A mainstream news organization should pick up this story.  There is one here and it would certainly get a lot of clicks given Guns’ notoriety

A Rolling Stone or NYT-entertainment section article could shame GNR into acting. 

What other global band is getting erased from YouTube? 

Completely agree. As I said previously, it sets a dangerous precedent when accounts like the IFPL are whitelisted to remove anything they want to. There aren't enough checks & balances to ensure legitimate claims are handled correctly.

That's rough. Do you have back up copies?

Unfortunately no. 

My YouTube account I've had for 15 years was terminated on Thursday of last week.  Roughly 20 GNR videos I've filmed from 2011-2016 were flagged and removed.  One of the notable videos removed was my footage from Indianapolis 2011 with Zakk Wylde joining GN'R on stage for Whole Lotta Rosie.  To say I'm upset is an understatement.  Had I known this would happen, I would have set all of these videos to private to anyone except those who have the link.  I took filming seriously, but was not in this for the views or publicity.  I managed to find this thread after seeing similar complaints on Reddit. A dangerous precedent, to say the least.

Never knew Axl was so pink nowadays.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that he's wearing a white shirt. Red heads typically have a rosier complexion (something to do with their having a different amount/type of skin pigment) and brighter colors tend to emphasize it.

Not to be an asshole (I love saying that), but I was the one who found that pic. And to prove it, here's the original source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/simko/111839562/

It's just a fan on vacation in New York.

Why's everybody getting on this guy's ass? He's obviously a GN'R fan like the res... most of us anway. Personally I think what these guys are doing is cool regardless of there being no major revelations about CD. What's the harm in having a little fun while we continue to wait and wait and wait.

i feel kinda bad for tracii though

missing out on gnr probably ruined his life

he probably feels like steven adler, only even lower... that must really suck

How? Maybe if Tracii blew a guy for a hit of smack, had a drug-induced stroke, and played Appetite For Destruction until onset of Parkinsons he'd begin to feel lower than Steven.

Oh god, the last thing I need is more GNR merch... people already refer to me as "that Guns N Roses chick"

That being said, I can't wait to buy some new stuff!!!

Wow, hey Jenna. This is filicide from mmusa. Small world, isn't it? I didn't realize you were a Guns fan. I guess I can forgive you for leaving the 'phant, since anyone known as "that Guns N Roses chick" is cool in my book. You should drop by the Gen Music forum when GNR news starts picking up. We need more fans of the new band!

As far as new merch goes, they really ought to bring in someone who has more than an inkling of design experience. This logo is very unprofessional. The biggest problem is the GUNS N' ROSES -- it just doesn't work where they have it placed. Especially the N' that's right on the edge of the star -- very distracting. Most people probably won't give a shit, but design is my field so this shit sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Very amateur.

I think I might have found another new one -- or at least new to me. I found this one off of flickr. Says it was taken March 9th.

Hi, sorry for the lame thread. I was hoping a fellow gunner might have saved this live pic of Axl I had before my hard drive crashed. It's appetite era and he's wearing a shirt that says "Fuck dancing let's fuck. I think the shirt's hillarious and I'm trying to get it reproduced, but I need the pic to do so. Tommy Lee also wore the same shirt on the Crue documentary that they filmed around '87... Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
