wasted Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The cost of Chinese Democracy is always high, but GNR fans have always paid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cancerface Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) All of the past members have said at one point or another that they didn't like the fact that axl wasnt doing this under a new name. But legally their hands were tied. Its not so much that the nu music is not my cup of tea, its that it wasn't something that should've been under the gnr name. Its not right. And yeah izzy and duff played with axl again. Axl was once their friend, and to make amends sometimes you have to make compromises. In the end for them friendship was bigger. But I still bet if they had a say, they wouldn't let axl be using it. That's just my opinion. But the age old question that still boggles my mind is "why did they sign over the name in the first place?" Was it because they didn't foresee the future playing out like it did? Did axl threaten to end the band otherwise? Who knows for sure, I just, in the shoes of a fan, don't like that it feels like all these new players, axl as well mooching off the new name to stay revelevant. And having their set list compromised mostly of a legacy none of them built except one of them. Who was only 1/5th of the legacy. My two cents. More than one way at looking at this I guess. If new gnr wants to be taken seriously as their own band they need to do more to earn it. I'm sorry, I've said it more than once today, but playing covers, good covers at that, but still just covers for well more than half a show, with their own songs few and far in between, running around under a legendary hat they didnt create isn't cutting it. Talk to me on the day they can sell out stadiums with just their own material alone.My apologies, I meant to post this in response to someone in a completly different thread. I'm on an android phone, so somehow that mustve been how I made this mistake. Again, sorry to those who may take offense.yeah, but in a way it's not axl or the new band's fault that audiences want old songs -- it's the old band's fault. if they hadn't written songs that were so much more beloved than the new band's songs, then i'm sure audiences would be open to hearing more of chinese democracy too. but people pay good money for those tickets, and they want to have a good show. that means they want to hear their favorite songs. the new bands' hands are tied -- a combination of the old band's gifts for writing popular songs, and the new band's shortcomings.

ITW 2012 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) I was just watching this speech below and I was thinking about how it would be the perfect way for Axl to end the war with Chinese Democracy. He should use it as the opening intro for RIR; before breaking out The General to start the show. Edited August 28, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Chinese Democracy has been going on for longer than Nam and Iraq. Maybe Axl should hire Blackwater to put out part 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
