New GNR Members Sold Out Their Integrity

[D]

maybe just a little, anytime u are sort of a cult followed figure and jump to a mega super band it can be considered a sell out of sorts but who cares as long as they help axl make a great cd i could care less bout there integrity

[axlsalinger]

the saddest part of this whole sordid saga is that out of the ashes of the old band, Axl managed to put together what was in many ways a better band than the first one!! And then, he proceeded to never give them a chance to really show their stuff. Man, this band could have been an amazing story.

Now it's just a very depressing joke.

As someone posted previously, how people can remain so positive is absolutely baffling. It's nice to daydream, but at some point you have to get your head out of the clouds, and look at the cold hard facts.

GNR is dead.

[McDuff]

All of the member of the new GN'R are just hired musicians,that's what alot of people seem not to understand.Axl is the one who calls all of the shots,sure the band members wrote some of the music,but that doesn't mean that they have any say into whatever Axl wants to do

If they where HIRED MUSICIANS then why the hell arnt people comin' n' goin'!!!

Maybe,I dunno,none of us really know shit when it comes to GN'R these days,and they are hired musicians,you can believe it or not,I could care less really

I don't think they sold their credibility.  All of the guys in the band, Tommy, Fortus, Brain, have said that they are very proud of the work they've done for the new album.  Tommy says that Axl pushed him to heights he never would have reached otherwise.  They also have had plenty of time to pursue their own projects.  The band has been a very solid unit since 2000, Buckethead is always something of an enigma who marches to his own beat so him leaving the band wasn't a surprise but even when he left, Axl was gracious and didn't rip him which shows that Buckethead's contributions were very important and appreciated.

totally agreed

likewise

[WARose]

was there any reason to bump up this thread???

obviously the band members aren`t allowed to say anything until the announement is out....

[Origen]

You bumped up the first thread of the forum from over 2 years ago just to say that

i did??

i guess it was a better thread than this one

[Poof!]

Who are you to judge their level of integrity? That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard.

Are there actually people out there who think they really know these people and their inner workings - not to mention the inner workings of GN'R?

Listen up, my friend, your world is on media-induced life support. Don't let it go so far that you actually believe you can pass judgment on people you've only read about. Pull the plug...

[nesquick]

I'm afraid some of them are just here for the money, for their paycheck, and not for the music. That's just a weird impression I have sometimes.
I hope it's just an impression and that it is not the case.

you could have been making those lists for years and they would have always changed

It's axl and some guys he hired.. No one is denying their contributions or their guts for sticking it out, you just can't get any people of the street and call it guns n roses..

I hate when people try and force others that this is gnr.. For me it's axl and some dudes no one has ever heard of.. No one is untouchable here but axl..

Finally I think BH was cool simply because he said I have to wait, re do parts, fuck this I'm off to do my thing.....

For a new band to wait so long is a real shame, and to not even be able to speak their minds because they know something said wrong could ruin their chances sucks

brain used to joke a little about his motives though.....

i know about your opinion about this band, but i think this is definitely the final line up.... robin and tommy are in gnr for almost 9 years now by the way.....   your right, it sucks to have to wait for a new band`s music that long. i guess that`s axl`s privilege....

but i don`t think they`re forbidden to speak their minds about all this... i`m fine with them not talking that much before the announcement is finally issued.... if it`s actually about to come out next week of course

i think bucket could`ve said whatever he wanted and axl wouldn`t have fired him

[Carlos_f_Rose]

mmm oh yes they are hired gunners... and that sucks!

Don't bump 2-year-old threads unless you have something of substance to add. Thank you.
