Image of the new G'n'R

[captain_harlock]

Hello, I'm new to this this forum and I'd like to apologize for my poor english in advance...
OK to the point: I really think that the look of the new g'n'r sucks! Sorry mates but I always thought that, what g'n'r stood for is, jeans, leather jackets, Les Paul guitars and angry/pissed off/dangerous r'n'r music & lyrics! I don't really like the look of the new band. What's with the electropunk look, the buckets on the heads (I know, he's gone already), and the gay outfit (one of the two keyboardists-I hope he's not Dizzy)? This isn't the g'n'r I used to like as a kid! I really appreciate the image/attitude of VR more than G'n'R! Anyone else who feels the same way as I do?

have you seen scott from vr recently?

--have you seen scott from vr recently?

Yes, he is quite different than Axl, but yet again VR is a different band than GNR, even though their image and attitude ressembles to the old GNR more than that of the new GNR

--we're in 2004.

So what you're saying is, musicians should adapt their style to the current trends, so that they are acceptable and not considered as outcasts right? I mean that's sooo "rock'n'roll" !!!
(I'd be really pissed off if Iron Maiden did something like that!)

[AdZ]

I think he means people grow and things change, how many people do you know that are still wearing the same thing they wore 10 years ago?

no onessaying that but what you have to remember is that gnr today is a different band. you cant expect these guys to dress like slash and duff that be even less rock n roll. besides im sure buckethead was wearing a mask and bucket a long time before he joined gnr. why not wait for the album like the rest of us (as hard as iy may be) then hopefully they can let the music do the talking. by the way personaly i dont think gnr have lost any of there attitude judging by the few new songs weve been able to hear...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

WAKE UP ITS TIMTO DIE!!!!!!!

well we are talking about the looks no? i dont like the look of the new band very much (i really dont care much for the looks anyway ) . Axl looked pretty cool in rock in rio 3 , i dont like the jersey (sp?) thing , theres one guy that was like from village people , i dont know who he is , then Robin Finck (sp?) looks like he wants to be weird and get attention from that . but im just talking from the visual point , im not saying they are not real or something

What your saying is its fine that Scott dresses in gay outfits because hes in a band with your Slash?

Dont let your 'love' for Slash cloud your judgement!!!

So you prefer Iron Maiden to GNR.  

I?d be more than pissed if GNR (or VR) did anything like that.

GNR is GNR. Not I M, nor you either.

- Now The rest of the band looks ok. Fortus is probably the only "Rock n' Roll" guy in that band. Unfortunately,One "Rock n' Roll" person in a Rock n' Roll band is not enought...

Care to explain what you think is wrong with Tommy, Dizzy and Brain?  

So you'd prefer if Axl ran around in spandex shorts and a t-shirt saying "Nobody Knows I'm a Lesbian"?

1) Tommy, Dizzy and Brain are ok.
2) you know what? yeah I prefer.

riiiiiiiiiiight becuase we all know that the clothes that an artist wears makes him a horrible or talented artist......so what you're saying is....if randy rhodes ran around in a mumu and head turban he would have sucked at guitar?

[nesquick]

no, what I want to explain is that Guns n' Roses is a band that have a past. with a specific image. you can't change things like that when you want.
nevermind, their look truly sucks! and that's the truth.

[Booker Floyd]

you can't change things like that when you want.

Obviously, you can...

This bands wardrobe is the least of my concerns.

Riiiiiight because artists since Elvis, the Beatles, The Stones, Aerosmith, etc have all changed their styles and images many times and no one would ever remember who they are.
