Blummas Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 is strange and unusual.normal is overrated, it's better that everyone can speak their minds, as opposed to other forums where it's one way or the highway...agree with you, but the level of violence is no necesary. When i read a thread and from 10 users 5 are insult the singer or the new guitarrist, and all the time the same, all the time with destructive coments, i just don't understand what they want!!

Damn_Smooth Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Metallica puts on the same set list almost every night (lately). Not to mention they cancelled their show in India, which resulted in a riot last week... I did see them live at Summer Sanitarium (Toronto) back in '03 and they did kick major ass though!That cancelled show was hilarious, they cancelled because they didn't want to go on too late. People can bitch about Axl's lateness all that they want, he would never cancel a show because he couldn't start earlier.It was more a safety issue.Pioneering thrash-metal band Metallica was set to make its first-ever live appearance in India Friday, but cancelled due to apparent safety concerns, prompting a near-riot and arrests of the concert's promoters.A full 25,000 tickets were sold in advance of Friday's scheduled show in the New Delhi neighborhood of Guragon. YouTube video shows fans rushing to the stage as arena doors opened Friday at concert grounds in Delhi. Fans pushed and jockeyed for position, causing structural damage to the barrier in front of the stage, eventually driving the barrier to bursting.A mere 2 hours before the concert was set to go off, an announcement was issued: “We regret to announce that due to technical difficulties the Metallica show at Gurgaon has been postponed until Saturday. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. If there is a cancellation, the ticket amount will be refunded,” a statement from promoters DNA Entertainment Networks read.The announcement was met with anger, apparently in part because Metallica was addressing a press conference at the time. Fans rushed the stage and damaged equipment, video showed. Some attempted to set fire to banners. But the fervor never fully took hold and, mostly, fans stayed calm and exited the venue when asked.A statement on the band's website attempted to explain the cancellation, stating, "we were notified that there was a serious question as to whether the show could proceed with regard to the safety of the concert audience." The statement also explains DNA Entertainment attempted to procure a concert permit to move the concert to Saturday, but failed to do so.DNA Entertainment Networks say they will issue full refunds for the 25,000 tickets sold. Police arrested four DNA representatives, including one senior executive, according to an Indian news agency. Police are quoted as saying organizers didn't take the district administration into confidence, not providing a solid enough reason for canceling the gig.Metallica recently released Lulu, a collaboration with Velvet Underground member and general rock legend Lou Reed. Lulu has been met with near-universal critical disdain. A crowd of 25,000 actually tips on the smaller side of Metallica shows: they played to as many as 1.6 million, at 1991's Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow, Russia. Metallica came up through the club scene of '80s Los Angeles, breaking to commercial success with the band's fifth, self-titled album. http://www.nbcwashington.com/entertainment/music/NATLConcert-Promoters-Arrested-as-Metallica-Cancels-Delhi-show-132841028.htmlJust a small difference.Those safety concerns could have been taken care of in an hour or two. It was only a faulty security barricade.That's exactly the reason why the concert promoters were arrested.Somebody had to get arrested. Someone does every time there's a riot.

TiedHands Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ah, seen U2 360 this summer, probably the biggest, best spectacle I've ever seen. 2nd fave band next to GNR, and it was amazing to be sure. They definitely are in the same group, I'll give them that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 "I like the new band better.""No, the old band is waaayyy better.""Hmm, let's use 20 pages of this thread to explore this argument further.

WhazUp Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Its a shame that people feel the need to either constantly put down the new band or constantly throw juvenile insults at former members (Slash specifically). I personally love all incarnations of GNR and even though I perfer the old lineup I don't feel the need to put down current members just because they aren't Slash or Duff. All that I really care about is the fact that things are looking great for GNR's future - the Eddie Trunk interview, Axl seems to be in good spirits, and the setlists are great.

Blummas Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) What a stupid threadDon't like GNR? Go to Justin Beiber's forum.What the hell is wrong with you lolIs true, the thread is stupid if you want to talk good about guns n roses, but if the thread is to insult axl rose or new guns n roses is great! This is mygnrforum to guns n roses fans or i'm wrong? What the hell is wrong WITH YOU! axl_on_drums you are a guns n roses fan or what? If you only like the old band, there are a part of this forum to talk about that!ORIGINAL GNR PeaceI never said the thread topic was stupid, I was talking about the thread in general, the way every topic around here spawns into the same old debate that's been done a million times..Why would I have a problem with somebody supporting New GNR, I love them as much as the next guy, one of my favourite bandsSorry, but is annoying to participate in a forum where are all the time criticizing the band, is strange and unusual.Sorry if i not understood.We are not critisizing the band we are changing thoughts and sometimes it gets a bit harsh. You can always leave when it's getting hard to understand and when you do so, don't forget to close the door. B)thanks for the advice but i don't have problem to understand, and i really think that sometimes your "it gets a bit harsh" is use for people that want to throw shit, is my opinion Edited November 1, 2011 by Blummas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnRDuff1 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nobody puts on a better show WITH better music. Sure you might get one or the other that beats out Axl n the boys by a little but seriously not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 USED to be the greatest Band in the world. The rest of the world gave up on GN'R about 15 years ago. But if you're a fan, It's a great time!I will enjoy seeing Axl live for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) They are probably the greatest live band in the world. This lineup would need an actual album to be the greatest band in the world though. Edited November 2, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightProwler Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 They are probably the greatest live band in the world. They would need an actual album to be the greatest band in the world though. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band along with Pearl Jam edge out GNR as best live band in the world. You guys think 3 hours is long? Bruce played 3 hours 35 minutes In Buffalo last time I saw him. What a band. And no Im not dissing Axl and the boys because they are up there too. Just my preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I've seen Pearl Jam 3 times, and I'd take GNR over them any day, except Rock In Rio. However, Pearl Jam and Bruce easily edge out GNR when it comes to changing their setlists. Edited November 2, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yea, PJ and Bruce are very good at changing their set lists. I think Bruce played around 150 + songs last tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcalldp Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Izzy was a far more important factor to song writing in the old band.Beyond the listed credits, and even going by Izzy's solo work. You get a pretty good idea of what Slash contributed, and it wasn't a small part either.Izzy's work tends to be pretty classic rock, nice chord structures, but not dangerous in the slightest. You can tell it took someone like Slash to give the song claws.A good example of this, is the song It's So Easy, it's not an Izzy song, but the approach to it was very mellow, Axl tells the story that Duff and West originally wrote the song as an acoustic "Hippie Ya-Ya" song, and that Slash raped it into the monster it became. He has no writing credit on it, but his input is all over the tune.I would have to say that I think Duff contributed more of the punk influence acknowledged by the band in the early days, more than any other member. I think it was that punk influence along with the young adrenaline filled angst years that contributed the most bite. Slash fit to it of course but if we're talking influence, I think Duff would be an underated contributor to that sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're a fan, It's a great time!I will enjoy seeing Axl live for the first time.I don't know, I think the world gave up on ROCK in general as the biggest music. To me, That's the only reason GNR (current) couldn't pull off the 'Greatest Band in The World Crown again. But then, the world love a come-back and future opinions are based on current performance, it's a show-me business. If they keep up the way they are, put out a new album at the right time and this next year or so is a good time (music is bottomed out AGAIN) then there could well be a rock come-back and GNR could very well be leading it. Nothing is impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
