axl's twitter is on fire

While Slash has tweeted twice since as if nothing's happened.

Yes I noticed that, he actually posted random stuff on Instagram but nothing related to the big news...

No we didnt talk about AFD but i dont believe him and Slash talked about it either.

Thanks The Glow (S2B runs Slash France and i run GNRFrance)!

For now we dont have more info and i do think Slash is on a plane right now coming back to the US so we might not hear more before a few hours...

I get it. I know you want to believe him badly. I've never really cared for "insiders" from either camp, to be honest.

He runs Slash France, he's brought us legit news time and time again, why not believe him?

He's my buddy and we just talked about it. He doesnt know more about this than us. What he meant was an assumption based on the fact that they dont sue each other anymore for each live release and all. But he didnt confirm the fact that he knows for sure from Slash's camp that they're talking or are friends or whatever.

RS just posted a story about this and couldnt get any comments...(if they did try to have them, journalism isnt what it was )

True but he seemed to have the same response everytime for 20 years about him and Slash. I think we should just wait until something is a bit more official than a video that could have been edited or whatever.

This interview is too fishy.

How does a random Swede reporter know this?

Exactly my thoughts... The whole thing sounds kinda weird to me. "Not in this lifetime" and then lets talk again? I dont know...

Things are 'cool' between them for like 2 years now. That doesn't mean they'll play together again

Dont remember Axl or anyone in GN'R's camp mentioning that?

Even if the "not in this lifetime" was a while ago, i find it hard to believe Axl went from that to "cool"!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it unknown at the time whether Robin was in the band when Chinese Democracy was released? Axl even said in the QA session he did that people should be more concerned about who is on the album than who is on the band.

Highly likely a similar situation will play out with the next album.

Actually Robin issued a press release along with Reznor saying he was going back to NIN only a few months prior CD's release, which seemed pretty odd at the time. A few days later the band issued a statement on the official site saying they didnt know what was going on with Robin. And 6 months later CD was released.

Maybe in early 2008, Robin was aware the actual CD tour wouldnt start before late 2009 and just decided to leave because he was getting bored or something?

I played it on my wedding (not main song but on the playlist), i really like it, especially evader's remix!

Not surprised if true. Axl will treat his fans like shit for the most futile reasons. What a shitty human being.

Are you serious?

Why do you even post here if you think so? You can disagree with some things Axl do/ has done but thats a pretty strong statement...

Thank you, yes for me he brought a lot of energy, attitude and I liked his stage presence, more in 2006 than in 2002. I attended shows on both tours and could really tell the difference, he was probably more comfortable too.

I met him backstage a few times on the 2006 tour, he's actually pretty cool. I remember he told us a story about how he couldn't get in at the MSG 2002 because he had lots of clothes on (there was a snow storm back then), and the security guards didn't recognize him and he forgot his pass. He finally managed to get in not long before the show.

I liked what he brought to the band in 2006 on tour!

Hey guys, if you like Boston 2002, I uploaded 2 different angles:

I'm surprised no one mentioned Albany 2002, this is one my fav shows from the new line-up, a great AUD shot in great quality, pretty cool rants too:

I also really liked Rock in Rio-Lisboa 2006, it's often forgotten because of Rock Am Ring but I think it's amazing (even if it's missing the new songs unfortunately):

Thanks for the interview, Frank is a great guy!

I remember seeing him around backstage at the Paris 2006 show and asking him where were the dressing rooms, I didn't know who he was back then lol.

Argentina '93 (Sadly not that good sound on that one)

Check out this version:

On topic: great footage in that documentary, wow! I think most of the shots are from the first leg of the UYI Tour, between May and December 1991 (even though it was paused during september and october). I'm pretty sure there are shots taken during the L.A Forum and MSG shows... I wonder if that TV channel has the full sources! I doubt it but if anyone knows someone who works there...

I voted for AFD, but for me it's difficult to compare Myles and Axl singing. I don't think GN'R songs suit Myles, but that's just me.

On AFD I loved the production, the setlist and really enjoyed the boxset with the Blu-ray + 2CDs. Axl's voice was probably better in 2014 with Yesterdays and all (and even better in 2006 at Rock Am Ring for instance), but overall I really liked that release.

His mom passed away in 1994, I think.

His mom passed away in 1996, a year after Shannon Hoon, and a year before West Arkeen. These 3 years were hard on Axl because he was (obviously) very close to all these persons (even though we don't know much about the relationship he had with his mom after 1992).

Yeah i was at the London 2012 show, when izzy forgot the words to 14 years and Axl mucked up civil war, great show !

Nice to hear someone else likes appetite for democracy, it doesn't sound terrible like certain people say IMO, it's getting battered because of the people who and who arnt in the band

I did enjoy that release, which was the first one since Chinese Democracy, can't say we are overwhelmed with GN'R releases... I think it's greatly edited, sound is great and Axl did a good job on that show. I think a lot of fans are bitter. Oh well, anyway I bought the digital release and the Blu-ray and I watch it pretty often!

Good point ! Was it rock fuel that were filming the London O2 show 2012 that never got released but I've got it anyway

No it was a different company (Studio: LiveBeats / Allied Media). Rock Fuel even commented on that studio's work on the London show and its weird release/ non-release. The London show is really badly filmed and edited, which is too bad because the concert is pretty cool. I'm glad we had a Japanese full HD TV broadcast though!

I'm glad Rock Fuel got an award for Appetite For Democracy, I really enjoyed the Blu-ray + 2CDs set!

I read that the tee-shirt in the US boxset is a Large size one (Men).

The digipack is only available in Europe as far as I know.

Available for import for US fans on Amazon UK:

Blu-ray is All Regions, I don't know about the DVD though.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I took them with my Canon reflex camera.

By the way I really enjoyed the boxset and thought the 2CD version was well edited, without any breaks/ solos between songs.

I posted some pics on GN'R France (Blu-ray + 2CDs set) a few days ago. You can see them here:

Yes, peace Axl.

Really cool you're doing that. To be honest, the ownership of the name Guns N' Roses has never been an issue for me. I mean, you acquired the rights for it, and the other guys left the band for their own reasons, too bad for them I guess. My question would be: have you ever thought one day, with all the bashing you got from the media and from some fans, to actually change the name of the band (keep the current members but choose another name)? If so, what were your ideas of a new name?

You're starting off with an ongoing debate on fan boards for the past few years, so there will be many questions I bet.

Take care man, I hope there will be more topics, including some about your feelings on playing the Illusion songs and the recording process, etc.

You're awesome man, thanks for the updates!!

And thanks to your bro too.
