They did have the couch onstage for the acoustic songs they did - four or five of them IIRC. They did that at the show I attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't any news about Axl and Hoobastank other than him wanting them on tour but they're not one hit wonders, they've got 10 albums out and they sold a lot, wiki tells me they sold more than 10 millions album worldwide and i'd catch them on rock radio stations from time to time, they aren't mindblowing to me but they have a very respectable carrier so i'm not surprised Axl could like them.

I only know that one very popular song but I had no idea they were a big respectable band. Sound pretty poppish utterly commercial to me....

I never even noticed him thanking them in the CD liner notes (wtf?). Tbh, I don't know what to think about it. I like that song (The Reason), but like you, I always thought they were just a one hit wonder as well. Never heard anything else by them and didn't know they released 10 albums lol. I can see how Axl might relate to these lyrics though. Unpopular opinion: The chorus is about Beta/TB and the rest of the lyrics are about Erin, Slash, etc. 1 hour ago, killuridols said: ffffffffffffffff uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu @Andy14 you know I'm trying to put this thread back on track for today and you're shitting all over it Back on track from what?

Unpopular opinion: The chorus is about Beta/TB and the rest of the lyrics are about Erin, Slash, etc. Yeah, go check your album booklet, they are there and I always gave a WTF to that. Would love to know what is that Axl likes so much about them to the point of being a fan. According to MY wikipedia they released 5 albums (not 10), most of them in the early 2000's and last one in 2012. But they did sell 10 million albums.... well, I guess they came out still during a time when albums could be sold that easily. And they apparently are more of a post-grunge, nu metal band, in the same line as Linkin' Park (now that makes sense as to why Axl was into them). Here are other popular songs (that I never listened to) with lyrics that remind me of the things that ended up in Chinese Democracy: Crawling In The Dark I will dedicate and sacrifice my every-thing For just a seconds worth of how my story's endingAnd I wish I could know if the directions that I take And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing Show me what it's for Make me understand itI've been crawling in the dark Looking for the answer Is there something more Than what I've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark Looking for the answer Help me carry onAssure me it's ok to Use my heart and not my eyes To navigate the darkness Will the ending be Ever coming suddenly?Will I ever get to see The ending to my story? Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark Looking for the answer Is there something more Than what I've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark Looking for the answer So when and how will I know? How much further do I have to go? (have to go) And how much longer until I finally know? (finally know) Cause I am looking and I just can't see what's in front of me In front of me Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark Looking for the answer Is there something more Than what I've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark Looking for the answer Running Away I don't want you to give it all up And leave your own life collecting dustAnd I don't want you to feel sorry for me You never gave us a chance to be And I don't need you to be by my side And tell me that everything's all rightI just wanted you to tell me the truth You know I'd do that for you So why are you running away? Why are you running away? I did enough to show you that I Was willing to give and sacrifice And I was the one who was lifting you up When you thought your life had had enough And when I get close you turn away, There's nothing that I can do or say So now I need you to tell me the truth You know I'd do that for you So why are you running away? Why are you running away? Is it me? Is it you?Nothing that I can do To make you change your mind Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that I can do Is it a waste of time? Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that I can do To make you change your mind So why are you running away? Why are you running away? (what is it I have to say?) So why are you running away? (to make you admit you're afraid) Why are you running away? 16 minutes ago, Lumikki said: Back on track from what?

I can see how Axl might relate to these lyrics though. Unpopular opinion: The chorus is about Beta/TB and the rest of the lyrics are about Erin, Slash, etc. Most likely their inclusion in the "thank you" liner notes doesn't have anything to do with this particular song (it's not improbable, though). They may have had only one song that can be called a "hit", but as @giuls said, they have had a relatively notable career (4-5 albums) and they were hyped as a good new rock L.A. band (I don't know why, from the songs I've heard there isn't anything special about them -and I find them rather boring), so maybe Axl just liked them. Or maybe it's because they have referenced GnR as one of their influences and they have covered Civil War. They had also toured with Velvet Revolver and it seems that they didn't get along with Scott Weiland (they even wrote a song about that): http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/hoobastank-singer-slams-velvet-revolver/ so maybe this is why Axl appreciated them and @Andy14 is right, it was about Slash again Edited September 18, 2016 by Blackstar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pity like that @Andy14 will have to face me and respond some questions tomorrow ----- According to Blabbermouth, Hoobastank were approached by "Axl's people" in 2002 to open for nuGN'R, and the Hoobastank talking shit about VR/Scott was in 2005. He likes them because he likes shitty music too. Months ago I listened to something he said he was listening to, in the 80's, and it was utter shit so... All those lyrics make sense to me, with the timing of things going on, from 1998 until 2006, Axl was not in his best state of mind. Cancelled tours, the new lineup not well received and other problems. He was depressed and lost in how to carry on with his life and band. ------ 8 minutes ago, Lanna said: By the way, Erin's Instagram account has suddenly disappeared.

Fernando, his wife and friends had a seat in the upper bowl and Beta was somewhere close to the stage. They've also imo been monitoring Instagram, for a few weeks. I touched on it when talking to Frey, that they're all over IG at the min cos there's something they don't want Axl to see. And I think he got sneaky and has been on it and that's freaked them out. I know that sounds bad lol but it's possible. There was no in particular video, it's just an overall impression I got of him last night. Also, a couple of reviews i read on the AC/DC forum said Axl was very quiet for him at MSG and hardly any interaction with the other band members.
