  1. 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 :lol:

     

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

  3. 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

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if they'd use the exact same video AGAIN for Monsters?

    Very cost effective too, they could sell it like "it's never done before and connects the two songs in a genius way" or something. :D

    Yea for sure they're very good at bullshit writing.

    The text for the General video was so serious as if it's a synopsis of a film by Ingmar Bergman.

    How Guns N' Roses Used AI to Create Wild New Music Video 'The General'

    Design studio Creative Works London turned to Stable Diffusion to create the Guns N' Roses video’s unsettling, dreamlike visuals.

    So this article confirms Fernando pushed for this crap. 
    These guys are still acting and talking about the whole thing like it's something outstanding and out of this world. 

    I have nothing against them, only about the their unprofessional way of responding to negative reactions.


    This website where this was posted is some cryptobro website by the way. Not surprising.
    "Demystifying Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the decentralized web. Follow us for clear crypto news and explainers."

    "About six weeks into production the band manager sent him a link to generative AI competition"

    Fernando: Yo, here's the Peter Gabriel AI thing. Make it like that

    CWL: Yes sure

    Fernando: So... now that we do AI, please revise the quotation from USD 50,000 to USD 2,000.

    Anyone else here get the feeling that even IF they write and record a brand new album, with the NITL lineup, that perhaps a majority here will complain anyway about how:

    -It's nowhere near as good as AFD or UYI

    -It sounds old school compared to CD

    -It would have sounded SOOOO much better with BH and/or Finck.

    I am not sure there really is any pleasing the majority of the fanbase here, short of AFD II, which would also probably be criticised for it's lack of innovation.

    An a NewGnr nostalgia fan, I say no. I for one, don't think that way. You cannot just conclude the majority's opinion using this thread as your fact.

    This Music Video was garbage. The vibe you see is not limited to MyGnr forum. It's everywhere, from youtube comments to instagram to twitter to the word on the streets and in Hard Rock Cafe!

    Needless to say Perhaps didn't get the same negative reaction, same with Ritz 91, Axl+Carrie Underwood, Axl/DC and so on. I would go as far as saying that Rock The Rock didn't get as much backlash as this stinky piece of AI.

    This thing, sir, was wrong on many aspects.

    Nothing is happening.

    Management contracted some cheap ass generation fuck all startup, then somebody typed in "the music group guns n' roses" + "skeletons" + "children" + "boys" + "dystopian urban landscape" + "night" + "neon colors" + "inspired by the movie Blade Runner" and then clicked on "morph with live footage" and "auto edit".

    The result is the "music video" of The General.

    There is nothing to "get" or understand. There is no direction, no cinematography, no acting, no storyboard, let alone a story or message to begin with. It's just what happens when people on very bad drugs living in their own bubbles are doing their thing totally disconnected from the outside world and their audience, hence their (in case of GNR non existent) reaction to the majority of initial reactions. They might have gotten the "artificial" part, but as far as "intelligence" goes they got a hell of a lot of living to do.

    I said it before, just think of what Michael Jackson would have done with AI technology. You don't have to be a fan of his to understand how far off the rails this band and their entourage of coked out yes men have already gone.

    I'm actually a little offended by contractors telling me I don't "get" a band I have already followed, recommended and supported 30+ years ago while the majority of those Starbucks hipsters were still shitting their diapers. I'm even more offended by the band not telling them to shut the fuck up. If anyone is in the position to tell people they don't get it, it's GNR not their coked out payroll people obviously not getting it themselves in the first place.

    Couldn't agree more. This text is gold my friend. ♥️
