    GNR Women's Discussion - Part 2

    in THE JUNGLE

    Posted

    I'm just spiraling watching Axl Videos when he was young and hot as FFFF. It's a shame he let himself go. I know back in the day he said on MTV interview his biggest vices is food. Well, that's ok when your metabolism is fast and you're running 15 km/day etc like he used to!

    I don't know what his ffff excuse is, but there is no valid one. To be honest, as a celebrity/rock star you gotta look HOT! And having a good body is probably the easiest thing to do as an older person (vs. fighting away crows feet/wrinkles). I hate when people say..."oh he's old...see how you look when you're 50+ years old". I'm approaching 40 years and I still get mistaken for being under 30! I work out/jog and take care of myself. I don't have millions of dollars for a personal trainer to be with me while on tour (pure jokes--fire the guy!)...I don't even have a fff gym membership! 

    Eat sensibly, and work out buddy! I'll be his personal trainer -- and then make him use the litter box if he's a bad boy!

    Anyone meet Slash after his solo shows?

    in SLASH DISCUSSIONS

    Posted

    just b/c I'm seeing fans say here he isn't the most friendliest... I just wanted to share my expierence w/ him...

    went to an after hours private party when VR was in town and told Slash that I loved his music and his response was very humble as he said he hoped that I would like his new material. He was all smiles. This was early 2000s so unsure how a meeting now would go. Maybe I'll find out in the next few weeks--wish me luck ;)

    i still prefer the im gonna work it out version

    my fav track of this release!!

    I wasn't too sure Axl sang "to another" or "your mother" (hence all in the family since the sister's in there too lol)

    anyone has the lyrics for this?? (also unsure if he sings "cookies and cream" or "PXX and cream")

    Love it

    One or two floor tickets available on presale - but they are very back (section F6)

    The fan presale and Rama member presale are about the same in terms of seat selection so they either froze out the floor or their preferred members gobbled up all the tickets

    Just keep checking back, especially when the general sale starts up

    the only way I think I'll go is if I get the floor as that venue is...not my style. Are you going?

    Humor and sex have nothing to do with those tshirts.

    Female legs hanging from a trash can is a strong message and I dont see neither the humor or the sex on it.

     

    in this case, true regarding that T-shirt...I forgot about that one... but this is the same band w/ the robot raping a girl on thier original album art, "back off bitch", "turn around I got a use for you"...Axl isn't a feminist (like the grunge-era bands, etc) and I don't expect him to "change" (I mean I don't know the guy but from what I gather he has women issues steming from his childhood)...not that that's an excuse but I see GNR as a fun escape...maybe we should go to the next show wearing male legs dangling from a garbage can

    I'm going to say this carefully, but in part the rock guys are untouchable because the groupie scene has muddied the waters to an unbelievable extent. Many (not all) women were active participants in their own degradation back then. Many weren't, but it's extremely hard for them to rise above that image. Roxana Shirazi can call herself a feminist all she wants, but her behavior muddies the waters. Why does Axl still wear those ridiculous t-shirts? Because he can, baby.

    Exactly...it's like the groupies to the athletes, etc...each person is getting something out of it...like the late Hugh Hefner said, "If a beautiful women expressed interest in me and my company, I don't really probe their motivations. Call me shallow." 

    As for the T-shirts...I consider myself a feminist and see nothing wrong with them...like please don't take away humor/sex from me

    I fully appreciate the sheer effort Axl is putting into those performances, and he does sound better than all of 2017 and actually better than some moments in 2016.

    There are however some clear signs that his voice is absolutely ravaged from the massive tour. His lower register falters ocasionally, and that high rasp he uses for the Better bridge, parts of prostitute, and used for AC/DC Brian songs sounds absolutely obliterated right now. Hopefully it comes back after he rests a bit.

    I felt he can really sing well on cover songs and CD songs. But for AFD it's more difficult for him

    this concert I was in the nosebleeds (vs floor/pit which I've been accustomed to...ha!) as a group of my girlfriends and I went. Paying the extra $200 for a far better seat is well worth it for me...BUT I did manage to have a wonderful time...

    During two songs (I can't remember which ones) his vocals/mix changed drastically (I'm not an audio engineer)...so I don't know what that is about...unsure if I heard it more pronounced due to my poor seating.

    Maybe b/c of the crap seats or maybe b/c I'm battelling a cold but the concert was far too long for me...and too many CD songs...I would've preferred UYI rairities...HOWEVER, playing TWAT was appreciated.

    I'm good for now for GNR live...until 2 years or so hehe

    lookiing for: hoodie and white shorts

    in MEMORABILIA TRADING

    Posted

    on the official Merch site I really like those white jogger shorts (can also go for black)

    also interested in an oversized hoodie

     

    I'm looking on the cheap, and I may just by online...but incase someone wants to clear out the closet.

    I'm size S/size 4 but for the hoodie I can go size M or L for men as I'm looking for oversize (and I think the smallest shorts are M in men, so I gotta make it work)

    thx

    How do you enjoy listening to the Illusions albums?

    can we change the options and have " I enjoy listening to the albums as a 29 song consecutive playlist without My World"

    ya I always skip this song (and if husband's driving I quickly skip this song for dear life so I don't have to expose him to this song...he's never heard it)

    Personally I listen from the start while I jog...these songs have motivated me for 20 years to get my butt in gear

    Sadly, I think Axl pretty much did all but chain Steven to a bed.  If being issued with a contract that basically says GNR or drugs - please choose - doesn't make you wake up and take stock of your life, what would?  Even near death experiences weren't enough.  It's sad and a waste of talent.

    very sad indeed...people with addiction/disease don't see things like you and I (assuming ;) ).
