Is the old GNR lineup on the new RS cover?

[Bruno Poeys]

ZING!

Guns N' Roses is a band, good work figuring that one out...

and I figured that alone. Some people apparently can't...

[Verse Chorus Verse]

You're the one creating confusion.

You spent a whole thread talking about how Slash/Duff/Izzy and Steven are creating confusion among GNR fans and the public because the media is billing it as a GNR reunion minus Axl, and now you are arguing that Axl appearing on the cover of a major rock publication with 4 guys not in GNR calling them GNR doesn't do the same? Celebrating Appetite is one thing, but plastering old photos on the cover and calling it GNR when that is not the case can't be seen favorably among GNR fans.

Please pay attention!

There cannot be a Guns N' Roses reunion minus Axl because Guns N' Roses is Axl, Tommy, Dizzy, Robin, Richard, Ron, Chris and Frank.

Are you saying Tommy, Dizzy, Robin, Richard, Ron, Chris and Frank are playing a show?

Hahaha thats funny.

Guns n Roses = Axl Rose

no, Guns N' Roses is Axl Rose, Tommy, Finck, Fortus, BBF, Frank, Dizzy and Chris.

[marknroses]

I think this is cool that its GNR's first Rolling Stone album cover in 16 years (September 1991 and not including the Axl Rose spread in 1992).

Guns break and Roses wither, but Guns N' Roses music lasts forever!

what's that?

[sandman]

Great to see the original 5 on the cover.? Guns N' Roses is just a name, so it doesn't matter what you refer them as.? ?These 5 people on the cover made the best rock I have ever heard.

amen to that! 

it is just a name.

i love skid row, and thoroughly enjoy seeing bach perform skid row songs with a bunch of hired guns. doesn't matter what you call them. and i wouldn't pay a nickle to see the band currently touring under the "skid row" name.

[saint seiya]

same as Pink Floyd isnt the same without Roger Waters.

[Bruno Poeys]

good they'll be on RS cover.

Sorry, off-topic but...
when did Axl say he doesnt make music for his fans or who hear him, but he just makes music for himself?

[King Axl]

I love that Rolling Stone is commemorating the 20th anniversary of 'Appetite', but it does make me long for the days when GN'R was Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven.

[CSS]

I assume that it's the same with:

AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Mot?rhead, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Megadeth....

Give it a rest. It's the cover of a magazine, just enjoy it instead of bitching about it!

As someone already stated - It's a name. A goddamn name.

[Ines_rocks!]

This is just fucking silly and childish that some of you are complaining about the cover... It is a cover celebrating Appetite for Destruction, which, if I can remember right, was made by Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven, who appear on the cover. Now tell me... what?s wrong with that? Should they put the new GN`R and then the title of "Appetite for Destruction: 20 years Anniversary"? How logical would be that? Cmon.. give it a rest and enjoy that Guns are once again on the cover of one of the most important music magazines of the world.

[JuicySwoos]

When does it hit the stands??

When does it hit the stands???

By the end of this month, I suppose.

I forgot to list him since I was just listing the guys who played in Japan a couple of days ago.

That's awesome.  I just recently bought the edition of Classic Rock Magazine devoted to the AFD anniversary.  Now I've got this to look forward too.  Sweet! 

And seriously people, how can anyone see this as a bad thing?  Ridiculous logic you're trying to use, take a break, re-evaluate things, and hopefully then you'll see the light.

[faldor]

Whew, I'm glad this turned out to be something.? Now I don't feel like a schmuck for starting a thread about it.

Good call.  I started reading this thread and was like, "yeah right, another baseless bullshit post".  Boy was I wrong.  Nice one man.  Gold star for you.

[D]

I listened to AFD today with a bunch of friends at work


Fuck what an amazing album it still is and will always be.

Fuckin timeless.

[Smoking Guns]

I bet Slash and Duff told rolling stone to do this cause they are obsessed with him.....

How dare you - HOW dare you piss all over the great history ?and deny what these guys worked their asses off for (and by these guys I mean Axl, Izzy, Slash, Duff and Steven) ?You talk like the new guys own ALL of this now - AFD, the name - everything and that is simply not true. Are you really that arrogant? ?Look I like the new guys and I know you dont want to cause any problems between you and the bands management but sometimes Jarmo I really think you dont deserve to run this site. ?Because you constantly try to belittle what those original members contributed and meant to this band. ?Slash Duff etc werent just 'part' of the gnr history - they were the success. ?YOu want a metaphor for the way you talk - its like the old guys made peanuts and new guys are making steak sandwhiches to you. ?Geez have a little respect.


P.S.  Saying this line over and over again aint going to make it true.  You may try to define what GNR is - but the true gnr lies in the hearts of the fans. 

Guns N' Roses is Axl, Tommy, Dizzy, Robin, Richard, Ron, Chris and Frank.

Perhaps you would be more comfortable posting on a site that simply dedicates itself to GN'R circa 1988......Alot has happened since then......... 
                                                                                                                                                                   
Perhaps you might like the analogy that the peanuts made by Slash/Duff have now been fed to the cow that has produced some very tasty steak. Or Slash/Duff can be seen as the outer wrapping of the said steak sandwhich. You tend to throw the wrappings away.........Sometimes I don't even eat the bread in the steak sandwhich - it is the meaty filling that I am after.........

Or, look at it this way....fans of AFD are simply making Slash/Duff accountable for their actions in the past........they are big boys, they can take it.........
