  1. Again,you guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. Nobody said the appearance is cancelled. Coachella paid big bucks for the reunion. Maybe they want to officially announce it first.

    Exactly! If I were Coachella, I'd already be pissed that everyone is talking about it. The reunion is literally being ruined because everyone can't just play it cool, as has always happened with GNR since the Internet. You all have to have leaks and tour dates and press releases and confirmations. You're rushing something they have a specific plan for. Its gonna happen, but just go to sleep until it does cause you're honestly ruining it.

    Yes. But also, you know the best way to guarantee this doesn't happen? STOP FREEZING OUT YOUR FANBASE. If you want people to stop being rabid for scraps, stop withholding everything for 10, 12 years at a time. You don't see this shit with any other band on the planet...mostly because every other band on the planet doesn't disappear for years at a time. If they were a constant, reliable presence, we wouldn't be having this manic uproar. We would simply all be sitting here, laughing over good conversation and waiting to buy tickets.

    Thats just not how it goes though, and you should know that. There's enough info out there that proves its happening. This is the one time people should just sit back and relax. Learn from the past that you will not force an announcement. This is the calm before the storm. This is the time to silently enjoy, not need every little bit of information. I get that people have been rabid for 15 years, but this is the one time you shouldn't be because we all know its happening. There's nothing to be rabid about. Just fucking wait (and thats not directed at you if it sounds harsh, I just mean everyone).

    No worries. :)

  3. He doesnt owe anyone weight loss or improved vocals, regardless of peoples sense of entitlement on here.

    I agree about the weight, but his voice, seriously? Isn't it a professional singer's responsability to deliver a good vocal performance to a paying audience?
    So what has Bob Dylan's excuse been for 40 years? He may be a great song writer but he cannot sing for shit.
  4. I'm curious.. Do you think Axl would sing any of the songs Slash has done with MK? To be fair some of them are brilliant. Imo anyway.

    And if so, what song would you like to hear?

    Omg. Starlight. That song would be fucking incredible with rasp on the verses and that amazing Axl shriek up into the chorus. Holy shitballs.
    Agreed! it would sound awesome with raspy Axl vocals, could have been a great GNR ballad

    I can honestly hear it in my head. If he could do it in his '92 rasp....holy shit. That sort of restricted, crackly way of his. And hit that fire siren wail on the chorus? Chills.

  5. Don't forget oxygen break guitar solos.

    Joke CD-era setlist I posted on the old chinesedemocracy.com forum a few years ago -

    1. Axl Rant

    2. November Rain

    3. Axl Throws Someone Out

    4. "You downloading motherf*&%^rs"

    5. Sorry/Axl tries to keep Baz off the stage (Fails)

    6. Dizzy Solo

    7. For Mom

    8. Macarena

    9. Axl Rides A Motorbike Onstage

    10. ...crashes into Ron.

    11. Ron is too nice to admit that Axl has broken his legs.

    12. Axl blames it on someone else and walks off

    13. "WE WANT MERCK!" "WE WANT MERCK!"

    14. Band members start jamming

    15. Axl comes back on

    16. ....slips over jam

    17. Sympathy For The Devil

    18. Axl slides off

    19. Riot

    20. Kurt Loder tells racist jokes to keep the crowd calm

    21. Gets banned by the venue admins

    22. Paradise City with Dumbledore on vocals

    This wins the boards.

  6. Well, each to their own. If I were going to be a fan because of people's looks, I'd go follow a boy band.

    Rock n roll is a lot to do with image... especially the hard rock bands that are popular. I might love the music Leslie West makes... but certainly wont be hanging his poster up my wall. Boy bands are pop bands who are cliche and their music sucks.

    Its good to see bands that look good and sound great. I know its all about music... but cmon.

    You're a fucking idiot if you'd rather see fit Axl sounding like shit (Mickey Mouse as you put it) than see fat Axl sounding good.

    Preferably, he'd both look good and sound good, but there's no question which is more important.

    I actually sort of hope Axl doesn't lose any weight but sounds fucking amazing, just to shut up those who think weight and voice can't be mutually exclusive.
    Weight relates to the stage presence though. If he's running around and gets too tired, it will affect his ability to sing well consistently.

    Then don't buy a ticket. See how easy that was?
