volcano62 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Jeez some of you really know how to over-react. We just want a new banner. Old band, new band, whatever - I just want it to look good! I brought it up in this thread because I thought it was a good opportunity to mention it - not because we're specifically seeking a banner with the old members in it.Quit making it out to be some grand statement: it's not. The sky won't cave in and the site won't change whether the old members are in the banner or not. It's your forum so whatever. Of course It has to look good who said the opposite?Doesn't mean all of us should be jumping for joy seeing members that have not been in the band for over 20 years.It's a slap in the face to the current guys especially Tommy who's been in the band longer than all of them.And how will this help mending our relationship with the band and management?if a hall of fame fake gnr pic gets posted as the banner then im out of this shit holeI feel your painHOF should be sued for using GN'R name to introduce those musicians. I hope GN'R lawyers are working on that. I am surprised nothing has happened yet. I think there is a 5 year gap between an incident and Axl suing.

This.I always liked the idea of rotating banners or at the very least one with all the members through the years. Hopefully some of the users can put their creativity to use and come up with some cool designs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Of course the banner should include anyone who has been a significant member of the band, old and new.You're gonna need a bigger banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 To avoid confusion to non-die hards it should contain all the current members of the band. There should maybe be another banner for the Side Projects sub forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(eg: Activision)Axl will never sue, because this time he knows that if he sues all hell would broke loss...imagine the press and fans backlash if he sued members from the og band because they were inducted under the gnr name...i mean i would love that he sues hof and company but i think this time he prefer's to simply forget it.

magisme Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The confusion for non-die hards would come in not seeing Slash on the banner, honestly. But yes, proving once again which camp is reasonable and which is not, everyone in the current band should be on the banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Truth be told, I would prefer something a bit more abstract that wasn't just an image of the members or whatever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Do you mean this kind of thing? Or do still want band pics in there somewhere?I would be equally happy with something like that in principle. It should be GN'R related obviously, but doesn't necessarily need the band members.

CoolRanchDressing Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Volcano: google image search guns n roses. That should give you a clear picture of what people are looking for when they think of guns n roses. I know that 20 fans of the new band may be shocked and appalled by this simple, obvious reality. But I think it's the forum can do a better job of reflecting gnr's actual fan base, and not catering to the emotional shortcomings of a few obsessive weirdos who want beta and Fernando to be their Internet pen pals.

Aninha_Hudson Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 This thread is a good example of who are the real cupcakes. You see the Axl worshippers all getting their panties twisted just by the thought of having a picture of Slash in the top banner. Why is that? Not even Axl hates the old guys as much as his worshippers here.Mods, you got rid of a lot of cupcakes and haters, but I see some of the worst cupcakes are still here free to post, difference is, they are on Axl's side.A nice banner featuring Slash, Duff, Robin, or even Paul Huge Tobias would be cool, and a nice nod to GNR's interesting and dramatic history.In my opinion, these intolerant Axl fanatics would be better off in some other message board, not here and thanks mods for not censoring everything.

CoolRanchDressing Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Are there any other Hall of Fame bands whose sites exclude the Hall of Fame musicians to favor touring replacements from 20 years later?
