My signature is an ancient Asian proverb an old Chinese woman told me when I was backpacking through China and it changed my life forever. 😀 What about yours? 🤔

It can't be that big of a shock. He had been struggling with addictions for decades, had been in and out of rehab more times than most people can count. He was in a coma a few years ago and it's a miracle he survived that. Still sad, though.

The General is starting to grow on me after a few more listens and I think I will end up liking it a lot. Monsters sounded great at first hear.

It's funny to see how emotionally invested some people get, though : )

Huh? Who says it was important to them or that they were looking for acceptance? As Gilby once said, Axl always knew about the latest bands and he loved a lot of those alt bands and wanted to give them a chance to go on tour with them to give them more exposure. Duff knew some of the guys from those Seattle bands from before he had even moved to LA, so he probably just saw them as friends.

No, that’s not why. You should think beyond borders because Weert and Landgraaf are 15 minutes from both Belgium and Germany. The reason it didn’t sell out is most likely because they’ve played this region many times in the last 6 years and with concert tickets being so expensive nowadays and it being festival season, many people had to make a choice on what to go see since many can’t go to multiple shows anymore.

I've seen dieseldaisy posting at the bad apples forum. Mostly talking shit about this forum and its posters. It seems he's still utterly obsessed with MYGNR, hahaha. Too bad about Oldest Goat leaving, he was a good egg.

I understand him not wanting to tour, it's not a lifestyle for everyone and it's clearly not for him, but I think it's a shame he did go on stage with Velvet Revolver and nu-GnR but not with the current GnR. Even if it's just for one or two songs like Steven did. It would mean a lot to many GnR fans, and it really wouldn't be that big of a deal.

I know you meant it in a good way. I wasn't referring to you, but there are always a few posters here who seem to get triggered by her posts and keep on reacting, and I guess I don't see the point.

From what she says, she is autistic. Why people keep reacting to her in a joking or negative manner is something I don't understand. From what I can tell, she's not offending anyone, so if someone is really that bothered by an autistic person expressing their thoughts on a forum, put her on ignore already. It's not rocket science, ya know...

Isn’t it obvious that this band doesn’t operate like most other bands? Why keep getting your hopes up and getting disappointed? Unless you’re a new fan, it’s awfully naive to constantly let that happen. I don’t get that. And I disagree. Some fans do create their own time frame and then when something doesn’t happen, they get mad, but the reality of the situation is that they never announced it in the first place, so it’s absurd getting mad, especially with the knowledge of how this band, unfortunately, operates. And this is not me defending GnR, this is me being rational about it.

Oh yeah, that's what I was doing, defending Axl (a man I don't even know) ''vigorously'', to get a hug, hahaha. p.s. I don't defend the band at all, I don't care enough nor do I have reason to, but as many before me pointed out, in this case the band never announced a date for the release of a song, so people getting disappointed is all on them. I didn't get disappointed because I know better. So yes, it is not exactly smart to expect something that's not announced and then to get mad, especially in the case of band like GnR. And this is not the first time you see that around here.

Isn't that how it always goes? People set time frames for something to happen based on rumours, soundchecks or whatever, not the band, and then when it doesn't happen within their own created time frame, they get mad at the band (particularly Axl) instead of themselves. The overall intelligence level isn't very high here.

Your snarky remark and having to comment on a stranger, probably playfully (who cares anyway?), giving the finger in a clip, says otherwise.

Relax.

After Kurt's death Nirvana became even more popular. That's what happens to most artists when they die young. Tupac, Biggie, Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin, you can't say that they became irrelevant or weren't popular anymore after their death, quite the opposite.

It's not for you to decide what someone else can or cannot be insecure about. Maybe having thousands of people cheering you on every show helps. Because not everyone is as obsessed with his voice as people on here.

Well obviously. He spent years working on CD and it meant the world to him, and then it was received with lukewarm to negative reactions from the majority, just like with Absurd and Hard Skool. I bet he is an insecure person like a lot of artists are. So there is no reason for him to be in a rush or put a new album out at all. It sucks, but it is what it is. As soon as people accept that, the sooner they stop moaning about it.

I forgot but I agree it was uncalled for. I thought Axl looked and sounded good for a man his age. But my mom is blunt like that, she always does this shit. This was the last time I brought her along to a concert.

Yeah, I was standing there, someone in the audience screamed ''stop eating tacos and take some singing lessons, you fucker''. Good response from Axl, the old Axl would have stormed off or something.

Ah, I don't blame him. Weert is very close to Germany, and it's in the province of Limburg, even some Dutch people consider that Germany, haha.

17? Try 45 countries : /

Months prior to this show I've seen and heard quite a few commercials on TV and radio promoting this show, so I don't think this is true.

I have no idea. I'm sure a lot of it is not true. But I do think that if there are intelligent species out there (and I think there's a good chance) who are more advanced than us in technology and thousands of years ahead of us, I don't see why they couldn't travel through space in a way that is impossible for us to understand right now, especially when you look at what we have already achieved right now while we have only just begun exploring it.

I hope you're being sarcastic.
