Personally, I've been checking out updates, pics, videos etc etc on HTGTH or mygnr lately.

There are limits to how interesting discussing if DJ is ripping of or imitating Slash can be...

The relaxed moderators in here have all kinds of positive sides to it. But it do seem to attract some people who thrive on confrontations and negative things happening to Axl/GNR... Ergo the current silent downtime.

When an incident happens, its something different and worth voicing an opinion on.
If you think the diehard fans your rolling your eyes at wouldnt be in here like fly's on shite, if GNR played a new song, released a video, uploaded live footage or live audio, gave proper interview, released the approved artwork, launched a website or mentioned the elusive 2nd album in a direct manner, instead of throwing a smokescreen around the subject when its mentioned - then yer aff yer heid!

Of course they would be here like flies on shit!

If gnr played or released a new song they would complain about how great Slash would sound on it or that DJ is OBVIOUSLY cut and pasted in on an OBVIOUSLY 10 yrs old tune!

If they released a video they would complain about how FUCKED UP it is that after all these years we only get a live-shots-only-video!

If they uploaded/released live video footage they would complain about what a rip of it is cause we've seen the setlist hundreds of times on boots!

If they mentioned the elusive 2nd album they would prolly complain about...ehhh...let me see.. NO WAIT! That would prolly work!

This is such fucking bullshit Naltav. The only one complaining here is you complaining about what you think others will complain about.  So fucking what if they played a new song and somebody said how great Slash would sound on it. At least they´re discussing it. Like it or not Slash and Gn´R are joined at the hip so get over it. Also it´s not about certain diehards thriving off the negative shit. It´s like others have said, yourself included there´s only so many times you can discuss incident free stuff. That´s just a fact of life. When things go off without a hitch it gets less attention. It´s like the really good kid in school who goes about his business, is never late, gets good grades, never gets into trouble,  nobody remebers that kid but we all remember the shit disturbers and there´s more to discuss when reminiscing about them. Same goes for Gn´R or any band. Controversial subject matter will ALWAYS garner more attention and not just form thsoe who "thrive" off it as you put it.  It´s just staright up common sense dude and not some ploy by certain members to pounce only when shit hits the fan

Ummmm..... it´s been almost 2 full days since anyone posted in the main GnR section..... WTF?

Besides if you want to see a 24/7 cheer squad for GNR there is already a site that caters for that market.

So talk about something positive instead of complaining that others like to complain and aren't.

I'm stoked the band is doing so well and sounding so good these days.  BUT, I think it's utterly ridiculous there's absolutely no indication of them touring the US anytime soon.  I love watching the youtube videos from time to time, they're great.  Don't get me wrong.  But I'd much rather see it live for myself than watch "This I Love" from halfway across the world for the 100th time.
