I've been feeling super depressed all week since the SMKC show

Yes, I know the feeling!! And I also know how to heal it  The answer is - and I'm sorry your bank acount won't agree - more concerts. Last year after the GNR show I went to see Aerosmith and this year Steven Tyler with his solo project and Nuno Bettencourt. So choose a band you like, don't think about the money and just go... It will feel better 

awww, I wasn't even born when the Illusions came out, so I'm loving reading all these stories  The 90's seem like a fun time!! Wish I could like all of your posts!!

Is there anybody here from Europe who has a story like this and wants to share it? I mean, were there lines to buy the albums here too? I only recall seeing reports from american tv on Youtube with those huge lines at the record stores...so how was it in Europe?

My 12 year old brother always sings 'Slash' instead of 'Flash' while listening to the Queen song. No wonder why

Axl not being at this interview matches up with the timing of Niven’s story about when Axl locked himself in his bedroom because he didn’t want to do the Aerosmith tour. Nobody could get an answer from him through his door, so Niven told Izzy to climb a tree outside Axls bedroom window, which he did - Niven says Izzy was hanging there in the tree trying to talk to him through the window - but Axl told him to fuck off! 

I don't think I've ever heard of this story  That's so funny!! I miss that band!

@purplestargirl I'm sorry for your loss

So I went by the venue just now. I could hear them doing soundcheck. There's already a small line at the gate; anyone want to take a guess who I saw at the very front of the line?

Oh I know, I know...AXL?? 
jk, it's Tako, right?

LOL. TB only cares for the AFD band members (well, part of them). Only fans are supposed to like all of the weird band formations. 

Well, maybe all of them. Wasn't Nandinho publicly looking for tickets for a Steven show some time ago?  Why? I don't know either! And to be honest: knowing of what happened in the past, all this hypocrisy makes me sick to my stomach 

This is weird...Do you think Axl stayed home alone eating Tacos or he followed his entourage to go see Slash with Myles?

Not saying he looked terrible as in a bad hair day or whatever. 

I'll have to say it: he definitely had a bad hair day on the Elton John induction in the RNRHOF though. But it's ok, Prince Axl, we all have them

Fucking hate that I detest animal cruelty

YES! I maddens me so much that I live in a country where it is considered a cultural product. Hell, it's even on TV on some summer evenings. Most of old people just love it, they consider it art and a huge part of portuguese culture and tradition (these are the arguments they use )...Fuckin psychosA few months ago the portuguese parliament rejected a proposal that wanted to abolish this shit forever, I still can't fuckin believe it. I'm always signing all kind of petitions to get it again to the parliament or at least to take it way from the public TV. Hopefully mentalities are changing and this cruelty will be over forever in a few years!!

All these interviews and always the same kind of answer about new music. I think it's obvious that Slash really wants to do it, but the thing is: Slash was never what prevented GNR to release new music. The ginger was/is. All of you who get your hopes up with these answers are fooling yourselves IMO. It has to be Axl wanting to do it and there's seriously no indication he does. And with Slash saying 'I think Axl would like to do it', it seems they never even discussed it

Looks Russian?? Hah

Is it really 10 years old? That type of architecture looks like old style, don't know.... Very pretty, nonetheless ... 

I know!! But it's from classic and arabic inspiration actually  

It actually has more than 100 years, but it was hugely rebuilt like 10 years ago and they kept the façade. It has always been a bullring (don't get me started on why we still have this stupid shit going on in Portugal, cause I will be very, very mad ), but with the works of 10 years ago they also made it available as a concert venue and there's more concerts happening there than bullfights. With the rebuilt new accesses were added and new facilities also - it has a shopping and a cinema and all  

I don't know about you, but I'm literally screaming

One must learn fluent Portuguese in order to participate in GNR social media comments and discussions.

You mean the comments on Axl's tweets? Trust me, you wouldn't want to go there

Not politics this time, it's an actor who passed away.

What the fuck is this?

Slash Has Reporter Sign Bizarre Contract For Interview

“There are people who are worried about our conversation. Before I can speak to Slash I have to sign a contract that says that if anything goes wrong – if some kind of shit hits the fan because of what I write – and GN’R lose money, then Classic Rock carries the can. This is no small thing when you’re dealing with the fourth biggest earning tour of all time.

There is paranoia around. The Not In This Lifetime tour took a lifetime to put together, and no one wants to be the one to fuck it up. You might not have noticed, but Guns N’ Roses haven’t really talked to anyone since they re-formed. They haven’t done an interview.”

Is this even real?  This fuckin band...This kind of shit has Axl and TB written all over it. Look at this level of paranoia - it's just a band, not national security

Me neither. 

This band just got boring, Izzy is being Izzy (=invisible) and nobody here wants to discuss winged eyeliner for hooded eyes with me.  What else could there possibly be left to talk about?

The amount of eyeliner Axl uses sometimes? His orange foundation? Maybe we could search the right foundation for his skin tone. Could be fun

Eww!!

What? If you want we can go back to the pubic hair talk

Yes.

 

Thank you  

 

Also, can we go deeper in these interviews and overanalyze the fact that Slash choose to say that he 'hooked up' with Axl in both the Rolling Stone and Forbes interviews?  

I'm not a native speaker and, as one of those things people call millennials, the only meaning I knew for this verb was to have sex with someone  So is this Slash confirming the Slaxl in a passive-aggressive way?
