So all this time you’ve been saying you’re some inside link to the band, you’re now back tracking, and saying you’re just like the rest of us, and don’t know anything…?
Ok…
I am, moreover was, a promoter working between Australia and the UK I know alot of people just from work over the years. I can contact management's of different people, I go between good then distant relationships with various people. People on my old website will know how I work.
It's just becoming harder to get information. This and that is supposed to happen and it doesn't.
I do alot more than here for other people, getting things from bands for people's birthdays, getting them to go.to charity events, I'm just getting to a point with GN'R where I'm struggling to do anything useful.
If that makes any sense.
That actually does make a lot of sense. I can relate to this from another profession's perspective. The most unfulfilling experiences I have professionally is essentially what you just described.
I'm going to ask you a question that may be difficult to answer in a public forum, but I'm going to try anyway. What is the deal with this band? Are they even a band? This version of the band since they reunited has just be a nostalgia tour imho. I guess what I'm getting at is why are they so unmotivated to do things that actual bands seem to do on a consistent basis?
The chemistry that was so special from 86 to 93 is just so different from the feeling I get from them now. They almost seem to just be going through the motions.

Primarily, it is a band, and they probably wouldn't say it's a nostalgia tour, but it is. Of course it is. And it's about money, it makes alot of people money, not just the band, but those around them.

I think for Slash and Duff, it's straightforward, they enjoy touring, and they can release their own music if Guns don't.

For Axl, I guess it's validation in some regard. He's had to spend years carrying everything, justifying everything. On the back of that, he has read these message boards and press stories, probably intensively, over the years. All the opinions and scrutiny. The big shows show that a few hundred people on message boards does not represent the millions who go to the shows. I'm guessing Slash and Duff probably said, let's tour, have fun and let's see what happens, no pressure. Of course, we've not had alot of new music. And it's frustrating. I've been here and about 20 years, it's a long time for just one album and a few songs.

Like you, I liked afd and the uyi albums. It was a good time for music. I've wanted to hear more music, but what can you do. I think every band has it's own story and we've chosen to follow GNR, and that's it really.

I personally like the fucking lunacy
Like during the Chinese democracy build up things would look promising and then you'd read oh fuck me he's chewed a security guards leg and the rest of the tour is cancelled.

One of them said in an interview might have been duff
It's fucked up but In a realy beautiful way
I think axls bipolar diagnosis or whatever diagnosis he has and the chaos is why the music was so intense and why it resonated to much with me as a teenager

I read mygnr and forums in general and they are all hyper critical.
It's afuckinf miracle they aren't all dead.

Axl suffered with his mental health
Duff's pancreas exploded and slash actually died a few times.

I think we will get more music because they're mentioned it so much and monsters proves some stuff is ready for release

But whichever way we get to hear it it won't be normal and that's fine by me
I read someone post "I've tired of guns and roses" like they are some Peter o'toole character lounging on a regency sofa turning his nose up in disgust.

Tired have you?
Then fuck off
Fuck off and listen to Coldplay
They release an album every three days but I can't rememebr a fucking note of the bland shite they've released.

I don't want predictable bland normal
I want guns n fucking roses

I saw them at wembley a couple of weeks back
And no it wasn't the same as Milton Keynes 93
But axl doesn't have a delorian

I still had non guns m roses fans thanking me for taking them to the concert
It was still gnr and it's still fucking great.

It's fun being a Guns fan. It's a community like nothing else, it always has been

I also like the lunacy and general all round oddness of this band and it's history. I also think we get more music and I think there is way more of it than people think, I suspect we get the majority of it through leaks over the years as opposed to an album release though, would be happy to be wrong.

I pay attention to what's going on the forums too, but it's harder to do that than it used to be. Knowledgeable people have faded away & it seems many places have just become political forums with the only main GNR related content/threads based around current shows, which don't greatly interest me compared to info on rare unheard stuff/studio info ect, I do think its great they have added deep cuts to the setlist & I'm happy they are still out there doing it for those who go. As far as the forums go certain places come off like support groups for incels/conspiracy theorists & people who despise every facet of the band or on the other side of it people who loose there minds at the slightest criticism, there is no balanced in-between. People want what they don't have, if you told most of these people 10 years ago that Axl Slash Duff Fortus and a new drummer would be playing Sabbath songs and TWAT live they would have jizzed everywhere.
