My own opinion is that it's sad to see a United States President making fun of people or not wearing a mask at a factory producing masks while Live and Let Die is playing. I find that much more inappropriate and offensive. Just my own two cents on this. I don't disagree, but I believe it to be way, way worse to try and capitalize on that, no? 12 minutes ago, Stiff Competition said: the most dangerous F'N one in the world FAM! I thought that too but the AARP cards might've taken that title away. Hell, even the dust particles known as The Rolling Stones can still record music while playing live constantly...a novel concept! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) No ones happy about this new shirt on facebook. Only so much more of this sort of bullshit before a majority of fans abandon the band. Now its also upsetting the casuals and there goes your stadium tours and ticket sales out the window. Edited May 13, 2020 by vloors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that sounds fairly dumb and nonsensical. Ah, wouldn't be great if just once they released something decent, that those of a rational mind might wish to own?! "Covid 45" is a play on "Covid 19" Edited May 13, 2020 by nambis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangit Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just seen this on Twitter. Fucking ridiculous. This band and management are a disgrace. Politics shouldn't be involved. Been a fan all my life, shameful moment for GNR. Sums up the fucking idiots in charge. Kind of glad London has been postponed. Was really questionning my decision to go anyway, no new music, all this politics shit... easy decision now. After at least 10 shows in multiple countries i've had enough of this set up. Embarrassing that they think this is a good PR move.... This Fernando character is a fucking idiot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 To be fair Facebook comment sections are comprised mainly of conservatives. Not the best metric to gouge a reaction. But Twitter is pretty lefty and I've heard the reaction wasn't great there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With zero changes in the setlist, I'm not sure I needed to spend money seeing a lesser version of something I've seen before anyway. Things like this are driving me further towards taking a refund for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayTooManyOstriches Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 We'll be going on 12 years since GNR has released a studio album. They could release a new album. They could go an easier route and re-record Chinese Democracy like Journey and Twisted Sister re-recorded their music, which apparently Taylor Swift also has plans to do. They could go the easiest route and release what remains of the Chinese Democracy sessions or whatever was supposedly going to follow The Spaghetti Incident. Instead we're getting a picture book and an idiotic shirt. I will always enjoy GNR's music, all lineups and albums included, but fuck this band. May Fernando always be referred to as Fernandon't, and may the internet meme the shit out of them. Anyone with Photoshop skills, now is your time to shine and work out your frustrations with the shitshow known as current day GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlconcerts Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 So who is buying as a novelty? I absolutely have no idea what this shirt means even knowing the alleged context.

GNR has been “political” before this exactly, GNR has never shied away from politics. I mean GNR has always been one of the most anti-establishment bands ever. If that's not political, I don't know what is. Funny to see people get their panties in a bunch about this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look through their social media over the last decade.... how many tweets etc relate to things other than music? In that sense I’m just going to say that Axl only seems to write about a few things. 6-8min Steph Seymour ballads and what he sees in society is a big chunk of it. The guy wrote a song about mass shootings on the last record There’s a lot to not support here. Being political doesn’t seem as if it should be a line in the sand to draw here.
