It was one of the stupidest "Metal Edge" photo shoots that GnR ever did! lol Lol thanks. It's one of my favorite photo shoots. It's completely ridiculous, but also kinda adorable. And charmingly homoerotic. Anyway, Axl sounds great in these rehearsal/sound check videos and I'm glad because I recently bought a cheap ticket for the concert in Vienna from a disgruntled AC/DC fan. I had no intention of going originally, but what the hell, once in a lifetime opportunity and all that. At least I hope it's a once in a lifetime opportunity because I'm one of those not exactly thrilled about the whole AC/DC thing and I hope it doesn't turn into anything more permanent. The one thing I would want more than anything is new music by Axl, Slash, Izzy and Duff. Not endless greatest hits tours with two bands at once.

I think they care and they're pretty much pissed, especially Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted May 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2016 I can just envision the first meeting between Axl and Slash prior to Guns' regrouping for the stadium tour, (Slash) ''Hey Axe, how did you spend your spring?'' (Axl) ''Playing with AC/DC. How did you spend your spring?'' (Slash) ''When all things are considered, just masturbating like a madman to skeletons on the internet''. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this, but it actually makes more sense the way he sings it. Brian says Nine lives, cat eyes, abusing every one of them Axl says cats eyes, nine lives, abusing every one of them. Doesn't flow as well but it makes sense when read and not sang lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they care and they're pretty much pissed, especially Slash. You keep trying to project your dislike of axl/dc onto Slash, when there's nothing to suggest he feels the same as you at all. He and Duff have literally said nothing, they've not even given a clue to the GNR:CSI team. We don't know what the state of relations is between these guys, but when Courtney Love starts talking about reconciliation, how she once picked on Axl and how they've now all patched it up. "We're all in this together." She said, in support of axl/dc. I think it's safe to say a fair amount of discussion and soulseeking has gone on behind the scenes. So maybe things between the guys are not as tentative or negative as you're portraying them to be. I'm not into acdc at all, but can see that Axl being active and putting himself out there in any way, is a good thing for everyone. It's not the zero sum game that you're framing. Think of the huge backlash there was to Axl working with ac/dc when it was announced. And that was from many rock fans. If he can win some of those people over, show that he's still an exciting frontman and singer. Maybe some of those detractors will then be interested in seeing GNR this summer. People keep saying the acdc fanbase is massive, that they've had one of the biggest tours ever, yet fail to see the cross promotion potential of Axl working with them. Besides that, the fact that he's willing and able to do interviews and promo for ac/dc bodes well for Guns. It means it's likely that some GNR promo will happen eventually. Probably closer to the dates. It would be too ridiculous for it not to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumikki Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) ^ Yes, you're right. I remember seeing some pictures of that shoot with his watermarks on them. As for Slash and Duff, I really hope it doesn't bother them and that they're happy for Axl and everything, but I'm a tiny bit skeptical. I can already see Slash writing another book in 10 years and going "All things considered, I already realized that this reunion was not going to work right from the start, when Axl decided AC/DC was more important to him than our own band..."

Apollo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 5 hours ago, rock4eva said: Bad timing isn't it, sort of taken away from the most exciting time in GNR history with everything being about Axl singing for another band. If it happened last year he wouldn't have a broken foot & after the excitement of Axl singing for AcDc we'd get the excitement that GNR are reuniting. That's the way it should have gone down. Maybe just a bit of a power play by Axl. To show the boys that he is still in charge. He will go to 20 rehearsals and play with another band while the guys in GnR will rehearse without him and they will have to sit back and wait for him to get finished with his side project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they can only get pissed in total silence while masturbating to the porn pics as some people before me have rightly noticed And I seriously doubt his promo with AC/DC will have any reflection in Guns. Nothing will change. If it were to be done, it would have been done already. Edited May 7, 2016 by Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Let's look at this way folks re: promo whether it's Axl/DC or Guns.. We had next to NO PROMO for Axl/DC until a fucking day before the first gig! The first gig of the Not In This Lifetime Tour isn't until late June. Patience...

Don't forget the promo vid they did from the troubadour ;-) I was shocked we got that to be honest. It also appears that guns n roses summer tour was all booked before the AC/DC thing cropped up, I think that's why Axl cancelled the tv show. They rearranged tour dates to accommodate AC/DC. I genuinely don't think its power playing by Axl as opposed to wanting to help AC/DC whilst realising a personal dream, so maybe a little bit selfish, perhaps. Im hopeful we will get more when Axl returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around showtime just search "AC/DC periscope" on Twitter, or go to the Periscope map and find Lisbon and look for an appropriate feed. I'm sure someone here will post if it's found, too. Just be sure you're on the Show feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
