Been part of the GNR community for long enough.

As I said I've no issue saying that TB have fumbled many fan interactions, and they do fall short of the expected standard of professionalism from time to time. But to say the fanbase is blameless is just wrong.

Yes, you do seem rather familiar

To your post, I say nay haha. Lol. 

But yeah, it is what it is. We've dealt with this for years and we will continue to. There's entire forum dedicated to hating this forums, it's users and the leadership here because we're "too lenient" on GN'R or we're "obviously paid by TB" to only allow positive comments about GNR. 

Then you have our other friends who create alt accounts to agree with themselves about the fact that this site is full of haters, only allows negative topics, only allows negative comments and are the reason for the bands relationship with the fans. 

If I'm being totally honest, it's quite tiring after having dealt with it for so many years. I very much enjoy when posts like yours allow me to genuinely have a good laugh at the situation

How can you tell if someone is an alt or a completely different person?

 

I don't want to be accused of being an alt

In my mind, the Chinese Democracy era truly ended with his exit.  And with him, all creative endeavors within GNR seemingly also came to a lurching halt, the likes of which they still have yet to recover from, even with the more recent inclusion of Slash and Duff.

 

Check this out!

He's such a cool dude -- great player. Honestly him and Fortus could have made for a cool band... three guitarists is lol. 

You would think a guy like Axl could just sit with him, Fink with his acoustic like in that video, and they could hash out some stuff! Too bad they couldn't get out of their own way. 

 

Like Axl could have sang some menacing shit over this exact riff... boom we got one song down:

 

Clean riff a minute later... an intro for song two. CD2 starts now!!!!!!

That demo of Going Down (and OMG and Silkworms) is from 2006, but yea if we ever get more CD tracks I kinda hope Bucket and Robin are still on them.

Do we know that? I don't think it's from that era (I mean the mix, not the recording). I mean, wasn't this leaked with some Ashba instrumental songs?

It was leaked with some Better remixes and Blood In The Water. A "teaser" of the Ashba instrumentals, TIL and other remixes, OMG and Silkworms was also posted around the time Going Down leaked, but Going Down wasn't really part of that same "batch of songs" if that's what you mean.

From what I remember, MSL claimed that Going Down, OMG and Silkworms were some of the songs Ron was working on when he first started touring with the band. There was a rumour that Atlas was also among the songs that MSL got, but since it never leaked, who knows (or cares, at this point). The quality of the original leaks was also quite different from the remixes and instrumentals, and they do seem like early takes.

I can't think of any reason why the only info to be gotten from this band comes from the managers reddit profile... 

If this is information that he can talk about, then either he should do an advertised q&a on reddit, or use gnrs socials... it makes no sense to bury information. 

Like I consider myself clued in, but this took a bit of effort and you guys had posted links to the thread. 

It's not professional. it's also crazy that he keeps referring to problem fans... they have "problem fans" because they labelled them that and decided to double down instead of reaching out and offering an olive branch. 

Now, would be a great time for Axl to jump on here and do another chat. Letting Fernando be his mouthpiece is not damage control, he's actually making things a bit worse. Now.... I know Axl has called a few forum users cunts😅 so I'm not saying he will be much better but it's a start.

He already did an AMA on reddit last year. Just looking at it now there's nothing of major interest and very few GNR related questions.

Just a few things to add to the Fn’ando’s recent Reddit posts:

- "The band is doing what they can to address the public". I don’t understand. They said nothing until recently, yet the fact the shows were cancelled by the governments had been known for a while. If they were waiting for TM’s statement on refunds, they could have said so. Like, "sorry, the shows have been postponed, and we’ll update you on the tickets status". But they didn’t communicate at all. Their social media suck. There. 
But he wants to "reassess their posting ways". Great, please do that.

- He says he wants to amend the gap between the band and the fans, via e-mail. Well, sounds like a nice move, although I’ll retain certain scepticism if I may; after all, suggestions were posted right in the very Reddit conversation, and if TB wanted to do anything, they already must be aware of tons of things the fans wish for. 

- Says they need to figure out a way to "bridge the gap" regarding bootlegs. Funny statement, considering what they’ve (not) done so far and how much time they’ve had for any such activity, especially these days. I don’t know, man. 

And as usual, "the shutdowns were done without GN’R’s knowledge or direction". Square one. I always remember that Beta’s funny statement "we don’t know who’s doing that, but it will continue"...

In general, although there seem to be certain brighter hints in this convo (the mail, the suggestions), it doesn’t really make a particularly hopeful impression on me; I’m still quite sceptical about it, as much as I’d like to be proven wrong. 

So I've thought about it again a bit, and it's clearly bullshit. They've had years to figure things out. They've seen numerous posts, questions, suggestions, criticism, etc. They've proven that barely any amount of shit is given, despite being paid for the very opposite. 
I'll always give the benefit of the doubt where it's due, but Team Bra$il doesn't deserve any such thing. If they're seriously completely at a loss regarding how to manage public things after those 20 years in the business, they could have hired people, tried anyone out. Again, bullshit. All they do is book gigs and post crap about GNR's F'n Fam. Fuck 'em.

It's real. It was directed towards an old mod on here, who was spreading the rumour that security (at the request of management) was throwing people out of shows for wearing Slash t-shirts. (there were other issues with her, but the t-shirt thing was the last straw apparently)
