Time to come up with something new I agree with you. for example, with some new music, or interview, or some competent action by whoever is currently competent in GNR camp (I'd expect probably nobody).

I dont want to "eliminate" anybody. I just do wonder why some people spent their lifetime in a forum of a band they cannot stand for years. That makes no sense for me. If it does for those people, I am the last one who cares. Jesus ... It is comedy. Nobody is sitting at their computer going, ''f*ck, sh*t, this band are garbage and I hate them'', i.e. in a negative frame of mind (I passed that stage years' ago). We come here because this stuff - the band, the fans, the social media - is too hilarious. It is a soap opera. We are probably having more fun than anybody. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone here, with a bit of maturity, can think that these guys sit down and let others decide everything about $$$?? It is their work, it is their image, it is their music that's being cashed on and people here are so gullible to think that just because they are artists they don't care about how much money they make? How many of you do not have a clue about what income you have monthly, yearly? How many of you do not know how much your patrimony is? Unless you are a very irresponsible person, immature or 12 years old, there's no way in hell these guys (professional musicians in their mid-50s) are clueless about the businesses they are involved with! Completely off subject, but I have no idea how much money I make. My wife gets my paycheck and I get a generous allowance. Keeps us from ever fighting about money and what I choose to spend mine on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I appreciate the soap opera of GN'R, even all the bad decisions and fuck ups. It's highly entertaining. But what that has got to do with trolling is beyond me.

DieselDaisy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Trolling is leaving controversial comments to trigger a reaction, not laughing and ''taking the piss'' (as we say in England) at something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think that ''taking the piss'' (as you say in England) can also be considered trolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To troll you presumably need a potential active ''opposition'', an ''enemy''. You are basically triggering people into arguments, turning them into opponents. Taking the piss is often aimed at passive, even inanimate, targets. It also lacks something of the premeditated malice that trolling entails. Taking the piss is ubiquitous. You can buy a pint of milk and start taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It cracks me up how each and every news item/update on the band is mercilessly pilloried here with contemptuous ridicule. I don't know if there's another band with a fanbase like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Smashing Pumpkins 'reunion' I've been frequenting one of their fan forums, and it's crazy how much the people there hate Billy Corgan and everything he does or say gets ridiculed to such an extreme extent. He can't even post a message on instagram without half of the people there going ape shit. I stopped reading that forum. All the 'negative' people on here seem like choirboys in comparison to those people, I kid you not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yeah netphoria is pretty hilarious but if you want to see a fan forum where they really hate the band, check out the Jane's Addiction board aintnoright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
