    They'll be fine so long as people can sing "Whoa, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine."

    As others have pointed out, this band has found numerous ways to trip over itself. 

    But it can always bank on its hits to get it through.  

    The only thing 80-90 percent of casual Guns fans want at this point is a trip down nostalgia lane. 

    Save for any revelations of Axl or Slash being the Harvey Weinstein of rock n' roll, nothing is going to derail their general popularity.  

    Moreover, why should anyone care at this point.  Personally, I've gotten everything I've wanted out this band, save for a new album written by Axl, Slash, Duff and ideally Izzy (which is almost certainly never going to happen).

    Everyone here would be better off not worrying about the reputation of a band that hasn't done a lot to help itself.  

    There are far more important things that warrant your attention and concern. 

    Spend your time enjoying the good things about the band and music; spend less over things that don't really matter.

    ⬆️ Exactly this. Very well articulated fella  👏👏👏

  2. My favourite show was the first time I saw them which was at Newcastle City Hall on Oct 4. 1987. Went with friends from school and I knew I was seeing something special. Faster Pussycat were great as openers (and a few mates reckoned they were better than GNR). We managed to meet them afterwards for autographs and a quick chat….I’ll never forget  that night 🤘🤘🤘

    (yes I’m old haha)

    …. But since I care so much about seeing GNR and never wanna miss a show, I didn’t wanna risk it. 

    …..But I get my money’s worth at the live shows. It sounds privileged to say I don’t care what it costs … Nothing lasts forever. The band won’t tour in perpetuity. They have been the soundtrack of my life since I was 10 years old. I am gonna see them every chance I get, and I proudly wear my GNR-related stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever have this type of connection with any band ever again. 

    This ❤️
