For movie drama though seems like '85-'90 would be the main focus 

For movie comedy though it would be the 2015-2020 period 😃

Chris Cornell posthumously top Billboard's charts with GNR cover "Patience".it is number one in mainstream rock chart.

This is cool, highlights a great song created by a great rock band in their prime. I love Chris Cornell but he is nothing on Axl in this particular song, Axl’s dynamics and emotive delivery lifts that song from just another rock ballad to another level...

We're fucked because all the money dumped into the Republican and Democrat party have made it essentially IMPOSSIBLE for anyone outside of these parties to have abe REAL shot if getting elected.  Those that vote for a Third party candidate basically just willingly gave up their vote.   

As a result we're always stuck with just 2 candidates that these power hungry parties decide to dump their billions behind.

Very good point. I dearly hope your country can climb out of the mess it’s in, because the world is a much better place with a strong and healthy America. 
Fingers crossed the USA can work through it and discover some quality leaders that can give the people hope 👍

I watched the debate live and felt embarrassed for you Americans, Jesus if these two old fuck knuckles are the best you can do then the USA is more fucked than John Holmes.

Fartus is just a hired hand who doesn't know shit.

This. As embarrassing as it is for him, he’s a session musician on a very long extended job. Is working for the band, isn’t really a part of it and could be replaced whenever. But good on him, he’s done extremely well for himself and traveled the world doing something he loves.

I forgot this was being released tomorrow. I've got a huge Prince vinyl set to pick up tomorrow along with a Nick Mason double LP set, so the GN'R hits package is gonna have to wait. 

Ha! I like it mate, having GnR wait for you for a change. I'm sure you'll feel like getting it 'soon'...

lars ulrich makes everything better

Exit Trump!

I’ve asked Del before how heavy Axl likes it, as like me, Del likes the heavy stuff like Slayer, Death, Morbid Angel, Kreator etc..., but Del said that Axl doesn’t really get into the heavier stuff. Makes sense I guess considering his first bands he loved included ELO, Elton John and the like.

Thank you for doing this. Its a good topic. I haven't been following it too well as it turned out to be another broken promise by the management, so its cool that you have summarised it and if it can be updated if anything happens then even better! Cheers

I doubt it. He didn't seem bothered by the last one, and Slash doing a world tour! 

 

But was that in the middle of Guns N' Roses supposedly working on a new album? I can't remember?

The dissapointing years all just get mixed up together for me these days, my timeline of being a GnR fan is just one very long winding road of saddness and dissapointment!

Didn't Meegan also confirm a new SMKC album is coming?

Do you all think Axl will be slightly aggrieved if SMKC release a new album in the next 6 - 12 months. I find it a tad embarrassing that GnR have been talking about “ writing” or “recording“ and “ideas” for several years and can’t figure out how to actually put together a release and then Bam! , Slash punches out another album to the world with the greatest of ease. It’s sickeningly funny. But part of me would think Axl would be a bit annoyed about that.

Dude, he got it in the half price bin so it’s worth $17.50. You’re maths is terrible 😃

That, and he is pictured & featured in the pinball machine, not IZZY. So I'm sure that only adds to the confusion for layman fans.

Count me in with those that really dig Gilby. He is just a very laid back dude. Makes perfect sense why he got along so well with SLASH. And he's a very good guitarist IMO.

I was fortunate to see the band during the Summer of 1991 prior to the release of the UYI albums. So I saw IZZY once before he left the band in October of 1991 (I missed an opportunity to see them in 1988). I saw them again in 1992 and again in 1993, so I saw Gilby twice.

As much as I dig IZZY, GILBY was an adequate replacement. Very laid back and cool just like IZZY.

I agree that he deserves more credit for his contributions than he gets. Same goes for Matt Sorum, too.

I really would have liked to have seen those guys included somehow in the NITL tour. We all know the reasons why they weren't. But I can still foolishly wish for things.

I feel the same. Gilby seamlessly fitted into Guns and was more than an adequate replacement for Izzy. Slotted into the chemistry of the band and had that laid back persona that balanced out the madness of Axl and craziness of Slash & Duffs addictions.

I wish he rejoined the band for the three-union. Although I like Fortus too.

I've ordered tons of records from all over the earth, including during the pandemic. They've all shown up in a reasonable time frame. It makes all the sense in the world that this would happen with CD lol

I’m sure you will get it soon 😉

It’s obviously been a big shutdown period across the USA, but I’m wondering if there’s different restrictions in different states in the US, and if so, have there been any known public outings of any of the band members? 
 

I know there was meant to be members of Guns N Roses turn up at the Whisky in the first week of May to attend the first Rose Tattoo gig in America in nearly 40 years, and was such a shame it all went to crap as I’m sure they were to join them on stage.

At the time, I was excited about DJ joining. I'd seen him with Sixx AM in 2008 and he was good enough, and entertaining. He'd had a big hit on the rock charts the year before, and helped with Motley's relatively successful Saints Of LA album. He was different from Finck of course, but the 2009 lineup did have some great potential. I don't think Axl really started 'going through the motions' until 2011, at which point DJ also started getting a lot sloppier.

I agree. Great post. Saints of LA was pretty good. I guess history, or really Axl, has never given us the opportunity to truly gauge the songwriting or song-contributing skills of Ashba, Fortus, Thal et al...

I'm not going to argue with you. This is the second time you have made a joke about a person with a disability.  It's clear that you have some type of resentment towards people with disabilities. I just hope you can get past it before karma gets  to you. Everyone will have a disability at some point in her/his lifetime. Keep that in mind. 

You’re on a discussion board following a band that sings songs about taking drugs and promoting treating women like sluts. So remember that while you’re getting all high and mighty. Get a sense of humour dude. It’s not too late...

Same - London 2017 was brilliant and in no-way going through the motions.

Every time I have seen GnR live, ten times, they have always given 100% and Axl has been really into it. Every time. Actually live, from 1993 to just a couple of years ago I honestly have never witnessed a bad performance and loved every single show. I may be critical towards GnR in many ways, but in my opinion they are great live...

If Axl Rose of all people agrees that Kamala is the worst person for Joes VP then Joe is screwed.

 

i think he should have gone with someone like Tammy Duckworth(Veteran from a midwestern state who lost both her legs in combat) that would have been the smartest choice

Its like they are not even trying

We agree on something 👍

She’s the only person in the primaries that people hated more then Liz Warren.

 

Joe better get a foodtaster

Nah mate, as far as succeeding in politics Tammy Duckworth doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

I probably said this earlier, but it's not that fuckin' serious. Just release some new music. Clearly Duff and Slash still enjoy making new music. It doesn't have to be the greatest record ever. It doesn't even have to be the best record of 2020. Just show us you're still an actual band and not just a touring act content to only sing songs from 1987 and sell us toy trains.

And that there is the big problem mate. Axl's low self-esteem seems to need to release the greatest record ever, each time. He puts all this unneccesary pressure on himself when fans like us would be thrilled to just hear his voice on a new album. Obviously if it was a Metallica Lulu moment it wouldn't be well recieved but Im sure anything he creates and releases would be at the very least really good.
