RIP Dexter and love to Axl, the loss of beloved pet is hard.  I lost my sweet rabbit this morning and am devestated.

Losing an animal is damned painful, my heart goes out to Axl  RIP Dexter.  I am going through the same thing as of this morning and god it hurts.

Gosh just insane...good to see a positive post re Axl's voice too.

A couple of weeks ago but nothing since, they do play something of Guns n Roses every day but mostly the 'hits'.

Gosh there is so much wishful thinking in this thread, building of narratives around non existent evidence.  Sorry to sound negative but the last straw for me was when Slash said they had not even got together, after five years, but has been saying the opposite.  They have done what they set out to do, another tour then its retirement for Axl which I think he will be rather relieved about.  I dont think music is his passion anymore.

Why do you think there is going to be an album when there is simply no evidence of this happening especially since Slash has admitted they have not done anything musically together (after saying that they had).  I truly hope I am wrong we shall see.

Why do you guys keep answering to the same thing again and again though? 

Because there is no indication as to what GNR are going to doe next, if anything, so something else is better than nothing?

I bet he isnt.

It is so obvious there is going to be no new album or no new anything.  Just look at the historical posts, exactly the same things were being said and the same frustration being felt.  I think Axl has no interest at all in music anymore, actually it makes me wonder if this will be the last tour, maybe that is why he seemed so happy at the last shows!  He has other priorities now and Slash and Duff have there own projects.

I imagine Axl goes his way and the others go their way when a tour ends and then Axl gets on with his life which probably does not include music  or anybody associated with it any more.  He has most likely found a way to  to find some peace  which does not, unfortunately, include  music.

Why did he fall out with Buckethead?

In addition to everything you just said, I'd like to add this: GN'R is short on respect for their fans, not the other way around. Especially when it comes to people on this forum 

Now if yoill excuse me, I have to return an Instagram message from Axl. 

Yea I have the same problem with Mick...its Instagram after Instagram

In what way do users of this forum 'not have respect for the band'? 

Claiming that they aren't viewed favourably by a lot of people, and that they're not in the same league of popularity as The Rolling Stones really has nothing to do with 'respect' and everything to do with being objective and honest. 

Or do you expect everyone here to be totally blinkered to reality?  

Why does it make people lesser fans to say that they they've had years and years of people light-heartedly mocking them for still liking GNR? 

I'm sorry but I absolutely can't stand this modern phonemum for either loving something and turning into some rabid peculiar and irrational obsessive or being labelled as not having 'respect' or 'hating' something. It's just fucking nonsense. 

Just my opinion as you have yours.  I also did not say a lot of what you areaccusing me of such as nobody here has respect or are lesser fans, these are not my thoughts at all and am sorry that is what you took from it.  All I am saying is I think GnR are thought of as more than just a kilt etc.  

I dont agree at all that  GnR are 'just a kilt etc'.  The people I speak too (all ages) see them as a legendry hard rock band,  I am not sure where you get your info from but their reputation is well and truly cemented  in the annals of great rock n roll.  I am really surprised that someone on the forum would hold this point of view, it seems folk who dont use the forums have more respect for the band.

Hardskool was played on one of our main radio stations in the UK last night

Should I buy my tickets now (expensive) or wait until closer to the time.  Thanks.

Axl, the band and management have really worked hard, obviously, and it shows!

What did he say?

Hey guys I just wanted to put this in here. For all of the heat that’s being thrown Axl’s way, he is sincerely trying his best. It’s been completely evident since the start of the tour. I feel more so on this tour since 2016 when the reunion happened. He’s never going to sound like he did in the past. If anything, we will probably get some glimpses of that old sound in recordings. But in a live setting? It’s just not possible for him to pull off every single note the way it was recorded on the albums. He has done so much with his voice and was so versatile in all of his recordings. That is his gift. He tried so many different things and so many different styles that it is physically impossible to sing exactly the way the songs have been recorded.  We should be happy that he’s still out there giving it his all. He’s happy, he’s healthy. Let’s acknowledge that. 
 

On an unrelated note, I am personally not doing well. However, it brings me happiness to still be able to see my favorite band of all time in a live setting and via YouTube recordings. Axl and Slash are together. Imagine that? Something NOBODY thought would ever happen. Let’s all take a step back and look at the big picture and enjoy what we, as fans, currently have because it’s not going to last forever. 

Hey I hope things improve for you soon...

Mindblowing!  Thankyou.

I really appreciate his communicating how he was feeling, I hope he is feeling better.
