Yes, my plight. No one knows my pain.

I

Really, though. How has reporting me to the mods worked out? I must be immune because I donated millions of dollars to the forum. It's definitely not because everyone sees you for the vacuous cum dumpster that you are.

I still won't sink to your level, I can't see how a mentally healthy and mature adult can let themselves behave this way on the internet toward a complete stranger. It is a form of sickness.

I hope you get help.

I have Len on block, have had for six weeks.Simply not worth my time.

It is pretty amazing. I am both mentally healthy and mature and, at the same time, I enjoy poking stupid zoo animals (that would be you, rita) with a stick on the internet. It's my versions of reading the tabloids while I'm in line at the grocery store. Except the crazy person actually responds with more crazy every time I give input. It's a brilliant system.

Let me guess, reported?

As I said, this was a bit of a social experiment and you reacted very predictably, complete with childish and juvenile insults geared to elicit a response.

Pretty amusing actually, and judging from your content and the amount of time you spend on the internet, you are anything but healthy and mature. But good job trying to convince yourself as well as others differently.

Have a blessed day, I'm going to

Fuck forgiveness. I'd rather euthanize dumb bitches like you.

I'm sorry you feel the need to threaten and harass strangers on the internet, that says a lot about your plight and character.

You ever wondered why you're so obsessed with "negativity," stupid little girl? Or does that go right over your head?

And you are reported again

Let's see how that works out for you.

Worked out pretty well with other people

I honestly feel sorry that you have to pay to stay on a forum and bash a band 24-7 to feel some self-worth and gratification. It must be an empty life for you.

It won't affect my positivity nor quality of life one bit though.

And I still refuse to sink to your level.

magisme: has fun on the forum, gets along with pretty much everyone

ohuglyrita: speaks incessantly of "negativity" and fights with everyone

magisme: miserable

ohdullardrita: happy and positive

I'll say a prayer for you.

Have a great day

And are you sure you want to call the integrity of the forum into question when you try to cry to the mods every time someone posts something that makes your vag hurt?

I forgive you, I'm sorry that you are so miserable.

This was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta, India:

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

You are the definition of predictable, you ignorant, repetitive, inaccurately derivative twat.

And you are reported again What a sad little man.

Negative people will always make you feel like it’s you that’s negative. They’ll blame your race, your language, your hair color, anything that would differentiate you from them could be blamed. They make everything about you when in fact it’s not. It’s about them, their issues, their failures, their lack of joy in life. And the moment you realize their negativity is because they’re unhappy with their own lives, you will no longer feel bad about yourself!

Dealing with Negativity

When it comes to people, the best thing you can do is to avoid them. Stop listening to them, stop talking to them. Don’t waste your time trying to argue, or reason, or help them. Stop all of it. If you keep coming back, then you’re asking for trouble.

Now what about people you can’t get rid of? You can’t get rid of negative family or negative co-workers. What you can do is develop a stronger mental shield. And this is something I feel everyone should develop as soon as possible. Because the stronger this mental shield, the more you can protect yourself and thrive even in the presence of negative energy. You have to be able to take criticism. You have to be able to accept the fact that people you don’t know, are going to look at you, and judge you, and hate what they see. And you need to have the confidence to know that this is perfectly fine! Because the more successful you become, the more haters you will have!

It’s ok for haters to exist,

it’s not ok for them to affect your life!

The moment you realize negative people are unhappy with themselves,

you no longer blame yourself for their negativity.

Of course you won't bother addressing the salient points Len makes. You'll just focus on "negativity." Must be because you're such a positive person.

It is a waste of time to debate with such people- Not about to cater to that need for a reaction.

Here you go, if the shoe fits

Negativity . . . . You make a positive comment, but the response is negative or even sadistic.

WHY are some people always negative? Could they actually derive pleasure from making negative comments to other people while attempting to destroy confidence, hopes, or dreams?

What kind of personal needs do 'negative comments' satisfy? Does negativity suppress painful feelings of inferiority caused by failure to accomplish desired goals? Is negativity a result of jealousy? And, most of all, is negativity a selfish manipulaltion of another person designed to gain personal satisfaction by bringing the other person down?

In his article regarding negativity on www.socialgods.com, Ditch the Negative People, Zeus provides explanations, stating, "These people are out to get you." He warns that negative people "try to discourage you" and "force you to give up." To decrease the discouraging effects of negative comments, Zeus advises, "For people that you can't avoid, such as family and co-workers, don't tell them about any business or personal goals that you plan on pursuing."

According to Zeus, negative people are "miserable," and he states, "Wherever they go, people scatter like bugs do when the lights go on because they project misery."

Negativity on blog sights is common. Derogatory, even cruel or obscene remarks unrelated to the subject, often attack bloggers. The commenter is sometimes attacked and degraded merely for 'expressing an opinion.'

Referring to negativity on web sites, Shibashake's article, Negative People - Dealing with Online Negativity, states, "Criticizing and destroying someone else's ideas take very little thought, whereas building upon an idea and making it better takes creativity and a fair chunk of time." Shibashake also suggests, "Some negative people want to cause fear, sadness, or embarrassment in others because it brings them money or power (e.g. short sellers, politicians)."

Most people are aware that a 'negative image' is to be avoided and cheerfully comment, "Doin' good!," no matter how bad things are. In contrast, 'pessimistic people' may not realize that they project a negative image.

Negative people not only appear 'miserable' but seem 'jealous' of other people. Interestingly, when a compliment would be appropriate, negative people are often silent.

There are reasons why people make negative comments. "Understanding the reasons may be helpful in dealing with the problem," according to Catherine Pratt in How to deal with difficult people. Pratt suggests that "frustration" or "lack of self esteem" may cause negativity, and she advises that hurting others may make negative people feel powerful.

Pratt also suggests that negative people "want to get a reaction from you," and they "hit one of your buttons to remind you of past feelings of guilt or anger." Or they "cause painful feelings of rejection or feelings of inadequacy."

Pratt advises that people should avoid "constant talkers, repeated negative tales, sob sisters, people who consistently want help to fix their problems, and blamers." These people, she advises, only drain energy.

Dammit, Axl. Accept the damn thing, suck it up, and play an acoustic song with Slash. Do Cornshucker for all I care.

Nobody owes you, not one goddamn thing.

Am looking forward to attending this, I love L.A.

If it is, does that change anything in my existence? Because I don't think it will. The same things will still make me happy or sad.

knowing its a simulation might cause people to think life is a meaningless waste of time.

Don't some think that regardless? And act accordingly?

How Negative Energy Affects Your Life and How to Clear It

You know that like attracts like, right? So here's the deal: Positive people are drawn to positive energy; negative people are drawn to negative energy. We tend to perceive negative energy as something other people have.

Sure, sometimes we feel negative – as in, “go away and leave me alone, world!” but did you know that negativity can be so ingrained in you that it goes unnoticed?

That's because negativity sometimes wears a disguise called ‘reality'. It's easy to rationalize that you're ‘just being realistic' in not daring to act on a dream – and believe it!

You may assume that positive people are not being realistic – that they're being naive, that they are in denial with their heads stuck in the sand, that they put on fake smiles in the face of difficulty and so forth. But are they really happy idiots or is there something to their positivity?

Consider this: since when does ‘being realistic' necessarily mean that things will go wrong and that you have to accept that as the truth?

That doesn't mean that being realistic is automatically negative. When you view the world from a ‘realistic' standpoint, you can't help but be negative IF your version of reality is negative.

If your version of reality is negative, you are conditioned to believe that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and whatever can go right, will probably go wrong too. Your unconsciously held beliefs make you into a negative person without your being aware of it!

So – if this negativity is so ingrained in you that you don't notice it, how do you determine whether you're stuck in a cloud of negative energy that is attracting the wrong people, wrong situations and wrong feelings? And how can you be sure you're not perpetuating that negativity?

Here's a quick quiz to gauge the level of negative energy within you:

- Do you complain? All the time or just sometimes?

- Do you often discuss what's wrong in the world more than what's right? This includes the ‘terrible' weather, ‘horrible' traffic, ‘idiotic' government, ‘lousy' economy, ‘stupid' in-laws, etc.

- Do you criticize? All the time or just certain people?

- Are you attracted to drama and disaster (can you unglue yourself from the TV when there's a news story of a disaster and can you avoid getting involved in the lives of dysfunctional celebrities?)

- Do you blame? All the time or just certain situations?

- Do you believe that you have no control over most of your results?

- Do you feel like a victim? Do you talk about people doing things to you?

- Are you grateful for what is or will you be grateful when things finally start going right for you?

- Do you feel like things are happening to you? Or do you feel that they are happening through you?

These last two points are important: If you're not grateful except when things go right, you are negative. Gratitude is positive. If you are grateful for what is (including the unpleasant school of life lessons, then you can invite more and more positive energy into your life.

Believing that things happen to you puts you in the role of victim; then it's easy to be negative because it's convenient to give up that power. So consider this alternative: who or what is to blame when GOOD things happen to you? Do you acknowledge that you are responsible for the good things – as in, you worked hard, you earned it, etc… but blame external events or other people for your failures? So how come, when good things happen, they are a result of what you do, but when bad things happen, they are not your fault?

Nobody likes to hear that. It takes courage to accept that you create your life experience!

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are holding on to negative energy to some degree! To clear your negative energy and raise your vibration, you will need to retrain yourself to choose a positive attitude.

Here's another interesting idea to consider: have you noticed that positive people seem to get what they want out of life, and even if things don't go their way, they still enjoy their lives… while negative people whine and moan about their misfortunes and even the good things in their lives?

To clear negative energy, try this 3 -step process:

1. Take ownership: “When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.” – the Dalai Lama

2. Cancel negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. This takes practice, dedication and making a decision to see the world through the eyes of “what can go right” instead of “what can go wrong.” You'll have to catch yourself anytime you are acting out or speaking out your negativity, and immediately change your tune.

3. visualize the positive instead of getting sucked into negativity; overcome past conditioning; think intuitively from the soul instead from ‘reality'; create a new, desired reality in your imagination and manifest it in the outer world.

Nobody wants negative energy to permeate their lives, yet many of us allow it. But we allow it unconsciously, based on past conditioning that suggests an inevitable outcome to certain situations. When you overcome that conditioning and realize that the future is NOT cast in stone but that you have more control over your circumstances than you believe – then you can begin to consciously design your life.

What's going to happen then? Your positive energy will magnetically attract what you consider to be good and right for you: people, situations, things… and you'll notice a huge, huge increase in your happiness and inner peace.

Why not choose positive energy? Make some changes within, and you'll quickly see positive changes in your life. Enjoy the good feelings and abundance!

Who knows...it's plausible.

How?

How is it not?

Despite all our advances and our sense of daily comfort in our shared existence, we're ultimately walking about on a giant floating rock in the middle of a literally infinite expanse of space with galaxies we know next to nothing about, planets we will never explore in this lifetime or the next, and at the end of the day, we don't really know how we got here, what our purpose in life is, or whether there is an afterlife. And now there are theories that our universe is just one in an infinite series of big bangs and eventual implosions, where space gets stretched out and then rebounds into itself and starts all over again, that maybe there were millions or billions of other universes before ours.

It's just fucking strange to think about isn't it? So maybe life is all one big simulation, who knows. It wouldn't be any crazier than the stuff I just mentioned above.

Good post

Well no, actually, I wouldn't do what this guy is doing. Ever. I have ethics. And I believe in making money on my own steam; not capitalizing and exploiting other people's names and work.

If Axl had no legal rights to the recordings, there really wouldn't be any need for a court fight at all. This guy would show up in court, produce his paperwork, and go on his way. The facts that he's asking people to engage in letter writing campaigns and that this has dragged on so long do suggest there are at least some valid legal questions about the ownership and his rights to release this work.

The thing about copyright is that owning the rights to a song do NOT give you rights over someone's image. If I sing "Happy Birthday" in a movie I have to pay royalties and fees to the copyright holder of that song. However the copyright holders cannot sell my performance as their own, nor do they own it.

Angel Down's irrelevant here. Guesting on three songs for someone else's band is in no way, shape or form the same as FRONTING a band, performing on all their material and helping write it - as he did in Rapidfire. He's the lead singer and he's the sole reason this guy is getting ANY interest in the recordings. And the guy is going out of his way to capitalize on Axl's name and image. Damn right Axl deserves a large share of the royalties for that.

Good post! I agree

The internet is a garbage can

Such a shame that some are so negative and biased that they feel the need to make disparaging comments regarding this announcement.

It's nothing new, and for the most part harmless. But when you call into question Ronnie James Dio or the fact that the award is named after him... What did he ever do to you? There's nobody in the metal community that has a single bad thing to say about Dio.

Big Dio fan here-

Am seeing lots of really good things for GNR in 2014

That isn't a paid meet and greet. You gotta know the right person to get in that one

I'll be partying with Axl in Vegas.

Absolutely great news! I will definitely be attending.

Such a shame that some are so negative and biased that they feel the need to make disparaging comments regarding this announcement.

I believe it's gonna sell well. They have the GNR name, the Apettite name and cover, old people will buy it, watch it once or twice. It's not some kind of artistic work, just look at the cover, looks like those DVDs that come with magazines (don't know if these exist outside my country). Don't think this will fail, it sure won't be a smashng success.

"Old people will buy it"

TB is just synonymous with GNR going to shit. Who knows how much of a cause they are, but there's definitely a correlation.

All encompassing statements like that aren't necessarily true simply because you anonymously post them on a forum.

I wish all the TB associated hate threads would stop.

People's personal lives are nobody's business.

i agree...to an extent.

hate threads? not cool. voicing valid criticisms in a constructive fashion? 100% relevant. Team Brazil gave up their 'private figure' as soon as they became officially linked with GN'R as managers. if fans are not happy with how they are conducting affairs, they have a right to opine.

but that doesn't mean we're going to allow senseless bashing.

Good to hear.

I wish all the TB associated hate threads would stop.

People's personal lives are nobody's business.

but you don't have to think anymore, they do it all for you.

I quite agree ratbrain.

The truth is most people don't want to know the truth, made this thread as a social experiment.

Earl Nightengale said, "You become (and get) what you think about most of the time." Ernest Holmes wrote, "If man takes his images of thought only from his previous experiences, then he continues in the bondage which those previous experiences create.

Like always attracts like. Always- This is the uncomfortable law of attraction.

Let's say there's something you want. You can't desire something AND doubt it can or will be yours. You also cannot focus on its absence, because... like always attracts like.

One Law of Attraction approach would be to complain to others and think, most of the time, about how and why what you want isn't happening.

This is the vibrational frequency you transmit and the reason you arent being blessed.

Does Axl even want to release any more music? Or is that just a collective delusion from us diehards?

Or does he just want to tour? Can he at least let us know either way? We need to know. He needs to have a heart to heart with the fans.

Axl is always ready to release new music, and be productive. It is the fault of the fans, the management, the record company, the band members, the ex bandmates, the lawyers, the ex wives, the groupies, the girlfriends, the world that is stopping him and his team to be back in the game.

If you are a diehard fan of GNR and expect Axl of 2000s/2010s to be the same monster he was way back then you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

We dont even know if he wants to tour. Who knows if you can still count on him and his team to be available for the vegas shows.

Can he let us know either way? Well, Jarmo and Del and DJ and Bumblefoot are pretty honest and provide straight up information now and then. wink wink.

So by all the not too subtle winking you are insinuating that you are an insider, or have information?

Interesting
