was it Axl who said that poverty was what kept them together as a band?
I've always believed that.
They were all so different, hence why they were so powerful when aligned to the same objective (stardom? enough money to never be poor again?).
Once they were rich and powerful, they didn't need each other, so Adler was disposable and Guns N' Roses, to Izzy, was disposable as well.
And so on untill Duff left in 97.

when/where'd bumble say this??
i'll believe it when i see it of course, BUT tommy's been there 14yrs & knows enough not to say stuff that has no chance of happening... or does he??
i just dunno...if i hadda hope i'd hope it's new material/a live release rather than more [north american] shows.
but i am hopeless.
Bumble just spilled it here (watch from 4 minutes on):

I would think of secret or short-notice annoucements of concerts to create buzz and (I HOPE) a new setlist and pointing to a new album... If not, there's no need to do a theater show... If it is to just continue touring and proving a point (CD), then do the full blown production.

Man, I reckon and praise internet and all its benefits but so much has been lost to it.
I used to love "The Record Store" and the whole experience of shopping there. But the internet didn't kill that, big box stores did.
Yeah, the difference may be geography. I'm from Brazil and here we went from record store to torrent, there wasn't a corporate chapter in the middle of it.

I'll say this and I'll be fine if I get a shitload of stones thrown at me, since I'm the new guy and stuff gets complicated with the things I'll say.
Internet KILLED home entertainment for me.
I was a long time collector of vynil albums, bootlegs and then cd's, also when dvds came around I collected them since I wouldn't have to throw tapes away because they were demagnetized or with mold inside of it.
What the internet did?
Well, there was no *rare* albums anymore. Ever since Napster, all you had to do was narrow your search approprietly and voilà, there was your "Covering Them", Guns N' Roses import bootleg that you've paid 50 bucks. For free.
I remember to this day when I bought the collector's edition 12 Monkeys dvd. Another import, 59 bucks. sure, it wasn't available on the internet but internet made the prices of dvds become so low, that my *rare* edition was thrown at 4,59 on walmart.
To this day, my 5000 albums collection (including cds, vynil, bootlegs), 450 VHS bootlegs (mostly GNR, from 85 to 93 and some Waters/Floyd and Tom Petty) and 2000 dvds (officially released concerts and movies) was reduced to 50 albums (GNR discography on all formats, Tom Petty, Floyd/Waters, some classic), 20 dvds (concerts, mainly) and no bootlegs anymore.
Why? It's all digital now. It doesn't occupy physical space, that's for sure. But there's no fun anymore.
Last time I bought an album? 2004.
Yes, I did not buy Chinese Democracy. Why? Goddamn internet killed it for me. The leaks all over the place, and I had the album (with covers) in October of 2008, all downloaded in lossless format from a private p2p place.
I was intended to buy it, specially the version Axl mentioned on the forums. It never came out, so I never got a hold of it.
Music and movies kinda lost they appeal to me as in home entertainment and I blame the internet. So I don't spend much more money on it anymore.
Surely I go to concerts (watched GN'R six times the last 11 years, since Rio III, will travel to Europe in June to catch Tom Petty returning there), I go to the movie theaters once or twice a month but I don't feel the urge to buy and have things at home anymore.
If I want to listen to a specific song/album/artist? There's grooveshark, pandora or even youtube. Want to watch Guns at MuchMusic in 86? Youtube. No more vhs or dirty import cds anymore.
How I miss them...

Well, I guess in two weeks we'll know what's up ahead to be the next thing!

Great, thanks for welcome!

Where's the fuckin' balls Duff?
When Axl wanted to stand up to the Azoff's of the world, where was the industry?
When Bruce wanted to stand up to the Azoff's of the world, where was the industry?
When Pearl Jam wanted to stand up to the Azoff's of the world, where was the industry?
That's right. Hiding like a bunch of fuckin' pussies.
This.
