its part of? their jobs, what would make them think they had some kind of influence in the band, even if they help in the process of composition...
um, isnt the making of the music the most important thing for a band? What else would you like these guys to do? They have no say in when the album comes out. So does that make them hired guns? Rock Band= Music.....Music=Band....New Gnr Helped make the music. I know they dont go out shopping together on a daily basis but honestly who gives a flying fuck?And if you do...why?
Those guys are just a media, or a way to reach perfection for Axl,? but at last he is who takes the final decission and so far, he doesnt seem happy with the results, or maybe he is just waiting the right moment... the nu gnr are hired
STOP THE PRESSES! The members in GNR are hired! No way Really? It amazes me that people on here dont realize that. Yes, the guys have been hired. In case you forgot the old band broke up. So in order for Uncle Axl to pick up the pieces and continue GNR, he had to create a new band. Now again, in case you forgot, Uncle Axl made a name for himself quite some time ago. So at this point in time he wasnt living in gutter and wasnt really hanging out and clubs and bars. So he didnt meet his future band mates by chance. They were selected on their previous work and basically word of mouth from other membersand friends. So unike most bands these guys didnt meet on 1 drunken night.
As for the end of your comment. You basically, kinda described old gnr. Axl was the captain. It was his way or no way. His videos or no way. His showtime or no showtime. Get my drift? Were they hired guns to help create Axls vision?
Its no secret that Axls controls the ship. That doesnt mean he doesnt get input from the other members in regards to band direction, goals,tours,videos,etc. But ultimately...like with the old band he has the final say.....
Bu what is most important is that in regards to the creating and writing of the music...like the old band, Axl and the freaks work as a "band". They make the songs together. Everyone will have their own lil stamp on it. You brough up a quote...now i ask you to read all the quotes about the recording process....
As for your quote....so the fuck what. Dont you think its better that they dont wanna play the old stuff. See this is exacetly what I mean...most of you haters want your cake and eat it to. Now if he said he would want to play the gnr songs u would turnaround and say that tommy and the freaks wants to ride the gnr name and songs.
These guys are playing the old stuff for you. Not for them. They sucked it up on the 2002 tour because Axl felt you the fan would appreciate the old songs 1 last time and hold u over till the new stuff. The guys played them and for the most part held their own. So fuck off.
Hi younggunner, well man its cool that you took time to try to make me understand your point of view, about NuGunners, I really apreciate it, specially because You made me think different about the guys... but only one thing, Did you have to FUCK ME off
(So Fuck off according to your quote)? haha, have fun dude...
