What frustrates most people is the fact that we (at least I) would like to celebrate this music during Axl's LIFETIME WITH HIM, exchanging energies, ya know?
Plus if you are waiting for Godot, it's better waiting with others than waiting alone.
I get what you're saying damien... but don't worry. most of the people who get involved in what appears to be a serious matter here with eachother discussing stuff with other fans - are enjoying themselves. I know I do.
I've alway's likened this to my experiences waiting on line for the general admission shows in Vegas. For HOB, and the 2 Hard Rock Gigs I literally stood on line and stood in front of the stage waiting for the show a total of... hm 9+11+10 hours = 30 hrs...
THIRTY hours - thats some serious time - BUT All the hours I spent on line
I had a blast hanging out with other die hard fans talking basically about GN'R. So its like that here.
We are here because we're anticipating / hoping for / believe in the release of the material and a tour from our favorite band... We're serious' about that. But we are having a lot of fun hanging out with all the other fans in the meantime.
We are exchanging our energies with eachother - sometimes we pick up someone elses spirits and sometimes someone else picks up ours... In this 'circle' we sustain the GN'R spirit until the time when it will be - as Conny said - exchanged with GN'R - it's source.
AND like you said we're doing it on the best damn GN'R site on the net.
