Thank you, thank you! Yes, we're back and it's a glorious night on the forum!!

I think I speak for the entire United States when I say:

Put out a new album or do a reunion tour.

As for Chinese Democracy Tour Part Three, for $90, in a hockey arena, with the superstar lineup of Frank, Dizzy and Bobafett? No thank you.

Wait a minute, hold up there buddy! I am in the United States of America and I don't need you, or anyone else to speak for me. I DO NOT AGREE!! I will gladly, and proudly, pay my $90 for my ticket to see an awesome rock band play.

Damn, it's good to be back!!!!

It's funny to me because before November 21, 2009, I had never even heard of this forum. Now, because I try and defend the younger Guns N' Roses fans, I am asked which banned forum member I am. It makes me LOL!

You don't have to be a certain age to appreciate great music and musical genius. The age stuff gets really annoying and "old" here. My daughter is also 19 years old and she knows more about Guns N' Roses (original) than a lot of my older friends. She appreciates their music and has actively looked for info on them. The difference is whether you are a fan or a fanatic. A fan enjoys the music of the band as a whole and may or may not have a favorite or 2. A fanatic is obsessed with the individuals in the band and is beyond reason when discussing them and the music takes a back seat to the individual. Let's not disrespect our younger fans here just because they were not born as early as we were. (Oh, to be young again... )

Oh please. *Which banned member are you?*

I seldom ever agree with Lethal Weapon, but he's making a valid point when he says that fans who were following the band when it first came onto the scene have a little more insight into why some fans might want to wear a Slash T-shirt or Original band T-shirt when they go to a GNR show - and it has nothing to do with wanting to taunt or irritate Axl. This is something newer fans, who aren't familiar with the original lineup, don't understand because they never witnessed first-hand the chemistry that Axl and Slash had together when they recorded and performed together - -They brought out the best in each other.

Now, do I think fans should wear Slash shirts or tophats to a GNR show today? No, I don't. I think it's kind of rude, but I do understand why they might want to have that option. However, Axl and GNR have moved on, and fans - new and old alike - need to respect this.

And I wanted to add one other point: All of this publicity - good or bad - can only help ticket sales because it draws attention to the band and the tour and makes people curious about the band's current lineup.

Hahaha! I feel so special! If you check my profile, I joined, for the first time, in November of 2009. I am NOT a banned member, but I feel honored that you feel that I am. I have also been a fan of this band for 20+ years, but it doesn't take age to see the chemistry between the original members, just as it doesn't take age to see that that they have all moved on. It is time for the fans to move on. But, again, thank you Madison for thinking that my post is experienced enough to come from a former forum member. Just because someone has a differing opinion, does that mean that they are a banned member? I wasn't attacking anyone, but maybe you should ask Lethal Weapon the "banned member" question....

What if we really are enjoying it? Will they take us to a back room and do a cavity check?? (fingers crossed)

I'm not accusing or anything, just some food for thought, hmmm.

Why are people denying that they "tipped off" TMZ? I didn't see anyone ask about that. Ever heard the phrase "the guilty dog barks first"? I'm just saying....

Am I crazy, or did I only see 6 shirts in that *8 shirt lot*?

I love being pat down, I might circle around and go two times

Yay!! LOL

Yay! Maybe I will get molested when they come to the US!!

Good to see people appreciating the band like they deserve! I am so glad to see all the great reviews!!

I hope everyone gets lots of TWAT at the shows, including me!!

Thank you MicEffecT! Great job! Good night, forum....I love you all!

We love you too, Axl!!!!!

I gotta be up in 5 hours, but I can't go to bed yet...gotta know the closer.

I knew it! I knew Axl wasn't the asshole everyone was saying that he was!!

That was bullshit. They don't know that he was talking to, or about, Slash. Also, that is petty...turning Axl's words to say what they want. He never said this: insisting even the Haiti earthquake wouldn't prompt him to stage a one-off charity get together. People need to step-off. This has been gone over and over and over and over.... Don't you have anything else in your life? If not, call me and I can hook you up with a volunteer job!

Yeah, it would get to be expensive after 2 or 3 shirts. You have a good point. Now, if we can just get them to Georgia!!!! ;D

You are right, gunsguy. I don't mind paying $40 for a cool shirt. I paid $75 for a Journey shirt, years ago!

He sprained his wrist while doing cartwheels because he was so excited about the tour! Poor baby!!

(I wonder if he needs a private nurse to go on tour with them??)

Dayum!!!!!

Damn, I'm jealous! Sounds like you had a great time!!

patience clip !!!

"How you doin', Ron?" LOL Great Clip!!

That would be funny.
