Young_Gun Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Have we? I went to both Melbourne shows a few months back and that did little to ignite my passion in a band that has been spinning its wheels for a good 4 years. They have toured most of the major markets more than once and play a stale set list that is full of uninteresting covers, instrumentals and solo songs. Not a single new song has been played live and Axl's voice has gotten worse since 2010. We have now resorted to talking about who is the most intellectual band member of current GnR is. Seriously....

Gordon Comstock Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It hasn't been this dead since before 2006, which is weird to say because things aren't actually dead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I've never been so bored with this band. Axl is putting zero effort into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I wouldn't go as far as saying they been spinning their wheels for the last for years. I think that something was due in 2011 but for whatever reason it didn't happen. UCAP or Vegas should have been the end of the touring cycle (opinion not fact).

Guest NGOG Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That's the problem with the GNR community, the magnifying glass with which we scrutinize the band's activity. This isn't a difficult time in comparison to when we were unaware if GNR continued to exist at all. The best policy is simply to sit back and take what you get as it comes to avoid all of the unnecessary frustrations at what is perceived to be an abnormal approach to things.

Bobbo Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I think it's even more boring than the '03-05 period, but that's just me.At least then, we knew something had been in the works, something new, something we hadn't heard yet.Now, it's nothing more than just going through the motions, and that even wouldn't be so bad if Axl would take better care of himself and his voice. But now, all we have is essentially the same setlist, with very minor and mostly insignificant changes between legs, an consistently inconsistent Axl, and nothing concrete to look forward to in the foreseeable no matter what "side of the fence" you're on.I think it's over beyond the nostalgic touring. The only way I can see us getting new music is if it leaks, or team Brazil milks it after Axl dies. Edited May 29, 2013 by Bobbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more bleaker than it looks now, at least in terms for more music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It would seem after the failed or abandoned plans for a re-release in 2011, at least according to rumors, there was a subsequent attempt to invigorate a process which would lead to the release of a new record in 2012. Which again was a failed, stalled or abandoned policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real McCoy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yes. The inactive years. 2003-2005.I'm not bored. If you are, it might be time to find another band to follow.The constant bitching about the band being active and touring never ceases to amaze me.

ManetsBR Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm sad with the current situation :/What makes me even sadder is knowing that it wouldn't take much for Axl to get everyone extremelly thrilled and excited again, but still, he refuses to do so.
