DieselDaisy 17,701 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I cannot believe there are still some people brown humping this pathetic brand and making fudgy nonsensical never ending excuses. Fernando saw the replies on facebook and elsewhere, got spooked and swiftly added the charity thing. It is as clear as day. It is not a minor thing to omit, the recipient of your $25 haha. ''Is it going into Rose's pocket or a corona charity?''. Not exactly a small detail that is liable to be forgotten! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bitchisback 406 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Some of you guys make me laugh, as if anybody in this band ever gave a fuck about what anybody thought. Maybe you guys haven't been paying attention the last 30 years 🤔 but this band has never shied away from expressing their opinions, and clearly everybody in the band is strongly against Trump. Also fuck Trump. The people who also say leave the politics out of music also make me laugh, as if politics haven't been in music for well, forever. I'm proud of the guys for standing up for what they believe in and not hiding away like some pansy ass pussies afraid to let their voice be heard. If shipping wasn't 10 bucks I would consider getting this shirt 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t forget UMG’s/Bravado whatever it is cut...that definitely isn’t hitting charity. If your tour is canceled and the promoter hasn’t handed out refunds yet, maybe wait on peddling the merch. In fact better idea. Provide an experience and give something back to the fanbase such as something on YouTube. Then post shirt links Edited May 14, 2020 by guitarpatch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Swampfox 382 Posted May 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2020 Coming out against Trump isn't brave. Not when all of Hollywood and the media will back you up and applaud. It's harder today to come out as a Trump supporter than to come out of the closet. Axl is a big fat pussy. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The majority of the comments on fb are along the lines of wtf is this/what does it mean/what "45" stands for. The critical comments are mostly either about the shirt being in bad taste or generally about the band/TB releasing only merch etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m assuming it’s because of that video. I think Trump is hilarious but the shirt is cool. And nobody would get the reference at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About 45 reference, someone linked in GNR facebook "The Urbane dictionary", there is the reference about Trump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the 45 reference is hard to get unless one is familiar with US politics (the media that have reported it so far got it). I didn't know there was an entry on urban dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=COVID-45 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The let all of this happen because of greed, lazyness, ignorance and/ or because they don't care. Duff also posted it to his Instagram stories.

smokingarthur 141 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It appears that this band is open to anything but releasing music, interacting with fans or establishing any semblance of good will.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the next tour will be called COVID-45 World Tour. If it get Axl spitting fire and dedicating Double Talking Jive to Trump, I am in! In all seriousness, I hate trump as much as the next person who pays attention, but this is in poor taste in my book. There are classier and more effective ways to help others out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

axl_on_drums 20 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 A complete sham of a band, total embarrassment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Natty 661 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Simply disgusting shirt/message. This band can t be taken serious any more. So they decided to remove "One in a million" cause they are politically correct now and then release a covid shirt with "Live and Let die" while Corona killed worldwide more people than a war? They could have put "Patience" or "Don t cry" on it if charity was their intention. IF Pathetic. Fernando is a total loser but the other ones are on the same level if no one of the band stands up against this bullshit. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
