I need to make two points before continuing:

It's a known fact the guys in GNR today kick some serious asses when playing live.
The shows are fun to the people who attend them and 97% of the people that go to the concerts and/or the GNR fanbase are NOT hardcore and are NOT on the boards.

Knowing this:

SHAME ON YOU, AXL.

It's not anyone's responsability for you to MOVE THE FUCK ON.

It's not Universal's, Jimmy Iovine's, Beta's, Fernando's or Slash's. It's completely yours.

The setlist trash talk is easy and to some extent, at least until the american tour ended, I was ok with it and, to some extension, was comfortable with how things were. If you'd look closely, the band hadn't played/promoted cd on US, so a tour with the same setlist/stage setting/etc was only rational.

You'd think that coming to places for the second time would make the perfect scenario for Axl to start deploying the future, as he did in 2001 in Rio.

Even for Axl Rose that would only make sense.

If and only if he wasn't his worst enemy. Wanna go around the world cash grabbing? Is THAT your ideal of integrity and not selling out?

Is that how you prove the world how you love the new band and want it recognized as Guns N' Roses? Is that in what you believe?

If so, I'm sorry, but you're fuckin' delusional. You just lost me, dude.
