AndreCC Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Don't you just wanna go back to 2006?Back to those Hammerstein shows, where a new album seemed to be just around the corner.When surprisingly we got to hear first hand the songs before they came out! Nothing was expecting that which made it even more cool!When there was this cool vibe about the band being finally on the track to make a good career with the new members. Hell i miss that!

Dean Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thats the thing though, the album wasn't just 'around the corner'. Had you been told in 2006 of what you'd prefer - The album being out for a few years and constant touring or a fairly strong 8 month tour and then Axl going into obscurity again and not hearing from him until 2009, I'm sure you'd be happy with the current situation.

drtydane Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I made the trek to attend the last show. It was the first time seeing axl in four years and he sounded/looked great. I really do think he is on medication because his fire seems to b gone after 2010. Beta and her kids take over the band, and all of a sudden axl is a giant pussy with no fire in his stomach and I don't think that's a coincidence.

magisme Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) I was at Hammerstein, so I'd definitely go back to see and feel that again. It was the first time I had seen Axl live. I was also at Philly 2002, but we all know how that turned out.But if I'm choosing a date to go back in time to for this band, it's well before 2006. Like 20 years.

Black Roses Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I just want to go back to 2001. Best newGNR lineup ever, Robin's ridiculous hair style reminds me of ancient Chinese hair style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I would go forward to see which came first. The end of the band, or a new album. I would be much more surprised if it turned out to be a new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Good thread. It definitely was a more exciting time. Axl was popping up and talking about the record coming out, he was touring, the was momentum after 3-4 years of hiatus, leaks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think a lot of "fans" here should go back to 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisRoyalSweetness Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 i think it was easier for fans to still believe in axl's vision or plan for gnr before CD came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 i think it was easier for fans to still believe in axl's vision or plan for gnr before CD came out.True story. I wasn't sure, but I had a sort of blind faith that Axl would pull it off. Then the leaks came out. Then the album came out. It's been downhill from there.

AndreCC Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was living in Seattle and i went to all the Hammerstein shows. It was pretty surprising that the Leaks came along with it. I only got to know songs leaked a few days before the 1st show. It was an amazing vibe and without Buckethead the band looked cooler and less out of place.It's true that the plans for releasing the album failed, but in the end we had the leaks, so that ended up covering that fact, and it ended up being the greatest year in GNR History since the break up.I truly believe that if stuff didn't have leaked, we would still be waiting for the album, or maybe it would have been released in 2011 or last year. I made this thread because i feel that we as GNR fans now, we're stuck with no way out. We got to know from Bumblefoot that aparently the album is not coming soon, neither he knows if there's gonna be a new album. And on top of that, we know for sure that there's not a change we will have any leaks in between to compensate for that. As it happened in 2006/07. I don't think that there is anything out there to begin with, as Axl learned his lesson and did everything he could to lock his "vault".Which leaves us to remember those great times we had in 2006.

Flayer Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Yes, back to the good old days of waiting for Chinese Democracy and arguing over whether it's coming out this year or never. That would be a refreshing change of pace. Edited February 8, 2013 by Flayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No. After 2002 Finck was horrible. I'd like to go back to 1991 when Guns was the best band around the world but if that's not an option then let me go back to 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I would like to go forward, but really miss Axl's 2006 looks. Would like that one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
