Here Today... Gone To Hell!

The fall tour almost being over, what are the plans for GNR going into 2019.  While the tour has been amazing, will we finally get new music. With Slash and Duff back in the band for 2 and half years, band looks really good and functional.  Hopefully they will get in the studio and make a combo of leftover CD songs with some new songs. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving and hopefully new music in 2019.

More shows here and there around the US.

I'd go for not much....then another tour in 3 years.

My theory is that 2019 will be mostly quiet until the Terminator movie comes out. I think there will be a new GNR song for that movie. This will be the beginning of a new album. Myles will be also be heading back to  Alter Bridge at some point in 2019 for their new album.

A European Tour will be announced in February.

I think we'll get news from them about new music. Maybe we'll get a new single on the fall.

I don't think they'll tour for 2019. Their focus should be the new stuff

And I hope it contains some CD/axl songs as well as some songs/compositions from Slash and Duff

Looks like they played exactly the same set at both HK shows so would hazard a guess that a live CD/BR from those shows to materialise down the line?

I can't see why they would choose the HK show over any other. Would seem an odd choice to me....

HK is a technologically advanced place. It's possible they have better source material from there compared to some other places.

Slash is also wearing the same outfit both nights. That would make sense if they want to use footage from both shows. Hk is as good as any other place to release a show.

If they were to release anything, why wouldn't it be a 2016 show when Axl was on fire?

Where are you getting that information from? Not heard anything ike that personally.

I feel it would be quite a shame if the shows from this leg were chosen for release really. I'd like to see aomething from earlier in the tour- or a compilation of highlights.

We need remastered/restored gigs from UYI tour man. We need to see the band in his top!!!!! That shit gonna blow up our brains.

For the fans. We can put the money out to make the work. Personally i would buy a lot of that shit.

See the below. This news made the rounds of the internet back in 2017. If they did only 3 cameras for the Dodgers stadium, I agree, that was a very poor job. And Fernando said on that other forum that the Troubadour shows will never be released either. That's why I'm thinking they don't really have anything of solid quality from 2016 and 2017.

http://www.alternativenation.net/production-company-pissed-guns-n-roses-fck-them/

I'd take 3 cameras of a 2016 show over a recent one with more angles. Who cares how many angles there are? 3 is fine. I care about the performance.

Too bad. Troubadour seems like the obvious show to release.

Is it because of the (apparent) conflict with the production company?

I'd bet the Troubadour show is better in theory than practice. The set was very short, the band probably weren't as tight as they later became, and Axl broke his ankle! Obviously it was a big moment in GNR history, but I'm not sure that it's faults wouldn't be apparent if it was professionally recorded. I'm happy to leave it as a cool thin for those that managed to go.

Well, let me google it for you:

https://www.gunsnroses.com/tour

I think there will be an extended down time as Slash does his thing with Myles and Conspirators for most of 2019. I doubt there will be new music in 2019. I don't think we will get any substantive news about GNR until late 2019 or early 2020, and then possibly a new single in 2020 followed by a few shows in selected cities in USA that begin to introduce fans to new music. New album announced in late 2020 with full blown tour in 2021.

How's that for a crystal ball forecast?

Not great

UYI 30 years is next. I want to buy that shit now! Blurays shows from the best tour ever. Stockholm 91, Sao Paulo 92, Colombia 92, Venezuela 92, St Petersburg 91, Czechoslovakia 92 and i can continue forever.

Raw mixes and rare takes for the UYI sessions, the Q-Sound mixes with perfect quality. 5.1 bluray audios with the tapes of that time (without addin new stuff). Videos making the UYI, Axl singing, the band playing.... etc. The UYI 3! With songs that never saw the lite.

I want that fkn box!! I want to colaborate NOW!! TAKE MY MONEY.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Got quiet around here quick!

Whats's next is definitely the question. One new song on a soundtrack album would be huge as it would be a sign of things to come.

Was hoping for a live DVD/CD from this tour but looks like that may not happen due t the camera crew issues that were mentioned a page or so back.

What I don't get about 'what's next' is why the tease?  Why not just say something?  Anything!!!  Give us something to talk about in the meantime.  It's not like they haven't said/promised stuff in the past that didn't come to fruition or they had to walk back.  Like seriously, this tour was called "Not In This Lifetime"!!!  ::)

(http://gypsysoul.webspaceforme.net/end.png)

Agree, please don’t let it go months and months now without any information. Especially if they have something specific planned. If they plan on hitting the studio soon, it would be cool to let the fans know, even if they don’t have all the specifics down.

What do you mean the tease?  It's covered with a robe!  :D

If Slash wasn't booked for 2019 I would assume that the question mark in Fernando's post is a hint that more gigs are coming next year ( under a different tour name maybe).... but who knows ???

And I Just saw this on gnr.com/tour
"We are not done yet...shits just getting started"   :beer:

he's got dates until July - and it is a pretty relentless touring schedule! After that though, I suppose more GNR dates could be added for the second half of the year, but I really do think it's time for the tour to come to an end now, and I'd be surprised if it hasn't.

Hopefully in January we will get a DVD from the tour.

yeah I'm really hoping for a blu-ray/live album type thing from the tour.  I actually really liked how they did "Live Era" where they took songs from random shows as opposed to just one concert, I hope they do something like that.

Axl hates that era of the band.  I wouldn't hold my breath.

I think we'd probably have heard about it by now if it was happening.

I obviously can't speak for any of the behind the scenes stuff going on as to why Axl might not like that era, but as a fan, the Illusion era was immensely more interesting to me than the "Appetite" years.  I thought the albums were better and the shows were better. (always preferred Matt to Steven and I loved the addition of Dizzy Reed).  To me the Illusions were their defining moment that showed how limitless their potential was.

I know the long fabled documentary movie they were shooting from 1991-1993 is something I would definitely pay to see.  Hopefully that footage eventually sees he light of day, if it does indeed exist.

Oh, I'm right with you.

The UYI era and that tour is my go to memory of this band.  It's obviously not the CD era, for reasons too many to list, but it's not the AFD era either.

I think you nail it.  AFD era GNR is great.  But UYI era GNR shows far more creativity and variety.

I also prefer Matt to Steven.  The over romanticizing of Steven Adler is one of my least favorite roads I hear fans go down.

I think for most of us veterans, we really got to appreciate the band while we were in our teenage years, and that in my case (and most oldies here) was during the Illusion years. I got to see GNR first time in 1992 (I was 16) and it meant the world to me. Yes, AFD is the their most successful album, but I grew up appreciating the Illusions more.

With the Illusions, I used to have a new favorite song every month, we had 30 to choose from, so that's 2 1/2 years worth!

Also during the Illusions era was when GNR this unstoppable force. Even before the Internet, they were everywhere. I remember buying all the music magazines (RIP, Metal Hammer, Kerrang) every time Axl or one of the boys was featured on the cover (and that happened literally every single month). When MTV used to play videos, GNR was always on heavy rotation. Then we had the Tokyo shows, the making off NR/DC... those were the days.

I was younger and used to get much excited about things. I  remember buying every bootleg that would come out. It was a fucking incredible time to be a fan.

And again...we had no internet.

There was no band bigger than GNR then. Not PJ, not Nirvana either. Yes, even when Grunge became huge, Guns was still selling stadiums in Europe and releasing singles/videos every other month. Every video from the Illusions had this level of anticipation I had not witnessed since the Michael Jackson's days.

So for me, even if Axl doesn't like it, the Illusion days catapulted GNR to fame (and excess and self-annihilation too), but it was a glorious time to be a fan.

And then there was silence... a 6 year silence.

In 1999, when OMG came out was one of the highlights of my life. I don't think I've ever anticipated anything with the level of excitement as the day I sat down to listen to "Oh My God" for the first time. I had just bought the EOD soundtrack and bought a CD player just to listen to it (no Spotify then). I was working in Washington DC then. I came home from work, biught the CD and listened to the song at least 20 times. I remember even today, I was shaking, I had shivers up and down my spine. It was a moment I'd never forget.

Then the Rio performances were awesome too. I remember downloading the songs off of Napster and waiting an all nighter just to download Madagascar! It was freaking awesome. But the level of anticipation for me was not as high as with OMG.

Years later, when some of the CD songs leaked, I was super pumped too. What a time to be a fan...

Then CD came out, I remember listening to the album three times in a row! My girlfriend at the time made fun of me after seeing me listening to Madagascar from CD sat on a meditation pose haha (you just can't make stuff up like that..)

I went to some of the CD shows, which were great, but the essence of the band was missing...

and that was brought back when Slash and Duff came back in 2016!

So yes, I love this band. Past and present incarnations. I can't wait to see if the current lineup will eventually release new music. If they do, I don't think my 40 plus year old heart will be able to cope with the emotion.

Anyway, I think I've gone off topic here...

Viva GNR! Once a fan, always a fan!

I agree with every word of this.  Likely because you and I are the same age, but you nailed it for anyone that lived it at the time.

Very well said. I went to the US for the first time in my life in the summer of 1992. GNR was everywhere. I remember very well being in some big record store just thinking this is America, this is GNR. Of course, we had a lot of coverage in Europe as well but then being over there.

Those were the days.

Definitely...not the meditation pose bit though! I'm the same...although I didn't get to go to the Illusion tpur as I was just a  bit too young! Those 2002 shows though- that was really something for me! It was pretty imcredible growing up with GNR- I find that feeling difficult to express to people; quite HOW important it all was to me, as a teenager trying to find his place in the world.

Back on topic a bit though- I do have a feeling we might be entering a new period of nothing, and that our latience may be tested again, as it has in the past...

Has Axl ever said that himself that he doesn't like that era? Or is it the assumption that thats the era the band started to disintegrate so thats why he wouldn't be happy with it? I always felt the UYI albums were more of Axls vision for GNR the Appetite was being able to grow musically and not stick to one type of sound you had everything on UYI.

Duff is reportedly scheduled to release a solo album in 2019!

Looking forward to that! Hope he tours as well.

He has called the making of those albums "not the happiest time".

He also had sole control over what was played live from 2001-2014.  UYI material outside the huge singles is simply not there.  Even once Slash and Duff came back, that didn't really change outside 'Double Talkin' Jive' and 'Coma', 2 songs Slash was big on.

I think it's just possible he also had a number of personal issues around that time.

FYI, on the last tour, the number of songs from Appetite, in the setlist, is about the same as the number of Use Your Illusion songs.

I guess the logic is that since there are more songs on those albums, there should be more of them in the setlist.... Then you either cut down on something else or do a four hour show...  :hihi:





/jarmo

A fun trivia here for you...

Duff's producer on his upcoming solo album is Shooter Jennings. He's fucking awesome. I've been devouring his albums on Spotify since the Summer. I was shocked when I saw Duff posting a few weeks ago Shooter was his producer. He's a country and southern rock singer, but grew up listening to GNR and he's a long time fan.

"...Sitting in a darkened Paradise Lounge in Boston recently before his gig in the big room next door, Jennings recounts how he and a few friends caravanned to the Sunset Strip with Guns N’ Roses in their eyes. “When I saw Axl (Rose) step off the bus with the hayseed in his mouth, I was sold right then,” he says of the classic “Welcome to the Jungle” video."

Him and Duff go way back. Apparently, he was offer the Velvet Revolver gig after Scott but turned it down. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/shooter-jennings-claims-he-was-offered-velvet-revolver-job-twice/

This is my favorite song for 2018. Even though it came out in 2013, I only heard this 6 months ago.

"I'm a motherfucking gunslinger..." "do you feel me punk.." not the most country lyrics I've heard...

Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evIqfWIpUjc

I'm pretty confident Duff's album is gonna rule!!! |m|

I don't think too many of us would have been broken hearted to lose 'Wichita Lineman', 'Black Hole Sun' or 'The Seeker' for, say...'Bad Obsession', 'Dead Horse', or 'Locomotive'.

Especially BHS. It should've been a cool tribute and then let it be.

Wichita Lineman was done originally as a tribute to Glen Campbell...just sayin. As for covers, Slither is a cover too....could be considered a tribute to Scott Weiland. Let's just be glad our boys have survived "the perils of rock and roll decadence" so far.  :peace:

I'm going to take some hits for this, but The Seeker was one of the highlighta of the tour for me. They play it with loads of energy. I'd take it over Bad Obsession any day.....

Let's just be glad. Impossible to even try to imagine the day when you hear some very bad news. It could be decades away but everyone's time will come.

I kind of like The Seeker but that means the show is ending and the song in itself doesn't mean anything to me as such but it's still quite cool.

IMHO, Axl's version of Wichita Lineman is absolutely beautiful.   
I was never a fan of Slither even when Scott/VR did it.  I would rather GNR do either Fall To Pieces or Set Me Free.

RIP Scott.

Agreed.  Really figured a shorter shelf life for that one.

I like their version of 'The Seeker'.  Think Ax sounds good one it.

Would swap it out for a GNR original in a heartbeat.  But I do like it.

From the very first time I heard 'Set Me Free', thought Axl would sounds cool on it.

On the last tour, that wasn't really an option....

None of them were options. Unlike There Was A Time, Madagascar and so on....  ;)




/jarmo

Speaking of tour, I'm thinking the next one will start around Rock In Rio time, cover S AM and down under.  Hit N AM late fall/winter and Europe the following summer.

I really enjoyed Witchita Lineman live a few months ago. I enjoyed it to the extent that I would like it to be on a cover album, including Dust in the wind, Sailing, its Alright and of course Whole lotta woman!  :peace:

.....and 'Oh My God', which seemed to be on all the alt setlists! I'm assuming that was some sort of in-joke to be honest though.......wasn't it?!

Which only strengthens my argument, really.

UYI tunes aren't even in the conversation.

If you consider how long Coma, Estranged, and November Rain are plus a 10 minute KOHD, you have 40 minutes or more right there (plus-DTJ, YCBM, and LALD). Roughly one hour of the show is UYI.  :P

Good gracious, I forgot Civil War! In Hawaii, they also did Yesterdays......how much UYI do you want?  :hihi:

Here's what you should know about D-Gen:

He's NEVER happy. Never.

That's just who he is, at least as a poster.

If there was more UYI, he'd start saying he wants new music.  If they replaced an AFD classic with new music, he'd complain about losing the classic. 

If they played every song in their catalog, in order(or even on "shuffle"), over 4+ hours...and did  it for an entire year of shows...he'd complain the set list was getting stale....and there was too much TSI.

Honestly, there's no use trying to convince him otherwise (just like he'll respond to this post with indignation and denial, likely).  My advice would be to enjoy what's making you (and a whole bunch of other people, honestly, if ticket sales are any indication) happy.  And let him do what obviously makes him happy. Giggle a little when you read his posts, if you have to.

Some people just aren't satisfied unless they have SOMETHING to complain about.  :beer:

Not really. Because as others pointed out, Yesterdays was among the options.....

The set was pretty balanced. A lot of songs from all the albums. Then some covers people didn't necessarily know, but they were introduced to thanks to GN'R.
Which is exactly what they've done over the years.





/jarmo

The setlist was incredible...just look at the last show...massive! The entire tour was well beyond what we could have expected. To date, it is maybe the second highest grossing tour of all time.  :o

Right now is the time to respect the achievement and have gratitude.

All I can comment on and compare is the show I saw in 2016 vs. the 7 UYI shows I saw on the Illusion tour. The 2016 show was hands down the best of the bunch.


As for the topic, I believe they intend to do what they say they want to do.....put together a new album.  : ok:

During the chats in '08, didn't someone ask Axl if he was purposely omitting certain UYI songs? At the time, it was suggested that there may be legal reasons involving Slash for there being so few UYI songs in the setlist. But iirc Axl said that the reason the setlist was what it was (ie. AFD heavy), is because he thought that's what the fans wanted to hear.

This all stemmed from a conversation about how someone wanted an expansive UYI type box set of live material.

And all I responded with was that I considered it unlikely, given it was not Axl's favorite time and he calls the shots.  And the conversation went on from there.

That's all.

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.

I *think* I know which number that is, but I obviously defer to you in such cases.

Is it 4?  It feels like it's 4.

Oh, hands down the best tour they ever did.  It's the most competent and rock solid as the operation has ever been.

The UYI tour will always be my favorite on a personal level, I suppose.  But objectively, this tour was better given the professionalism and lack of drama and extraneous bullshit.

So was this objectively boring : ok:

Hahaha, not at all.

I just meant that I grew up on the UYI tour, and more to the point, those bootlegs.  Spent probably 5 solid years of summers on the beach playing at least one a day.  So nothing was really going to be able to displace the strong memories I have built up over time.

But the tour was hardly without it's warts.  Axl's behavior was indefensible a lot of the time.  I know it was part of his schtick at the time, but did you really miss it these past few years?  He seemed like he was being forced onstage during the UYI tour at gunpoint some nights, and it showed.  NITL seemed to be a non-stop blast for him.

Was a welcome sight.

Sorry D-Gen.  It doesn't take reading your mind to come to those conclusions.  And I'm not telling you what you think.  I'm summarizing what you consistently say.  And all that takes is a passing familiarity with your posting history.

If you feel that's not a fair assessment....you've really only yourself to blame.

It is what it is. You are who you are. You post what you post.  You're a glass half empty guy...every day of the week,and twice on Sunday.  No matter what's going on in the world of GnR, we can always leave it to you to find the grey cloud.

I know very well what you mean, I was also a victim of that. My first gig ever, school night and only some fractious singer after midnight. But those are the memories. It was just so amazing and no other band could top this. Other gigs can but no other band.

I have paid a lot of money around Europe and I very much appreciate knowing when the show starts. I don't care so much when it finishes because there are always taxis available or in the summer you can just walk. It doesn't matter if it's an hour or two because I don't go anymore if there are some commitments the next day.

Dude, I haven't even seen you around here in like, 2 years.  You really carrying all this around, sport?

Well, always nice to meet a fan.  #Flattered

I am here all the time, man. Soaking it all in.

Less a fan, more a history buff....but you dont need to read very much of your posting history to see what i'm saying is true. Its near constant pessimism and nitpicking and kvetching about one thing or another.

Just own it, man. Denial doesnt suit you. Its ok...you do you.

Anyway, this is off topic. i made my point to skydog. Mo Vaughn.

Any "history buff" would be able to tell you that since 2016, I have never had anything but positive stuff to say.  Because nothing but positive stuff was warranted.

Any "history buff" would probably (correctly) point out that I was often quite critical during the Island Of Misfit Toys Era.  As, in my view, any objective non-apologist fan should have been.

Any "history buff" should recognize...this wasn't yesterday.

Not sorry that I am not sorry that I can't relate to a marinated beef from the middle of Obama's second term.  If that makes me odd (somehow), then I'll wear that.  I'd certainly wear that before I wore the jacket with the long sleeves that I would be required to wear if I thought that made sense to any rational person.

Seek help. 

But I'm done with this.  Back to the music.

An actual sampling of those who are never happys posts that i have read in the past 6 months or so:

But theres no new music.

But theres not enough uyi.

But axl didnt sound note perfect from the albums every single show for 2 years.

But axl sounded better with ac/dc

But TIL sucks live.

But everyone goes to the bathroom during cd songs.

But izzys not there.

But adlers not there.

But guns n roses isn't a viable creative entity anymore

But..but....but...but...but....

There are always going to be people who live for the "buts". And thats not a "beef", its just history.

You can lend them credence, and argue with them, or chuckle and move on. I did the first for awhile...until coming to the conclusion it wasnt worth the words. They are literally HAPPY that way...so why take those illusions all away?

I'm with you. I never, ever thought I would see these guys reunite. I have LOVED following this tour, loved the shows i got to see, love the bootlegs and memories and pictures (thanks jarmo) and JOY I have gotten out of this band the last couple years. Its been a wild, amazing ride.
 
"Buts" just have zero meaning, and zero impact, right now, for me.  Let the "but"-heads have their say.....its what makes them happy. But, honestly, dont let them bring you down or pay them any mind. Enjoy your buzz! :)

On topic: whats next? I cant wait to see. I expect more shows...and maybe even new music, if Richard is to be believed. Let them have a new york minute to catch their breat, and we will see what happens. Its not a sprint.....and it doesnt all have to happen tomorrow,

Merry xmas and happy holidays, man! I hope they treat ya right!

Happy Christmas folks! Love you both....and your posts!

I don't like this. This is starting to sound like Civil War amongst us fans.

"I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh"

Not hardly a war. As i said, its not worth fighting with people who are just never going to be happy/satisfied.
...who are always looking for "the buts".

Its more a difference in perspective and point of view, honestly. And notice, at no point have i said they dont have the right to their point of view. On the contrary, i've said "you do you, boo boo."  So no....no war.  And contrary to DXs opinion, I have no beef with him. I dont dislike him. I just dont take his posts...especially the negative leaning ones....all that seriously. Its just dx being dx.

Also, that difference in perspective/pov has been present in the fandom for, literally, decades. And we are all still here.  :beer:  So i wouldnt worry too much.

Its just never been more easy to see that difference,  given how good things are.

It is what it is.

But...sometimes there needs to be context. That was my entire reason for responding to sky dog...context.  Because sky dog legit seemed befuddled at how someone could express the opinion being expressed. So i simply wanted to point out it was, again, dx being dx. Nothing to see here. And it decended into madness....

Can we just get back to the topic, now?

But of course. But on a side note he is a she, DX :peace:

This is going to come as a huge shock to my mother.  :D

No, I'm a dude.

Suck it!

So what's next?

The band is on a break. Slash will be busy.

Who knows after that once they've recharged their batteries.





/jarmo

So, at least 7 to 10 months with any action  :drool:

The tour visited 42 countries in 400+ days.

159 shows, including the Troubadour.





/jarmo

A break is needed for sure!

BTW - 3 years ago TODAY they were announced to reunite at Coachella. Insane how fast these 3 years went. I remember how excited I was and almost cried LOL that night I booked an airbnb for palm springs for the festival!! INsane!!!

Maybe not - stuff COULD happen in that time that we don't know about or hear anything about.....

All I have to say is remember the dark days of 2001-2006 when literally everything was heresay and nothing was going on not even touring. After a 3 year tour and all the shows we got to see live or thru live streams and if I may use the phrase from the New Day the "Power of Positivity" even if we don't hear anything in regards to GNR for the next few months I think we should all be thrilled what has happened with the band as a whole.

There is no need to worry if we don't here anything for many months. In a way there's no need to either as it's been a long tour being a fan as well :peace:

However, if the months turn to years it's not good.  I hope to hear something like after the summer. Summer of 2019 I might add.

A break for sure is now. But next?

Well we have to wait but hopefully they will announce something in a few month

No doubt Geffen are banging down Axl's door trying to get him to sign off on a live album and DVD from the tour I'm sure they have a lot of Pro shot footage they can use .I'd like to see a Tour type documentary where they show songs from various gigs  around the world obviously the Troubador gig has to be in there but if it's from just the one show ill be happy with that. :beer:

Are they still signed with Geffen?

The Troubadour show won't be getting released- that was said a while back if I recall; that the plan is to keep it as a special moment for those that were there only.

Define Pro shot.

Some of the festivals were filmed by TV crews.

Other than that, I don't know if anything was properly filmed. Some stuff was filmed for example in Detroit in 2016 that was used for social media.





/jarmo

No “not in this lifetime” dvd??  :-[

They filmed Dodger Stadium in 2016 as far as I can remember so that would be the obvious choice ,Coachella and Rock in Rio could also be used as both were filmed professionally.

I think if something comes out as a single concert, you need to look at what Slash is wearing, the bloke (rarely if ever wears the teeshirt from one day to the next, so any shows where the same shirt is worn at the same venue it is there where you will get continuity shots. Duff do likewise, however, has some more generic clothes that appear less of a change.

Axl is always changing during shows so not such an issue there, its expected,

Could be wrong though

That's usually the case with live material yeah.

Mind you, if Jarmo thinks none of the shows were actually recorded to the professional standard that would be required for a DVD release, then we could be looking at it not happening. There's a big difference between some snippets for PR/social media etc and a live recording that usually requires a director, and significantly more equipment. I'm lingering on the feeling that if this had happened, we'd be very aware of it. I was recently at a concert that was recorded for a live DVD release, and the cameras/equipment were very very visual and dominating.

Live audio recording is of course a different matter, and could well have been done for every show of the tour. In fact, I believe (I don't know for sure) that it's standard practice for many big tours to record every show for one reason or another.

Oh yeah, I do remember something like that....




/jarmo

The plot thickens!

The filming equipment can be seen in the Youtube videos from the show. Second night I think....

Anyway, that's the only one I remember being filmed that wasn't for TV or someone else (like Rock In Rio, the Download Festival and Coachella)

If you wanna believe alternativenation This happened.

I don't give Alternative Nation the satisfaction of even clicking their links personally.

What's next?

Obviously... Axl and Slash team up for a goofy buddy cop TV series called "Saul and the Ax-Man".

I hope new music is on GN'R's plans!

Or release the vault!

The Grammys this weekend.

C'mon.....someone had to start the annual rumor! ;)

Who's got the VMA rumor this year?

Who gives flying 0000 about either?
Not being a XXXX, just wondering if this band belongs anywhere near those things this day and age

The fax machine must be out of service....
