Re: Guns N' Roses Live in London (Airing on Vh1 Classic)
In reference to this London show trailer:
Kinda lame that Axl, Izzy & Dizzy blew off the Hall, yet GN'R (aka Beta) are turning around and using the Rock Hall Induction reference to promote, which is REALLY lame.
Either way, just drop the show. Oh yeah, Axl's voice has been OBVIOUSLY touched up.
it obviously hasn`t been touched up. i don`t know where you get this from, but listening to the trailer he sounds exactely the way he sounds live.
also, i don`t think anyone from gnr management or axl had any hand in the making of this trailer. you can say a lot about axl, but he`s no hypocrite.

Question:
Is anyone considering that Axl may be actually planning to go away for a long time even retire after this run?
I say this because:
Axl seems relaxed and happy to be “the guy who sings Sweet Child O’ Mine”.
All of the old stated ambitions about taking fans to new places with GNR seem to have petered out.Axl never mentions new music anymore. The furthest he has moved is to be looking at re-releasing CD, a four year old album.
The management team have been drawing from old band achievements more and more as the years have gone by so that now the band are following the nostalgia business model more closely than ever before.
The band are selling equipment on line while management is dumping tons of old merchandise onto the web.
The fact that Axl seems so content that it indicates to me that he has let some major things go in his life. The one main thing was his massive ambition for himself, his new band and their music. That cross he carried that seemed to torture him appears to be gone.
This is a guy who said to Bach that he’d pay VH1 two million dollars to leave him alone, yet he’s now happy to be a wedding singer (all be it at a stratospheric level).
His get out clause is that he can blame the collapse of the music business for the only partial interest in his work with other GNR line ups.
It may actually be cheaper and easier for Axl to manage his current msuic portfolio rather than pay about 13 people’s salaries and fight to get this band back onto the top of a collapsed business.
“Team Brazil” is a new idea from Beta’s crew. They are now publicising themselves as a real management unit. Maybe they know they will need to look for new clients in the near future?
I wouldnt be surprise one bit
Re: Guns N' Roses Live in London (Airing on Vh1 Classic)
i don't think he's gonna retire but at the same time "going away for a long time" is what he does, & it's kinda overdue - he's been on this touring cycle now for ages, if you wanna stretch it you could go as far back as '01/'02.
having said that, i really don't know. i think it's one of he's gonna try & make/release a new album, continue to tour, or go away, or indeed retire.
his ambition does seem to have wilted. like i've said before, he seems to care more about his business BS than he does his art/music.

Also, they reference "The Most Dangerous Band In The World"
...
That band broke up 20 years ago.
