Stop The Maddness Refuge For The Fans That Are Excited About 2006 AND GNFR's

[codenameninja]

Some people are taken this abit to seriously and besides, but if you want it that way here is my 2 cents.

You just can't expect people not to miss the founding members of the band, it's just crazy to think you can. Yes there is a new band now and most people are in full support of that and this is a great place to discuss the current lineup. But what I don't get is when people say "people need to stop living in the past" it has shit to with "living in the past" it's just not forgetting what Guns N Roses was and what the band at that time ment to a hell of alot of people.

The general public/the world at large is always going to see Slash as GnRs guitarist, plain and simple. You can't erase what the band did. GnR were known for being this dangerous group of people that for a very short period of time (from 87-93) made musical history, how the hell do you expect people just to forget it?

I support all era's of the band  if I didn't I wouldn't be here. But to me there are two versions of the same band: THE Guns N Roses and THIS Guns N Roses. The current lineup is GnR but it isn't "the" GnR. If Axl wants this lineup of the band to be taken seriously he needs to release the lineup once and for all and enough of this bullshit and give this lineup it's own identity instead of living in the shadows of another band.

.i bet the new line up would release CD tomorrow if they could

some valid points there, and I dont expect anyone to just forget the old band..  I still remember them, its just tiring to see every thread turn into whining about the fact that slash or whoever is gone and then it goes to old vs. new.    its not like the mods here stop people from talking about it, just go to Dead Horse.   This is 2006, not 1992 so theres no reason to bring the old guys into the topics here.  Its not about hating the ex-members or disrespecting them, its about supporting the 2006 era.

cause GNR is more than a punctual thing. it's a whole experience. and when i say i like GNR, i'm talking about the whole package, my old dvds, and my newly donwloaded mpeg.

that's it. there is no new band, old band. there is this whole fuckin thing called Guns n' Roses that started 20 years ago and is still going.
The NAME is everything. members come and go. they are part of the name history.
they don't control it.


GUNS N' ROSES is GUNS N' ROSES no matter who they are, as long as the music rocks.


for all that i know, Velvet Revolver IS Guns n' Roses, it's whole damn universe.

[horsey]

ahh i dun see VR ?touring and putting there whole self into it.i do see axl's return the best ever !
so for the old members who aren't in g n' r now.oh well go for it axl do your best.and i think his best is the best ever.and do believe when the time is right cd will be out on shelves in stores.don't worry bout ?dat.

[WhatIsItMan]

Think of it like this:

I am a Chicago White Sox fan.

I loved them when they had Frank Thomas, Carlton Fisk, Bo Jackson, Jack McDowell, etc.

Those guys don't play for the White Sox anymore.

I still love the White Sox.

Does this make any sense?  heh

[Bandita]

I personally don't think that anyone is asking anyone to FORGET the old lineup because of course they were the ones who made a huge impact on history initially. ?But it's the constant pining for reunions that are probably not going to happen that get annoying. ?

If you don't respect this band for what it is today you really don't have a place on this board, IMO-or you do, just in the other sections....however you want to look at it. ?

But if you are simply a member here to bash the current lineup and re-hash the past you probably need to find a new hobby.

Could not of said it better myself

[jarmo]

maybe i'm the only one who thinks this but, for me

Well, unfortunately for you, all those guys weren't on stage when you saw them this summer.

Therefore, Guns N' Roses in 2006 is the band I listed.


So if you're only here to point out how the rest should still be in the band or something, you're at the wrong board.

Jarmo have a word with velimir and Jim Bob

Stop acting all holy now. ?

[brock]

We support G N R, however they are constituted...BUT WE NEED AN ALBUM, NOT A REPEAT OF 2002

It's an exciting time for any real GN'R fan

Sit back and just enjoy the ride 

[sjgotnitro]

I do not think that will happen, 2006 has been so different. Axl is happy the guys look happy.  Look at the stuff that happend during the europe tour axl kept on rocking. 

It is time to rule the world again.

[sjgotnitro]

It's an exciting time for any real GN'R fan

Sit back and just enjoy the ride?

Thanks for the support.

Again Mysteron thanks for everything and we really appreciate everything that is going on. Only a few bad apples 

[Shirell]

I'm loving the 'new' band, no complaints here ?*happy...happy...happy*

[Voodoochild]

There's a brazilian song wich says:

"its you who loves the past and can't see how the new is always coming'"

IMO, you can love the old band as much as you can. But they are gone, and you can't do anything but deal with the new. Whinning will not help at all and you'll miss how great this new band is and how you can enjoy it for what it is.

I am tired of whinning about Slash's departure 10 years ago.
I am tired of whinning about how Robin is not Slash.
I am tired of bitching about Buckethead/BBF.
I am tired of bitching about Pittman's synths.

It's a waste of time be in a board that supports the new band just to complain about it. Maybe people likes to get pissed, I dunno...

That's a very good call. I will like the new band so much more when they tour with CD 

..a proper CD tour, i'll go and se'em again then. The last time was back 2002.

I think poeple just like to post or argue.

I'm thrilled to death about the last 6 months. I'm looking forward to what is yet to come.
