Vincent Vega Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) For all who do: Why do you support and/or accept post 1997 Guns N' Roses as being "Guns N' Roses"? I mean besides the legal technicality aspect of it. Is it the same band to you, if so, why?Why do you support a band which has only released one 14 song album in the 15 years of it's existence, which has toured the same album for over 10 years now?How is this band Guns N' Roses, to you, if the only holdovers from the AFD/UYI era GN'R are Axl and Dizzy?Why do you continue to praise a band who seems to have no intentions of releasing a new album any time soon?For those who feel New GN'R is "better" than Old GN'R, would you explain why you feel New GN'R is superior to the old?Opponents of New GN'R have made their stance very clear time and time again and have explained why they don't feel "Nu GN'R" is "Guns N' Roses", and have given their reasons as to why they "bash" New GN'R. But I don't recall ever seeing new band fans giving clear responses to these sorts of questions. Edited May 28, 2012 by Indigo Miser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haters Gonna Hate Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I think they aren't really Guns N' Roses I mean the new band is good and all but still I can't see how people like the New GNR better than the old GNR. Yeah people say it's Axl 's vision but he changed it like 4-5 times. Also I think CD is a very good album but some of the songs are just and some are but I can't see how people like it better than AFD which got them big in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you waste your time here on the earth on a forum about a band that you dont even like? Thats like I would sit and write crap on a Jay-Z-forum and just write shit about how i dont like him.

saber_ Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Bands evolve. Van Halen, Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, The Misfits. When Matt Sorum joined the band, I was bitter about it... when I was 12 years old. Then I got over it. And through all the other lineup changes, I accepted them (except Gilby, he's a toolbox), and accepted the band. It's really not that complicated nor difficult to understand. Some people will just never let go of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetness Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I don't support them "as Guns N' Roses" But Axl Rose is my favorite singer of all time, he's written some of my all time favorite songs, and overall I just think he's an awesome human being. He is a human being though, he has his flaws, but he wouldn't be such an interesting character without them. I'll support whatever he's doing, but I don't buy this band as Guns N' Roses at all. This is a completely different band that means something completely different to me than the guys who put out AFD, Lies, and the Illusions. I just kinda play along I guess...

These bands kept being productive, they consistently released material through their lineup changes, GNR have not. That makes it a bit more difficult to see the lineup changes as positive thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
