Here Today... Gone To Hell!

2006 so far has been great, no one could of ever imagined it would be this great.

We have had a succesful Europe tour and a bunch of us dates that all went great.
We have actual interviews from 2006
We have had actaul press releases from management
We have a actual updated GNR website
We have a new album coming out within next 2 months
We have promotion with Baseball and commercials using GNR? :hihi:
We have a North American tour happening now with more dates coming in 2007
We have Axl out and about in public like VMA's etc
We have had the oppurtunity of presales and early info or factual info thanks to Jarmo and Mysteron
We have a tour were the band is playing classic songs along with 4 or 5 unreleased songs at each show.

All and all it is a great time to be a fan

GNR have never done any thing conventional, so dot expect them too
GNR goes on late becuase that is what they do
Axl does what he wants when he wants, and it is pretty apparent to me he is bringing this band back to the top of the world
GNR is the most dangerous band in the world
GNR will not play any unheard songs until the album drops or damn close to it.

Stop Global Whining? :peace:

Long time fans know it has been a loooooooooooooong time since we have had a year as good as this.

Oh and a few more positives

GNR sounds,looks and acts like GNR
Axl looks like AXL

The band is on fire, tight sounding and they are coming to a town near you to kick your bitchy little ass  :hihi:

 :hihi:

overall it has been a great year yeah.
Dreaming is believing  :beer:

I appreciate the sentiment of this thread. It has been a good year for GNR fans.

On the other hand, a thread like this is shooting fish in a barrel for the negative nancies that want to rain on your parade.

Holy shit! I almost couldn't take that many positive thoughts on this board all at once!

Glad to see anyone else is thankful too!

This GNR train is a rollin and it is on a one way ride to the TOP. There is no stoping them, all the naysayers this year have come and gone. Again and again it keeps getting better.  It is is time  :beer:

And sounds and acts like Axl ! Wich is great too (just thought I'd mention it ;))

And Axl turned up for the first show of the tour this time, seriously, its good now! ;D

Thanks for posting that for everyone. I feel it serves as a good reminder. 
 
It's better to focus on what you have and to be thankful for it... rather than focusing/obsessing on what you don't have and feeling unhappy about it.  :yes:

Cheers,
W.R.

 :peace: So far the tour has been going great. I can not wait till Sunday it is going to be great? :peace:

I think I finally got it figured out what some of the complaining is about on here.

Years ago in the beginning. Us now old fans that were teens loved this band, becuase our parents hated them. The world despised them.

These guys were great they stuck there big fuck you in your face for the world to see, and did not give a flying fuck what anybody said. I mean come on what kinid of band would havet he name guns in it or pics of guns on stuff? :hihi:

When I was a kid they were gods. You never knew what was going to happen next. You never knew if they were going to show. And if they did what were they going to do.? You never knew how high they would be.

It was a totally on the edge over the edge time. Back in the day MTV was tv to us, days did not go by with out some good news or alot of bad news about the guys. Axl this or that.


So now that I have you confused, think of it this way, alot of us fell in love with them because they were the most dangerous band in the world and still are. Think about it. We loved them, we loved the attitude, we loved the way of life, we loved the music.

Now how many years later we have a new generation of fans that love GNR as much in there own ways but it is the modern mind set. No other band does what gnr does. And that has been metioned on here countless times.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing or having some diffrences of opinions on this board, but the same damn stupid shit about setlist and crap is getting old or when is the album coming out.? Look this is GNR and it will come out when they want it too, they will play what they want when they want.

When i went to see them back in the day? :hihi: you never knew what was going to happen. Axl in 2006 is tame and he is on a mission to retake the world. Stop the fucking bitching, take a seat and sit back and enjoy the ride.

So why do you like them?

I like them for eveything start to finish and everything in between, I take the bad with the good? :beer: well almost? .............................

Do i have complaints sure but in the sceme of things looking back 2006 is the BEST YEAR IN OVER 10 YEARS, so I'm happy and some of you should be too. If tomorrow would never come this year has been great.  : ok:

I agree it has been a great year for GNR and their fans and I have personally enjoyed it A LOT, but......if CD is not released this year or at least we are given a release date I can promise that most fans will say fuck this band. I know I will.

I love GNR old and new, but Axl promised CD would be released this year and I have taken A LOT of shit from people for telling them this is the year, I want stand for another lie, just not going to happen.

If it is released (which I believe it will) then this is going to be a great GREAT year. We already have the cake, we just need the icing to go on top of it  :hihi:

It will come out this year because this year has everything going in the right direction, that night train is rollin and there si no stopping it. (http://www.coolsmilies.net/music/band.gif)(http://www.coolsmilies.net/music/band.gif)

Speaking of night train.  I will be on that shit this weekend in Vegas! :beer:

I can't believe nobody has bitched in this thread yet!

Well, allow me to do so...


I believe the opposite. I think everything listed in this thread is the icing on the cake. I can only eat so much icing... once the album comes out we'll have the cake.

Overall I agree though, this has been the most productive and promising year for the new band yet.

It would be hard to list all the reasons, but this was at least a small one:
? ?:hihi:

I had a difficult time growing up.? I found both a channel and an outlet for my anger, sadness, and pain in hard rock and metal music.? I could especially relate to a troubled young man from a fucked-up family who sang about "lookin' for a trace, lookin' for a heart, lookin' for a lover in a world that's much too dark".

GNR is one of the few artists I've listened to for as long as I have.? Up until recently, it was mostly because of the past.? Truly great music perseveres, and Appetite for Destruction -- IMO the single greatest album of all time -- still sounds as vibrant to me as it did when I first bought it on cassette 18 years ago.? (The UYI's still sound really good, too.? ?;))? But now there is the present, which consists of all the great things you've mentioned here. :yes: And the future, Chinese Democracy, seems very close at hand.? All of this -- past, present, and future -- is tied together by one of rock-n-roll's greatest frontmen of all time, W. Axl Rose.? Hot-tempered, enigmatic yet charismatic, easy on the eyes, and even better on the ears, he is someone I will never grow weary of.

Thank you for the great posts, sjgotnitro.? ?: ok:? ?:beer:

well said.

Thanks to the whole GNR camp for that statement. The majority of us here support all your efforts. I consider my self a positive poster except when it comes to whiners and haters.

I have a few things i would like to say to fellow board members, not trying to stir shit but I have to say it.

GNR and management owe none of us anything, them doing this is a added plus. They have been giving us updates for months now and it is never good enough. I though the commenst from the other week talking about message boards was enough to let you all know we were on notice, but no they had to come out and say the board name becuase some of you are thick headed and do not listen.

The whiners and haters lately have been ruthless asshole, it is embarrasing at times to mention theat I'm a member here.

The same whiners yesterday are now back peddling in the statement thread being all nice. I feel those yesterday did not think before they posted. We all had a press release, everyone on here should of been happy with that, but no beta had to come on here and some of you were down right rude and should of been banned. One is paticular made some real low blow comments and easily escaped unscaved.

So far this year we have been getting non stop info from the band and camp. It is time for stiffer penalties to be inforced on this board. The negative karma is not working, bann them or suspend there rights until people calm down.

This is the best damn fan site out there lets keep it that way. Show some respect for the band and there camp. Show some  respect for this board and jarmo. Show some respect for your self.

 If people do not want me here no problem I problly should reconnect to the real world anyhow which will include GNR not whiners and haters.

Good post! Couldn't agree more!  :beer:

AXL is performing the best way ever!

gnrs never done anything controversial :rofl: :hihi:

It really baffles me to see such negativity on this board when we have had the best GN'R year for so long! I mean, like the statement from Merck said, GN'R have played 50 shows this year, performing to thousands of fans who thought they might not see this band again, and they have kicked peoples asses all over Europe and now in the States!

Watching them at Download, I was just in such a state of happiness because my Idol, the man I've looked up to for years was performing in front of me and performing better than ever, with a band that are absolutely awesome and new tunes that are gonna MORE than live up to the GN'R name!

I don't know if there would be any other band in the world whose fans would be so negative in the face of such a positive situation!

I BELIEVE we are gonna have a kickass rest of the tour, I BELIEVE we will have an album very soon, and I BELIEVE in GN'R 2006!

From all the fans that are positive and want to see GN'R back at the top! Thankyou Axl and the guys and keep rocking!  :peace:

Thanks for the great post. Another valuable member of this board.  :beer:

I beg to differ.

this is GNR. What it sounds, looks and does is GNR.
whatever he wears, axl is axl.

Overall, YAY! : ok:

ok you want some positives....well here ya go. I'm 39 yrs old and been a GNR fan since the beginning. Unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to see the band live in concert until 11/5/06 at Continental Arena in NJ. I went to the show with my younger son (11 yrs old and knows the lyrics to almost all the GNR songs  :hihi:) any way the show just plan out rocked!!!! Papa Roach was great....and Axl...well he was just everything my son and I expected!! What a show!!....we loved the show so much I went out and purchased 2 more tickets for Fridays show in NY at MSG!! To be honest neither my son or I can't wait til Friday....I honestly don't get all the negativity.....Axl put on one of the best shows I've seen...I can only imagine how pumped he'll be for NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awsome, I was there also with my 12 year old son on the 5th. I had a great time. He loved it also. He still is talking about it days later. Im off to Vegas tomorrow morning or I would by in NY with Friday.  :peace:

More positives.......

-The Hammerstien shows, the band ensured that WE got tickets, even the whiners.
-Beter, IRS, TWAT, CITR,
-Great quality video from Europe

Yea i agree but it was meant sarcastic to the popele who live in the past, even they can not disagree with what is happening in those areas.

Actually sjgotnitro I knew what you really meant and just felt like pulling your leg a bit  Besides, Just a "I agree" post would be tasteless.  no hard feelings.  :P

Thanks for pulling  : ok:
