See. I could care less how the tours ended up. And I could care less about the fact that an album hadn't been released yet. Once again, the shows I saw between 02 and 06 were awesome.
Your inability to see the humor in what I posted is rather annoying to be honest. I for one can't see how anyone could be satisfied with the whole 2002-2006 era. Nothing fucking happend. It was sucha boring time period for Gn'R fans. If you're happy with a handful of shows great but that fucking sucks for most people who are willing and waiting to fully support a band that in the end did fuck all.
I agree with Russtcb!
'02-'06 WAS exciting to a lot of fans! Seeing GNR out there performing actually goes a long way with a lot of fans! 
Axl even said on TV in '02 about the album: "...I don't know if soon is the word. We'll go in and do some more recording, start an American leg of the tour and see how it goes from there..."
And knowing how long the album had been in the works at that point in time, we knew we only had live shows to look forward to for the forseeable future. It wasn't until '06 that Axl said on Trunk that the album would be out that year, we all know how that went...
So '02-'06 was exciting!

02 was my favorite line up. But, if Buckethead would have stayed in 2006, the album and line up, with Axl's voice (and look) being pretty fucking killer, I say that could have been the best line up of GNR. As a core, the band sounded better than in 2002, imo. They just lost a huge spark without Bucket and Brain.
I really think even CD would have been a different beast.
Different how?
I understand there would be no Bfoot or Frank. But BH and Brain are still on the album. Sure Bfoot and Frank added some stuff and replaced other stuff. But I can't see any real drastic changes to the album.
Live, it would be a different beast... Hell, BH had fans dressing up as him back in '02.
That's kinda what I consider a reunion, BH and Brain back in the band! Wouldn't bother me if that happened...

Today if we asked Axl he'd probably say he'd rather retire than play with them, and he's already proven money won't change his mind, but IF and it's a massive IF, circumtances ever changed and he WANTED to hang with those guys, if they really got back together as a band, it wouldn't be half assed and it wouldn't be going through the motions. they wont be doing it for money, it would be for the pure chemestry they've always had together, and it would be truely amazing I'm sure.
Oh and Ac/Dc kicks ass too....saw them three times this year...i'll grant you their live show is a well oiled machine, but they love what they do, and it's a killer night out. And Black Ice has a few killer tracks.
You're right, it is a massive IF. And if they all actually wanted to work together, from what I've heard from VR and Loaded, all things points to that we would get an album not unlike the UYI fillers. And after listening to the masterpiece that is Chinese Democracy, that would be a dissapointment.
No doubt an AC/DC gig is a fun night out. Never seen them live, but I would go if i got free tix. But a new album from them is like ordering a BigMac, you know what it will sound like before you hear it. To me, that's just boring and predictable.
I like artists who challange themselvs and the listener...

I didn't. Only your need to... oh what the hell, you should have gotten it by now, Buzz. Read my posts again. You don't strike me as being THAT slow.
Well, when you keep questioning why I am the way I am, I'm going to tell you. So yes, you did.
You have officially made it to stalker level. I believe at least half of your posts at this site are either about me or in response to me. Time for you to find a new hobby.
I will try!
But there's prolly not that many people here who gets hired at a Fortune 150 company without a face to face interview....
So chances are slim! Sorry.. But I will try!
Take care!

Fans not wanting to see the AFD-lineup "going through the motions" is very much understandble to me. Like someone mentioned, it would most likely be for the $$$ and not from the heart. Sure it would be huge. 80-90% of the crowd would prolly be lovin' it! But us hardcore fans would know and it would be very transparent.
In a few short months they will have been on tour on and off for one year. They've played and tested almost every song on CD (just like they did on the UYI-tour). And it seems they have settled on a setlist that suits hardcore new-GNR fans, old-GNR fans and the general rockfan. I guess that is in a way "going through the motions". There is no way around that. They have to do it like that!
AC/DC is a band that is REALLY going through the motions. Most fans seem to love it. But after decades of songs about tits, booze and the devil, I would get bored. Some of us love artists who evolve and challenge themselvs, and in doing so they challenge the listener.
For those of us who love CD, at least for me, there is some concern about what a AFD-linup could produce when it comes to new material....

A reunion would be big...bigger than Van Halen and the Crue in the US for sure. Sold Out large arenas in the US. Worldwide, it would be massive stadium shows.
So it doesn't matter if the guys in the band are really on board for a reunion?
Just as long as enough fans are lovin' it and it sells out huge venues?
#799 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose lawsuit gets off to a touchy start » 778 weeks ago
What backfires is trying to explain yourself to a tard on the internet. My bad.
Confidence and credibility are crucial to what I do for a living. Apparently with that and my reputation, that's good enough to get me hired at a Fortune 150 company without a face to face interview. I must be doing something right in the real world at least. Thanks for your concern.
Hey, no problem!
But I'm seriously starting to wonder if you're being serious with all this confidence- and backpadding-talk of yours...
If you're just kidding and janking my chain, it almost boarders on funny. If not it boarders on creepy...
