I completely agree they got their fare share of criticism back then and backlash over OIAM and rightfully so, lyrically it’s completely unacceptable. What I’m saying is 30+ years later they still gotta be an easy target for a new age “woke” crowd? I also never insinuated people were apes back then, just want to make that clear 😅 Were you around back in the late 80s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'd prefer. Otherwise bring on the raincoats, the cringe, the woke mental midgets getting offended. May as well get a laugh out of it than be in denial or rock back and forth in the fetal position. funny bc this might be the cringiest post i've ever seen here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been told by numerous friends, family members who experienced the 80’s. So they’re all lying? Also YouTube is a great source of history with videos from the last 10 decades(ish) that’s all lies too? I can comment and I will comment.

If you don’t like what I said you don’t need to reply Ok my friend, continue to tell us about a time you didn’t live through and some of us did. I’m sure you know more than us that were there….. I’m telling you there was a lot of backlash to them in the 80s. Much as they were loved, there were also questions of misogyny, racism & homophobia.

I literally agreed with you on that?! 😂 You’re so negative about my comment that you’re clearly just reading between the lines and choosing argument over discussion. That’s fine man, sorry my comment rubbed you the wrong way. I’ll only discuss GNR 2004 onwards because I wasn’t a fan before then so I can’t/shouldn’t have a say or any knowledge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
©GnrPersia Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 This is just a general comment. Not pointed at any specific person. It's very interesting to see some new people who have joined this forum after 2016, to argue over stupid stuff and claim they're the most loyal fans to Axl and they say people shouldn't comment or say negative stuff about Axl. Where were you in NewGnr era to show your loyalty to your beloved Axl? as far as I remember these people were not even approaching online forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your issue with the use of the universally understood term "woke"? I'll hear you out. Let me answer your question with a question - what in your view does "woke" mean specially? If it is universally understood, hopefully your definition doesn't delve into the rather reductive and boogie man type of rhetoric that those on the rather right wing side of things use it as, regardless if you are right wing or not Edited March 6, 2023 by WhazUp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 To a degree, I agree that there are annoying "woke" people. But if someone points out misogyny or racism or sexism that clearly exists (or existed) - that's not woke. That's how it should be 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking everytimes someone's passing by his house. You don't really have to respond to each and every comment by people unless you're paid by the forum to do so. 2. Under 16s were not allowed in GNR concerts in 2006 and 2009 unless accompanied by parents. So I'm surprised you could go to GNR concert by yourself back in time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your issue with the use of the universally understood term "woke"? I'll hear you out. It's probably your lack of understanding of its meaning. It's a shame and weird that 'decent, good human' became the term woke, and then its even weirder that the right wing decided to jump on a term and abuse people that basically means 'decent, good human' So every time you use the word work just replace it with 'decent, good human' for example 'In a perfect world, decent, good humans wouldnt exist.' is what you just wrote. Just because it's been hijacked by a minority of far left extremists who want everyone to be vegan, pan sexual and living off the phat of the land, does not mean it's basic meaning is not still 'decent, good human'. and the right wings use of the term sums up the IQ in the right wing on humanity.
