What you propose here is what I think a black hole would be like. a huge fuckload of “crap” in the landscape of space gets sucked into a thing that makes “crap” and is supposed to eject crap like any well behaved hole but, it just sucks it up. GnR has a lot of crap to be shoved up / Sucked into the black mega asshole, and as we have very little info on black holes, so it is with the GnR camp. Duff is a financially smart guy, I’d not underestimate “punk as fuck”s input to revenue streams. Duff is as likely behind the ornament as TB. He’s browsed through the kiss webstore to see what GNR could get away with selling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting asked about new music. Come on now. he could have just not replied at all. Instead he's plugging his new guitars and being snarky to a fan. Being asked about new music comes with the territory of being a member in the band. I get that he's probably sick of it but it's just not very professional of him. What are fans supposed to do? not ask that question? whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans who think the announcement will come from Richard on Facebook deserve to be trolled. Richard is saying something about the only thing he has a say in. His own releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple "I don't know" or "it's not up to me" would have sufficed. And it's obvious he knew exactly what that fan was asking about and it wasn't his signature guitars.

In Richard's defense, he's probably just tired of the question. He's had the same answer since 2002 and he's probably just sick of people asking.

But don't ask him anything GN'R related. If there is an album coming up. Believe me, we won't get the news from him. How did we find out about the reunion? Rumors from the media that nobody from the GN'R camp denied. And when they were ready. They made an official announcement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanecrescente Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 It’s worth noting he got arsey to me over nstagram messages too when I messaged to ask about the potential for me stuff whilst also saying I got tickets for the London show. I’m not going to post it though out of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would if I had the $$, Falcons are fantastic and I really enjoy Richards timbre. But Falcons costs more than a house in my third world country Anyways, in Richards defense, the guy asked if any new "stuff" would be released he didnt ask for music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Fortus was kind of a dick about it for sure but I’d rather that kind of response than false promises at this point anyways honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzagbigbag Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) 1, Richard‘s post once again approves that irony does not work in writing. If you would have seen him smile whilst giving that answer, you would have laughed instead of crying how rude and mean he is. I met him in person and can tell you that he isn’t. He is one nice and gentle guy who takes his time to talk to fans. 2. If Fernando Potato (or whatever his name is) isn’t even able to ask his question in a clear way, let alone in a charming way, I totally get that 4tus had zero motivation to give any response in such a way. I laughed about his answer. In fact, it was clever ... other than the previous harsh and unspecified question.

This, it must be very frustrating for these guys who I'm sure would be wayyy keen to create music and put an album out every now and then with GnR. Like the good ol' days when they were growing up and they were young music fans too. Obviously the world is a much different place now but still these guys are in their 50's and creating songs and putting out albums is probably something very dear to them. Too bad the label, or Axl, whatever can't get their shit together... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 What a mad band when you have Fortus, who has been a member for eighteen years, and furthermore Dizzy Read, member for 30 years, and they have about as much idea on a new album as I do.
