Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Just wondering cause I'm not as much as I have been in the past.? I guess I'm glad they are but I don't find myself running to the computer like 06' or 02'.? Just seems like we've seen it before and if there is not going to be a cd then why should we care.? If Axl is doing this for money only then he shoud put the old guys back together and sell out every single night and make a shit pile of money.? I wish they would give us a new cd.? Delete now.? ?

oh chill out.

karma -4  Enjoy!

Fraid not. Show me the album.

I am very very excited, even more than the last year.

The ''old guys'' dont need GNR. They are already in ''the hard rock machine'', ''the rock and roll salvation'' known as Velvet Revolver  :hihi:

I have to say I am not excited at all.  I think it is boring really.  In 2002 I was very excited.  When the demos were played and they toured I was excited but not as much as in 2002.  When I saw them in Chicago in 2006 was was disappointed. Right now I dont follow them as much and check this forum every once in a while but thats about it. 

Yeah I'm still excited.  2001/2002 I was stoked they got themselves back into the limelight, but that was short-lived.  Then we had a 4 year layoff till their return last year.  And one year later, they're still playing.  So what's not to be excited about?  Until they start cancelling tours and things turn bleak I will continue to be excited.  I HOPE, that when they return to the States, Europe, or other coutries they have recently played they will have some NEW material to play.  But until that point I'm satisfied with what they're doing.  Of course if they do come back to the States and are still playing the same AFD heavy setlist, I will be there as fast as I possibly can.  What can I say?

If they played some of the options a bit more, I'd be more into it. I'm not saying that they need to do a total 180 every night, but it wouldn't hurt to throw in Used To Love Her/You're Crazy/Nice Boys/Perfect Crime/Rhiad here and there.

WAH WAH WAH a tour is better than no tour.  I would be afraid if there wasn't a tour because then there would be no chance of a CD but why do you think GnR is touring cause their gonna drop a album plain and simple.  The shows are excellent the band is excellent Axl is on top of his game once again its very exciting to be a GnR fan.

No, not really. Time for the album already...

I gotta say that while I am excited, i would definitely be a Lot more excited with a press release about the Album.

Unless your Kiwi, Aussie or Japaniese I don't know why you'd give a fuck.

Getting the old band together...well easier said than done I'd say, plus the current band line-up is totally awesome as it is, so for as far as I'm concerned it should stay the way it is now. I don't think they're only doing if for the money to begin with; this is a lot better than no GNR whatsoever, there's a bigger chance of some kind of update now than there would be if there'd seemingly not be anything going on with GNR.

Anyway, yeah I'm excited, I saw some picture of Axl from the show they did a couple of days ago in the newspaper and as small as it was it really made my day. it's good to see them touring and I really do believe CD's  coming out this year.

The only thing that excites me is the prospect that they might be coming to the UK.  But otherwise, since there is no mention of CD so far, and they seem to be playing less new material so far, there isn't much to be excited about from that standpoint.

If I was Australian, Kiwi or Japanese I'd be very excited, no doubt about it.  As it is I'm not really, but its good to know they're active and not skulking around the US doing nothing.

You bet I'm excited I get to see GN'R in two days.
Right now I could not give a damn about the album as long as I get to see them this friday and saturday I will be more than happy ;D

not really

how many years do we have to wait?  its getting stupid....just release it already!

yeah I know..but complaining about it won't get it released sooner either.

Im not excited at all anymore. they're touring.....same thing, playing greatest hits and making money while there seems to be absolutely no new album in sight. I'd go see them if they came here, just to see Axl, but thats about it.  but I guess when there's a press release about the album, my excitement level will go through the roof.

Yes I am excited GnR is touring.   Anytime they put on a show its a great time.

No Axl should not get the old guys back together.  get your head out of your ass.  He should NEVER do that. 

Im not excited, havent even looked at the setlists as I believe they are the same as last tour.

Dont get me wrong, its cool other fans are getting to see the band for the first time etc but I think for the rest of us fans we just want the album.

Ive been reading about CD, and anticpating its release since I was in Highschool.... 9 years ago  ::)

Am I excited that my favourite band is on tour playing shows to thousands of fans?


Of course.

On the one hand yes, because it?s always cool they are touring and active but on the other hand no, because they are playing too damn far and that makes it impossible for me to travel and see them again :'(

of course poeple arnt as excited bout this tour,its only bin 6 months since the first leg finished.

if this leg of the tour ran thorough your country then im sure youd all be excited ? :yes:

the way i see it is that GNR are gonna let the WORLD know that their back by touring everywhere. that way they build up a new younger fanbase to add to the existing older fanbase.more fans the better

they will soon run outta places to tour then it will be time for the baby to drop ?:hihi:

Of course I'm excited.? Tour is better then no activity at all.? Remember from the end of 02 to the beginning of 06 all we had was rumors, and that sucked, no rumors were ever true and the times passed without any updates. now for the past year Axl has been in the spotlight and the band is touring, of course we want CD, but lets stop worrying about what we dont have and start enjoying what we do.

I have been excited about every single move Axl and this band have made in the past 17 years.....from the airport arrest in 1998, to the jumping on stage with Gilby in 2000 to the leaked demos and tour last year(which i saw them 4 times on)......and everything that happened in between and around all of those things.....why would I stop being excited now?

I am excited, because I am a fan.  Those that aren't excited just don't get it and shouldn't consider themselves fans.  As a fan, I am content that my favorite artists are enjoying themselves playing shows right now, seeing the world.  That's what being a fan is all about.

 I'm not a selfish person, I;ve been a fan since before most of you were born.  Sure the wait is tiring at times, but imagine a world with no internet and no updates circa 1989.  That wait for news after AFD sucked.  Part of what makes Axl who he is is simply the fact that he will not change or compromise for anybody.  That's what drew me in in 1986, and why I still believe in the plan today.

Those that don't get it are the ones that whine about:

A) No new album
B) The start time of shows (Boohoo I need a babysitter  :crying: )
C) The old band vs today
D) The setlist

and
E) All of the above


What makes Axl great is the fact he really doesn;t care about the people that whine about the above. 

Am I excited that the guys are out having fun?  Hell yes I am.

Agreed.

Add to that: Playing in front of fans who hasn't seen a GN'R show in years.


 :)


/jarmo

very happy because 60% of the people who are seeing them now have probably never seen them before....that is such good news, that they have finally decided that Europe and the US are not the only markets where they have fans...

now they must just get their asses in gear and play a show in Africa....and then we're done.

great post, kudos.

i mean it could 2003, 2004, or 2005 again and we get a damn thing.    Any chance I have to see my favorite band I know I'll be there.   And I'm excited for any other fan who gets the opportunity to see them live this year.   

yea it would be cool if they ended up rescheduling those shows in South Africa.   

Whatever.  Asking opinions.  Eat me.

yes!! People who complain forget the years 2003-2006. where axl was basically in recluse.

I think its great to see Axl happy and back touring. and it leads me to believe CD is very close

not quite. I reckon it might be pretty exciting for those in Australia, Mexico and so on to see them live... but I just dont see the point of this tour...

They are a band and bands play live gigs. They have to make a living..... :peace:

um to play for the fans who would like to see the band?

IDEM.

HBK *

It's exciting because something is happening in the GN'R world, but it's not what the majority of us want to be happening.

/j

Yeah, it's great knowing that Axl and the boys are out on the road having fun.   :beer:

Really hoping for another end of year North American tour too, but only if there's an album to go along with it.

Yeh, saw em last night still got the afterglow....

Axl and Sebastian thought it was 1992 for a moment there.......
