No, this ain’t no weird „fan letter“ or me being drunk or stoned or anything. I’ve just come to the realization, that GNR has been, for the majority of my life, is in the here and now and probably will be a somewhat crucial part of my life. Strange enough, don’t feel any actual „connection“ to the musicians, not at all. I can't picture myself having a beer with Axl or Slash or anyone. But boy do I love their music.

For some reason, and no particular reason at all, I just feel a very powerful urge right now to scream out THANK YOU. Thank you for the music. Thank you for the magic. The communication (though the music), the connection, the spirit, the vibe, the soul. And thank you for reaching my soul. Thank you for resonating with my soul.

Regardless of how much I want to beat some new music out of you guys - thank you for everything. It's good knowing you are out there while I am out here, all of you, past and present. And I wish you nothing but the best. Same goes for fans sharing my sentiment.

That’s all. Just had to get this off my chest. Probably not worth its own thread, so mods feel free to move it as you please or others feel free to chime in if you want.

One band to sum it up for me, at the end of the day? One band to speak in my name, the things I can’t express but feel? Guns N’ Fuckin’ Roses.

Very hard for me to have so much love toward the band these days for two main reasons, with one being no proper new music (CD demo leftovers and bullshit ain't new music for me), and another one, Team Brazil, period.

But I can relate to how you feel. I have these flashes of enthusiasm and euphoria when I'm in a good mood or have achieved something and play some Estranged or smth as a reward in my car or headphone.   

You can bang me all inside
You need to wreck your video-blinds
No you ain't using your mind
You're just in the Garden

Then can video it yourself
Or you can throw it on the shore
But you know you can look each side for the Garden

Not a native English speaker, no internet access, no original booklet in hand, and that's how I'd memorized the lyrics in my teenage years back in the 90s.
I have many many other examples lol

What is the point? when there is a Guns'N'Roses website, which he owns (the name of the band).

Potential autobiography, food & beverages line, hot sauces, more toy trucks, artworks etc.

But unfortunately I don't think it's gonna promote anything music related.

When you're employee always are "yes-men", Lebeis o someone else.

Not really. Advisors, lawyers and professional managers must not be "yes-man" by definition.

Even your driver or bodyguard shouldn't always be a yes-man if you know what I mean.

Architects, structural engineers, pilots, accountants, and the list goes on and on.

In fact, only parasites are yes-man.

Of course it's official. It's unmistakable amateurish with lower case "rose" and one-sided quotation mark:

Fernando again? 

wtf Arsenal...

Can you please elaborate? I never saw that...

It's inside the Making Fucking Videos: Estranged. Around 54:00. It's a video mix of actual Estranged music video + some sort of rehearsals footage on a stage)

The way you wrote it sounds like Count from Sesame Street. 🤣

Glad my comment brought a smile to your face. 

Outro of "The Blues" in 2001-2002; "aaah haa haaaa aaah aaa..."s

Estranged, Don't Cry, The Garden

Yeah, it was ("the first GN'R reunion recording", etc.).

As far as I know, the rumour started from Mitch Lafon, then the producer of the T-Rex tribute album responded that there was no truth to it, but that there was another rumour about just Axl (without GN'R) recording a version for a different project.

But then "insiders" kept saying that it was a GN'R song.

Typical Axl secrecy.

I'd like to see Guns N'Roses/Axl collaborate with Poison. 😀 I'd love for Axl and Bret Michaels to sing Every Rose Has Its Thorn. 😀 I think it would be a phenomenal match up. 😀

- A country collaboration would be nice. Preferably with Ryan Bingham or Whiskey Myers.

- Sharing stage with David Gilmour for either Money or Comfortably Numb would be an amazing idea.

- Ozzy and Axl on a Black Sabbath song.

1. Nightrain

2. Estranged

3. YCBM

4. TWAT

 Liverpool. Sorry Klopp...

Wishing the same for Man City in FA CUP against Chelsea.

Liverpool, Man City, please give me one loss in premier league as well.

Arsenal the best!

Axl in his 40s was the best Axl. He had a fine balance of both past and present Axl. 2006-2010 in particular was the best version of him imo.

In this period He was revealing his anger from time to time but looked pretty chill and fun for the most part. Seemed very social, had genuine girlfriend(s), fashionable, excellent vocals and stage presence, was running a creative and dynamic band.

Yes lol, I have 3 and my other half has 3, so 5 girls and 1 boy. They are all adults now with their own kids, we have 15 grandkids between us. Yeah I'm THAT old 

 

Imagine your grandmother being a Slash fan. How cool is that? Mine is into praying + tea making and stuff.

TWAT is the best GNR song in their catalog. It gave me hope that Axl have at least have one song to top that one. But nope.

 

Same here. I believe TWAT is one of those timeless songs in Rock.

After all these years, and taking lengthy breaks from listening to the band due to how things turned into a clownfest, I believe I can now provide a balanced overall assessment of their songs from the CD era and which songs are more worthy to hear in the long run:

Can listen to these and enjoy anytime anywhere:

1. There Was A Time

2. Street of Dreams

3. Better

4. Prostitute

---------

Occasionally will play these:

5. Catcher in the Rye

6. Oh My God

7. IRS

8. Madagascar

9. Sorry

10. The General

11. Perhaps

----------

Can't really listen to these anymore unless someone insists:

12. Shackler's Revenge

13. Chinese Democracy

14. This I love

----------

I would pay you to not play these in my house or at a bar or club:

15. If The World

16. Absurd

17. Scraped

18. Hard Skool

19. Riad and the Bedouins

At this point where the idea of a new album with original material seem to be fading away, I would love to see another cover album by them. At least no songwriting effort needed.
