Son, I think you need to sit yourself down and watch the Dead Pool again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatVin Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) well I'm really happy that they are doin' this. There is no reason to blame them. Nothing will be good for everyone. If they played those gis for fans, it would do nothing for fans from Europe etc.. just open your eyes xGNRxSTARx and see how great is this. Everything what lets us now that they are out there is great. Edited February 14, 2010 by BatVin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumcat Esq. Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Here's a newsflash....maybe this is just something the band wants to do - enjoy a fun intimate gig for themselves, who the hell cares if "die hard" fans get to attend. Probably just a real cool vibe for the band and their close friends/family to enjoy in-between doing large concert gigs. It's amazing how so many losers on this board have to make everything about "them". And why broadcast either? GNR has never been a ban that exploits themselves. And they sure as hell don't owe you self-proclaimed fans anything. What....because you have been waiting a long time and were the first losers at Best Buy, and you have been illegally stealing demos, you think that entitles you to anything? Wow, what a flight of eloquence! If a band wants to enjoy a fun initimate gig for themselves, their close friends/family, if they want to enjoy it in-between, then why the fuck advertize it in the Internet and speak in riddles for the die-hard fans that none gives a fuck about according to you? And please enlighten me who should proclaim a person a fan?Got a bundle of sissy-slaps ready for this Madison chick who's another self-important self-entitled self-righteous never was trying to hijack the positive vibe this band has been putting out over the last few days. You just couldn't help mentioning her, could you? Now and then we gotta drag her name through the mud just in case. Get the fuck over it and leave her alone already. Besides, she was mostly positive about the recent gigs in Canada except one thing that people seem to enjoy rubbing into each other until their fucking minds start bleeding. Even when it's none of their business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSock Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm sorry but this is shitty that the true fans don't really get to go to these,while Fashion hipsters that could give a fuck about anything other than SCOM are there.Yeah,I know the Dr.Pepper guy got in,but he has some kind of a connection. At the very least these shows should be broadcast,otherwise what benefit is there? They could have organized a Forum Lottery to give say ten spots for each show from each of the major forums. That way some die-hards in the area or that would travel if they won, could have attended.Here's a newsflash....maybe this is just something the band wants to do - enjoy a fun intimate gig for themselves, who the hell cares if "die hard" fans get to attend.

Rock on Axl, DJ, Bumble, Dizzy and crew - ignore these self-righteous ego-centric zit-faced tools who are jealous they live outside the know and don't have access. Got a bundle of sissy-slaps ready for this Madison chick who's another self-important self-entitled self-righteous never was trying to hijack the positive vibe this band has been putting out over the last few days.Oh Hell Yeah, 100% agreed!

Why sit here and yell at a wall about it? Don't download the youtube clips, don't download the audio, and frankly, don't post in the topic if you "couldn't care less."You've been around long enough to know that Axl is going to conduct operations however he sees fit...If the last week has taught us anything, it should be blatantly obvious that he simply doesn't empathize with his fanbase enough to even concern himself with its' desires, let alone cater to its' whims.

gunsguy Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Guys in all honesty would it make a difference if they played in front of 100 of "die hard" fans if you or anyone you know didn't make the cut? I think it has more to do with not being there than who is IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't care about his fans he would come out and say, "Shows coming up, tickets will be there for you, see you there," and then play in front of a select crowd of randoms. He did no infer, promise or garuntee anything apart from that some surprise shows were coming, that was it. You just enjoy twisting words to fit an agenda.Axl could buy you a Ferrari as a surprise and you would make a thread saying you wanted an Aston Martin instead.Fuck it, surprise show! Wonder if they will open with another odd choice of song? My World anyone? Edited February 15, 2010 by plonker88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
