This I love is the worst song ever written 

Instrumental is good, but lyrics and vocals make this song unlistenable for me

Live version from 2010 is decent but I can’t listen to studio version and live versions after 2010 are awful, and 2018 and some 2017 ones are extremely awful, just painful

yeah spot on but the instrumental is very abstract to being absurd as well, mimicking the horrid lyrics

Why aren't they doing what we think they should to be building fortune and fame is what you're asking?  Fortune and fame is what we think they should be after?  That stuff that happen to them 30 some odd years ago when the band imploded and some of them barely made it out alive?  I guess they have their reasons.

I was just putting forward a more sympathetic view of the 'money grab' line of thinking.

Because the thing imploded, part of repairing their lives is to make that money that they missed out on over the years. They cant make up for lost time, but they can make up the financial aspect that they all basically sabotaged. 

I just got way too wordy in describing that, as I am want to do. :lol:

So we have established that Rose has done one cash grab endorsement - exhibit A,

We have established that he has a second,

Axl-Rose-Ultrasone-Synthax-Audio-UK-900x

and it transpires he has a third. This watch will set you back £75,000,00 by the way,

We also have seen a multitude of tat sold, beach towels, jigsaw puzzles, etc. These whiskey cubes will set you back an ice cool $55 on the official website,

GUNS_0060_-_Maxfield_Products_-_Whiskey_

Frisbee, $20, 

GUNS_0061_-_Maxfield_Products_-Fuck_Canc

Yo-yo, a whopping 30$,

GUNS_0060_-_Maxfield_Products_-_YoYo_420

This is the band that set the price of their boxset so stupendously high - much higher than other bands like Metallica - that they have resorted to opening up all of the unsold boxsets and selling off the tat individually. Their official website basically solely exists to sell overpriced tat - even the forum is for fee-paying fanclub members only.

With this amount of evidence, the notion that Rose ''does not care about cash'', or is ''not another Gene Simmons'', is such a demonstrably erroneous claim that it is almost offensive.

Would love to see Fernando as a guest investor on Shark Tank/ Dragons Den or any other entrepreneur game show. The regular investors would berate him something furious :lol:

The inventors pitch a hydrogen cell fuel convertor. Water to fuel - clean energy. Big money.

Fernando responds "But have you considered making toy models of it though?"

I think Axl is probably in that place Jerry was, a lot of people dependant on him doing his thing so they have a job.  There's a lot more ways to make money from his name and GNR then out there on the road.  But I think he likes it, gaging by the number of shows they do.  The money's there and it's all working, call it what you will.  You don't really see Axl spending money on himself but he spends it on others.  I don't think he spends much time worrying about money unless it comes up with the business.  It's not really where his head is at.

The implosion happen years ago and was only a small part in their overall lives.  Nobody fell into poverty.  They all did really well.  The only one in repair mode where money is concerned would be Slash following the divorce.  It wouldn't surprise me that he doesn't really care all that much about that.  And then you have Steven.  That would be your stuck back where it was suppose to go.

I don't think they got back together to regain anything.  They're just back together because they want to.  See where it goes.  A lot of people pushing for something else.  There's a danger there.  Expectations, obligations and responsibility, oh joy.

He kinda looks like Keith Richards' and Johnny Depp's love child. That is Tracii Guns, right?

yes, but born as Tracy Ulrich.

and together with Bill Bailey they got fake names and used them to name their bands, which after merger ended up called about their both fake names.

sounds almost like a porn movie story :)

Axl's birthname was Rose, though. Changed to Bailey, then back again. I get your overall point tho lol

Are we meant to believe that this hitherto ''control freak'' is completely oblivious to the Fernando marketing campaign? 

As long as he makes X amount of dollars, he's probably not too concerned with what his bands logo is being slapped onto. I don't think he's oblivious, just complacent.
