Axl's rants are dumb.

What don't you like about them? They're entertaining, full of passion, sometimes profound, sometimes random, sometimes epic, sometimes funny.

Axl won't sing with rasp. Hopefully he'll pick songs like "It's So Easy" and "Brownstone." He can still nail those.

The only parallel I can think of is Zappa had Steve Vai in his band, and Axl had Buckethead in his band.

Vai is one of the few guitarists who can touch Bucket in terms of overall skill set.

Bucket is good, but he is no Vai....

Sometimes you Bucket fans get a little carried away.

Maybe I didn't phrase that quite right: Vai is one of the few guitarists who can do what Bucket can do; that's what I meant. Sorry it wasn't clear. Bucket, likewise, has a rare skillset and is capable of performing much of Vai's compositions. I used to post on Vai's message board a lot and Bucket was the topic of many detailed discussions and analyses by guitarists who know more than you do. No offense.

Wow I had no idea I was in the presence of such a discusion forum legend. Detailed analyses huh? I wish I was around for such a round table discusion, I am sure I would have learned a great number of things. I feel so much more enlitened now, thank you and cheers.

Well I know i'm not quite as legendary as the guy who impresses 13 year olds on xbox live with the number "420" in his screen name, but all I was trying to convey was that on Vai's own official site, Buckethead got quite a bit of respect and his playing was often discussed and dissected by the uber Vai fans who post there, many of them advanced guitarists.

Izzy was the anchor from which Axl and Slash tethered.

And he was a helluva song writer. He is one of the holy trinity of the essences of GnR. Show some respect.

Axl has the little piece of paper, so it is GnR.

And then he deleted it?

Man, Ron does like to stir shit up

He posted a countdown tweet with exactly the number of days until the residency was over.

really? and why delete it, whats the point of doing this mysterious " i wanna leave" hints

oh, I JUST posted his tweet and you guys think he deleted it?

This is the actual tweet. Just click on it and you'll see for yourself. It is there, and yes, the countdown ends at the end of the residency. I don't know what else to suggest based on that tweet.

Yeah, he didn't delete it. I don't know why people refuse to use google.

Do you think he comes on mygnr and sees how much nugnr are roundly despised, and it gives him the shits?

He's already been here twice and had forum users talk shit to him. None of those people, by the way, were banned for the disrespectful, horrid shit they said to him.

On one of his streams (the eatmoreheat.com hot sauce stream), someone said something like "people on mygnr said such n such." To which Ron replied "it's all about them/enjoy your little world."

Meh, just another holiday for people who think dinosaurs aren't real and evolution is a lie.

This thread is full of so much retardation, it's sad.

Justin Bieber? Really? Ban pls.

Tommy's not going to get any flak. Axl doesn't give a shit that Billie Joe presented the award. He may have disagreed with the decision to pick Billie Joe, but remember.. Duff showed up to the award and played with Slash, Steven, Matt, and Gelby.

As many band members have reiterated in the past, there aren't rules or ultimatums given for how to act. Instead, Axl just gives the band zero information, probably because he finds it funny to watch them come up with bullshit when asked about new music. But there's no gag order as some morons on here actually believe.

Green Day's only good shit were the albums/EPs before Dookie.

With all the cheap bastards here who can't even cough up 5 bucks to donate to the forum that they spend thousands of hours on (which I don't fault them for necessarily, it's just relevant to what i'm about to say next), how much money do you think you're really going to get here? You'll be lucky to get 20 dollars, total.

Go to kickstarter too. I know someone who did a similar thing (traveling around, writing with random people he ran into), and he got some donations.

Axl's always been aloof. I don't think he's going to change at this point.

A gigantic giraffe prop overlooking the band on stage.

Bring Back Paul!

If Bumble quits, I hope he does a tour with Slash, like Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth did when they were both out of Van Halen.

The "ex-gnr" tour. Bucket and Izzy could come too.

They have the right to say horrid shit about Axl because they're discussing the band!

I'd like to hear an 'explanation' for all the vicious, hateful, petty, mean-spirited things that are said about Axl.

But I'm sure I'll be told that's just fans "discussing the band" and is a-okay.

Honestly though, Ron's tweets are one of the most interesting and engaging things about the band at the moment. Aside from Axl's brief foray into giraffe politics.

Where's the retards that claimed Duff wouldn't be allowed to spend personal time with Axl?

They'll just deny it was ever said, or say it was only one person who said it. Once confronted with the data, they'll claim it was all just a "joke" and they didn't actually mean it.

Oh Bumble, so much cryptic drama.
