useyorappetite Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) ^^^ There all like 3 people who "worship" axl in this whole tread and yet half of every single tread i read is a bunch people including you answering their every post. WHY DON'T YOU JUST IGNORE THEM! BTW what did he do last month? Edited February 6, 2013 by useyorappetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't see a problem with Axl doing this as he is leveraging the brand name he owns and his own legacy..I always laugh when people throw the "sellout" word around as these guys have to make money the same as any of us. Who cares if they use their fame to cash in.........What will be funny to watch is the Axl cultist coming to Axl's defense after all the times they called Slash a sellout for marketing himself.......

Who cares if they use their fame to cash in.........What will be funny to watch is the Axl cultist coming to Axl's defense after all the times they called Slash a sellout for marketing himself.......I think there are two real interesting things here.One, your Slash sell-out thing is a perfect example. A small group on here bashes Slash for being a sell-out and only being about the money......then they praise Axl for playing a wedding. They destroy Slash when he is photographed with a celebrity, and talk about Axl not playing that game........but then worship Axl for going to a party that was strictly thrown for celebrities. It is quite funny to watch how every opinion they have is tied to how it effects Axl or Slash.Two..........I agree with your statement that Axl can brand his product however he wants. My only problem would be that he set the bar pretty low with this one. Two members of Winger? Bobbie Brown, not even a band member but a girl who appeared in a couple music videos? That's who Axl is considering his peers????? Rob Beach??? Bobbie Brown???? That's like Aaron Rogers licensing his name to be in a "Great QBs" card set and it featuring Carson Palmer, Gary Hogeboom, Joey Harrington and a cheerleader.If some exclusive card set came out that feature GnR, Zep, Ozzy, Randy, Jimi and Jagger/Richards..........that would be something entirely different. But to put members of Winger and music video girls at the same level as GnR..........I just don't think that is good marketing or a positive thing for the band. Just my opinion though.

dalsh327 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 He could always do a Comic Con or NAMM appearance if it was about making easy money. Like I also said before, do what Rollins and Scott Ian do, talk for 2 hours about whatever and get paid, and he'd get to travel light. Don't need to have a book out to do that.

Yeah but why should we care how Axl sells his brand? All I care about is him making new music and could care less if the sells GnR caskets or autographed cards to make a few extra $$$...Same with Rodgers as I am a huge Packer fan and honestly don't care what the man does outside the football field as long as he is not hurting anyone and it does not impact his play..........I will just never understand the "sellout" mentality some fans have........

Ali Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I would say I'm surprised by how dramatic some members here are being, but I paused and realized what forum I'm on. AliAnd yet you keep coming back with your incessant bitching. Thanks for that. It adds a lot.Yeah, it's so incessant and unending. And, it's not like that was a little sarcastic jab. Nah, it couldn't have been that. And what you did could be described as bitching about perceived bitching. What does that add?AliLet me get this straight...........it's OK for you to complain about what people post, but not OK for others to do the same? That makes perfect sense.This isn't HTGTH or a site ran by the band, Ali. The reason this forum is the largest GnR forum on the net is because people don't have to kiss Axl's ass 24/7 like you and Volcano and a couple others do. People are allowed to have an actual OPINION here. If you want a forum where it is praise and worship Axl's every move, why don't you post at HTGTH or at the band's official site??????Ali, why are you so intolerant of other people's opinions? This isn't an Axl worship site. It's a forum for people to chat about GnR - not just praise Axl and the band's every move. If people like something, they will say something positive. If Axl does something they don't like, they will say so. And that is the reason this forum drawfs the other forums in terms of activity.As for the actual topic............so for Axl and fans like you, the RnR Hall of Fame is an absolute joke and disgrace..............but baseball cards (with bands like Winger) is awesome and a great career move and a great honor for the band? Wow.Groghan,No offense, but I am left to draw no other conclusion but that you don't actually read and fully digest the posts you are responding to. That's the only explanation for the fact your responses to me are filled with nothing but straw-man arguments.I never said it wasn't o.k. for people to complain about what others may post. Just commenting that it was ironic that someone was complaining and saying my post added nothing, when I don't think their post added anything. My post was just a joke at the at-times overly dramatic nature of how some innocuous things are taken on this board.I also never said this was a great career move and a great honor for the band. That is yet another straw-man argument on your part.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you went to HTGTH you could worship axl 24/7 and not read a negative thing about anything he does. Yet you choose to stay here, where people speak freely and honestly. Why is that?And why they spend so much time bitching about what people post and then insulting those people, rather than contributing to the actual topic. And if they think the person is wrong, why don't they have a civilized discussion and show the person why they are wrong - instead of just going into insult mode and Slash is evil mode.

I made a sarcastic remark directed towards NO ONE in particular that Daria responded to. I offered my counterpoint.I did not attack or insult anyone. I never brought up Slash (except in another joke with CR which thankfully he seems to have understood was a joke).Please point out where I said it was not o.k. for others to make "sarcastic comments to people, to bitch about what other people post and to make jokes about posters you disagree with". I don't recall ever stating that.Finally, and again, I never insulted anyone or said "Slash is evil". Yet you bring those up as if they are relevant to anything I wrote. They are not. Hence the fact that I point you are making a straw man argument.AliI don't see a problem with Axl doing this as he is leveraging the brand name he owns and his own legacy..I always laugh when people throw the "sellout" word around as these guys have to make money the same as any of us.
