Had nuGuns been inducted

[blackrose87]

Had the current version of guns been inducted into the RoRHOF along with the original guys would Axl have shown up and would he have performed with Slash, Duff and Steven??

[Damn_Smooth]

Probably. It still wouldn't make the hof relevant in any way, shape or form though.

[izzydoezit]

why the hell would anyone want to induct nu Guns? For what?

He probably would've been "sick" or something. I doubt he would have shown up.

Though you amongst others would be saying the HOF was the greatest thing in the history of the world if that were the case regardless.

Don't be putting words in my mouth you silly little ape-child. Stick to what you're good at. If you ever find what that is.

[CivilWar07]

Good question, not sure he would have bother IMO

[blackrose87]

just a hypothetical question. I imagine a similar letter would have been written as the one he produced before the ceremony and he wouldn't have shown.

don't kid yourself, if Axl went that wouldn't be part of the debate here on mygnrforum

Yeah, because people would magically gain an influx of respect for something that they knew was a joke beforehand just because Guns was inducted. :rollseyes:

One of us is kidding ourselves, sorry to say, it isn't me.

Guns were inducted! However if Axl had been there with his band on his terms then yes certain people would do just that! If Axl was in favour of the HOF then you would be also and you know it!

The only thing proven here is that you're too brain dead to know what you're talking about. Since you've already proven that in 98% of your posts, it's just a reaffirmation really.

The only thing that would have changed by Axl showing would be that you would be praising Axl and crying harder for a reunion.

He would. And he would've performed. Wouldn't be in shitstorm he is right now. And everyone would be happy as both nuGnR and old GnR would've been inducted. Just my opinion, tho.

There would be an uproar if the new band was inducted! People would be so pissed off! I would be a little upset too.

Why? I don't get how sharing merit with other people makes your own less valuable...

I love the new line up, but... what have they done to deserve to be in the HOF?

If it had Axl's approval I'm sure a certain group of forum members would do just that, the reasonable posters who don't attach themselves to either "side" are a very thin minority around here.

I think the odds would have been better, but some of the things Axl brought up would have still been questioned.

Many would question that indeed but, as CD is, in my opinion, a freakin' masterpiece, I'd be a little suspicious by defending them. I agree they were not essential for GnR's historic/legendary status but they're still part of GnR. I think part of the 'mystique' GnR currently has is because of Axl's controversial moves with GnR since 1998. Even if the buzz around GnR is MUCH inferior to what it was back in the day (which is kinda inevitable it would happen, but not this much), the controversy around GnR helped value the old line-up in a way.

I don't know. I'll just use the easy way out: Josh Klinghoffer was inducted. :xmasssanta:

You are neglecting the fact that not every Axl supporter supports every single thing that he does.

The only reason I support Axl is because of the music. I think that he was the most important member of the old band and I think CD is way better than anything put out by any of the alumni. That doesn't mean that I agree with what he does in his personal life. I do feel he is a grown man that should be able to make his own decisions though. His decision on the hof could not have made me change my opinion that the hof is nothing more than a joke, no matter what he would have done. I don't form any opinion of my own based off of what anyone else thinks.

The hof has quite a few people to induct and quite a few people to kick out before I will ever give it acknowledgement as anything more than a disgrace.

It would be like winning the Superbowl only to be told you had to settle for a draw! It's not the new band's achievement simple as that!

There is no competition between the new band and the old band. And a draw isn't a win. They'd still be winning in the HoF no matter who's inducted. I don't really see any harm in inducting nuGnR, it's just my point of view. Of course their importance to music is nothing compared to classic GnR, I see that. NuGnR does not deserve because of what they did for GnR. But they are GnR today, and I think it was inconsiderate of Green Day and the HoF of not even mentioning the part of GnR history after Slash and Co. left the band. But more than anyone in nuGnR, I think Gilby should have been inducted, just as Matt Sorum was. I understand he did not play in UYI but he toured with GnR on of their best periods. He was essential for GnR in the UYI tours after Izzy left and he was on Spaghetti.

No actually I'm not, I'm referring to a specific group of posters that you often associate with. I'm well aware of Axl's supporters who can still think for themselves, I consider myself one of them.

I'm with you on the RNRHOF 100%, but lets be real, if Axl attended there wouldn't be a need to debate its legitimacy. It would be far too interesting for anybody to be talking about that in every thread, it kinda becomes irrelevant when that much of the original members are in one place, and we wouldn't have the typical ass kissers trying to validate the decision not to attend.

There is no reason to validate it right now. A man made a decision. That is the whole truth of the matter. I see no reason to cry about it.

exactly.

There is a core group that defend almost everything Axl does, dislikes anything that Axl dislikes, and feel its their need to attack anybody who says something negative about Axl.

Smooth you typically agree with these people, and you get pretty insultive to people you disagree with.

But I have seen you not worship Axl 100% like posters like angeles and Ali do.

You honestly don't think that if Axl would have showed up and played, that the Ali and angeles type posters would change their mind and would praise the hof instead?
