It struck me when considering GN'R concerts are currently selling out in Europe - are Europeans more open to the idea of a Guns without Slash etc..?

I know that hip hop is nowhere near as big as it is in the US (or even down under), so this could have a lot to do with it, as it seems a lot of bands that are kind of washed up in other parts of the world still seem to make reasonable careers in other markets.

But does anyone think that perhaps Europeans are a little more sympatheic to Axl? or perhaps some of the negative press from 02 (riots, botox, VMAs etc..) didnt quite filter through?

Any thoughts??

I'm from Finland and everyone I've talked to knows that Axl is the only original member of the band. And I don't mean just the fans, but everyone else too.

rofl rofl Imagine all the 'Where's Slash" chants. Honestly, I think if he would just put out the fucking album people would be open to this new band. Axl just wont let people adjust to this new version of GNR. All he does is AFD rehash. He should expect people to want Slash because 95% of the songs they play is stuff from 87-93.

Nah, I dont think so. while I was waiting in the line to get tickets I heard people make "jokes" of "Axl shows" and Slash not being in the band.
Also most people know Velvet Revolver here now. ofcourse theres always these "not informed" people, but they certainly aren't the majority.

Yep.. I'll make it clear Cheesy : I agree that most people here think that Slash is still in the band. Also Slash isn't really as known here as in the States.

most of the people buying tickits for a GNR show, knows Slash is not in the band.
And i dont think that matters, people have been waiting for Axl.

And, Slash isnt known here? hell, he is.. everyone with a little knowlege about GNR knows Axl, Slash, and Duff..

That is correct. The people who aren't into GN'R might not be aware of the current GN'R lineup, but the people who are buying tickets for GN'R do. I've yet to encounter a GN'R fan who didn't know that Slash was in VR now.

VR is a pretty unknown band outside the USA. It's a small band

People in Europe can accept the reality that Slash isn't with GNR anymore whereas in the USA, we are still debating!!

Like AXL said "Live and Let die!!"

Well, at least in Holland everyone knows who Slash is, and knows he ain't in GnR anymore. Most people also know he's in Velvet Revolver.

I think that people are really tired of Hip-Hop right now cause rock seems to be getting bigger. But also festivals have been very popular for the last 2 decades and most festivals are rock orientated. So people are just curious to what Axl has been doing.....

People, Slash is one of the most known guitarists in the world for the general population, if you ask 10 people who are not fans of GnR in particular if they can name some guitarists, I can almost promise that 4-6 of them will name Slash...  And people in Europe are well awere of Slash, and many are awere that he is not in GnR anymore. Velvet Revolver toured here and have sold their album well here. In Norway there have been articles about GnR,and VR, and TV interviews with Slash and Duff in the major media (newspapers and TV)

well a lot of people i know were surprised that GnR were still alive and kicking...even Slash is out of the band, the name has established itself in the past.
There will be some people who will be surprised that Slash is not in the band, but hey if they get a good show people will forgive and forget

Don't think so Wink

Everybody knows here (meaning Europe) that Axl is the only original member that's still in GN'R. Some even know that Dizzy's still there too.

What they don't know is that GN'R still EXISTS Grin
