I like the first single a lot and I'm glad that Axl doesn't feature on it.
Why? Not that there is anything wrong with it of course, just curious

Saw this live yesterday in Montevideo. It was cool! It's obviously not Axl but I like Todd's rendition. Actually, I think he has more frontman energy than Myles.

I kind of like it, fits the overall mood of the song. Not my favorite video ever by any means but I don't have a problem with it

Well, you are talking about both. Isn't that something?

These last posts prove that the singles approach gets old fast 😆
I'm glad we got any songs at all, and to be honest I like all four of them, even with The General shitty mix. However, the listening experience is quite odd this way. Single drops, you listen to it a lot, then you don't really need to come back to it. With an album, or even an EP, you listen to the entire thing and some songs will start to grow on you and so on. I don't have a problem with getting a full album of CD-era songs, but I think the experience and impact of getting a full release at once would be much better.

Unpopular opinion, Bumblefoots Nightrain solo is the best live one performed by any member of GN'R including Slash.
Agreed. The one at Rock Am Ring is awesome

I don't think this is much of a case. She gave three different versions, and on two of them, she said it was consensual. And she sued on the day of the deadline...
I don't think Axl was an angel back in the day, but I don't think this particular one is true

The rocker's attorney, Alan Gutman of Gutman Law, tells TMZ ... "Simply put, this incident never happened. Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires."
Gutman continues ... "Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these again fictional allegations prior to today."
Finally, he finishes with this ... "Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor."

I think they will need to come up with a statement, even if the case is dismissed. This has been pretty much picked up everywhere in a very short time. Based on the victim's own words from her book I don't think there is much of a case, however, the public perception is a whole different story.

____
I’ve never been a big metal fan, but my girlfriend Suzy from Queens was. She loved Poison, Ratt, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, all that shit. I was hanging with her in New York and she was really excited that Rikki Rachtman was importing his traveling metal club the Cat House to some New York venue that night, and she really wanted to go. Rachtman was a big deal at the time; a failed singer, he’d parlayed his friendship with various musicians into a gig hosting a metal-themed video block on MTV called Headbangers’ Ball. I had no idea about any of this shit.
Suzy was my manager’s secretary, Cuban extraction, a little on the zaftig side but still smoking hot by my estimation. Although I wasn’t into metal I was sure as hell still into nightlife. I thought it could be fun. She helped me dress the part by lending me one of her studded belts.
At the club, we were doing our thing, dancing, drinking. In the back of the room there was this table with a huge crowd around it: models and hangers-on, all gravitating around this incredibly good-looking guy with long red hair. I wanted that fucker, whoever he was.
I said to Suzy, “Man, he is gorgeous, who is that?”
Suzy said, “You don’t know who that is?”
“No.”
“That’s Axl Rose. He’s the lead singer of Guns and Roses.”
“OK.”
“You know, ‘Sweet Child of Mine’?”
“OK.”
I had no idea what the fuck she was talking about. All I knew was that he was beautiful. Google some pictures of him from the Appetite For Destruction era. I’m not lying.
Once we got closer to the table he noticed me, too. He got to the point pretty quick. “Hey, you wanna party with me and Rikki?”
“Sure, my girlfriend and I…”
“Not your girlfriend. She’s not hot.”
I was thinking, “Oh shit.” I didn’t feel great about abandoning my friend, but I fucking wanted this guy.
“Go find another girl, we’ll take some other girl but not your girlfriend.”
Fuck it. I said to Suzy, “I’m really sorry, Axl just wants me to go.” She was a pretty good sport about it, or maybe she knew she was about to dodge a bullet. When I got back to Axl, Rikki had found himself a nice looking model I’ll call B., and we were good to go.
We all went to the hotel where Axl and Rikki were sharing a suite. It wasn’t a rock and roll hotel, it was a pretty high-end place, near the Plaza. Could have been the Pierre. When we got to the suite there was a contingent of hangers-on hanging out, champagne, coke, all that, and Rikki has to play bad cop and clear all these leeches out. I asked Axl to point me to where I could freshen up.
I’m in his bathroom. And there’s all kinds of medication laid out on a towel by the sink. There’s lithium, there’s Adderall, there’s all this SHIT. Since this time a lot of Rose’s mental health issues have come to light, but back then his main problem as it was understood by the public was that he was a fucked-up rock star who did fucked-up rock-star things. Which is just a hair different from being a person on anti-psychotic meds, or whatever these were. On top of that, I’m thinking, he’s high on coke, on champagne, on Scotch. He’s very high. He’s a fucking time bomb.
In the bedroom, it’s the four of us, Axl, Rikki, B. So this is how it’s gonna go down, a little mini-orgy. Well, it wasn’t what I had in mind. And once Rikki’s clothes were off, I was looking at his cock and it was kind of on the massive side. Like potentially very uncomfortably massive. And I’m thinking, “I didn’t sign up for THIS.” I had not intended to fuck anyone except Axl. But soon B. is making out with Axl, and soon they’re fucking, and I’m going down on Rikki.
And NOW Rikki decides he wants me to go to another room with him. I throw on a robe. We don’t even get to Rikki’s room, and suddenly we hear screaming. And things being thrown.
Rikki knew what was up. He went white. He said to me, “You need to get your stuff and get out of here.”
“What do you mean, all my stuff is in there.”
“You don’t understand. It’s gonna get worse.”
In the other room I heard Axl screaming “You’re a fucking whore. Get the fuck out of here.” B. comes out of the room. The door of the bedroom’s open, I see a broken TV, and all this shit strewn all over. Axl stalks out of the room. Rikki is sitting in a chair in the main room all collapsed, just being a pussy.
And Axl sees me and says “What the FUCK are you doing back here.” He grabs me by the back of my hair and starts pulling me by the hair. And Rikki just looks at me. I’ve fallen to the floor and Axl’s dragging me across the floor. The carpet’s cutting my legs. And he throws me on the bed and picks up my pantyhose from off of the floor and ties my hands behind my back with them. I’m on the bed, on my stomach.
“Just fucking lay there. Don’t fucking do anything.” I’m crying and bleeding. Axl slams the door and locks it. The other girl is gone. Rikki’s in the other room. And I lay there. And he fucked me, anally. And I could handle it because he wasn’t too big.
Weirdly enough, I was okay with this. I had wanted to be with him since the minute I’d first laid eyes on him, and now I was getting him. Once he was done he untied me and we fucked around some more. I remember going down on him and sticking my finger in his ass and he really wanted that, he really got off on that. That’s what made him come. And when we were exhausted he got up next to me and spooned me, and started playing with my hair.
“Oh my God. I did so not want to do that. I’m so sorry. I did not want to hurt you, that shouldn’t have happened.” He went from being an absolute psycho to this spooning, mewling, apologetic child. I was so exhausted that I passed out. We both passed out. Then it was six or seven in the morning. I was awake and he was gone. Stuff was all over the place. Clothes. Belts. Broken bottles. The overturned TV. The maids were there. I was like “My fucking God. I’ve got to get out of here.” I got dressed as fast as I could and took a train back to Suzy’s. And she’s devastated because I forgot her favorite fucking studded belt. Can you believe it?
“You’re going back and getting it.”
“No fucking way. You don’t understand what happened.”
“I don’t care.”
But I schlep back up to the Pierre. It’s the afternoon. They’re still cleaning the fucking room because it’s in such disarray. But in Axl’s bedroom, everything is made up. Clean as a whistle. And laying neatly atop the bed: Suzy’s belt. And I’m like, “Yeah.”
Axl was gone, by the way, because he had to go on Howard Stern that morning. That was the main reason he was in town. And he was late. Stern wasn’t having it. “I know you’re fucking rock star, but let me tell you something. Nobody is late for my show. So what the fuck were you doing last night?”
“I was with this Penthouse Pet and it just got crazy,” Axl answered.
“Oh, did it now?”
Sure did.
I never saw Axl again. But I saw Rikki. What’s fucked up is that we’ve kind of become friends, and stayed friends. As for Axl, he’s not in a great place now. There are a lot of people out there who want to see him burn in hell. I don’t feel that way about him, but I do feel in a way that he got everything he deserved. Or everything he asked for, whether he knew he was asking for it or not.

The way this is written it sounds like she was ok with it. She actually says it:
"Weirdly enough, I was okay with this. I had wanted to be with him since the minute I’d first laid eyes on him, and now I was getting him. Once he was done he untied me and we fucked around some more."

It is, but all that's going to happen are arguments, fights and some sexist or judgemental comments.
Maybe the thread just isn't for me. I can always choose not to read it.
I totally get your point, especially with the last couple of pages. People will troll even with stuff like this, which should be taken very seriously. But I don't think closing the topic is the way to go

Wow, some neandathal views here about something people know nothing about.
It's rare I'd ever say it, but I'd honestly argue for the threads on this topic to be closed apart from actual updates.
Does the forum really need to go down the 'she's making it up for money' or 'he looks dodgy, must have done it' route and showcase people's attitudes?
We all know nothing about this.
I mean, you can close the topic but people will still talk about it. It is big news

Well, my friend, she has every right to monetary compensation after having to endure the sexual approaches by Fernando and Beta. If you somehow think she's wrong for seeking justice, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you solve things like that in Brazil, but in the civilized world, things work differently, honey.
You had a good point until you went for xenophobia.
There are shit people everywhere, honey.

Hope Kat gets a good deal and the fucker is fired and gone. A nice side-effect would be getting a competent manager

I don't think the band necessarily knows the contract situation and even less the sexual allegations. Fortus being the ex, I don't think he is cool with this at all. I doubt either Axl, Slash or Duff knows about the sexual harassment because I don't think they would cover him at all. Fernando is not someone that you need to cover up, he is only there because Axl likes the family, so I think that if they knew about it, he would be fired already.
-
You just can't have Fernando as a manager after all of this anymore.
-
Besides the sexual allegations themselves (which is already a very bad look), all the contract and copyright handling looks very amateur-ish. This must be one of the most common things to handle as a manager, and if you can't even do that properly you are not a fit for the job...

I think Monster is quite cinematic. You have various moods in the same songs. The intro is quite mysterious, then the poppy ad-libs, the monster voice, the mean bridge, and the chorus is catchy. So it should work in theory. Not saying it will happen though

The General is good, but I don't really love the "can anybody help me" part. The voice effect sounds like Linkin Park

I think Chinese is an amazing album, and it's way better than TSI. It's actually my favorite album from GNR. But all this shit is subjective
