3rd Wheel Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) 2002-2005, or the "soon is not the word" era.2005 was baaaaaaad. That was radio silence. We got nothing. I remember being a perusing guest from mid-2004 until mid-2005, when I finally joined. This board somehow managed enough conspiracy theories, debates, IRS leak analysis and "does ChiDem exist" threads to make it to May 2006, but man ... looking back, I have no idea how we filled the time. Fans were getting more and more antsy, too. It wasn't like 2003, when we still had some residue from the 2001-2002 tour and got the IRS leak. Then 2004 with the release dates and counting Tuesdays and GTA: San Andreas. 2005 was just nothing. The idea that "Chinese Democracy does not exist" was plausible. So was the notion that Guns N' Roses was finished and Axl would never be in public again.2002 through January 2006 -- when he gave the "fans will hear music this year" quote -- fans weren't given any reason to stick around and wait. We did, though. Edited January 7, 2016 by 3rd Wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 09-15, and I've been a fan since 1989.DJ Ashba, Axl appearing to be a shadow of his former self, the rest of it...fucking awful.At least before all that (mid 90's-2007) there was an air of mystery and excitement, which was pretty strong around the 06-07 tour.

DieselDaisy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) 2011-14. At least with the silent periods you could speculate on things improving, but what we were presented with in 2011-14 was a dogshite cabaret act featuring; terrible vocals; staid setlists; an out-of-shape frontman; a dreary supplier of cheese in DJ Ashba; awful management (Team Brazil) cocking everything up, and shameless examples of selling-out such as the Budweiser advertisement. It is as if Axl just decided he didn't care anymore. It is shocking how overnight it was, as he was still producing quality vocals as late as 2010, then immediately in 2011 - Rio, yellow rainjacket - it became apparent that the guy had given up.
