Give it a rest.....don't you get bored with this?  You're never gonna convince someone to change their minds....and we don't expect you to change your mind either

[Jonathan]

Can't you just give it up?

[darknemus]

I prefer my performers semi-sober, sorry.

Regardless - what's better doesn't matter..you won't see a reunion, period, until this chapter of Axl's life plays out.  So, basically, either get over it or just keep playing your old Illusion bootlegs and dwell in the past.

semi sober?? I love how you new gnr fans? just trash the legacy that others helped build...like it means piss.
You're fooling yourself
Axl sounds like Mickey Mouse


I get so angry when people say Axl sounds better than ever....UGHHH


Anyway,

 I'll stop...

PS.

 ?I wonder what it's like for Robin to get up in front of tens of thousands of people and jam the fuck out of SOME ELSES song...


I digress, back to my cave....

[Jonathan]

Thank you.

A. Considering my first exposure to Guns was a crappy taped copy of "Nice Boys" from Live Like a Suicide on the schoolbus when I was like, 11, I'd hardly consider myself a 'new fan'.

B. What the original guys did matters, very much so.. I'll never deny that.

C. What Axl's doing now matters more to me - sorry.  Call it a double standard but I have no issues w/ Axl with other musicians.  On the other hand, I don't like Slash w/ Weiland.  Its just a matter of personal preference.

D. The original guys are NO LONGER IN  THE PICTURE.  So dwelling on them or how much better things would be with them is pointless, in my opinion.

Why even bother with this?  There are precious few people who say Finck is better than Slash, I've hardly ever heard anyone say that.  Similar point, not many people say Axl sounds better than ever, but better than he did during a lot of the UYI shows, at least during the Hammerstein shows.  His voice sounded better at RIR on SCOM than it did at a lot of the UYI shows

I'm just going to copy and paste one of my posts from a previous thread, it gets old saying the same thing every time

"I'm 22 yrs old. I remember listening to Gn'R sonce I was 5. My first concert ever was Gn'R when I was 9 yrs old. I love the music the old band created, and always will. However, I could give two shits about Slash, Duff, ect. now, because they aren't in my favorite band anymore, and most likely never will be again. Now, I'm focused on Guns N' Roses, and right now Guns N' Roses is the band that took the stage last night. You can call me an Axl worshiper...in fact, i'll even agree with you on that one. I have the guy's face and name tattooed on my leg, so yeah, I'm an Axl follower. You guys keep comparing the old to the new. Why? There's no point to it. If you prefer the old, great, but stop slamming the new, your constant bitching about it isn't going to change things. Either take what your gettting and enjoy it, or, if it's not something you like, move on. No one cares that you miss the old band, and people that love this band now, are not going to change their minds and agree with you, nor do I expect anybody who doesn't like the mew band to suddenly agree with me. It's perfectly fine if you like the old band, just quit trying to bring this band, and their current fans down. I've seen the new band three times, and loved every second of it. I don't give a shit if it wasn't the greatest musical moment ever, but ya know what? It was to me."

whats with all these lame comparisons of late?

It amazes me that some 'fans' are in constant need of validation in terms of constantly comparing these hired guys to the real Guns.

No amount of you pulling up old obscure bad ?clips and comparing it to 10 secs of coherent playing from the new guys in what was an otherwise poor performance, is going to convince anyone other than the most delluded of souls.

Newsflash. There is no comparing.

Do what I do, be a fan of Axl and his new musical endeavour - enjoy it and support it for what it is- the legend that is Axl Rose with a bunch of ?hired (admittedly talented) musicians

[HoldenCaulfield]

I won't dub one of those particular performances "better" than the other, but I'll say that I PREFER the current GNR's said performance. It's all subjective, which is something you don't seem to understand. I like the current band 10 times more than I ever did the old one. I just personally like Robin Finck more than Slash, his style and playing appeals to me more, and I think Axl is in fine form now. He's got a maturity to him that he didn't then, which don't get me wrong, he was awesome back then as well, a total live wire. I'll take the new band... ?

axl sounds better than ever   

How come you get all the good avatars?   

[destroier]

I think the new band sounds better at times, worse at others. As for Axl, he just doesn't have it like he did.

This topic and the other comparison topics are boring.  Poor message board is getting clustered with trash.
