Injury Forces Guns N' Roses To Postpone Concerts

[JB9988]

this sucks, well now they can do shit with cd.

yeah they can, recording is done, they just can't play shows.. they could even shoot a video...

thats what i was saying by saying they cand do shit with cd now i mean they can get going and promote if recording is done. decide on a single, shoot a vid, anything besides sit around and say when should we finish recording another 10 years sound good?

I'm really hoping that the theories floating around about the similarities between the Tommy situation and the BH illness are not true at all.

99.9 percent of every theory on this message board is false

What a bunch of cry babies some of you are.

First you spend years saying this isn't a real band, but when they postpone five shows because the band's musical director/bass player is injured, you cry for a replacement.

Un-fucking-believable.


Keep comparing GN'R to all the money grabbing bands, because as we all know, GN'R is just another band..... That's why we all love GN'R, they're just like everybody else. Right? 



It sucks that they had to cancel, but these things happen.

They know what's best for them, it's not up to you to decide.

Here we go again...lumping the people who complain about one thing with the people who complain about a totally different thing.

So it's definitely true Jarmo?

[NicoRourke]

This sounds like bogus to me; if true. I think that GnR should really come forward with a statement about everything, this way they keep losing credibility, and there's not much left.

I agree ... I'm starting to be really tired with all what's (not) happening. What the fuck is happening behind the curtains ??

I'm wondering what the guys in the band have to face ... Either they're fucking us really good, or they have a lot of issues and problems to solve to get this album out.

I don't know, I've never seen that in my life.

Still, as long as it's not on the band's official site, I don't buy the fact that all the japanese dates are cancelled.

Yep.   

That's why I'm hoping these are false as well.

In comparison, people quit, are fired, die...every day...and they're replaced and life goes on. ?Any well organized company is prepared for situations like this. ?I worked for a manufacturing company that had an explosion...we had to move our entire manufacturing/production setup to another building. ?We had ZERO late shipments and were running at full capacity after two weeks. ?Guns is not well organized...not prepared...and worst of all, do not respect their customers.

This whole act is getting so tired, so old, so ridiculous. ?I want Chinese Democracy as much as anyone else...hopefully I'll live long enough to get it.

[Axlfreek]

?Guns is not well organized...not prepared...and worst of all, do not respect they're customers.

They dont respect there customers ?


what do you call playing over 80 shows around the world last year ?

they did it for the fans.

Yeah, Guns N' Roses is not a band, it's an organization, a company with hundred of employees.

Tell that to my bank account.

so you want a band to replace a member 5 days from starting a tour because he got injured?
are you serious?
can anyone even think about something so stupid?
do you even know what a band is?

I hear that ?

Axl: Okay guys next on the list, we have to have a back-up replacement in case Tommy hurts his hand for some reason. Any ideas ?

Oh...so you know when he got injured? ?You know what day he "fell down the stairs"? ?That's funny, because Tommy doesn't say in the article.

[AxlCorey]

Yeah, Guns N' Roses is not a band, it's an organization, a company with hundred of employees.

See jarmo's post for more info about your complain.

Who knows how many employees are employed by Axl/GNR....you can't deny at this point Guns N' Roses is a 'brand'. ?It's just a comparison anyway, although in my opinion a realistic one.

[Nytunz]

Sometimes its ok, to get a replacement.. but in this case there is no hurry. They havent started the tour.. and it seems like
Tommy will be ready in two weeks.. so i understand they decide to postpone insted of get a replacement. Who knows.. maybe since this
is the world tour, they have desided to do filming and promo stuff for CD, and then it would be the best thing to include all the members..

[NickNasty]

fortune just ain't smiling on these folks it seems..

hopefully tommy is able to recover well.

and sucks to anyone who somehow thinks that guns (or any band) needs to have fucking contingency plans for everything that may happen in life.

it's one thing to carry an extra drummer when the other one is expecting a child--thats something you know about long in advance and can do something about, as they did last year.

but how you plan for someone taking a nasty fall  or slipping on ice, having a death in the family,etc. is beyond me.

shit happens.

I hate people like you.
Seriously, I do.
I think the way of thinking everything is about money is a birth defect.

[AxlCorey]

so you want a band to replace a member 5 days from starting a tour because he got injured? YES
are you serious? ?YES
can anyone even think about something so stupid? ?
