question about the cancelled dates in jan

[jarmo]

jarmo does seem a lot different as of late.

You would be too if you had to deal with all the negativity in a time when you should be excited.

I saw GN'R live for the first time since 1991 this year, we got to hear some new songs, we have a new member in the band, I was fortunate enough to be able to see GN'R abroad and even go to North America for the first time ever (and see them there) and we got a letter from Axl with a tentative release date.

Yet there are people out there who are trying very hard to make it impossible, for those of us who are happy about these things, to feel happy/excited.

I don't get it. I don't get the negativity now. I understood some of it in 2005. Not anymore.

I hear you jarmo and I think it sucks too.

I'm not being negative and I'm also very excited with all the stuff that's been happening.

I was also looking forward to meeting you guys in Toronto but I was in too much pain to make it.

I still am and I'm trying very hard to remain happy and positive.

Just remember 1 thing and that's that most of us appreciate you and this site and I'm one of them.

Not to get too mushy but, it kind of hurts to see you getting upset like this.

Please keep a cool head and even though it's hard, try to not let others negativity get you down bro.

Life's too short and it's not worth it to get upset with other peoples negative comments.

Your site is awesome and you should be proud of it and GNR is probably grateful to you too.

Here's to 2007 being a great year for all of us and also for Axl and GNR!!!

Perhaps one day GN'R will do something you don't question...

[D]

who says it will be live shots?!
and live shots are corny. it sucks. leave that for bon jovi. GNR should try to push the envelope.

Yeah u are right. GNR have never used live shots in a video




The album wont come out till March 6th but Video, single, radio visits, TV promotions etc etc.

At least Axl gave people over a month's notice of the cancellations.

Given that 2006 in the main has be very sucessful for the band, it seems more than reasonable that Axl et al want to continue that sucess. For those that have dipped out on the shows, its bad luck, but at least its been done way in advance so as to lessen the inconveinience, some have turned up at venues and got a no-show before.

As for the promotion, I would guess that the band would want to stay away from using live stuff for what is a very important period in the history of Guns n' Roses.? The video of the next single I think should tell the story, Better, The Blues, Maddie or IRS would be served better by a story board formatted video rather than live shots.? No doubt there are a few live show images that could be incorporated, the photo of Axl giving the finger that was on the offical site for example.? Taking it to pass works done, WTTJ is a better Video than PC or LALD yet of the three (on sales terms) the less sucessful.

The idea for cancelling the shows is about continuity, its about getting outside agencies and experts booked up to be with Guns n' Roses for X amount of days (or weeks) to work on pre-production, the shoot and the post production stuff.? The album has been in the making for donkeys years at the cost of Millions of $$$$, does anybody really beleive that the release would be done on the cheap?

It would be like launching a Rolls Royce with an emulsion paint job....

well also depends on the "muse" on how fast they will be able to make the "finishing touches". By cancelling the rest of the tour they are on the save side id the "muse" does need longer then planned

[Fingers]

It seems like now GNR gets hell for cancelling shows-I know Philly, Vancouver, things like that don't help, but there are concerts here in Cleveland that get cancelled due to scheduling conflicts, illness all the time-and not all of these artists post a long e-mail like Axl did-like I said, he sometimes dosen't help his own cause due to past events, but if people are going to bitch about 4 concerts cancelled a month in advance, especially if you are not even going to it, then take a break, like Axl said. The negative stuff after a great year for GNR after a couple years of total silence is amazing to me.
