For all the talk of aging, Duff actually looks better today than in the 90s.

Same for Sorum and Adler.

For Guns (Axl really) to suddenly become a fan friendly band (a la Pearl Jam/Metallcia) would be to change the habit of a lifetime. No point in moaning about it now considering we lived through the chaotic 2001 - 2008 era, with its  lengthy sabbaticals and frequent album delays, hissy fits, riots, and lawsuits.

Imagine Axl would have broke with Beta or Beta would have convinced Axl to work with Doug Goldstein again back then...

In all honesty, I've given up on ever hearing new GN'R tracks. I just don't think it's ever gonna happen, so I stopped getting mad about it. Too much other great music coming out by other great artists to worry about getting new material from a band that just doesn't seem to want to produce any.

The biggest problem about GnR is: they don't even release old material. Only 1 official live DVD is ridiculous for a band like GnR. 

And yes, there won't be new tracks obviously. Axl/DC is the only chance for that. 

If they would only do a real reunion with even Matt and Gilby. I would be fine with that. But this scenario right now sucks.  

But I'm not enthusiastic about GnR anymore since the Chinese Democracy release or even before. They had their reunion chance back then...GnR is done after this tour. Mark my words.

Axl looks like a crazy F'ing grandma wearing those kind of hats. Should wear something like what Duff does or nothing at all. 

He should always wear this cap nowadays.

Until in the middle of 90's I thought that every time he'd step off the stage it was to snorting cocaine. 

He was just snorting fresh air from a bottle.

If Axl is such a musical genius then it is the craziest thing in the world that he has released so little music in his 55 years on this planet. It's absurd.

Axl was a genius between 86-91. And he had the perfect musicians around him. Since 91 he is just milking the concert cow. Using the GNR brand was a curse for any new music ambitions. You simply can't top AFD and UYI with different musicians. If he would have released Snakepit and VR stuff with the old members I would have been totally fine though. 

But all we got was Shacklers Prostitute Silkworms.

Poor rich Duff lost in Zurich!

 

All the Bullshit he and Slash bought their wives...but the tour designer is horrible, too. 

Great times, when Axl wore these white short leggings <3

I hope that Chris Slade will play one or two songs with the band. Rosie or Riff Raff for example.

Only in world where Adler and Sorum are touring with GnR on full term.

Super expensive for a poster... So it's 60 Euro in EU-countries? It should cost 10 to maximum 20 Euros.

Guns N' Roses, since Rose took over, have always done things seemingly antithetical to logic and altruism.

The most horrible thing about this fact is that Slash and Duff have joined this scientology politics... 

Let me tell you something, brother...GnR don't care about you. And Gn'R will never do unless you are supermodel or current pop starlet. Then they will fuck you and even give you a personal tour jacket. 

GnR has the worst fan service of all rock bands. 

You wanna hear this and that with Axl? Axl's answer: The Seeker.

First message here! Sorry if my english is weak. 

I think, if band somehow would play any VR song, it should be "Sucker Train Blues" instead of Slither. STB is very GNR-style song, and it would be great to hear Axl singing it. I like Weiland, but I think Axl would nailed it. But not gonna happen.. 

Shut up. You get Seeker, BHS and a horrible version of KOHD instead. 

To all the hater-haters: The problem with GnR is that the set the bar unreachable high between 86-93. They were the best live rock band with Queen back then. 

Gilby and Matt did a great job on tour. People were fine with them. Their sound was perfect. 

It's hard to accept that Axl's voice isn't as good as in the past. But it's simply not acceptable that you have a drummer who simply don't understand the GNR vibe. And Fortus is also a guy who don't get the specific vibe. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against 4tus and Frank, but they don't reach the perfect GnR sound from their golden era. 

If Izzy and Steven or Matt and Gilby could reach that now? I don't know. But it's simply a fact that GnR sounded different on this tour with Steven on drums. They sounded more real, authentic. 

I will not support this NuGnR X.0 version.

They're definitely getting more comfortable with the song. I'm still not a fan of their version or the choice of song for them, but damn I respect them for paying tribute to Chris Cornell  at every show. 

But it makes no sense...sure, soundgarden was a gnr opener and Chris was cool with Slash and Duff. But Chris also said that he actually never meet Axl and had no relationship with him at all.

Really love Axl's clean vocals with BHS.

BHS has always been a bit annoying, but with Axl's double voice, it's even more annoying. 

Only if you are a so called 'supermodel' or current pop star.  Then they even give you a personal GnR jacket. 

ZSure, it is a GNR show, but half of the audience also know VR and Slash stuff. And since Slash is playing Axl's solo stuff, it would be fair by Axl to play some Slash/VR stuff. Almost every Slash song was actually written for Axl. I'm pretty sure people would like to hear Axl on Slash stuff. Seeker and BHS are very weak covers.

It just annoys me that they play all the time the same . . . I do not mean hits because it is normal that they have to be, but there are songs that you can simply go ahead and replaced every concert . . .

It won't change. Nothing will change, cause the people are buying these tickets. 

Fact is: Axl is not as good as he was and he never will be as epic as he was. Duff and Slash are solid. The problem with them: the songs are being played too fast / NuGnR like. 

And here's the main problem. I think most of the critics here and outside the forum would be ok with Axl's Mickey voice if we could get the rest of real GnR. Izzy/Steven/Gilby/Matt. Cause it's the real deal. What we have now is still NuGnR with Duff and Slash.

What happened to this thread? On page 10 he was sounding great by page 13 atrocious apparently. 

People will loose interest after 5 shows. So what.
