Seeing the band live or Chinese Democracy?

[Chief]

Chinese Democracy FOR SURE!! as we all know all too well, the wait has been pretty long!

[LittleFly]

I'm also biased in that I've seen them live. ?However, even if I hadn't seen them live yet, this year or 2002, I would STILL want CD if I had the choice

As for old vs new....doesn't fuckin matter, whoever is playing the music that I love ?

[chineseblues]

I'd much rather see them live then have the album.Getting to see your favorite band up close and person is a way better feeling then listening to any album no matter how amazing it is can top.

[Bono]

Bono on your lats 3 post you have bring up the OLD VS NEW band shit.
Give a break.

You have got to be fucking kididng me! The manner in which I mentioend the original band was completely warrented both times. Not to mention my question to Frozen Inferno was completely honest. I wanted to know which band he was talking about ?due to the fact that his comments were posted shortly after I brought up the idea of seeing the old band in a club in LA. ?Also the manner in which I brought up the original band in the other thread was perfectly fine. It was not done in any way shape or form to insult the new band or fans of the new band or a an act of trolling or spaming the forum. Here's a reality check for ya. A Guns N' Roses forum means the orginal lineup will be mentioned from time to time. Get over it. It'd be like Bon Scott not being allowed to be mentioned on an AC/DC forum. Nothing I said was out of line in any way. WOW! Some of you act at times as if you have nothing but distain for the old band. How can the mere mention "original lineup" ?bug you that much as to make a point of telling someone to stop it? ?Seriously go and reread my last 3 posts in which I mention the originla band. here I'll make it easy for you..

I agree 100%. Too bad that people seem to have the mindset of shitting on the old band and some have it of shitting on the new band just to further their agenda of making one seem better than the other. ?I know who I like better. the old band for me is just more real. It's Guns N' Roses in it's truest form. the new band is extremely awesome and I want to hear CD very much but like you said anyone who chooses not to listen to CD because of Slash or whoever not being involved has some serious issues. Same goes for anyone who was not willing to give VR a chance becasue Axl wasn't involved.

See I was thinking the same thing but I didn't want to start a pissing match between old and new. If I could see the original lineup at the Roxy or Troubador that would trump my desire for Chinese Democracy.

So the old band or the new band?

Now can someone please explain to me what is wrong with any of that, which I posted in regards to the original band. I will delete my account if someone can honestly say to me I was out of line.

I'd rather have the album. Simple as that.

[GNRslave]

ive seen them 3 times so i'd have to go with definitely CD!!

[polluxlm]

Anybody think at some point a crazed fan is going to break into the studio or Axl's house and steal all the recorded material and leak it? Sometimes I catch myself thinking this is the best chance we have at hearing this album.

[1badapple]

I'm excited to see them in November, but if given the choice, i'd rather have the cd.

[Bandita]

Hard choice but I guess being that I have seen them live 4 times this year alone, I think I would like to have CD in my hands-

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

The album for sure.  And I'm not saying that because I've seen them live.

Chinese Democracy... I'd take it anyday over the tour.

Chinese Democracy without the tour > The tour without Chinese Democracy (same setlist, rehash, ect.)

[jazjme]

I totally want CD, in my hands, buts as again, getting to see them go around again, knowing its going to be an awesome time again, I just hold the faith, in the words that it will be out this yr. And I just ride the ride.

Im not biased at all as far as old line-up or new, its GUNS N ROSES, either way. I just been lucky to be born on time to see both bands, in intimate settings and great shows. And I firmly believe that this go around will be changes to the show. I mean think about it, would be complete the most idiotic think to come and do the same show that was shown live on the net, will be shown in theaters, on thurs. Ahh thats probably left best for a differnt topic!

But, I really do want CD!

[Buddha_Master]

Chinese Democracy. Can't believe this is even debatable.

[supaplex]

gonna follow bono and take this into old vs new
if it was between old line-up and album i'd go for the old line-up
if it was between new line-up and album, having seen the new line-up this year, i'd go for the album

[axlslasher]

The album.
