Izzy 'news' on the first page?

[nyd]

Haha even this Izzy news didnt make the front page of my Izzy site  I couldnt be bothered copying the two lines ~ which didnt even seem to have a source 

I agree with the VGH comments ~ haven't listened to it in a while now but it was heavily played when I first picked it up. Might give it a listen again today.

He's annoyed because I won't promote his hero's latest band.

You're acting like loving Slash's music would be against the rules or would be strange and not needed on a so-called 'Guns N' Roses Fan Site'. Pathetic. If minor Slash news made the first page but major Izzy news didn't, I would also feel it's because the guy who runs the site has double standards or wants to please someone. Did Axl and his guys asked you to neglect VR? Are they happy now? I can't understand how ex-GN'R members releasing music and having a functioning band can be frustrating for 'GN'R fans'. I mean if you like other GN'R songs than Oh My God.

You nailed it when you said 'the guy who runs this site'. It's his site! And he obviously chooses not to support VR anymore for whatever reason. It's not some public service site, it's his site and he has decided to dedicate it to his interest, GN'R 2007.

You are right, dedicating the site to 'GN'R2007' whatever that is, is fine. Although me and a lot of other would like to read ex-membes news on the first page, and a lot of GN'R fans read only the first page and not the forum, I can accept that the Headlines section is the current band, only, and we're acting like even the praise of old songs were credited to the current line-up. Well, be it. But selecting which ex-members 'news' got posted is pathetic and ridiculous.


BTW some GN'R news can't make the first page now and get deleted from the forum, too.    Only good news are news, bad news are not needed here.

just for the sake of discussion: "gnr 2007" is not izzy. and if you say he played with them a few shows last year, so did sebastian bach, hell even kid rock and lars ulrich played with them, or those guys from canada, don't remember the name now, sorry.

i'm not saying i agree with one or another but if you make a point, make a valid one

If you want to get technical you can, but I think simple terms might work best.

This board's management obviously do not like Velvet Revolver due to various reasons - therefore you are likely to see updates from all Guns N' Roses and former member news, except for those of Velvet Revolver! Simple!

I can't speak for Jarmo but that's the impression I get. He did state that he does not want to promote a band that gets enough self promotion through talking about Axl. It's his own board so he can dedicate it to whoever he likes and keep off what he doesn't like.

Exactly but in that case Jarmo should atleast admit that he does use double standards, which he is not willing to do...

[jarmo]

What double standard?

I don't like promoting something I don't like.  A guy who takes cheap shots at Axl every chance he gets and yet he doesn't know shit about GN'R since he wasn't there.


Are you demanding that VR sites post news about what Axl's doing as well?

Haha even this Izzy news didnt make the front page of my Izzy site  I couldnt be bothered copying the two lines ~ which didnt even seem to have a source 

I don't post stuff like that unless I know it's true.

/jarmo

I am not demanding anything and I couldn't care less if axl news was posted on a vr site but that would be kinda silly since he's not an ex-member of that band...

What double standard?

I don't like promoting something I don't like. A guy who takes cheap shots at Axl every chance he gets and yet he doesn't know shit about GN'R since he wasn't there.

definition of double standards:

A set of principles establishing different provisions for one group than another

You post izzy news on the frontpage yet you don't post news about Vr, gilby, buckethead etc, See what I'm getting at?

So you're saying a lot of VR fans aren't interested in what Axl's doing?

Gilby was on TV, he had the audiences already. But when there's something big in the Gilby world, related to his solo career, it's been posted: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1754

Buckethead, the same as with VR. He has his own sites and it's hard to keep up with what he's doing when you're not really interested.


There you go.

I'm sure they are but it doesn't make sence to post news of him on a site from a band he has no past with...

Just like you won't see Axl news getting posted on a van halen site just because some forum members there are interested in axl...

Gilby was on TV, he had the audiences already. But when there's something big in the Gilby world, related to his solo career, it's been posted: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1754

Alright fair enough...

Although I have to say that the news item you conviently linked to would not have been there if it wasn't for this thread:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=42365.60

[jarmo]

Now you're talking about the Slash story. Make up your mind.


Since GN'R is an active band, the focus is on GN'R.

Anything else going on will have to take a backseat. Especially a band who's singer is a clueless dork.

[Grouse]

Now you're talking about the Slash story. Make up your mind.

/jarmo

You were the one who referred to that piece of news...

Anyway I'm pretty much done with this thread since I now understand you reasoning for selectively posting news.

[monkeychow]

Well lets see....this is a GNR site for GNR fans...most people who are GNR fans like the albums you can buy with GNR music...members of VR appear on EVERY ONE of those CDs.....hense...its legitimate for people who like GNR to have an interest in VR....i'm not saying they HAVE to....but its madness to say VR have nothing to do with GNR....

Theres more people in VR that played on our favourite records than there currently is in GNR....

The only way I could accept that is if the only songs a fan liked were the new leaks...now those have nothing to do with VR...but assuming you like any of AFD, YUI1+2, LIES of SI then its safe to say slash, and duff have some relevance.

[Jim Bob]

get over it

Yes, to prove I've posted Gilby news.

Which proved you wrong.

No, it only proved that you hate VR or act like you'd hate them for some reasons you sure know. Just becuase you don't like Weiland VR news don't make the first page. Alright 

Is Brain still in GN'R? His collabo didn't get mention in the Headlines... What should we do? Hate him or love him?

Well it is his board so that is his prerogative. When you start your own site you can post whatever news you want, untill then stop complaining about what someone else does with their own website. 

[Jim Bob]

no shit.. isn't it enough these slasholes trolls VR fans get a VR section to discuss VR?

[jarmo]

No, it only proved that you hate VR or act like you'd hate them for some reasons you sure know. Just becuase you don't like Weiland VR news don't make the first page. Alright 

You really are fucking clueless.

I've explained it over and over but it just goes over your top hat wearing head.



I don't feel like promoting a band I don't care about enough to put energy into, a band who's singer seems to be interested in taking cheap shots at Axl and a band who has their own fans.

VR is not GN'R. They're supposed to be the most dangerous unpredictable band in the world. Why would they need my help to sell a few extra copies of their albums?



Get over it already Slash fan. This isn't a VR site.

Is Brain still in GN'R? His collabo didn't get mention in the Headlines... What should we do? Hate him or love him?

Do whatever the fuck you want. I'm not telling you to do anything unlike you.

You're trying to tell me to do something I don't give a fuck about, something that doesn't excite me, something that makes me laugh because it's pathetic.


At least I'm honest enough not to post VR news to get some hits from people like you.
