bangit Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I want to see the original band (or at least Duff/Slash/Axl) once in my lifetime. Enough for me. Then Axl can retire.... or do whatever he wants!This makes me think back to when i started browsing this board in 2003 (didn't sign up until 05). I actually didn't know that GNR still existed! Didn't follow music that much really back then apart from Aerosmith and loving GNR old school stuff. My goal back then was to see AXL & NUgnr perform live as i never thought they would tour again! Especially after the cancelled 04 Rock in Rio performance. I traveled to Lisbon from the UK in 06 to watch rock in rio. (this was a big risk as i had had no idea if he would actually show up!) To think that we may be on the verge of seeing some kind of reformed lineup is nothing short of unimaginable to me. Awesome times!Welcome to the forum!

GNRfan2008 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 He is only 53... He is not retiring anytime soon IMOHe has been semi-retired for a long time. It would not be that big of a surprise if he is done after this reunion tour. I just hope somehow we get a studio album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been the most wasted talent in music over the last 20 years with such a small output in the studio. Slash, Duff, Izzy have put out plenty of stuff during that time. Adler might even have more studio material than Axl during that time period, which is crazy and sad.

Awesome times!Welcome to the forum!Thanks all I'm following Axl-GNR from 2005/2006, heard early demos of CD leaked, watched gigs (old-era, nu-era 2001-2015, RIR 2001 shocked me ahah) on youtube and so on... but without so much interest.I like more Slash's work... Fast explanation: i watched 2 times Slash live (SMKC), 0 times nuGNR.Impossible reunion was a fact.. Yeah, impossible.But now...... my goal is to see original members (or sort of reunited lineup) live!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asia Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't think Axl is retiring anytime soon. Why would he? What would he do? He's not engaged in anything other than music, he's still relatively young, doesn't seem to have any other big passions, he's much too young and lively to lay on his ass for the rest of his life. That his work tempo is as it is (and has always been) is one thing but that doesn't mean he wants nothing at all. Weird that people get such ideas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 There should be a separate thread for spoiler discussion tomorrow until the show actually airs.

Also how would that stop others from posting in any other thread?Shut you devices down and turn them on after it airs is the only sure bet.

I won't hear about it even if word does leak out since I won't be online from tomorrow afternoon until I watch the show.I probably wouldn't trust many spoilers that come out since I doubt there will be many Forum die-hards at the tapings.

The Bridge School thing in 2012 was a total embarrassment, so was Rio 2011, and there are plenty of terrible 2014 performances floating around YouTube as well. If he can get his shit together the way he did in 2010 for Duff, it will be miles better than what Vince has been doing for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
