He doesn't look so particularly different from how I would assume 60-year olds who have lived with excesses, look. I certainly wouldn't attribute his looks to medication. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the mid-2000s seasons of Family Guy the specific reference is pulled from We can say TB are shit at managing a huge rock band without going there - I know I do all the time I think the criticism is unfair. Under TB Axl and Slash reunited, went on one of the biggest tours of all time, have had multiple successful tours after, played and headlined just about every major music festival in the world, and became a money making machine after years of playing small clubs. Last time I saw GnR before the reunion Axl was playing in a casino where bands like Chevelle headline. They have also put out two box sets with personal photos from Axl's collection. Now I'm not going to say they are responsible for all the success the band has had the last few years but they are certainly doing their job. Axl is also clearly happy and at peace with them. For the first time in his entire life he is happy and at peace. So I guess I don't see what the major issue is. I'm sure it's not the management team preventing Axl from putting out new my music lol 3 minutes ago, Nick85 said: I’ve had no words from the first I heard of the jukebox leak, and still don’t.

For example, there is a popular gif/meme depicting Beta as a stereotypical immigrant maid from Latin America, but I think that most of the people who find it funny don't even realize the connotations. You can't surely say Beta looking like Consuela from Family Guy is racist... would the same be said if she got compared to Elton John instead? They're just shite management Edited August 15, 2023 by kanecrescente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayfox Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Heck, the jukebox leak was probably one of the best things for them. On my work computer, which I’ve never looked up Guns N’ Roses or anything. When I clicked the search bar ‘perhaps guns n roses’ was trending on google search yesterday. I’m not even logged into a Google account. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackstar Posted August 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 Well, it was expected that the thread would be derailed into another discussion and debate about TB. It's a recurring topic in almost every thread. But the bottom line is that no matter what each one's opinion is on them, we have to come to terms with the fact that they're not going anywhere. Axl loves them and trusts them to do the job and it doesn't seem that this is going to change in the foreseeable future, so all the "what ifs" (there was a better management, etc.) are kind of pointless. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet the band is constantly being booked for tours, and have played the biggest festivals on the planet – one of them twice – since 2016. Obviously the industry and the fanbase think on different wavelengths. That, or they're doing something right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to what Gibson87 wrote, all the tracks from the locker leaks are being pulled from youtube, soundcloud, etc. There's also an active countdown on a Japanese website (streaming platform?) that leads to a Friday release (local time). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
