Trin9498 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm going to see them in Vegas on 5/25. I've been a huge fan since 1987. That being said, I'm not trolling. I just do not understand why anyone stays in the band. Can the money be that good? You'd think that since there are like 7+ guys besides Axl, someone would say "enough is enough. We are a cover band. Not a real band" Sellouts???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broskirose Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 They get to travel the world, play big (less and less by the year) shows and meet fans that know their names. I don't think that makes them sellouts. They all seem to acknowledge that it's Axl's band at the end of the day. They make some money and get to play buttrock for a living. If they're fine with that, who are we to judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 there are like 7+ guys besides Axl Only if you count Chris's alter ego Neil as another person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Any instrument player (note I didn't say musician) would enjoy getting paid lots of money to visit exotic places and perform with Axl Rose.They also get to feel like quasi-celebrities and get knee-deep in South American clunge.

It just happens that the old material is more popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
