arnold layne Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It seems like it was just yesterday; making an account on the forum as an excited 14 year old, looking forward to the endless possibilities, the new albums, learning about the band. 2002 was only four years before, but I was only ten and the internet had to meaning to me then. Fast forward seven years and 9,000 posts, I have grown old, bitter and depressed. Just as Axl's Gn'R have grown old and worn, I too have grown old and worn. A few years of prescription and alcohol use has tired Axl out, and I fear I have been following suit as well. Regardless of what future Gn'R and Axl brings, the spirit will live on. Let us cherish those moments we had together my brothren! The past may all we have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Shit, Axl at 21 had no money and was trying to get a band together. I'm sure he'd be the first to say to look after and take care of yourself, don't worry about him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Surprisingly, 2013 - 2006 = 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Not to sound like a nostalgic old fuck (38) that I am, but I truly feel for every genuine Gn'R fan that due to his/her young age will never be able to live the golden Gn'R (and general rock) era of the early 90's. I feel privileged to have seen a UYI era live show - it really was a mindblowing unsurpassed experience that made my teen years more memorable. Sure I've seen NuGn'R in '06 and again in '10 but it simply wasn't the same....no Slash, no Duff, no 'true' Gn'R anymore...

You realize you're comparing yourself to a 50 year old man who's already lived most of his life, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeryen Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 2006 I was in my mid twenties, I was having a bunch of fun, my band was playing great shows, we were writing the best music ive written ever, I had a job that was paying ok... 2007 it all got fucked. I feel as if '08-11, I lost those three years to insecurity and depression.I'm coming back now. In my early thirties. Future seems wide open again.In GNR land though, really nothing has happened. Axl called out the round one, after that its been like a neverending stream of selfhumiliating bad jokes and bullshit.fuck the tours.fuck CD.give us the "too advanced music for an average GNR fan", give us your big guns.Axl, your leaks+already heard live -songs album is out there now. wrong artwork, you tried to fuck the release, went AWOL.... Now put your money where your mouth is and put out some of your million dollar hits and art pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I agree with you in that I am amazed how fast the time has gone. I remember watching those Gn'R performances from '06 after the 2002 hoopla and feeling like, "Wow, Axl is fucking BACK." And I was so looking forward to the release of the record.We all know what's happened since. CD was awesome, but Axl gained weight, lost his voice, and endlessly tours the record.I mean, he was old in 2006, but he was in shape and his voice sounded killer. In retrospect, that right there was the final stand.Gn'R ... they're just a nostalgia tour now. I'm cool with it, I guess. But it could have been so much more.

Guns n' Swedes Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 21 is not old man. Every age has its charm, I'm sure. You may be worn, but that only means you should seek out new things to explore. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
