How many people became a Guns fan because Slash quit?

[iftheworld]

Meh. People can bash me. I was never a Slash fan. I was a GNR fan at the time do to Axl. Slash always annoyed me. So when he left and Paul stepped in with Tommy, I became a total package GNR fan.

[Kapitch_77]

I for one was tired of his drunken inconsistent behavior on stage. I must be the only one. I'm not trolling. I seriously feel this way.

I wouldn't say I became a fan as a result of Slash leaving because I was a huge fan since the very late 80's.

HOWEVER I became a bigger fan of GNR when Axl surrounded himself with better guitar players like Buckethead and Robin.

And now with Bumble and DJ the band is so much more professional and respectable.

I laughed.. for real. Thank you haha.

hilarious thread, keep those comments coming lolcano and iftheworld.

Slash never wrote anything good, hell who here likes welcome to the jungle, paradise city, or even the guitar parts to november rain or estranged? thats right no one, oh wait don't they play those songs every goddamn show?

If you became a GN'R fan after Slash left, then you are not a GN'R fan, I'm afraid.

I beg to differ. I didn't become a fan until 2003, but I love both old and new material and both old and new bands.

^{Good God....professional and respectable about a band like GNR?? Hmmmmmm i dont see it.I still see controlled choas and fucken messy performances. isee Axl being late as usual.. i see very little promotion.. i see a show that is 10 years or more older...i see a bunch of guys who dont know what to expect or do... hired guns who are no more part of the organization other than contractual players operating under a completely different concept or idea of GNR . I see great muscians relegated to a nostalgia tour. Do these fuckers ever get together and just jam? Do they ever put anything out there thats been remarkable and noteworthy ? i mean how long does even a casual fan believe anything about this nugnr?}

"There is no rasp on any GNR album" - fan since the late 80's

[Bobbo]

It's times like these you just gotta believe galecano and iftheworld are pure satire. There's just no way I can believe they say some of the shit they say with a straight face.

This one has gotta make the top 5 from lolcano.

Kudos for making me laugh and getting me in a good mood - keep em'coming.

Bumblefoot/Ashba are 'more respectable'. Still have never written a Guns N' Roses song though!

[Coma16]

Someone should make a Paul Huge appreciation thread.

^^^already happened

[izzydoezit]

To answer the question.... So far, the answer is 1. Exactly 1 person was happy when Slash left the band.

Add another 3 for the Brazilian leeches.

[jekylhyde]

In 2003, I became a fan because I heard AFD. Didn't really care who was in the band at the time. I just wished, and still wish, that they would've released more good music. Half of the Illusions is great, the other half is just boring. Lies has two or three good songs. TSI? is horrendeus, minus the songs that Duff sings on. Chinese is pretty good, great even, but still not a homerun.

But those things don't really matter, cause AFD is such a great album. It's all that matters. Not this Axl vs. Slash bullshit.
