    I saw the clip and cannot discern whether he was mouthing off racism; I'm not a lip-reader but it looked like ''fuckin Manc cunt'' from where I am sitting, but it certainly sent the chattering classes of Twitter into a left-wing hysteria, as if they aren't hysterical enough already with Brexit haha.

    Smth like this 😂

    We all know that Axl once said that he would hate to be an artist that just relied on his past catalog. 

    And forget about the 13 million dollars and 13 years leading up to CD. 

    Since then, why do you think Axl has chosen to not share his music with his millions of fans?

    He said CD2 - with 10 B-sides - would be coming a year after CD was released. And it’s been reported that Cd was supposed to be a two or three album run. That was a decade ago  

    Beta said there were a 100 songs. Axl said something like 24 or 39 songs were done. 

    Multiple band members desperately wanted to release GnR music. Several talked about songs they worked on. And several left because they got tired of just covering other people’s music. 

    There is no doubt Slash/Duff would love to release new GnR music  

    So we know there are completed songs. We know band members wanted to release music. We know fans would buy millions of copies. And currently the GnR “brand” is higher than it has been since the mid-90s. 

    A new GnR album released at the start of this year would have sold 5 million copies and spent several weeks at number one. 

    Why shitcan CD2 and all those b-sides? Why not take the best CD2 songs, let Slash and Duff work on them, add three new songs and release that album? Then put the leftovers on ITunes? Hell, people would have lost their minds if they would have just played 1-2 songs on this tour. 

    Your thoughts on why Axl has changed and turned into an artist that chooses to not share his music with his fans. Especially knowing that millions of his die-hard fans would LOVE it. 

    He said, she said, they said...

    Maybe he has nothing to share, and that 30-50, 100 songs don't exist or , if they do, are pure shit...

    Maybe he doesn't care anymore, he earned his pension in last 2,5 years...

    Maybe noone want to work with him anymore (could you blame them...)...

    Maybe he is still polishing CD2 material amd will release it in 2025.

    Who knows...

    The whole thing looks rigged for England to win Euros. Or is it perfect for Germany to win Euros in the new Wembley on penalties. 

    The other aspect of it is the romance of playing finals in 12 different countries. The whole thing  has such huge potential to be a disaster. 

     

    If noone else show up - England will find a way to lose it on penalties :D

    I think it’s more likely England win NL final after losing Qualifiers of both varities. If that’s at all possible, England can do it. 

    Oh, it seems it's possible, it seems that Final 4 of NL is not the samo torunament as play-off qual.

    so NL winner can lose both - Euro quals and play-off based on NL ranking :D

    So, England can win NL, and not to go to Euro final tournament (whose semis and final is in England as I remember)

    Really? That’s a nuance I didn’t know. They lose their place in The NL Finals too? 

    I have to admit I tried to work out how to these 2 comps and keep all the games competitive and couldn’t. 

    Their solution is so convoluted it leads to mass delusion. It’s like a mirage. To Kane and Wenbley the NL Final was an oasis in the future. 

    The problem is to get excitement you have to up the stakes. But you also want to be inclusive. But you don’t want Spain shagging teams in the finals so hard that everyone thinks it’s pointless. 

    Maybe NL just shouldn’t be linked to Euros. Just make it more of a cup competition. As it is but in March it would be playoffs leading to a NL final. Fix it so teams in League D get to semis. Have two legs or straight to penalties after 90 mins. You want Macedonia to beat England in the final on penalties. 

    The after the shitshow pick the 24 highest ranked teams for Euros. They must have an index or something. 

    That's what I concluded after reading:

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020_qualifying

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Nations_League

    " There will be play-offs for each of Leagues A, B, C and D in March 2020. Each group winner earns a spot in the semi-finals. If the group winner is already one of the twenty qualified teams, rankings will be used to give the play-off spot to another team of that league. If fewer than four teams in the entire league remain unqualified, play-off spots for that league are given to teams of the next lower league. This determines the four remaining qualifying spots for the European Championship (out of 24 total )"

    and this:

    https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/newsid=2502936.html

     

    Play-offs (4 teams qualify)
    The last four EURO places will be won through the European Qualifiers play-offs, which will be contested by the 16 UEFA Nations League group winners (i.e. the four group winners in each of the four divisions).

    HOW THE UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE WILL WORK

    • Each league will have a path of its own and each path will feature two single-leg semi-finals and one single-leg final, drawn on 22 November 2019, played in single venues from 26–31 March 2020.  The winner of each path will win a ticket to UEFA EURO 2020.

    • If a UEFA Nations League group winner has already qualified via the European Qualifiers, then their spot will go to the next best-ranked team in their league. If a league does not have four teams to compete, the remaining slots are allocated to teams from another league, according to the overall UEFA Nations League rankings.

     

     

    So, if England win Quals - no trophy for you :D

    It was actually less complicated.

    The NL playoffs are the Euro qualifier playoffs. 

    Yep, and if England finish 1st or 2nd in their EURO qualifing group they will be replaced by someone else in play-off so Nations League trophy can be won by some team that didn't finish 1st in Nations League group stage... System that awards losers :facepalm:

    People that manage football are stupid - cut the f'n Euro to 8 teams and let the best win... If you cannot qualify - so what, you are loser and weak. You have Olympics to participate and not win...

    Let Axl be disappointed then. I am disappointed with his mickey voice, haggard look, and cash grab tours. He had unlimited potential back in 2002 and gave up on himself, his band, and his vision.

    It's no con. I see it with my own two eyes. Millions of real Americans do as well, which is why we voted Trump. Everywhere I go, I am surrounded by 3rd world foreigners and it didn't used to be like that growing up in the 90's. They are here to flood our schools, hospitals, and prisons....all at hard working American's expense. You are right in that the elites rigged the economy, but they did it by flooding this country with 3rd world foreigners and signing bad trade deals which enabled millions of jobs to be outsourced. If these huge corporations(which bribed the crooked politicians) aren't outsourcing jobs, they are hiring Indians to come here and work through the H1/H2 Visa program. Real Americans have been fleeced. Good paying jobs gone and forced to compete with 3rd worlders for the dead end jobs remaining.

    Well, all trumps kids are half 3rd world offspring :D
