Long time fan of GNR and AXL!!

I read these forums and it makes me wonder why half of you even post here. Here is a idea, you don't like GNR , go away!

Axl more or less saved my life (not really but you know what I mean when it comes to music) and he puts on a great show even till this day.

Don't like it, LEAVE!

I don't feel that there are THAT MANY haters -- there are probably just a few of them, while the rest who also are subsequently being labeled as haters are actually only critiquing Axl's performances just so that he WILL WANT TO IMPROVE and take reign of the best frontman throne again.

I don't think there are haters. The comments are more akin to constructive criticism (albeit often frustrated so less constructive), especially when the band continually let people down in their opinion. How else are fans meant to let the band know that they aren't happy with the current direction?

Everybody who posts here wants at least one thing from the band which indicates that they aren't haters in general. We all have different reasons for liking GnR and want different things (whether it be a reunion, new album, whatever) - doesn't mean people are haters or not correct in their particular opinion. Forums are a place where every person (including yourself) is allowed to have a view. People expressing their views on whether the band is/isn't heading in the right direction is something that should be encouraged IMO.

You can still like the band but think that Axl sounds like shit at the moment and the current tour is pointless. Doesn't make you a hater. Your post doesn't really make sense - objectively anybody posting here has an interest and some form of liking for GnR.

Polarizing people as either haters or nutswingers is stupid, there can be a middle objective ground. Why even bring it up unless you want to stir up pointless controversy?

Shouldn't you take your own advice? If you don't like this forum, why don't you LEAVE?

Why not post on a forum that you enjoy?

HTGTH and the band's forum don't allow anything negative about Axl and are 24/7 Axl worship - so why not go post there?

Or better yet, why not start your own forum where you can dictate what everybody can and cannot post about?

And rape jokes aren't funny. Because people don't like the same music that you do, that means they don't know what good music is? What an arrogant and immature thing to say.

I think people tend to worship nostalgia. It's more about them than it is Axl/new GNR. Chinese Democracy is a complete and utter masterpiece. It's such a shame that so many have failed to acknowledge it's brilliance simply because it's a different guitar player under the hat. That being said, these last 4 years have really tested my patience. I think the current lineup puts on a great show, but it's the same show every time. I think Axl needs another record (or two) to really cement his legacy and justify his decision to not reunite with the old lineup. I'd really like to hear new material, but if GNR is to be nothing more than a nostalgia act then he should really just bring back the old lineup (-Adler). The current state of affairs does not do the GNR name justice in my view.

Most people you probably think are "haters" are probably just genuine fans of the band who are just really disappointing in the lack of GNR even trying to reach its full potential

I couldn't agree more. I think this lineup can truly be great if given the chance. As I said I think they put on a hell of a show. If I were to watch any of the last few canadian dates for the first time I think I'd be blown away. The problem is I've listened/watched every show since 2009 and they're all essentially the same. I think Axl and the band are too good to continue on cruise control. I think it's past time Axl let this lineup prove itself on record. I think he still has something to offer and I think the GNR legacy deserves more.
