This is the end

[Doc Emmett Brown]

I don't know how many times I've seen "the end of GN'R".

Steven was fired, Izzy left, Gilby gone, Slash, Duff, Matt, Josh, the 2001 and 2002 tours, Buckethead etc....

To me it's a chapter in the band's history that's ending. Until Axl says "this is it", it's not gonna end.

It's funny to think of a band existing without the people who made it.  It's like the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where that black knight is getting his body parts cut off, but he wants to keep fighting cuz he's still got his crazy head.

"You've got no arms left!"    "Just a flesh wound!"

Maybe Bucket wasnt an arm, maybe he was just a toenail, who knows.

What's kind of fucked up for me, is that for the last year, I haven't been in the mood at all, to listen to GN'R. With all the bullshit, it just annoys me to even here the past music. I am sure I will rediscover them again but, for now they just aren't doing it for me anymore. I know that if the day comes that CD does surface, I will fall in love with GNR again.

But as of now, they have been tainted. The departure of Buckethead, effected my perception of GNR greatly, and that saddens me. I had a feeling they weren't going to make it to Rio this year.

I really hope CD comes out soon, but with the departure of Buckethead, the canceled Rio gig...It seems farther away then ever before. I just don't see how it would be possible. Its never good to say never...but, the only feeling I think I have right now...is that I just don't care anymore. I will something good is announced. The negativity has been enough already.

I doubt that it is the end of GN'R but it is for me. This is the last straw. Axl can go fuck himself with a rusty chainsaw.

He is just a big cry baby cunt, who clearly is living in his own little world where everyone is in the wrong except him.

Fuck You Axl.....

Yes, we know how you feel already. Now, if you have nothing else to say, I suggest you try hard to come up with something. It gets boring  fast.

Nobody cares about you

This is the last straw. Axl can go fuck himself with a rusty chainsaw.

Why don't you try it instead?

You've got enormous knowledges about Axl, to me you're a crying C.

Fuck You Axl.....

Like Jim Morrisson singing this song as a "good bye" to The doors and to the music, the Rio cancellation seems to be the "this is the end" for Axl to Guns n' Roses and to the music.

thank you Axl for all you gave us with Guns n' Roses, thank you for November Rain, a real piece of art, thank you for all.
good bye man,
take care.

It's the end? Cool, you take the cyanide pill first and the rest of us will follow. Promise.

[SLCPUNK]

I thought I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. But it turned out to be a train coming!
 

I think the album will still come out one day. But I'm not holding my breath. It's the end today...maybe tomorrow it will start again. You NEVER know with this guy.

i know that this was sed in a serious way but  

[christina_rose]

First of all, if you read what Axl said, it says:  "Regardless we hope to announce a release date within the next few months." I didn't want to see that show cancelled, just like I wish the tour wasn't cancelled. But, as other have said, at least is was advanced notice. I have been into Guns since they first "disbanded". I started following them right as they broke up. I sat and read every rumor and half-truth there was, hoping for something, ANYTHING. Then there was the shows in Las Vegas two years in a row. Then MTV. And finally, after years of hoping and waiting, I got to see Axl live. Yes, I said AXL. Not that everyone else isn't important. But he's the reason I started following Guns in the first place. My dream came true. I saw him play. If I never see him or anything new again, I will always have that memory. I can't say I wouldn't be upset. I would be very upset. I hope this isn't the end. I hope that it is a new beginning. But if for some reason it is, then it's been fun. But I won't give up just yet.

This is the end...my only friend, the end..

[KillYourIdols]

Doesn't something have to have a beginning to have an end?

This is not the end of GNR.  many of you think it might be but I don't think they are done.  Axl very easily could of called it quits in the letter but he is looking into the future now.  The end came a while ago for the old GNR but this is the new Guns and Roses and this is just another stepping stone for them.  

[HoldenCaulfield]

When "the end" comes, it will be obvious, as all of this talk is pure speculation. Until Axl comes out and says "I'm sorry to all of the fans, but things have not worked out for us since we began this journey, so before things get anymore out of hand, we're all calling it quits. There will be no more Guns N' Roses," this ain't over, not by a long shot. Maybe dealing with Buckets erratic behavior has been a part of keeping this project from getting up to the starting line. I think Axl really, really wanted Bucket to be a part of this, but at the same time, Bucket had another agenda. As disheartened as I am, it's not the end. Axl's carried on for the past 10 years, and I don't see him laying down for some ass with a chicken-fettish...

[insupportofaxl]

It's not the end at all.  It's the beginning

[KillYourIdols]

You guys are funny.

BUCKETHEAD'S erratic behavior? I bet when Axl looks at Bucket he can see himself reflected in bucket's white mask. You wanna talk about erratic behavior, start with the man Axl himself.

What exactly did Buckethead do? He got sick of fucking not having material released, recording all the time with no results, having tours cancelled, riots, no shows, etc. Can you blame the guy?

And before you people get all on your high horses about "contracts," contracts are broken all the time. Hell, Axl was under contract to play Vacnouver, Philly, and all the other cancelled shows. Not to mention the ones in Europe. Axl is under contract to release a number of albums that don't take 8 years to make.

Don't play the blame game without putting it on Axl.

I realize everyone has some bitterness and needs a place to vent and apparently grieve, but I'm getting extremely tired of reading all the "THIS IS THE END, I NOW HATE GnR" posts. None of you have a clue if it is the end. All the BH supporters think that his departure means the end of the band, and that's ridiculous.
Does it mean they can't pull off a live performance at a huge festival. Yes. Does it mean that the years of recording for the new CD will never be out? Of course not.
That's fine if you're "against Axl" or "no longer waiting" for CD. We get the point. But for people to declare that it's "THE END" when they have no idea what the internal goings-on of the band...it's almost sad. Giving repeated "F-Us!" to Axl or buckethead on this board is also sad. Get a grip.
