jekylhyde Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 As much as I like Axl, that's kind of embarrassing. I mean, you're the only original member. You should at least try to fake being interested to front the band. If only the rest of the guys could fire Axl and hire Baz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoking Baby Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The only time nuGNR posted an official group of the band was during the heat of the HOD, if I'm not mistaken. Seemed like they were desperate to remind the world: "Guys guys, this is GNR... Not the band being honored for their amazing debut record. These 7 guys and DJ Ashba are the ones who deserve the honor".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 They're not Guns N' Roses, they're in a band Axl decided to call Guns N' Roses. There's a difference there. HOLY SHIT, when did this happen? Was it just? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-GenerationX Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I saw that...its pretty lame and I love the new band Its a meaningless photo not even seen by the majority and forgotton by all but a few.

gunnari Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Axl more a "night person" meaning that he stays up late and sleeps during the daylight?

I just don't think he really gives a shit, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have things in life we do without loving them. And yes, some are for business reasons. You suck it up. He can't be bothered. He's just so rock n' roll, you see.

yourcrazy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hard to say. I think it's ridiculous that he's not at the meet and greets and hardly ever with the band for photo's or promos. He went thru an extraordinary amount of trouble to retain the GnR name, you would think he would put a little more care in promoting and moving the band forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) What's so wrong about that picture? DJ ashba and bbf wrote that song together. Everyone knows that. Edited January 23, 2014 by niceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimMorrison4 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) It does look stupid to have 7 guys accepting an honor(?) with the name of song they had nothing to do with writing and the name of the band they joined 10-20 years after the song was released. Axl wanted the GNR name so bad back in the day, but can't be bothered to show up to represent the band. What else does he have to do? Record songs? Ha.

Cosmo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sometimes I think Axl doesnt want people to even know who's in Guns N' Roses properly to avoid fan attachment to members so qhen they're gone it won't generate any kind of negativism. Hence not having official group pictures, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I've been of two minds about this in the past. Sometimes I think it's just ridiculous that Axl isn't there for all Guns N' Roses related business. Other times I think maybe the idea is to get the other guys faces out there. If Axl were there, maybe it would just make him the focal point, thus pushing further the "It's just Axl and some other guys" thing. Oh, fuck off. There's no way you believe that Axl hides out because he doesn't want to steal the spotlight from the hirelings. You know what he could do if he doesn't want it to be "Axl and some other guys"? Release some original music with those other guys. Rocket surgery! Edited January 23, 2014 by magisme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 No ordinary person can look at that photo and think Guns N Roses.Remove the song and band references and show the picture to someone. You'll get a "Who the fuck is that?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said in interviews that he doesn't agree with paid meet and greets and told how he felt about charging fans for things like that. Meet&greets are usually arranged by the promoters, record companies, or management. Not the artist himself.

If Axl were there, maybe it would just make him the focal point, thus pushing further the "It's just Axl and some other guys" thing. That is a good point. He knows that he'll be the center of attention if he shows up.I think the reason most people think that picture is embarrassing is the fact that none of them were part of Paradise City. Imagine if Slash rejoined the band this year and started posing with pictures that reflected TWAT or Catcher or Better. That sounds utterly ridiculous..........but it's what the current band is doing, and what a small minority of people on this forum think is cool and an OK thing to do.Hard to say.

Why not hang out after the show for an hour to chat with fans?And are you saying that Axl doesn't have a say in whether or not the paid meet/greets happen? That he has NO say in it, and that it's all the promoters and Team Brazil's doing? Seriously? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
