Hanoi Rocks Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) www.gunsnroses.comI know this has been discussed before. But the band is now tighter then ever and i think all that mystique relating with this band has come to end of it´s road.I think great Guns n Roses official site should contain following things:-Well updated news section-Band section*every members personal biography and the band´s also-Discography section-Updated tour section-Media section *Music videos*Promo shots*Pics-Shop section*"new online coming soon" text has been there about a year or more, and still it´s not open.* All cool GnR stuff that there has been before, i personally want especially buy Dj Ashba stuff-Contact section**record company´s and manager´s and others contact details-Official GnR forum-Links section*All the great GnR fan sites like mygnr.com, heretodaygonetohell.com, chinesedemocracy.com etc.-Extras section*Wallpapers and other cool stuffi think it´s time for this band to step up fully from their closet and make themselves known.Your thoughts?

ThinkAboutYou Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I can't see it happening It would take less then a month to create a fully interactive website amazes me that the website is so basic with such little content Edited February 20, 2010 by ThinkAboutYou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapelRoses Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 If it's ever gonna happen I would guess it does during/after a very successful world tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) The MLB people who run the official site are treating Axl Rose like Pete Rose. Edited February 22, 2010 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plonker88 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 There actually was an official forum but it was shut down after people starting posting Axl's adress, phone number etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackler Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 There actually was an official forum but it was shut down after people starting posting Axl's adress, phone number etcYeah, I heard a rumour that Axl posted on it, is that true?

phaeryen Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Axl & co. are just so infamous for their complete inability to hold their own in the internet wonderland.I find it amazing, because it would only take ONE GUY working pretty low wages to keep a completely professional and respectable site going. Rather they just have a completely horrible, 10 years out of date website that hurts them. And then cupcake around fansites like this one. I feel like theyre stupid and cheapskates in this respect.

ChapelRoses Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I wouldn't say "cheapskates," if they wanted to they could have a real online shop and make quite a bit of money. More then enough to pay someone to build the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rose Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Fernando posted something about this with words to the effect of 'If only you knew...' i.e. they've tried to sort out a proper professional site but things have gotten in the way. Presumably management/record company/old members legal issues etc. I hope one day we get to find out the details of all this legal shit that has been stalling Axl for over 10 years. Bizarrely he even said that 2009 was the worst year of his life with regards to dealing with the post CD-release problems. I have faith in Axl but sometimes you gotta wonder stuff like this only happens in GN'RLand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyL Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hope the band can get something straightened out. But in the mean time I haven't used that site in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr-dave Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It would not be that difficult.They could easily post Axls tweets on there, and Rons interviews. They should also put up a few live videos from each show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 55 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If it's ever gonna happen I would guess it does during/after a very successful world tour Most bands are barley involved in their own websites. That's all left to their publicist. Besides, it's not like they "don't have time. They've had quite a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It seems like it would be easy, but everything that seems easy takes forever in the land of GNR.A good site would have:- Up to date news section, including tweets/facebooks/myspace posts from all members- A bio section for each member including links to their personal sites and facebooks/myspace/etc- A media section with promo videos, live videos, live songs, and interviews- A store with cool shit in it, not $50 AFD shirts.An official forum would be cool, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
