Caught_in_a_Coma Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) By big three, I'm meaning Axl, Slash, and Duff (anyone have a better nickname for that trio?)I know the most obvious thing is "buy a ticket to show your support", but beyond that, this forum is a big deal when it comes to GN'R on the internet. Axl held a Q&A here, right?Could we put together some sort of "Thank You" card for the core 3? It doesn't need to be a card, just some sort of message that expresses happiness for them, gratitude for the reunion, and something to wish them luck. I feel like the media might pester Axl and Slash too much with "so what exactly happened between you two" type stuff, and I think dealing with that will be hard. In response, I'd like to just thank them for doing this, and let them know we think it's cool they're friends again. I don't need all the details on how they reconnected, and I hope they know they have fans that feel this way.This might be a dumb idea, and it may not deserve a thread so I understand if this is locked/moved.

Subtle Signs Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) As in take out an ad or whatever those fans did 15 years ago,which most likely cost a pretty penny? No thanks. I'd sooner give my money to charity and I'm sure the three of them would rather we do that as well. They have people flying in from Bumfuck,Iowa all the way to Singapore. That's thanks enough.

Best case scenario, it gets picked up by Blabbermouth causing us to get calied "Mulletheads" "Butt Rockers" and "Dad Rockers" by posters on there, however,it might get to Team Brazil who quadruple our donation for a total of $2,500 to a worthy cause. 1
Subtle Signs Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I'm in for the first $10. Maybe other Forums can match whatever we raise. You can do it Gunners. Start returning pop bottles and raiding your couches for change to donate to our not yet chosen charity. Edited January 31, 2016 by Subtle Signs
The Glow Inc. Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I'd wait to see how the first performances go before thanking them... 1
Towelie Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I think their bank statements will be thanks enough. Edited January 31, 2016 by Towelie 2
Live Like a Suicide Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Yeah, i'm sure they already get the message of gratitude. There's no need to make a card or some shit.
EvanG Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 No way... send a thank you card to all the people that actually make the world a better place and are out there trying to make a difference.
sonofnazareth Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) The 'big three' are just people like us. There's no need to send them a card expressing gratitude for the things that they love doing. We have already done that by buying the albums/tickets. If you meet them in person, thank them individually. Edited January 31, 2016 by sonofnazareth

Towelie Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Axl Rose has done very little to deserve thanks of any kind from the GNR fanbase.
Archtop Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) send an e-mail to the band listing where every attendee is flying from and how much the weekend is going to cost them, I think they will quickly grasp how much they are appreciated. Edited January 31, 2016 by Archtop 1
yourcrazy Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I agree our support is thanks enough. I'm flying in from Michigan and spending quite a bit on tickets. I am thankful and happy they are doing it and j think my ticket purchase makes the statement for me 2
Ace Nova Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Like others have said...the thank you from the fans will come when they sell out 60,000 seat stadiums for the next 2 years.
ZoSoRose Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I did thank themBought 3 tickets, airfare, and a hotel room 2
alfierose Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I'm willing to pitch in for a new tour dressing gown for Axl.

Tom-Ass Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I think we need to have a discussion on the big 3 I don't think there is any argument that Slash and Axl are the big 2 but I personally value Izzy more than Duff.
