Matt sorum, gilby and izzy have aged the best.

Matt looks younger than his 30s

They would be kinda like Ac/dc maybe? Axl wanted to do movie soundtracks, so I think gnr songs would have a lot of apperances in Action or Superhero movies. I don't think they would've released any mediocore albums, because afd5 always sort of clicked. On the bad side, the constant pressure could've taken a toll on their physical and mental state.

Was there ever a thread here , what would have happened , you think, if the original 5 had not met?

We wouldn't have this forum, Axl would've keep singing Prowler and become fade up before 90s

axl has been pretty fucked up (booze + drugs) since around 2011 with the exception of his time with acdc 

I heard that he had bronchitis/throat surgery around 2011? One disastrous performance and off form for some years doesn't mean he is drowning in booze+drugs. Bcz he had many chances to do that but he didnt.

Gnr related opinion: I don't like Myles Kennedy's voice on gnr songs. He sounds awesome in many other songs, and some parts of gnr songs, but when he hit the high notes, I cringe (ycbm, last part of scom/pc etc). He also lacks the rage, obviously.

Otherwise, he/Alter bridge is really underrated. I love Blackbird, their new album is amazing too.

1 album of original material in 29 years. That is what Axl, the artist, has chose to share with the world/managed to release. 15 tunes in all that time kinda make him less of an artist to me.

Especially with how much he accomplished with Gn'R when Slash, Duff, and Izzy were around and in such a short period of time. I have to think some things have drastically changed that crippled him as an active musician. Whatever it is, it took out of the equation the most important thing which is to release music more than once in almost 3 decades.

A lot happened actually. He probably took some medications, he lost his musical muse and many more things. Most of the ChiDem material was produced before/around 2000. After 40, he lost passion for constant creation I guess. He's also a control freak, so he doesn't wanna release any mediocore song(in his sense). That doesn't make him less of an artist to me.

axl seriously needs to get rid of the medication pills and get healthy again. he looks worse than 1977 elvis

Elvis was 42, Axl is 58. And telling somebody to get rid of the medication pill is really unsympathetic. He owes us a lot, I know, but we shouldn't talk about him like that.

As cool as it would be to hear some more deep cuts, I doubt certain songs will ever be played again, because of the lyrics.

Pretty Tied Up - "...time went by and it became a joke"

Bad Obsession - "I call my mother, she's just a cunt now..."

and the obvious stuff like One In A Million, Back Off Bitch, and the 'Izzy songs' (14 Years, Dust N' Bones).

 

Would love to hear them bring back You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, or The Garden though.

They play it's so easy every night, which is in the same league as pretty tied up. They almost never played bob album version, which is really unfortunate. yatf, yc or garden would be awesome, like skins or bones tour.

Unpopular opinions about Axl, money and the GNR brand. Sorry for the long post, at work so willing to take any distraction.

• I think the idea that Axl only cares about money is wrong, and I'm actually unsure if he cares about it to a great extent at all. I wasn't alive at the time, but from what you all say, it seems that Axl was one of the biggest stars ever in his prime. Despite that, when I first started listening to GNR in 2016(SCOM cause it was on my ipod), I thought Axl Rose was Steven Tyler. Even as a fan who now keeps up on all the things GNR does, Axl never seems to appear off the stage, so I'm sure you can understand why I had no idea who he was. If you think about other stars of Axl's scale; Kanye West, Taylor Swift(who has far more corporate and anti-consumer ticket selling practices then GNR have ever had or will), Rihanna. They all have incredibly valuable and profitable brands that extend far beyond their music(fashion, makeup products, etc.). Even looking at the Kardashians, who don't have any particular talent, one can see the value to be made in just sponsorship, ads etc. A lot of people don't folllow them, but they still know who they are. Axl Rose as a person is non-existent beyond the three hours he goes on stage. He doesn't do interviews, never does talk shows, has done one commercial ad(Budweiser), which is probably why I didn't know who he was. Axl as a brand doesn't exist, and he does absolutely nothing to make money of his own brand which could be incredibly valuable. If he actually cared about money, he exist from a brand perspective beyond the 3 hours he'd performs a night.
• I also think the consensus on here that Axl decides(or is even aware of for that matter) the products that the GNR brand goes on is far fetched. Seems a bit ridiculous to me that people on here think Axl is consulted personally every time they want to put a GNR logo on a jigsaw, Christmas ornament or a pair of socks. I presume they have a merchandise manager that makes all choices in that regards

In regards to the GNR brand and TB running of it, I kind of get confused. I don't think it's as clear cut as some people on here say it is, and I think we'd actually be happier as fans if the goal was money. It's clear that it's being run as a corporation, and I think that whole GNR Santa ad was pathetic. There obviously trying to make money off these, but I'd love to know how much they actually make, very little, relatively speaking. If they only cared about money, there's much better ways to go about making it(maybe they are actually so bad as managers that they can't do that). Some potential ways:

• Perfect Crime: A Netflix Special.  Think about how much money GNR would make if they sold the footage of the UYI tour to Netflix, and had it released as a 10 episode tv series. If it's good and dramatic enough(which I think/hope it would be) it would make them one of the most talked topics globally(remember how Stephen Avery, Ted Bundy and other topics were talked about after Netflix Specials). 
• Could sell a load of classic shows on Netflix or Blue Ray. Bear in mind, the Ritz 1988 is a bootleg, and has never actually been sold. Surely if it was about money they'd sell that right away
• A movie similar to The Dirt(the Motely Crue one). I wasn't able to find out how much money that made, but a lot more then Christmas decorations

I guess I'm just confused about TB being only about money, while most people seem to take it as fact. Based on their commercialization of GNR, they seem to be. But there's so many better ways for them to make money(while also keeping fans happier) that they could pursue but haven't done(and probably never will). If it was only about money I think we'd see a lot more content.

A 10 episode netflix special with bootlegs? Holy crap that would be beyond amazing!! And Axl doesn't care about money or fame that much, that's for sure. He doesn't like attention. Otherwise he could easily brandises himself as Ozzie.

I've been heavily into the Pearl Jam community the past couple of years. Lucky for me, as soon as I got into that band they stopped touring as often as they used too haha.. not. 

Anyway, rarely do my Pearl Jam and Guns N' Roses worlds cross over (besides the fact that Dave Abruzzese could have been in GNR... no seriously look it up) but when they do its always interesting. 

According to a massive PJ insider, Pearl Jam was actually supposed to headline GNR's spot at Pinkpop, the Netherlands biggest music festival, but within the last couple of weeks, probably while GNR were finalizing their schedule, Pearl Jam were removed and Guns N' Roses were guaranteed the spot. How did Pearl Jam react? They added a show at the end of the tour in Amsterdam. That one sold out, so they added a second one. THAT one sold out. 

My point in saying all of this: How and WHY did Pinkpop tell Pearl Jam, a band with so much Pinkpop history (92, 00, 18) , guaranteed fanbase/ticket sales, and an impending album on the way that they weren't going to headline and give the gig to GNR? 

Easy. 

GNR and their management have something to sell. When you're dealing with talent-buying and festival management, you don't just pull the plug on a plan unless there is a better one in place.

Axl, Slash, Duff on the same recording for the first time since 1991.

A new album. 

"the next f'n chapter starts now" 

This is what sold that show to those promoters. And by god, this, hard school on the setlist, and Fernandos most likely intoxicated comments when he found out what Reddit was (welcome to 2019) are the only fucking shards of hope that i'm holding on to. 

That's awesome! i've become a PJ fan recently too. Their pinkpop 92 concert is one hell of a performance. They were really passionate. Also, Eddie's stage dive 😍 GNR better provide sonething great.

On another note, Eddie and Axl has kinda similar background with real dad/step dad situation. Axl's dads were total assholes though. PJ's alive trilogy about this topic is a grunge masterpiece.

Hi, kinda offtopic, I heard there's some thunderstorm story that was told by Gilby Clarke, posdibly in Miami 1992 or Philadelphia 1992 (I could be wrong though). Can anybody tell me what the story is?

The music videos for You could be mine are removed. Only one 8 year old video is remaining and all the comments are from the last 7 days 😂. Are they finally uploading the official one on vevo?

I was talking about sweet child o mine performance (not the super bowl), beautiful dangerous is ok. But anyway, can't tolerate Fergie, she overly sexualalized everything.

Axl is the one who really don’t give a fuck about anything. Slash is at least active. He doesn’t write as good things as 30 years ago but at least he is doing something unlike Axl.

Axl is a perfectionist and there are a lot of stuff going on. But giving us no new materials for a decade is unforgivable.

Atleast he didn't let Fergie to use him as a stripper pole

This dude is so lame. He missed the badass 'child' outro. 

Also, at the 'paradise city' reaction video, he said at one point, "this looks like they're singing live but it's a studio recording." Dude! It's a music video! Of course they dub over the original performance. And what kind of a rock vocal coach doesn't know a Queen song

And no sideburn 

I read somewhere that he was sick in the late 90s. Maybe that's why all the facial hair ( brow, sideburn) fell off, due to some side effect? He looks healthy and normal in 2006.

Thisvis GnR Womens Discuss. Sorry for changing to another subject. Tegarding Perla.No Perla jokes here. Always, these guys, all of them in all bands, are never as good as fans think and their ladies are never as bad either.  Go look at her Instagram . She has rashes, reactions  to implants she got years ago which are now implants on recall. Obviously, these are making her sick. She is going to get them taken out. Now here is where her story gets crazy. She had her breast tissues removed and implants inserted. What da fukc? Hey, a multimillionarie Beverly Hills woman. Plastic surgery capital so of course. Omg. She is , was a natural DD. Ok, gravity, 2 kids, all she needed a few years ago was a breast lift. She had crazy, invasive plastic surgery. So now, no breast tissues? What? She will have to have implants,  ones not on recall list, inserted...I guess. She is really candid in her Instagram. Best to her, but Omg. What trouble.  Susan, obviously has implants which is no big deal, not a bad thing, but hopefully she did not have her breast tissues removed. Hopefully her implants are not on recall. While at, Meegan looks like she got face  work done. It looks good. Smooth. Subtle. Good for her.

That is horrible! Damn!
