guitarpatch 546 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Say what you want about it, but the nonstop touring has floated/created a ton of jobs. Not just within the GNR camp. From beer vendors to local union work and all the way to jobs at Live Nation. Not that it was at all altruistic, but it’s contributed more to this country than what Treasury Secretary thinks 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That’s if some of those venues are still open for business. It sucks 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Then they all had varying degrees of success with solo projects. Then they toured successfully for years and just had a brand new album released last week.

I'm not remotely a country fan, and I've heard a bunch of times about their new album. I rarely hear a general peep about GN'R since the end of the NA tour in 2016. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, he did call himself King Dick. I'm fairly certain he's always been honest about being an asshole. I mean, really, it's fucking Axl - he's been calling people assholes, cunts, dicks, and various other references to genitals and orifices for the entirety of his career. If you don't know what you're getting with him by now... Link to post Share on other sites
The Real McCoy 1,355 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Any political lyrics on a hypothetical new album will be my jumping off point more than this children’s book has been. Axl has gone way too leftist for me at this point. Not my political cup of tea, and I say this as someone that generally leans right wing but is pretty liberal in regards to social issues. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that it probably wasn’t the best choice or words. Personally, I would have gone with the word “idiot” or “moron“ to describe any cabinet official who would promote the idea that Americans should travel around the country in the midst of a pandemic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
