If you guys really feel that way about Axl, why do you bother with Guns N Roses anymore? That's a serious question, not a diss. Not trying to attack anyone or fight with anyone. I'm just legitimately curious, because if I felt all those things about Axl (and seeing as he's the only original member left) I'd probably not bother with GNR at all. I'd most likely be looking for a Slash/VR/Loaded or similar site or forum.

I never understand the logic of points of views like yours.
You can be a fan of someones music but not a fan of the person. You dont have to agree or like everything someone does just to be a fan.

Just take most gnr fans who dont post on these boards.
They all love AFD but think axl is a dickhead, another good example is oasis and liam.  Oasis fans love the music but hate liam, its the same thing.

If you want a place that is all sunshine and dandylions there is a place for you, and that place is Jarmos, 99% of the people there are kiss asses and if that is your thing then go read that board.

This board and gnfnr board allow people to speak their dislike for things that Axl or any other band member does, it does not mean we/they are not fans, it just means they are fed up with the BS.

I mean seriously, lets say Gnr tours again this year, you really think its ok to call it the chinese democracy tour when we have been having the chinese democracy tour since 2002??

No, BBA. Those are your feelings and you create many accounts on many boards so people will think that every GNR thinks like you do. But they don't. And no matter how many accounts you create, you don't dominate the GNR world.

A person can like Axl as a person and not be an ass kisser. Most of us are not. There are other points of view besides just your narrow-minded one.

^^ Of course, its faux outrage and typical.

The notion that people cant dislike Ron or what he did because Ron is held in sacred regard is bollocks as well.
KillingVector has been very vocal about his distaste for Rons actions at mygnr and noone has had a problem with his point of view. But then, KV is capable of communicating at an adult level...

If someone talked to your mother or sister that way,  you really wouldnt take offense?

Honestly no.  If some random person says some nasty shit about my family members on a message board, I could care less.  It doesn't effect me in the least.  ESPECIALLY if it was done in response to me spreading false rumors about them.  Then, it'd all be fair game.

If it's done in person, that'd be a different story.  But in this case, no.  Fire away.

Faldor how long have you been on Gnr boards? When BH and Ron were in the band for YEARS people would complain about them.  And I have not said anything about Ron until he had his baby name calling rant, and I said it was wrong and he could have handled it better.

I've been around since 2002 or so off and on, but more frequently from 2006 on.  So no, I wasn't real active during Buckethead's time.

I seem to remember you starting a convoluted thread about Ron a few months back, which seemed to serve no other purpose than to slam him.  If I'm mistaken I apologize, but I've always had the imrpression you've been a a long time Bumblefoot hater.

Edit - I just read some anti-Ron threads you started, and my inclinations were proven true.  You have been spreading your hate for Ron for the better part of the last year, at least here.  So to say you only started since Ron's recent MyGNR blowup is, how you say, completely and utterly a lie.

Thanks for playing though.
