[gnr2006]

Does every band have the quality music GN'R has?





/jarmo

I don't know.  We hav'nt heard the quality of this band's music on an album.



Sorry, Jarmo.  Had to be said.

Haha, very funny. Had to be said. Never mind those demos, or all the tracks we've heard live.

[The_Wretched]

I think people really need to calm down... Instead of actually bitching, seems like people don't care about Tommy's health.

Hope he's fine, really. Not only for the band and/or fans...

God, he hurt his hand...he doesn't have cancer for crissake!

Yeah, no shit. I hope he gets better but somehow I can't feel bad for a millionaire musician who cannot figure out how to properly walk down a flight of stairs and then busts his ass in the process.......one foot in front of the other Tommie....that da boy...

You are the biggest moron i have ever encountered.

no he's not. have you met George W. is person?? guarantee you will take that back!!! lol...

If every other artist is so fucking great and GN'R are horrible and have nothing special about them, what the fuck are you doing here?

[BurningHills]

Please tell me this is all a sick joke...anyone? 

[Danny]

Haha, very funny. Had to be said. Never mind those demos, or all the tracks we've heard live.

You mean the demos that the band doesn't like us listening to because they are unfinished? ?As for the live songs, they are great...for the people that get to hear them live. ?Tell that to the fans in Japan, South Africa, and possibly Australia and Mexico.

Yeah, never heard any of those tracks as SBD bootlegs before. I heard they don't have the internet in Japan, so they haven't heard it.

Antarctica just called, the demos just leaked there.

[The_Wretched]

they are great musicians. i think they are even better than the original GNR musicians...

[TrixAreForKids]

I would expect that GnR' to release some kind of statement regarding their intentions for 2007. I find it hard to believe that Tommy's wrist is the reason for all of this. Afterall, it's not difficult to have a replacement bass player for the shows that Tommy can't make. They did that for Brain.

/jarmo

No...GNR is better than every other artist in my opinion...but we have not heard anything OFFICIAL from this band, really. ?I'm not slighting them or anything. ?I'm not ripping on the current tour situation (in fact, I totally aggree with it and understand that they would want to cancel without their bass player). ?I'm just saying, it's hard to compare the quality of music between bands when we don't have anythind definitive from this band to compare to other bands. ?Don't be such a spaz, dude.

Exactly.  THOSE demos.  The ones we can't watch on YouTube anymore.

[Axlfreek]

Nobody here knows exactly what goes on behind the curtains of the GN'R camp so we can't just jump to conclusions and speculate on hwy the dates were cancelled. It could be a million reasons. I don't know, but I still trust Axl.

I don't think you guys understand hat I'm saying here. ?You're acting like I am against this band and it's quality of music. ?In reality it's the opposite. ?I just don't think it's fair towars GNR to judge the quality of the music based on bootlegs of demos and live stuff. ?

Right on dude.

Though, unfortunately, there are many people here who feel like they are "owed the right" to speculate, and then owed the right to decide the band is over because of what they speculated.

[Death Cube K]

Does every band have the quality music GN'R has?

I can name a few and they would most likely find another bassist who could do the songs so the fans wouldnt be upset and we would have this situation.

It's bass lines, thats all.

[Axlfreek]

The discussion of the demos contributes nothing to this conversation about the cancellation of the shows.

Good for you!

I hope you go to their message boards and post about how great they are.

Chill out people.

Wait until we get confirmation from either Jarmo or gunsnroses.com

I look at it this way.? To all of you who think Tommy can be replaced if they really did cancel the shows because his hand hasn't healed then they feel he is IRREPLACABLE which is a good thing isn't it?? They obviously don't feel it's GNR if they can't play with this current lineup.

I second that.

It isnt like I was going to SA anyway, it wont ruin my day.

Thats a selfish thing to say. Obviously if you're not going to SA you're not going to care. If you were going, it would ruin your day, particularly if you had paid for airfares/hotels.
