Listened again, gorgeous voice...are you a pro singer?  

Really beautiful...

KKamala Harris has

- Supported LGBT rights

- created an Environment unit to presecute environmental crime

- reduced three strikes to violent crimes only (I think it should be scrapped)

- worked at reduciing gun violence by giving longer sentences when guns are involved (contentious for Americans I know but as a Brit with a fear of guns this pleases me)

- worked at reducing internet sex crrimes, especially when minors involved

- tried to prosecute a police chief for cover up but ruled not enough evidence (for those who think she is pro police whatever they do)

- wants to reform the health service

downside is her stance on soft drugs (my opinion anyway)

Of course one could find stuff that would make for a negative opinion but I, in the UK, dont know enough about her but am well pleased with above

I thought liking a band and their music was supposed to be a pleasant experience but what I have learnt here is it can be pretty dark and complex, I dont understand why, I dont understand the secrecy and disdain of fans, although I can imagine some fans can be a pain in the ass and worse and maybe this colours the attitude.  It is hard to understand as their lives are so very different from most of us, it would be like trying to understand a human from the past or the future or a creature with five legs...and so on. 

So sorry for your loss Snooze...

If you know who it is has anybody tried communicating with him (without being aggresive)?  All very odd...

Gosh loads of posts on Youtube due to axl's post...to have such power wow

He did say in his post of a few weeks ago, it did not matter whether Democrat or Republican he would call them out if he thought they wrong.

Amazing and informative work!  Thankyou.

I was reading the thread when something was deleted?

When Axl is ready to release some music he will.  I think the grief he gets from fans just fuels the pressure and causes frustration all round.  Just a throught.

Due to coravinus spikes all over the place and maybe a surge in winter it is looking likely that there will be no concerts in 2021 either (hope I am wrong).

Fernando gets a raw deal and seems to get the blame for everything.  Alan Niven, after steering the band to 'the greatest rock band in the world'; sacked, Doug Goldstein who gave his everthing; sacked and then the rest of them.  Sounds as though it may be a precarious role within the music machine.  Also it can be more difficult when blending a family with the company, balancing family relationships with the great demands of work.   Just a thought.

This is so well written I wanna read it over and over.

Awww shucks...thanks.  I shall look up your posts and bask in your literary skills

Actually I wish I had not wrote that as I have no idea why Axl has trademarked  and my spur  the moment specualation is not something I normally indulge  in.

Obviously a panic move to make some more dosh due to  cancelled shows.  Or maybe retirement is on the cards so building up cash streams to pay the bills...

One trademarks ones own name simply to stop anybody else using it...

100% true for me. I remember back when the NITL Tour started, I thought we'd at least get one single out of the deal. I went to 3 shows and truly enjoyed myself, but I was hoping that forward progression would occur after they lapped the world. As soon as they started lining up a ton more dates with zero communication about the future, I started to get a sinking feeling. Once I came to the realization that this whole thing was a soulless cash grab, I was just so bummed. 

That's another big thing for me. All the big talk Slash & Duff put out ultimately meant nothing because now they just submit to Axl's way of doing things, sleep walk through shows, cash a check and move on. 

It really is. I know you're a newer fan but just imagine having watched this all develop from the very beginning. 

If you could go back in time to catch up with me walking into the shows I went to in 91, 92 and 93, you would NEVER have got me to believe that GN'R would end this way. 

I know, I do think about how most people here have been following GNR from the beginning and the disappointment and frustration you must have felt along the way.  Also still waiting for that last drop or two...hopefully. 

Why are wealthy folk never content with what they have...its almost obscene and cannot make one happy, this constant scrapping around for another million.  One day homo sapiens will change and the world will become a fairer, equitable and kinder place, one can dream.

How utterly bizare...and someone tried to have Axl shot!  Sounds like a rehearsal for some comedy farce 

Very difficult times, must have been quite difficult to rearrange with all the other groups doing the same thing....but I really feel for the countries that have been cancelled.

By coincedence I am just watching a doc on Lenny Kravitz and exactly the same thing is happening, obviously the norm in the life of a rock star

I’ve actually witnessed that first hand. At an after show party here in Brisbane, Australia, when DJ Ashba was taking a couple of girls from the party down a hall way and Andrei yelled at Ashba and screamed that it was his job to take the girls down to Axl. I found it quite disturbing in a predatory way with these girls being like less than half Axl’s age. I can’t say I know what happens when they go down the hall way to meet him, but the whole thing reminded me of a certain infamous individual who is now dead and his ‘wingman’ or ‘wingwoman’ who has finally been caught to answer some charges too. 
 

Tawdry...and disturbing or maybe I am being naive

I am sorry FransNRoses that you were spoken to it that way...very depressing
