Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Its a damn rock show, it doesnt have to be over by 930.


Most bands only play for 45 mins or an hour.
Gnr play double or triple that
So stop your crying.

As for rioting fans,  you blame axl for that, blame the stupid fans who think they want to break shit.

Do you blame the pariots for their fans rioting after they won the superbowl?

it's just that Motley Crue shit when Vince Neil left,they should have changed the name,just like Axl should do.

Get over it

I didn't mean that it was,I like that cd,I thought that it was the best album :peace:

 Oh and by the way this new GN'R is not a cover band.   :rant:

I got this message off another message board,I agree with it,so I though that I would share it.

 :rant:

Fuck Axl Rose!

Why beat around the bush? We all know the stories by now. The guy is a self-centered, arrogant asshole who is only concerned about himself. When science finally locates the center of the universe, Axl will be surprised to learn he's not it. He makes Sebastian Bach actually seem like Jesus Christ!


Now you'd think that he would have been excited that an arena full of fans were stupid naive enough to buy tickets for his Guns N Roses cover band. You'd think you'd want to perform in front of those people. The very fans who still support you. Maybe Axl never got the memo that all bands get when they start out. It lists a few common rules that bands should follow. Some of the rules are:

Rules:
1. If you're scheduled to go on at 9:30 PM, then don't be a couple hundred miles away at the same time watching fucking TV!!! Unless it's a WWE Pay-Per View, then it's ok. Otherwise, get to the city well before 9:30.

2. If you're scheduled to play a city on Friday, then try being in that city on Friday!!!! For example, if you're schedule to play Philly on Friday, then maybe you should be in Philly on Friday!

Here's a test: If your band is playing a gig in Nashville on Tuesday, then where should you be on Tuesday? If you said Nashville, you are correct.
If you said Tampa, then this is too complicated for you, Axl, so go back to watching TV.

3. If you're scheduled to go on at 9:30 and you do happen to be in that same city, then go on at 9:30!! Get to the venue early. Have dinner. Take a shower. Then go play. Have sex with underage groupies afterwards.

It's really that simple. It's not like Axl has to get in a car and drive from city to city! He doesn't need to use MapQuest to figure out where he's going. He's fucking flying everywhere. He doesn't even have to think. He just has to go where his handlers tell him. But that seems to be too hard for him. Perhaps his whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

When a tour is canceled or shows are blown off, it effects a lot of people. All the crew guys GNR had are now like Slaughter, totally out of work. They probably took this gig over other gigs expecting to get paid through the end of the year. Now it's December 9th and they're out money. But Axl doesn't care. He doesn't give a shit about the roadies who were counting on these shows to pay their bills or buy Christmas gifts for their starving children who are now out living on the street without a Christmas tree or a hot meal! (Ok, I admit that's a bit dramatic, but fuck you, it's my post). It's more important for him to be able to do whatever he wants at any given time. Meanwhile, the fans in Philly were sitting around for 4 hours waiting for Guns N Roses to play. And even though they never played, you could still buy GNR merchandise! Their merch booths were open, so Axl still made money that night. Same thing with Vancouver. He can still make money from merch and sit on his ass and miss the show. Think about that next time you go and buy your silly GNR concert shirt. You might be buying a concert shirt for a show that isn't even going to happen!

And for those of you saying, "Well he's a rock star." I say, "kill yourself." Does Steven Tyler of Aerosmith have this problem? What about Mick Jagger? He's like 100 years old and the guy has no problem taking the stage on time. What about Kiss? What about Bon Jovi? None of those bands have this type of shit happen to them? You don't hear stories about Jon Bon Jovi being in New York when he's supposed to be in Philadelphia. You don't hear stories about Aerosmith fans rioting when Steven Tyler doesn't show up to a show, do you? That's because Steven Tyler doesn't fucking blow off shows!

If u don't like Axl Rose.....why post on this site?

Axl is in my view the greatest musician ever  - so what if he cancels the odd show, he's given the whole fuckin world 6 of the best albums ever.

Who does this dude think he is anyways.  Is he some musical expert that studies how a frontman should or should not act for a concert?  

 :no:

Slooww down...

Greatest frontman, sure...greatest musician?  I think youre forgetting that there was at least 4 other guys who were nearly as important in making those albums "hes" given to us (where you got 6 albums, I have no clue).  This wasnt Nirvana where one guy wrote the music, their music was a full collaboration.  It seems like I must constantly remind some of you about that...

Axl is in my view the greatest musician ever

Where did i say that was fact - where did i say the others did nothing?

I think Axl's the best frontman ever. period. U disagree, well good for u!! :D

Once again just for u

If u want to pick apart my posts at least read then  :confused:

As you can see, I dont disagree with the frontman thing, its the greatest musician deal that is ludicrous.  

huh... isnt point 1 and 2 just about the same thing? and the third for that sake, jeez, just say it! you want axl to play on time... yeah?  :hihi:

hey, atleast, when he blew of philly show axl was in the same country, he didnt decide to be in another country for some longer 'cuz he may like it..... *caugh-france-norway-caugh*

now, that is worse than that deal....

Finally! a reply with some humor!

Yeah, the Norway France thing was just fucked up.  Did he ever give an explanation for that either?

People attend GNR concerts knowing full well that he's gonna be late. I know it's not ideal, but nobody forces anyone to buy a ticket.

If u don't like Axl Rose.....why post on this site?

Izzy, it's time I confess,

I only post on this site b/c I like Chris Pittman... :hihi:

Axl was given credit for 41% of AFD, the largest stake...........

I believe it was 41% of the catalog, not just AFD. I would say that Axl is about half of the whole (old) Gnr picture.....image and writing mixed together. He is and was the voice of the band and the most famous/notorious of the members. He was the Roses and the rest of the band was the Guns. To say Axl is one fifth of the group is silly.

He was the Roses and the rest of the band was the Guns. To say Axl is one fifth of the group is silly.

Contributions from Gilby-Steven-Matt-even Duff are no where near as important as that of the singer and main lyric writer of the group. I was just using a play on words.... ::)

well here we have a nice little post..we have these nice numbers also, I guess the person who has more percent counted is the most important hit machine.. ??? the fact is no one really knows except the ex-members and Axl who made that riff and how did that melody got done.. and I don't really see any logic with this 'making Appetit' one when someone throws these percents to the game..does everyone know how many percent is the riff of Jungle..and what about the riff of SCOM..umm, it would be nice to know how many percents snatches the solo of PC...fuck that...Axl is very talented and was very important figure in making Appetite like others were..for fuck sake's, little bit credit for Izzy, Duff and Slash also..let's just leave these percents out of the game.

:confused:
:no:

Thats right, youve got nothing to say...

Good post John.

It leaves 59% of the credit to Izzy, Duff, and Slahs, that's more than "a little bit credit." Also, its funny how people want to "leave out" things that don't mesh well with their "argument."

Haha...what about Steven?

Funny how people want to leave things out  :rofl:

Lets assume we can all do simple math:

Take the hundereds of shows he has showed up for
Subtract the Number he didn't (for whatever reason)

Equals:
More shows that your sanity could deal with

To all the haters:
Like you have never been late for work even once????

Can we all just end this stupid boring conversation that was Dead Horse from the start?

I think Axl rules :peace:

Lets face it, Axl is the coolest motherfucker ever! there we go lol

What do you think people are thinking about you these days?

I know it's a love-hate thing. There are people that are big fans and people that really hate me.



Let's say a fan stopped you on the street and said: "Listen, I bought all your records, but I'm sick of your bullshit. I come to show and you're two hours, late, and I have to work the next day. You don't give a fuck about me."

If I didn't give a fuck about them, I'd come out and do a shitty show. I'd come out and tell 'em to fuck off. I'd sit down, sing the songs off-key and just not care. But I do care, and I also care too much about myself to do that. It's confusing to me that people go, "Well, I have to work in the morning." If you were getting laid, you wouldn't be so worried about what time it was. I know it's complicated, but so is getting onstage. And I'm sorry. I try to make it up by coming out and doing a good show and explaining as much as I can about what was going on in my head and why we weren't there.

It's not like it's a train and has to start on time.

Lets assume we can all do simple math:

Take the hundereds of shows he has showed up for
Subtract the Number he didn't (for whatever reason)

Yeah, Axl's cool.? He's also the best frontman of all time.? He's just really unstable.? You can be unstable and cool at the same time.?

I actually think the Axl from lets say 94-present is much cooler than his active yrs. Dont get me wrong, he was def "cool" when old gnr were on the scene, but I think the non active Axl is cooler.

I actually spared that last statement any worse description of Axl in the last 11 years. What he has done since is the most uncool thing ever done in the history of rock n' roll.

Axl is cool, ok?
