  1. The band can do great songs and sound. Monsters is killer.

    But TB is so amateurish… Come on delaying a release due to vinyl quality. Only happens to this group. You should check quality much in advance… The management is not professional because it’s not in their DNA, they learnt and became manager thanks to their relationship with Axl. But whatever they touch it turns out to become shit. And they claim it is never their fault. It is! Perhaps released on juke box, what a joke. GN’R band is great, so when music speaks it does not lie, but the promotion / delivery / communication is total mess since years…

    Okay searching for Perhaps on Spotify in Germany now shows Guns N Roses as top artist. I know for a fact that yesterday when I did that it definitely did NOT do that, it didn't bring up GNR at all. Maybe we're in luck and it will actually drop tonight after or during the show. But it's got to be coming soon now.

    Same in France, as of today GNR is now displayed as Top artist when searchin “Perhaps“. It is coming :popcorn:

  3. I hate that overlength shirt and/or the overshort leather jacket he wears.

    Unless he gets his confidence/mojo/energy etc back and goes back to just a t-shirt and bandana a la 2010, I imagine this look is what we'll get for the rest of his career. I've noticed that once they hit their 50s, even artists who were previously flamboyant or changing their look all the time tend to settle into a look they feel comfortable with and this goes hand in hand with really maturing and being comfortable with who they are and all that shit, same as for most people at that age.

    One good example is Bob Dylan who was a chameleon right through to his 40s. He played a hobo, a minstrel, a folkie but since he hit 50 he's worn nothing but suits and hats and always looks the same.

    I think Axl looked great in 2006-2010 and a huge part of it was not just his mature-rocker outfits but he really had his confidence back. I really feel like 2011 onwards he is, for one reason or another, actually hiding behind all the gaudy shit.

    In 2006-2010 he worked the stage with the attitude and energy of 90's-Axl and made eye contact with the front section constantly. Now he plays whole shows behind his hat and shades and doesn't connect with the music or the crowd.

    Great post.

    I remember in Madrid 2006, so much energy, indeed looking (without sunglasses) at us in front-row, I felt an incredible charisma from the guy (btw during Twat, you could read in his eyes "downloadin motherfuckers" while looking at us singing the yet-unreleased song).

    In 2012, I did not feel it again.

  4. Come on... GNR Nightrain completely sucks. Facebook updates have never been so poor, posting YouTube crap captures of recent shows, or old GnR shows with Slash & co., which is completely non-sense in regards to current band. Not mentionning the big mess around Las Vegas DVD.

    HTGTH, which is run by a fraud (bought & owned by TB), is a sad joke. Go there and read how Going Down is not mentionned. Go there and read how jarmo is trying to justify how Pittman interview is not negative and how coherent is GNR. What a fraud. Just hope non casual fans do not join that board, and I wish mygnr has much more visits and visibility on the web. Thanks mygnr guys to keep this fun place alive - there are some cupcakes but at least they make me laugh. As soon as we have a piece of news (e.g.: leaks), cupcakes disappear and most of members are supportive.

    What a pity to see this great band, with creative guys (Axl, Tommy, Ron, DJ), losing its potential and its opportunity. Time goes, and it will be too late in few years. Do you really expect Axl releasing some YCBM-like songs at 65? Come on. It's still time, but nothing happens, and no one is here to let him know or move his lazy ass. Fuck.
