Do you like it?" before hitting 'release' on merchandise. Part of the whole 'the fans are not the enemy, but actually the people who give you their money' radical approach. I've heard other bands adopt it. Speaking of that, in my Fictional Axl Rose stories, my Fictional Axl often says,"We're working for the Fans." 😏 You and my Fictional Axl are on the same page. 😏 Edited November 18, 2023 by Karice 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoMw94 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 None of what's being suggested here is remotely realistic. A manager of a band like Guns N' Roses isn't like being the manager of a store. They're facilitators and enablers, not controllers. What would I do? The same as anyone else: what I'm told. The second you start demanding and controlling will be the second you get shown the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let's bring back the guy who was the first to admit they didn't need to release an album because albums don't matter anymore. He was perfectly fine with it being a nostalgia act until they kicked his ass off the gravy train. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is playing keyboards in Hard Skool, which Caram buried so far in the mix you can barely hear them. So you're right, we haven't heard much from her in the band. But I found her "Regards" collaborations with Bucket and Brain to be very substandard and unimpressive. Certainly didn't have any cool melodies like the songs Pitman co-wrote on CD.

Until she makes a legitimate ground-up contribution to a GN'R project, comparison is impossible and pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say yes to EVERYTHING Axl wants, it might not be such a good idea. If Axl says something like,"I want to shave my head bald and dye it neon blue!" And you say yes to that and he actually does it, YOU would get the heavy criticism for telling him yes! 😳 Axl could also be testing you to see if you are a yesman who will NEVER disagree with him and he might be put off by that. It could be a lose lose situation if you say yes to EVERYTHING Axl wants. 💡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 In no particular order: 1. Fix Slash’s live guitar tone. 2. Stop tarnishing the legacy with tat like kids books and tonka trucks. 3. Build relationships with the fan base. Create working groups to help get direct feedback on what fans want, to positively influence merch, archive releases etc. 4. Properly archive the recordings. Having a management team that have never heard of infamous demos is a joke. Fully archive everything. 5. Show respect to former members. Whether people like it or not you can’t airbrush out years of history. Get Bucket back for a few live guest spots, just to give him the chance to play TWAT and Better solos live once. Also shows respect to former members / brilliant musicians. 6. Play arenas. 7. Convince Axl to sing lower on certain songs. 8. New album of entirely new recordings. 9. Release the Chinese Democracy vault in a boxset format. 10. Official live “bootleg” series, respectful of all lineups (similar to DP or Kiss). 11. Start band interviews on radio, TV etc. Proper interviews, not weird ones like the China centre. 12. Get Brain or Matt back on drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front man has two meanings. The meaning in reference to Fernando I was using- a person used as a cover for some questionable activity. synonyms: figurehead, front, nominal head, straw man, strawman. type of: beguiler, cheat, cheater, deceiver, slicker, trickster. someone who leads you to believe something that is not true.

Nintari Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Get Axl to have surgery/training on his throat and get a trainer/nutritionist to force him to slim down so he can perform better. I'd then pay Izzy whatever he wants and swap him in for Richard. I'd also swap Steven in for Frank, can Melissa and Dizzy, because they are pointless, and tell everyone to release a down and dirty classic rock album. We would release it within the same calendar year. After that, tour the world. Done and done. Edited November 21, 2023 by Nintari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimming down has nothing to do with his performance. He's currently as fit as he's ever been since 2006. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
