We literally just got the new Duff album, so I think we can wait a few more months for new material. And if we do get Atlas in november we can probably wait even longer. Jesus, I haven't seen such entitled people in all my life.

There’s nothing innocent about Team Brazil. They clearly hate the fans and that includes me and you. They agreed to become the band’s managers when they have absolutely no business doing so. They accepted the job, now they can deal with the fallout when every single thing this band does when it comes to releasing music gets delayed or completely falls apart. 

If they didn’t want the heat, they should have stayed in the background. It’s that simple. 

What are you talking about? Name one other band who has a manager who takes the time to go to reddit and respond to fans who give him nothing but hate in return. Imagine how busy management are, they don't have to do any of that for us but they do it anyway because they care. We just got a huge boxset with 63 unreleased songs and you're getting upset over 1 b-side being delayed?

Actually, give Billionaire another listen, it has the same orchestra as The General...

The General = Dub Suplex 

No, I think it might be State Of Grace

The band don't owe you anything. You should all be grateful they gave us a month and a half of excitement, and this is how you respond? No wonder they hate you all.

Oh also the obligatory post to say it's just a b-side throwaway, I feel shocked and betrayed that it wasn't released on spotify despite the fact that GNR appeared in search results when I kept typing in random song titles, what if it doesn't have vocals, I think it might be State Of Grace/Billionaire/Prom Violence/Shankler's Revenge, and what if the cellphone recording was actually Soul Monster. I will save time and just say now that Slash's version sounds worse than the original that I haven't heard, but I will also speculate what if the original CD version is actually on the vinyl. Also my friend's cousin's neighbour has their copy of the vinyl already because they have a friend who's uncle works at Universal and they said it sounds epic. I also asked chatgpt and it said that The General was released last week and is a heavy metal song similar to Patience, and is a war themed song with lyrics inspired by the invasion of Ukraine. I'm very worried this song will never be released despite the fact we have already pre-ordered our copies.

If you're going to copy and paste the copyright text from Chinese Democracy, at least change the catalog number. Come on, man.

Now do us a favour and just post the original digital version of the front cover you made, it's actually pretty cool.

Hey @Fernando, simple yes or no question. Is there a new album coming, as opposed to Absurd just being a one-off standalone single? I want to know if I should care about what this band is doing at the moment.

I came back just to say fuck Team Brazil. But what more can we expect from a "manager" who amuses himself during quarantine by trolling fans on reddit?

The show is great, @Gambit83, never stop doing what you're doing.

Fuck this band

Wow. This is a new low.

When I first heard about this I honestly thought it was some dumb joke article ffs.

The fans have been waiting for new music for over a decade now, and when they finally do release something, it's a fucking children's book.

I can't wait to read the story where Mr. Brownstone sells Michelle all the heroin.

I think only a couple of years left then it will just get ridiculous hearing Axl try to sing the majority of his catalogue. 

You say that as if it isn't already.

And that's what this really all boils down to. If you listen to his podcast, you see that he really doesn't think much of the GN'R fan base. I can't see the guy being in any sort of hurry to engage with GN'R fans again. 

I can't say I blame him.

So no new album then? Del can suck my ass.

The way this tour has been continuing forever it really wouldn't surprise me if the whole band came on stage sneezing and coughing and Axl just screeched every song barely being able to sing. 

lol he does that already. Could it really get worse?

Fernando made another appearance on Reddit yesterday. A user on there really let him have it regarding all this album talk + more. And of course, his short, cunt responses didn't address a single thing. 

Fixed that typo for ya

I've come to grips with it. It's a nostalgia act. Kudos to the guys for milking it this long. I'm never gonna fault an artist for taking advantage of dumb people. They've milked this cash cow excessively long with no end in sight. Remarkable business management. 

No offence to anyone who goes to the shows, but that is exactly what the majority of NITL has been. That, and people telling themselves "yeah, but they might be better at my show".

If you're going to charge large amounts for tickets and continue pushing the NITL tour, at least keep you instrument and skills healthy out of respect for both yourself, bandmates and fans.

Exactly. They've shown time and time again that they just don't give a shit, just as long as the money keeps coming in.

Why can't the band just sound good? Anyway, people should just pretend to like it or else they're, like, creating such a toxic environment, y'know?

Equally tired is all the bitching about setlist, weight, hair, etc. Nobody is forcing anyone to go, or even pay attention. So many people complain and say ‘I’m done with this shit’, only to be back next show with the same tired complaints

I stopped giving a shit about this band a long time ago. I'm still here for the same reasons people would slow down to look at a car crash.

With all due respect, coming from a guy who travels to the UK often for work and has many friends there, why do people like you feel the need to attack/trash/insult an entire country?  Yet, here you are, on a forum for a band from the USA (a rather drab band at this point, mind you), insulting all Americans.  I can confidently say you don't speak for all Brits, as the ones I know have a lot more common sense to not blindly throw insults like this around.  But I digress. 

I, too, find these tributes to Kobe quite tacky.  All low-flying aircraft that day were grounded in LA due to the weather.  Someone made a foolish and selfish decision to fly... probably Kobe himself... and it cost him and 8 others their lives.   It's a tragedy, but tragedy's happen every day to common people all over the world, including 'classless' Americans, as you've so dubbed all of us.  They're all a shame, but tributes to the uber-privileged are just so tiresome.  We can agree there. 

That aside, did you ever consider that Axl lives in LA and is a HUGE Lakers fan?  As is others in the band?  Kobe was known to be quite the stubborn arse, just like Axl, so they, I'm sure, connected on that level in a way we couldn't possibly understand.  If I could offer a bit of advice, if they want to pay a tribute to somebody they admired, whether you or I think it's tacky or not, let them do it and try not attack an entire populus of people from another country... on a forum for a band from that country.  

Does anybody on here ever attack Brits for their obsession with a defunct monarchy?   Can I insult you because all that's all over the papers and news channels in your country is all about Harry and Meghan?  Two people that have absolutely no bearing on any of our lives.  Is it tacky when your country pays tribute to Princess Dianna at every turn, to this day?  Can we Americans call all Brits lifeless fools for the constant obsession over the royal family... the most uber-privileged group of people in the world that your hard earned money supports via taxation? 

Will you be upset when Elizabeth kicks the bucket?  Will you be okay with the 'tacky' tributes to her when the time comes?  

This is my first post ever on this forum, and probably the last (I like GNR and like to see photos and videos from their concerts... this forum seems to be a good place to find that stuff), but I just had to chime in when I read this comment.  It's incredibly insulting coming from someone in a country where it's people do the same types of things, and practically adore anything American.   A quick look at the 20 most popular websites visited by people in Britan in 2019 based on user traffic (https://www.lexiconnect.co.uk/top-20-uk-websites.html) finds that just about all of them have their home or origins in America (Google, Youtube, Facebook, etc.).  #16 on that list?  Pornhub.  That's classy.  American too!

So, what's really tacky here is someone from across the pond who feels the need to attack/insult an entire nation because he doesn't like some tribute to some American sports hero at some American band's concert, in America, on a forum for said American rock band.  

As if his people never put their celebrities up on a pedestal as if they're some kind of Queen or King or Prince or something.   How silly would that be in the 21st century?

Pot, meet kettle.  

 

Ok.

My main takeaway from this post is this guy is proud of Pornhub being a 'Murican site.
