axlsfury Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Been a diehard fan since I was like 10 years old. Love every iteration of the band, but most of all, the talent and enigma of Axl throughout it all is epic. They don't make rockstars like that anymore! I'm 32 now and unfortunately my flame is starting to burn less vibrantly for the band and man I've adored as a fan for decades. I feel as though Axl has been a soldier of misfortune the past 10-15 years. I'm sure he feels the same too with all the shit he's had to deal with. But as a fan and follower, its the lack of communication most of all that has lessened my passion. I'm not talking about intimate details about the man's life, but just some general knowledge of where things are heading for the band and the GNR brand. I think with an attempted reach out to fans and a strategic approach, Axl and GNR could really earn back the accolades of so many. I'm sure there are lawsuits and such and this may be part of the silence, it's just all so unfortunate for such a talented force to be muted and resultingly inactive.So my challenge, and please join me with a hell yeah or go fuck yourself or whatever, is to get this thread a long as possible and get Axl's attention that there's a ton of us out here that give a shit and wanna hear from him. We care and we know you have it in you to recapture the hearts of millions with your talent. It's do or die time for this band/brand at Rock in Rio and if there's a subsequent US tour. Either blow it out of the water - fucking kill it with a blend of the classic hits and something substantively NEW (even rare Chinese cuts or unreleased material) to show you're relevant....or, shut er down and walk away with your integrity. Set the wheels in motion or fucking rip up the tracks. If it's just going through the motions for legal reasons or cash, it ain't worth it any more. Peace and god bless GNR!PS - no offense or disrespect intended here - I honestly just care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It would be nice if Axl used RIR as a platform to address the GNR Nation as to what his future plans for the band are. What happened to the Serpico who wanted to push the band forward? I miss that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl_on_drums Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Weren't GNR meant to "lay some tracks" in 2011..Man, Unless something goes down in winter, What a waste this year has been, especially coming off that awesome tour last year.Go hard or go home at Rio, Axl. That's all I can really say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.. Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We're all thinking the same OP but Axl has a reason to act the way he acts, and things are this way because of a reason. Shit happens, shit happened, but I'm sure Axl will kick asses this fall. Asses of fire III starts now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wicked Hand Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Right on OP!Unfortunatly, this would probably have the oposite effect on Axl than we would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Dear Axl......been a die-hard fan since 1987. Please release new music. That's all your real fans want. I couldnt care less about a reunion. Axl fans just want music. We would love to hear as many songs as possible from you before u decide to retire. That is all we want. Thank you.

Axl fans just want music. We would love to hear as many songs as possible from you before u decide to retire. That is all we want. Thank you.This sums things up pretty much. And is the wish of many gnr-fans. Hence the amount of dissapointment throughout the years.Another tour without any release is not gonna make the fanbase any happier with the situation.Rio will be a great window to announce the release of a new album. For the sake of the band, the guys and the fans, I really hope that Axl will grab the opportunity this time and just do it.

Guns n' Swedes Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Would be sooo crap to tour South America with the exact same songs again. I just don't believe that they will do that. I am sure that something cool will happen or else they wouldn't have accepted the gig in the first place!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let And Let Live Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well the silence was lot worse before, I still can't get over the fact that Mr Rose used twitter, that was incredible considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
