Nah.....

Trolling is starting a new account, making six posts, all of them deliberately aimed at trying to get a rise out of people by saying ludicrous things like the band is "growing leaps and bounds" and suggesting that the reason they are doing stadiums is because of an album that, when released, didn't sell very well and saw them not filling Arenas. 

Basically, it's bollocks aimed solely at annoying people. That's trolling. 

You sure know an awful lot about starting new accounts and making annoying posts, not surprisingly, troll failure lol.

Don't be bitter because most GNR fans agree with me, bitter loser and excuse for a troll.

Denying that GNR is growing by leaps and bounds clearly demonstrates

your ignorance, or deliberate denial,  towards GNR's revived success on their record breaking, history making reunion tour.

Yes, GNR has always been popular, but denying their renewed momentum, fans, and success their reunion tour is bringing them as millions more people are exposed to GNR is blatant delusion.

Jealousy is your name.

Again you demonstrate your bitterness and blatant disregard, by pretending to not to know CD's initial release was sabotaged by its

own Manager and promoter for ulterior motives. Sabotaging the initial release of the album.

In spite of that, CD has gone on to do well, broke records, and continued growing in popularity.

Whats annoying and bollocks is the that you can't handle the fact the CD was selling out stadiums worldwide, while Contraband could not.

Time to log back in to one of your doubtless many accounts  I think.

We're used to a higher standard of trolling round here. 

I can't help it because most comments align with mines.

Lol,  your quote is the proper title for you and your multiple accounts, unsuccessful troll wannabe.

That's a very poor attempt of trolling but the CD era has nothing to do with GNR's successful reunion tour. 

Hahah, trolling is ignoring the facts like you are doing.

Attempting to block CD from GNR success, while CD is a brilliant album  that has kept GNR afloat for many years. CD is far better, and much more successful than Contraband.

CD allowed GNR to continue touring stadiums, while the same can't be said for Contraband. Who mostly booked theatres.

CD, definitely the bridge between the Appetite and Illusions Era,

to the Reunion Era.

I met Axl, DJ, and Bumble after the Philly UCAP show. I wrote a long post about it at the time, link below, but here’s the bit I wrote up on the meet and greet in the parking lot after the show: 

GNRSkidRow1 and I headed out the side door as soon as the show ended and headed for the stage entrance area, along with McCoy and crew. There were probably 30 people out there totally, about 2/3 fans and 1/3 dealers (  ). We were told it would be at least an hour, and we all settled in. Dj came out about 20 minutes later. He signed and took pics with almost everyone who wanted, but Del shuttled him out pretty briskly. Got my picture signed (props to Powerage5 for the photo!) and took a pic with him. Had a very entertaining convo with him, too.

Me: Dj, can't wait for the AM performance at the Revolver Awards.

Dj: Thanks, man, we're excited.

Me: You guys have any idea what you'll be playing.

Dj: Yup.

Ron is a fucking boss. After disappearing for chunks of the show in visible pain, Bumble chatted and signed for EVERYONE. Posed for pictures, the whole shebang. All on top of chillin in the pit for a few minutes right when the doors opened. Just the coolest. I already had my pic with him, but got him to sign my band picture outside afterwards.

Dizzy, Tommy, Frank, and Richard all left with minimal interaction, and Chris snuck out at some point. We all knew there was only one guy left. After about half an hour or 45 minutes, Fernando came out. He said something like "We're not gonna do individual pictures, but we'll do one group shot, and we won't be able to get everyone, but we'll do as many as possible" and went back inside. About 5 minutes later, Beta and Vanessa came out, followed by Fernando and, finally, the man himself. Axl was gracious as all hell. Talked the whole time he was signing stuff. Definitely was rushing to get everyone in before he had to leave, but it was in an effort to be accommodating, not his alleged hatred of fans. He and I exchanged words briefly as he signed my photo. Just an unbelievable experience. Fernando's gonna put the group photo on gnr.com at a point, but I don't have it yet. Still, just in shock that I actually got all my goals for the evening: front row, a guitar pick, and met Axl motherfucking Rose.

 

Wow, what an amazing experience!!!!!

A moment you must've never wanted to end! 

Axl's the best isn't he? He's so amazing.

I've met the entire 2009-2014 lineup, most multiple times. Various situations, some at aftershow parties, some by chance, some at solo shows. I agree with the sentiments that it's not super likely to meet them nowadays unless it's by chance due to the size of the venues. I'm not sure how much they're even up for meeting people outside the hotels as I haven't heard much chatter about that in recent years. 

 

As for what they were all like...Bumble is my favorite, for sure. He's always been super outgoing and personable, always down to chat as long as you are. There was a period where Bumble had purchased some of my photos from GN'R gigs for his promotional use, including one that he used for a cover photo on a guitar magazine in Italy. He did a lot to try and help me establish myself as a concert photographer (Which sadly I never did), but I'll always be eternally thankful to him for that - he put a lot of faith in me. Axl has always been very nice, though slightly soft spoken and shy all but the first time I met him. He sort of has this sense of calm about him which puts you at ease, which caught me offguard the first time. Only met Frank once but he was lovely, very chatty and personable. Dizzy and Tommy have both been nice on every occasion I've met them, but nothing else particular to note. I've never found Ashba as friendly on any occasion I've met him as his reputation suggested. Not rude or anything, but just sort of...uninterested in talking to people. Wasn't impressed by Pitman - he acted like he had a massive ego. It didn't really surprise me when he threw his fit in early 2016 and got kicked out (If that's indeed what happened), seemed very in line with his character from when I met him. Fortus was the worst - his room was on the same floor as mine at the Hard Rock during the 2014 residency, so naturally I bumped into him a handful of times waiting for the elevator and whatnot. Every time we crossed paths he would actually go out of his way to avoid contact. It's not like I was fanboying out or anything - even just saying hi or nodding or waving to him, he'd practically avert his eyes. I remember there was once when we both got on the elevator at the same time - I was standing by the buttons so I asked him what floor he wanted. He reached over and pressed a button ,and then stood facing into the corner of the elevator until he got off. Really bizarre  

Wow! How did you meet Axl?

CD a bridge? To what? To the abyss? 

LOL, what "abyss"?

GNR are back on top of the game, like they were before. And growing by leaps and bounds.

Much of it thanks to rock masterpiece CD.

When you've got years of stuff to catch up on, it grows. Once everything is caught up it remains to be seen what happens 

Exactly. Of course GNR is growing.

GNR is simply picking up where they left off,

in conquering the world.

CD and CD era music was great  .

Good, Vital fresh blood, a rock masterpiece and a bridge in the legacy of GNR.

Keeping everything afloat.

Now, a CD-2 done with Slash and Duff would be a very good move for GNR.

Continuing their moves and momentum in all the right directions.

None of the above. Rework the setlist to feature songs that Axl can sound good singing, maybe actually releases new music so Axl has stuff to sing with his current range, and rework some existing songs for his current voice. And while they're at it, tell Axl there's no shame in tuning down.

Very intelligent response.

LOL I would take current-situation Axl over ANY of those choices every day ...

Absolutely. This poll is a sick joke.

this is so typical of this forum and such a BS thread.  shorter setlist, less shows.  period.  he plays for 3 hrs and tours like mad. 

he is still a god of a live vocalist when he is on and better when he is off than people here comparing him to early 90s/2005/acdc etc want to admit

EXACTLY

Is this a joke? None of those options are worth a vote! 

Get a new singer? Replace Axl Rose? And actually expect people to be interested? I suppose you might consider the guy in Adlers band capable?🤣 Not a fucking hope in hell! I'd take a half assed Axl all day before I go to a gnr concert without him. I know bands have replaced popular singers, but I cannot see it happening OR Axl allowing such a thing considering he owns the name and he's far too proud/Crazy to offer that suggestion.

Let melissa do the vocals? I mean, she can certainly do more in terms of blending and covering note ranges he's struggling with. But she cannot lead gnr and she wouldn't sing the songs in the way people want anyway! She is not a rock vocalist.

Somebody else to do the screams? In what lifetime would that be good to hear someone else intro Welcome to the jungle and then for Axl to sing a bit of the rest if the song? I mean come on🤣 that's just flat out ridiculous.

Playback/mime... no. Anybody who is happy to watch a singer in a rock band go up and fake it on stage deserves a slap! "

The real option is. Hire a vocal coach, hire a personal trainer. Get himself in shape both physically and vocally. Learn how to sing in an aggressive style without blowing out his voice a few months into a tour. 

 

TRUER WORDS NEVER SPOKEN

Most everyone has already corrected this mishap, but i'll add mines too.

At least come up with a REALISTIC  GNR poll
