I know this sounds crazy, but I swear I remember reading that the "take a step back" thing was actually recorded in the studio. I'll see if I can find the article.

is this serious? Like, on all ends? no disrespect, but I've never heard of anyone being a big WNBA fan. and workers can't look him in the eye. let's be honest, Super Bowl would have been good in 2004. not now. we are more likely to see Axl as the next star of "the Bachelor" than halftime of anything these days.

outstanding work!!!! how did you get so much footage of my wife driving thru school zones???? lol

he probably forgot to take his pre show shit and is now just realizing it.

seems like the recent releases have progressively more "hey"'s in the lyrics. what's the over/under on "Heys" in the General? I'm going with 317. and I'll take the over.

afd5 at this point would be for the hardcore fans. so If I were them I'd book a theater in Los Angeles, charge 2500 per ticket, no Pyro, minimal screens. then I'd have a profession camera company come in and do a paper view event for the hardcore fans all over the world. they could probably charge 100 or 200 bucks for that. one and done show. they'd be happy to make a ton of money (with minimal overhead) and the hardcore fans could be happy all over the world. No having to rely on Izzy or Adler to make it thru a whole tour. just one night. donating the proceeds to charity would be a very cool thing to do, but I don't see gnr doing that.

I'm cool with letting Ozzy be retired or whatever his current status is. that's his business and I'm happy if he's happy. but what pisses me off is how GNR is such an fan UNfriendly band. and I put Izzy at the absolute throne of that statement. Guy doesn't interact with fans on social media. Ducks autograph requests. Has any fan even taken a photo with the guy in the last 25 years??? Does anyone remember that Izzy film one of the forum members created a year or two and tried to get it to Izzy? No luck there. Or how about that fan petition. asking Izzy to play a set (even online)? Izzy didn't even acknowledge it. I find it hard to believe he didn't know about either considering I accidentally stumbled upon both while sitting on the toilet and he had multiple people reaching out to him. He doesn't want to be bothered, then fine. But he needs to keep in mind that royalty money is still coming in because of GNR fans. Would be nice to get some kind of occasional acknowledgement once in a while.

wow. what's the email about Duff rejoining GNR in 2009? anyone have any idea?

22 minute jam before paradise city

let me guess, this "devloper" is Slash, Duff, Richard, Frank and Dizzy? trying to finally get an album out??? lol I'm kidding

I'd be surprised if Axl went on JRE just for fun (ie not promoting anything). he went on Kimmel to promote the Vegas residency and was stiff as a board. if I recall correctly that Vegas residency wasn't selling well. maybe he will go on before the next boxset gets released. but my guess is he will never go on.

mark my words, if Axl does the JRE we will finally hear what we all suspected. Izzy is an alien. And a UFOs stole CD2 and CD3

I agree as well. but when you look at other singers Slash has performed with, he's usually not that interactive when they come over to him (Myles, Scott). So I don't think it's anything anything against Axl necessarily, Slash is just doing his thing. Slash is more of an introvert so I don't think we will get much more out of him on stage with or without Axl. Sober, anyway.

really? I had never heard this? how do you know? I'm guessing Slash never reached out to Axl about it...

agreed. and don't forget about bands getting absolutely zero percent of the knock off merch sales outside the stadium. and if that rumor about getting the booze sales is true, then that's probably why they play some many CD songs in their sets. lol. I swear every show I've been to, as soonas a cd song would come on people would race to the concessions stands.

it's just going to be GNR touring then Slash and Duff tour with their bands. Repeat. so many missed business opportunities for GNR. no new songs. no releasing the uyi tour videos on netflix or even on nightrain (where members can pay a monthly subscription fee for unreleased shows, songs, videos of Axls cats, etc) . No writing one new tune with the AFD5 with proceeds going to charity. No Paul Huge interview on Eddie Trunk. just more touring and more mickey. Maybe Axl makes a new celebrity friend and we will have the Will Smith join GNR on stage for paradise city, which then will follow with GNR covering "gettin jiggy with it" for the next 7 legs of the tour. if we are lucky Dizzy leaves his basement unlocked and a cleaning lady releases the 417 CDs he's got of unreleased music.

regarding the bands PR, I've got to wonder how their "approach" effects employee (specifically Slash and Duffs) morale. I would have to imagine that working for a company where they make you keep quiet must make one feel pretty crappy about themselves- as in founding members arent trusted/ respected/ valued enough to answer questions from GNRs fanbase directly. Especially when Slash is his own brand and could certainly use GNRs platform to promote his own stuff. idk, maybe I'm too sensitive but I've just never liked working for an employer where I was mandated on what I can and can't say. but then again I've never gotten one of their paychecks either.

Duffs news is that he re-recorded Tenderness and Frank will be the centerfold in the album liner for those who get the physical copy. parking my car in front of best buy right now. the wait begins!!!

I always thought Axl could do a good job on "Dirty little thing", but maybe it's kind of like Perfect crime where it's too many words and he'd be out of breath so it mighy be too hard to sing live. always wondered what Axl would sound like on Anastasia... but it's also cool if I never hear it.

you are 100% correct. as recently as October 2021 slash said they have NOT written anything new and were just reworking some of Axls old songs. this was after Absurd and Hardschool came out. and we haven't heard any (new) reworked songs come out since this interview, so why would they dump those and all of a sudden release music that they wrote in 2022/23? we are getting CD leftovers for the foreseeable future. here's a link if anyone needs it. like it or not 2020 intentions is more than likely correct. https://www.nme.com/news/music/slash-says-guns-n-roses-havent-written-any-new-music-since-reunion-3078295

Hellrose Place. let's see. it can't be anything music related bc, well Axl doesn't release.that kind of stuff. I'm guessing it's a traveling haunted house. filled with hot chicks. who are super annoying and bitchy. the scary part is that doors stay locked and you can't get out until GNR releases a new album....... YOURE GONNA DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE! LOL

Do we know if Axl offered the gig instead of Richard? bc it would just look silly having dj, Richard, Slash and possibly Izzy (at times) up on stage. I wouldn't do a 3 guitar thing either- that would truly justify that Slash and Duff joined nu-guns rather than a rejoining a band they both helped found.

Axl recorded a song with Steven Tyler??????

I always took it as a message to others about his own career and a high level view of why he did (or didn't do) certain things in his career.

steal Chad for GNR. and have Will Ferrell sit in on drums for RHCP on nights Chad can't make a RHCP show due to gnr obligations. noone will be able to tell the difference. lol
