Back off Biches

I admire that he wears funky hats and his fashion of the last 10 years or so

His former band mates are saying happy bday cause they know they were kinda dicks to him NITL

Think it was an act

She's the best

Well then hired hands should know when to bow down

It's the fourth highest grossing tour of all time, the band seems to be having fun and the vast majority attending shows are enjoying themselves. It's been a success and the general attitude towards GNR is positive for once. The vast majority don't care who the drummer is and aren't bored with the setlist because they're not watching every show through Periscope.

As for Izzy, it's not "talking shit" about him to suggest there are reasons he's not there that could be his own fault, his own choosing or at the very least not a simple "because Axl screwed him" scenario. I like Izzy. I'd prefer he be there but it's not a deal breaker for me. I can see why Izzy would be hesitant to sign up for 2 years of touring and I can see why they'd be hesitant to believe they could depend on Izzy for 2 years of touring. 

I can also see how they low balled him to guest rather than be full time which by all accounts he was ready and capable for and probably offered to even write new material 

But the machine behind the mad man and the two sell outs destroyed the band

Yes, I know, nobody can drum but Steven Adler. And it doesn't matter if he's a risk who could have derailed the entire reunion, if he's who you want there that's what they should have given you. 

Maybe there are some die hard fans who actually enjoyed the shows? Or are just happy to have what we have, considering what we didn't have the last 20 years? "Die hard" and "true fans" aren't decided by a criteria decided by you. 

Nor u on your nitl high horse buddy - opinions and loyalty towards  the classic lineup are more prevalent than what you would try and not admit - many die hards actually did not attend bc of the waywardness of the brand and current band alike 

CD is so bad that even slash pretends to like it

It's all slashs fault - he literally had the power to bring izzy in and didn't - also VR would've been 100 times better with izzy as singer and them 4 the douche

"Low ball" offer because they already paid him when he sold his percentage of the band. I get wanting him there but it's not their fault he wanted to sell his percentage in the band and then years later be paid like he didn't.

Oh no not at all it's not like he wasn't pushed into that situation at all to sell off! Reducing his role bc he didn't turn into madonna for a bit

axls story in this drama is the worst one alienating all then half accepting his failure and responsibility to bring the band back with integrity

Axl's vision?

What is that?

I am looking from a big distance but as far as I can see the guy seems to be like... blind!

That's correct

its as though his abstract vision could never come to fruition bc he stuck in his head while  making power plays every step of way

Izzy's insistence on getting money for selling something and getting money for owning it at the same time is why he's out. It's as simple as that. 

Sure just bc u said it- low ball central session member offer more likely bud
