Route66 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm going to stick my neck out here and say the rest of the tour isnt going to happen. This is Guns after all and no one can tell Axl to do something he doesnt want to do. Hearing from management etc is all fair and good but Axl is his own boss and have the management actually been able to contact him? If his twitter account was hacked would he not of jumped quickly to clear up any rumours? After all it will cost GNR money if people start returning tickets. I dont want to stir shit. I'm an old school GNR fan and i've become used to the ways of the GNR world and this to me is nothing out of the ordinary for being a GNR fan. Thoughts?For the record. I wont be ditching on my fav band just because of some bad publicity. GNR are the best for me and always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl definitely calls the shots, and to me there are no signs pointing to anyone but Axl as having posted that tweet. There's a chance they can talk him down, but it's just as likely that they've not even been able to get ahold of him, just like when CD was released. Only thing that doesn't add up is the tweet from DJ about shopping for guns with Axl. Was that true, or just some odd attempt at damage control?

Axl_Rob Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ive got tickets for Manchester so lets hope all is well and good. As a lifelong Guns fan I wont be shocked in the slightest if its all gone tits up though.With the lack of info from the facebook group and each members twitter feeds I'd say u'd have to be an idiot to think all is rosey. Im just glad i didnt buy a day ticket for leeds coz at least ive got til October for them to sort it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelian Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 in a odd way, I'm glad GnR isn't playing NYC as I may be tempted to buy a ticket; but since they don't seem to have an interest in playing the states, I'm not faced w/ that temptation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEU-YORK Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hopefully this will be clarified one way or another ASAP! Flights/Hotels need to be cancelled in advance to have any chance of refunds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that doesn't add up is the tweet from DJ about shopping for guns with Axl. Was that true, or just some odd attempt at damage control?All the stuff i've read from management screams of "lets put a lid on it for now". I have to wonder if he ever even agreed to do the europe shows or whatever?? DJ and Axl seem to get along well also which is a bonus. Maybe Axl has ditched his phone to avoid contact with management and posted the tour cancellation via a pc? That would explain why he didnt post from his iPhone. I hope everything is good in GNR world but i'm worried it might not be. Dexter hasnt been shy in telling us in the past also. Plus if i was fuckin pissed off with someone trying to call me i'd ditch my phone also Edited August 17, 2010 by Route66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_Rob Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 With the coverage of this story I find it hard to believe that we have no official word yet. Until the Facebook group or twitter feeds say otherwise, we should all take our heads out of the sand and fear the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 One more thing that worries me. I'm pretty sure Twitter would have removed that post by now if it had been proved to be fake. Mind you they are getting plenty of PR out of it also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Axl Rose’s twitter account was hacked into and all claims of dates being cancelled are unfounded.”Who are GNR "management"? Azoff and many others have come and gone after disagreements with Axl. Now Doc Mcghee is there yeh? There's always Beta, Fernando and Vanessa etc. LIke i said. No one makes Axl do anything he doesnt want to do. Axl is his own boss and i'm not basing this on anything other than events since GNR formed. If there's anything dodgy going on. I woudnt be surprised if Axl vanished for another 2 years. It's all pure speculation but i for one would do the same thing if someone tried to force me to do something i didnt want to. I guess we'll find out soon once the next show comes along. I really hope they all go ahead as planned but i still get the feeling things are not all great at the moment with GNR. If i'm a pessimistic fucker then fair enough. I'm a GNR fan and i still will be even if the tour is cancelled. Thats what makes me a GNR fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Axl Rose’s twitter account was hacked into and all claims of dates being cancelled are unfounded.”A video for "Better" was mentioned. Any ideas for a date of release, and/or in what capacities it will be released? What style of video is planned - live footage, some more dramatic theme? Great song. Can't wait to see what you guys have created for a visual.Soon is the word as in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
