saber_ Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) This proves again that he doesn't give a shit about the fans.Well that's just like... your opinion, man.He doesn't give a shit about pleasing people whining for a reunion. Sorry that's just the reality. But when you go to a show, he definitely DOES give a shit about the fans. He has put together some excellent musicians in this incarnation of Guns n Roses. If he didn't give a shit about the fans, he wouldn't play any UYI or AFD era stuff. Edited April 7, 2012 by Popcorn's Timbre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudolf1978 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Axl Rose has spoken and he says NO.For me is sad,because i know that this current lineup will not reach (not even close) to old GNR,not in albums,not in shows ( in 2010 was amazing) but it was now or never.NEVER.I know Axl Rose has his thoughts but not reunite old band......and i think is one of the BIGGEST mistake of the history of music.

WarpedFX Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I much prefer the old band but I don't want a full reunion tour. That boat sailed a LONG time ago and it ain't coming back. That being said, I'd love to just see them jam at the HOF just once and at least patch things up. Axl's got his own band that sounds tight with cool, fantastic people with amazing chops. Slash's got his own thing that rocks out good ol fashioned rock n roll, Steven's got uh.. drugs, and a new band. Izzy's got his own thing and so does Duff. I don't think they want a full reunion particularly at least at this point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Axl Rose is interested at all. That would be an insult to everyone, if people truly thought about why the band dissolved they'd see why a reunion would be so pointless.

If he booked gigs but refused to play UYI or AFD stuff, that would be not giving a shit about the fans. Also, don't forget Chinese Democracy moved 3 million to 5 million units. So actually there would be people at the shows. Especially in non-US countries. Every music professional is obligated to play the hits. Hendrix hated doing "Hey Joe" years after it was released, but lo and behold as the encore at woodstock, he broke it out, because he knew many of the fans had come to hear it.

Even the haters on this very forum acknowledge the 3 million figure. The 5 million is debatable. If I had said "5 million+", then you could go running your mouth. I know it's a hard concept for some people to grasp that most non-American countries (except the UK) aren't obsessed with the old lineups.

WarpedFX Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 the biggest "problem" I'd say there'd be with CD as opposed to the other GNR works is that CD is noticeably heavier in that before hand for every ballads and such they were either done in the way that's just easy to boogie to or there are the just good ol rock n roll to'em whereas in CD it's almost like an axl rose journal and they're pretty much all heavy ballads like coma or estranged. great songs, but not something to listen to at a party let's say.

If we get another album, I'll officially wager it sells 3 million or more.Again, most of the non-American countries accept GnR and either don't care or don't mind that Slash/Duff/Izzy/whoever isn't in the band anymore.Chinese Democracy has sold just over 600000 copies in the US? This is comparible to the Van Halen album with Gary CheroneYeah and the U.S. is the most critical of Axl. Whoops. Even without pasting official sales figure links, what does that tell you about how it sold elsewhere? You do know about how South America goes apeshit for GnR, right?
