From what I've heard, he didn't say anything of substance outside of the fact that he says new music would've been released by now if it wasn't for the virus. That's BS IMO, but it's what he said. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavgnr Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Total BS. The pandemic has served as a convenient excuse for lack of new music in my view. I’ve heard a rumor that Axl has set some pretty high condition precedents for the record which the label have flatly refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen similar, but GNFNR can't really be trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the thinking behind going on these niche platforms and making big statements is? An avoidance of attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there isn't, it's just gossip, which is usually the last thing managers want to get involved in. I can't see how it would ever work out well for Fernando. It puts him in the firing line for stuff not happening that he said would, with very little benefit to him as so few people read or see it.

An avoidance of attention? I would wager that's in part what it is. A balancing act between appeasing the fan base but avoiding the MSM and proper scrutiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfanMILO Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 We weren't going to get a confirmation about the new album on a Discord server... come on guys. But he really did answer some juicy questions and even argued with some fans about how it feels to be a GNR fan these days. It was really cool and I hope it happens again.

I'm VERY sceptical myself. And if it's really gonna be Tokyo 92 and nothing else he deserves every bit of laughter and every pissed off reaction by the fanbase.

From the clips I've heard, it was funny to hear a bunch of people who spend their time on forums and discord trashing TB, to turn around kiss his ass trying to get his attention. Again, I haven't heard all of the recordings but that's the impression I got. Some people did ask real questions but of course, no real answers were given. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Clearly he's the type to get offended when people disagree with him so he'd rather seek platforms of more casual fans instead of engaging with us directly either through the forums or their official website/social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thrown it out there before, but I've always really enjoyed interviewing people and asking them tough or awkward questions, but in a way that isn't hostile. It's honestly quite surprising how much the interviewee usually appreciates it- often because it comes in the middle of a cycle of arse-kissing. I'd love to talk things through with him and genuinely get his opinion and side of things....not that I can ever see it happening of course as I think this site has reached out to him a few times?

We've reached out many times. We've made it clear we're more than happy to help bridge the gap between the fans and the band. It's always fallen in deaf ears unfortunately.

Does he really think he's a member of the band? There is no "we" at all. This guy needs to go. He clearly suffers from severe TPS and a healthy dose of narcissism. Honestly though, if this actually amounts to anything, I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'll believe it when I see it. He is insufferable. The Lebeis family are worse than Yoko! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lying turd, who know's he can just spill out whatever he wants. He's most likely trying to save face for his "within the next six months" crack which was up in...March.
