Crash Diet Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It seems some fans have lost faith in one way or another. Why then, do those people still follow the band? It's quite the riddle. And one which vexes me so.why not?Who are you to tell people what they followed or not?Not to mention the "faith" word have several meanings...

Crash Diet Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It's like a train smash. I can't look awayI also like ancient Egypt. Should I not be interested just because it doesn't exist anymore?Oh don't gimme that shit. You flaunt your lack of faith. You rub our noses in it. You take out your frustrations with Axl on other fans. You exert a concerted effort to spread your distaste for GnR. But your answer certainly is interesting. You seem.. how shall i say.. a little defensive? lulzSo put him on ignore and quit caring what he thinksNo. I'm going to call him out for what he is and challenge him. I don't ignore people (with a button). His behavior pertains to the thread. If you don't like it, leave the thread. =)Okay, but you constantly whine about posters who "lost faith" or whatever your stupid diagnosis...You are not better with the constant whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wicked Hand Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I can understand someone who has become a fan of this online community but lost interest in the band. What the fuck is wrong with that? Nothing. And why some make it thief daily mission to talk down on those sharing their opinion is q mystery to me.Popcorn, u mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustycage Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'm here because I want to be. This is one of few sites left where differing opinions are allowed. I have a better question for the OP and those who wonder the same thing:If you do not like people being less enthusiastic and would prefer them gone, why not just go to the place where that kind of censorship is in full force?

shotgunblues1978 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I always get a kick out of the people who say they're here because they love the old bandOK, great. Yet hese people spend about 0.1% of their time discussing the accomplishments of the old band, their music, etc. and 99.9% of their time bitching about the current band? The reality is that many of these people just want something to complain about and these forums are their only place to voice their opinions.I understand the people who legitimately are interested in hearing new music from the current lineup and/or the CD era lineup, and are disappointed that new music does not appear imminent. I don't understand the people who have zero interest in music from any lineup that doesn't include Slash yet still hang out and post regularly just to piss in the Cheerios of anyone who is legitimately interested in the post 1996 versions of GnR.

Bobbo Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It's no secret I'm not the biggest fan of what Axl and his employees are doing. But in all honesty, to me, and the majority of people, GNR are basically a thing of the past. I know legally they exist, but in essence they put out their last album of new material in 1991 for most. I specifically come here because most of my friends in the real world aren't nearly into GNR in depth like I am. Most tap their foot to SCOM and shit, but none of them really care beyond that. I come here to chit chat with those that are as in to them, in depth, like I am. I still think Axl's incredible from a performance perspective, I just don't agree with A LOT of what he's been doing since the mid to late 90s. But still I like to keep track of what has become of my favorite band in terms of what Axl and Slash and co are up to these days. And discuss it with those who care as much as I do, one way or the other, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 10) This is a GNR FAN Forum, members should keep this in mind when posting.If you aren't a fan anymore, or are only a fan of 1994 and/or earlier, there are other sections for that.What I don't understand is people who DON'T LIKE GNR ANYMORE that spend SO MUCH TIME bothering those of us who still like GNR.The only explanation is a bitterness and jealousy that causes bitter ex-fans to try to spoil the party for those of us that still enjoy the band.Just as a sidenote: You're right about there being different sections for people to talk about the old band/a reunion, but at the same time I don't think it's hard to understand why people like to complain here. You have fans passionate about the old line-up, and it's not really as easy as saying, "Hey, go play over there." That's the rules, and we try to enforce them, but I don't sit here and scratch my head and wonder why people aren't sticking to the "Old Guns" subforum for discussion. While I may not approve of their actions, I understand why they do it, and I don't really get indignant about it and ask why they're so intent on whining because to me it seems like a fairly obvious answer. But thank you for posting that anyway, and I will remind people that those subforums DO exist for discussion of the original line-up. Having said that, we're also currently working on a bit of a restructure of the forum (see thread in Support) and will try to make things a bit clearer and more concise.

GibsonLP Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Why start a thread that lures people into talking about the subject which you apparently don't want them to talk aboutI think you guys feel so low and bitter because this is the only place you get to talk about the new band. Out in the real world people are willing to talk about the original band, but if you bring up the new band people just roll their eyes and laugh at you. And you feel scared and hurt and want to protect your opinion from the big outside world where everyone else thinks you're just a bit of a freak...

Rustycage Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Why is criticism of the new band always considered discussion of the old band? You can be a harsh critic of the new band and not bring up the old band. It seems like that's what you want it to come down to so you can downgrade the criticism.

The Wicked Hand Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's easy to pigeonhole pollsters into axl slash,'old band new band.But I, for instance love both bands, obviously the old band more so.That been said I dispise the way axl runs this current band and will post whatever I wantAs long as it is in the rules.

GibsonLP Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's hilariious when I question something Axl does and I get told by some people here that it's because I'm jealous and that I love and agree with everything Slash does. The truth is that I don't own any of Slash's solo albums because I don't really like the music. Some people just can't see that it's possible to not blindly agree with everything that Axl does.

GibsonLP Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 i disagree with a lot of what axl does, but i post here because i am a current fan of GNR. if someone doesn't like GNR anymore, they should post in one of the sections devoted to former members and old lineups.I'm a current fan of GNR too...Just not much of a fan of current "GNR". So there can be no talk of former members and old lineups? So that would mean no talk of any recorded music (all albums have former members and lineups). Basically the only thing you would be able to talk about would be last night's show and a mythical followup to that album I can't talk about because it had former members...Why are you people so afraid to read of opinions that differ to yours? Next thing you'll be telling us we can't post on the forum if we're wearing a t shirt with Slash's face on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
