:

consider his silence a no. 
imagine if some idiot made a new fake fernando acc every week. We'd be asking him indefinitely. 

He could simply say "No, that is not me. And when I choose to start another account where I talk about GNR business, I'll let you know, otherwise consider it a fake.". End of it.

then just act as if he didnt say anything. If it were something worth mentioning, someone would have commented by now through official channels. Since it didnt considers the Redditnando a fake account.  its as simple as that. Or just go ask Jarmo. Jarmo could probably be able to confirm if it in fact is Realnando or Fakenando. 

but from what I hear,... its probably some kid pulling your leg. Hell... if it were true... Jarmo would have had it posted on his site as well. You may or may not like Jarmo... but when things are murky, he is a good rule of thumb. 

what we have here is just a circular masturbation topic... where you inflate each other's expectations, 13 pages based on an unreliable source...  and you end up blaming the band for it.

dont be like this: 

 

 

P.S. now you all imagine if this is a fake account. And now... imagine if real Fernando saw this topic. Imagine what he'd be thinking. 13 pages discussion based on a fake account post on reddit. These guys are nuts. Even if he came and commented on it... wouldnt make the situation any less nuts. He'd just commit him self to comment every time some wackjob made a fake account. And I guess he has better things to do. 

Seriously. This discussion is ridiculous. He was asked whether the account is him or an imposter. If it is an imposter, the most logical thing for him would be to say, yes, it's an imposter, because who knows what kind of shit that imposter would say in the future. But he choose to not to confirm it's an imposter. So he (Fernando) is free to continue to say whatever he wants to say on Reddit and if he gets called out for it, he still can say that it is not him. As unproffesional as announcing that album on reddit is, him not confirming that the account is fake, pretty much is an admission that it was him.

And realy, Jarmo would do shit to confirm or deny, if not even Fernando does it. Unlike Fernando he is not family and shit like that could put him on the outs. Also that guy doesn't seem like much for fan service. So he won't risk anything.

Could be that Fernando wants you all to always stay doubtful about his account so that in case things went south and Axl got upset at him he could easily deny any relation to that Reddit account.

One thing Fernando is scared as shit about is to lose his job (which he doesn't have proper understanding of it anyway) and end up in McDonald's.

To me it looks pretty much identical to Team Brazil's methods.

Exactly. Plausible deniability.

Really?  

That's some strange logic.

Do you know whether they've been approached by another artist?  

Murray Wilson only managed the Beach Boys while he was their manager.

Colonel Tom Parker only managed Elvis

Peter Grant only managed Led Zeppelin.

Yeah. Also they are not managing Axl because they are managers and that's what they do, they manage him, because they are in his life and his liaison to the outside world. His spokespeople, so to say.

Hey dude. Chill  out. He actually does not owe you nor anyone else anything except for  the concert he performs at. Don't feel entitled. The guy is human. I'm sure he's exhausted  after the show. 

No, he doesn't. But before he was back on a tour that made 560 mio $ and put him back in stadiums around the world, you know the days, where he played in front of 3000 at the most, he would line up 30 to 40 fans and stay until everyone got an autograph. Way to show your gratitude.

A good friend of mine met Slash and got his autograph. He said that Slash was really cool. What Slash did was sign his name and then did a bit of artwork alongside his name. It took 5 minutes for him to do it.  

Anybody taking the time to do that is pretty cool. You have to understand that he gets asked to do autographs all the time. I'm sure there are days where he doesn't feel like doing it. 

So what? It's his job. When he does a concert in front of 3.000 people and then 2 hours after the concert is over lets the bus drive right in front of the door, so he can avoid the 7 people, who are still waiting for him, he's a dick.
