In 2009-2010 Axl punched a paparazzi, delayed shows for over two hours, attacked a MYGNR moderator in an extremely profane rant, released a "fuck TMZ" press release, got pissed off at the V8 Supercars show for daring to release a possibly fake quote saying he would have a blast at the show (LOL), cancelled the tour on Twitter, refused to leave the stage at Reading, walked off stage in Dublin, ect. My theory is the leeches became afraid Axl was going to bring the whole thing down and insisted he start taking medication.

He certainly had a busy year!  What happened with Reading and TMZ?

I would suggest that Axl doesn't just get over things or give up, otherwise the NITL would've been a lot shorter, money or not (if you think otherwise, think about how long it took Axl to "forgive" Slash, the NITL tour and possible succeeding albums would've made huuuuuuge amounts of money in 2006-10, with everyone still in their prime). 

 

I just think the guy is near 60. It's hard to be the same Axl anymore. Izzy might be the only guy who hasn't changed that much, from 1991 on he's probably been close to the same guy. Also is your name in reference to Durham, NC? Cool place if it is

 

Yes it is

Being new to the band I am watching videos from back in the day and am really taken aback at the 'two Axls'', back then and now.  When did this happen and why?

I know people want "new music" but it's best right now, as well, to appreciate still being able to see bands "live." Just think, 10 years from now, most of the actual "good" rock bands will no longer exist, because most members will have died by that point. Think about it...the majority of members in bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, The Who, ZZ Topp, Rolling Stones, etc...will no longer be on this Earth.

Sad to say, but at that point, you'll be seeing "Nostalgia" tours from piss poor bands like Fall Out Boy for example...and that's about as good as it will get in the rock world...God have mercy on us.

Excelllent points

The radio station I listen to in the UK  plays GnR all the time along with Billy Elish etc, I think there is a market for new GnR music, I have no doubt.  So pleeeeease axl release some music!!

Only one answer matters.  Did the attendees at the show have fun?

Yes, singing all the way through it...

So the show was streamed?

Not officially.

Watched last nights show, Axl's vocals were just amazing all the way through and of course Slash was his normal brilliant self.  No new music unfortunately, but Duff sang So Fine.  Its all getting better, lots to be positive about.

No it wasnt streamed I watching with someone on facebook...

I watched them on line last night and was pretty blown away by his voice all the way through, Jungle was brilliant.  I thought it was a great show but then I am new to Guns, The only problem was there were no new songs although So Fine was added sung by Duff.

Axl said he'd like to keep it going as long as possible, Slash didn't actually say the band can't release new music.

I see you have been around a long time so you will have more of a handle on all of this....do you really think Axl will stay around?

I just dont understand why people do this kind of thing,  it looks as though he has been on the forum a long time as well...

I am so sorry for the 'fans' who have been following Guns from back in the day and have waaited and waited for new music.  What do I know but since Slash's comment about not being able to release music I dont think releasing music is on the agenda.  Slash and Duff have their own thing and I really dont think Axl gives a monkeys toss anymore, indeed I have a suspicion that once this world tour is over (and millions will be made) Axl will leave it all behind.

How this tour is still in place is beyond me.

Until we get a further handle on the outbreak, it's the height of irresponsibility to hold large-scale events like concerts.  Whether it be the promoter or the band itself, someone needs to step up and do the right thing.  

 

According to our great leader (UK PM) large gatherings like concerts will not make much difference so Guns can come here as often as they like!

Some interesting scientific-expert evidence put forward for the UK reaction in fairness. Time will only tell which country has gotten it correct.

This is true..

Well Boris has spoken (UK PM) and we do nothing...maybe we could become the touring capital of the world...

So damned frustrating!

Perhaps Richard's way of saying dont worry the tour will happen or at least the band wont cancel any gigs? So they have their own plane but they couldn't afford something better than computer print on faux leather - no wonder they must keep touring with those ticket prices being just way too low.

What is this, what does it mean and how does it let us know they are still touring?  

the GNAIR paper should be in above post...

This has NOTHING to do with band members, management etc, Governments are running this show ( not sure why Axl is getting it in the neck from some quarters).  It must be so frustrating for the bands and everybody involved as all their plans in turmoil and, like the rest of this, concerned about the situation.

One scientist on Joe Rogan's show is not the be all, end all expert.

The only way to draw any significant conclusions about the mortality rate is to look to the data out of South Korea. They are the only country that has done mass testing so they are the only country finding a high percentage of mild and asymptomatic cases.

While many younger people in South Korea are among those that tested positive, the fatality rate for young people is 0.1% or less. For 80+ it is 3.8%. This is far lower than the rate coming out of earlier, worldwide analysis.

Yes, it is more deadly than the flu. The reality is probably somewhere around 3-5 times. No, it isn't a "nothing burger." It is also not Armageddon.

With respect to China, as long as they put protocols in place to test people with symptoms and isolate them if they test positive, the spread will be controlled when they get back to normal. It won't be zero cases but it will be manageable and not turn into an epidemic again.

Interesting, no I am well aware one needs to research more than one source, which I have done and I did find this particular scientist interesting but still inconclusive.

i live in an ultra red zone here in italy, very near Codogno Lombardia.

the situation is drammatic, i work at home, i stay all day at home (except for buy somethibg to eat/drink and for Street bike training).

i've never seen so many ambulance in my life, our hospital are full.

GN'R will cancelled the tour very soon. no hope

Gosh I am so sorry you find yourself in this situation.

woman of 53 has died from this virus in the uk

He also said that as soon as the Chinese start living life normally the voraciousness of the virus will start all over again, when people start touching surfaces and coming into folk that are infecteed.

I am watching a scientist being interviewed by Joe Rogan.   If what he is saying is true then we ALL need to be aware of what we are doing, he said there is much misinformation  and that in fact this virus is going to be much more worse than we are being told.

1 It is around 15 times worse than the flue and in a few more months there are going to be a high amount of deaths.

2 It is NOT an oldg peoples illness, it seems like it is as this is just the begining and the first to die are those with other underlyiing problems.

and lots more, if you get the chance watch this Joe Rogan programme

A New Chapter: One new song...is this enough to fulfil the claims of the title?
