LOL, now it's really all over the map.

[Kujo]

Speaking of maps, I just bought this huge wall map of the earth. I'm going to put pins in all the locations I've ever gone to. First I need to visit the places in the upper two corners so that the map will stay on the wall.

I dont know which phrase is gayer and more retarded


The "Bon Jovi can Suck My Dick"

or "Get on Board or Fuck Off"


I mean seriously,who the fuck does this guy think he is to say some shit like that to fans.

Axl can do shit like that cause he has this persona and charisma and mystique about him and it works.

When other people try to get hard on the fans, they come off lookin ridiculous and just stupid.

I am an Axl Rose fan

U could put a bunch of Gregorian Monks in GNR and Id still be a GNR fan

Tommy needs to realize how replaceable he is and stop tryin to alienate fans with that kind of bullshit.


If Slash,Duff,Steven,Matt,Izzy,Buckethead,Brain can be replaced, I think that makes pretty much everyone in GNR besides Axl disposable.  he should be more gracious to the fans and not say shit like that.

[Kujo]

I think if you read between the lines, especially the comment Axl made the first night at the Hammerstein, Tommy has alot to do with how far this band goes. He isnt flashy or vocal in public, but there is no doubt in my mind, that he has held this band together all this time. 

After Westerberg, Axl is a walk in the park

I mean seriously,who the fuck does this guy think he is to say some shit like that to fans.

He's Tommy fucking Stinson.

You obviously have no respect for the people in the band after your attacks on Frank and now Tommy.

How lame.


I believe his quote was aimed at anyone who thinks they know what's going on but really have no fucking idea.....

My problem with that whole comment is, They have no right to challenge anybody that way.


U are replacing legends

U have to prove that u can do more than play the old songs everynight.

U have to show that u belong in GNR and that u are capable of living up to the legacy.


Until CD comes out, they have no right to say anything to on the fence fans who have a right to be skeptical cause these guys haven't proven themselves yet.  U have to show that u are capable of keeping the GNR name alive and are worthy of being in GNR


Until CD comes out, the jury is out and they need to realize and accept that.

u want to shut people up?

U want to get people on board?

The album HAS to come out first.

I guess thats what makes me different than some people on here.

U have to earn my respect.

I don't bow down and think u are the greatest thing in music history just because u are in a band with Axl Rose.

Just my opinion but for me, u have to contribute to a bands success to be considered a member.  I am maybe wrong on that, but to me right now, Frank is a touring drummer considering Brain was recognized as the official drummer. So is Frank even on Chinese Democracy?

[Kujo]

Tommy was kicking ass in The Replacements before anyone even thought up the name Guns N Roses.  You dont have to like him, but to claim he has done nothing is absolutely ridiculous.

I bet he'd have no trouble holding the corners of a world map up, that's for damn sure.

Aren't you in a band?

I have no respect for you since your band has no success and you haven't released anything.

  


The stupidity is astounding.

The track "Motivation" alone should make you kiss his feet.

In the right circles, Tommy Stinson is considered far more of a 'legend' than Duff McKagan.

Not that I don't think Duff's bass playing is great, too.

Since we are sharing our opinions, the first two nights on the floor at the Hammerstein I spent more time going "Wow, thats Tommy Fucking Stinson" than I did going "Wow, theres Axl"

D, you want us to respect what Bon Jovi has accomplished in his career, wheteher we like him or not, yet you totally dismiss the 17 years that Tommy spent making music as if they didnt exisit. Sorry my friend but that is hypocrisy.

yeah, and in some right circle , The new kids on the block are more legendary then the Beatles.

I'm talking about success in Guns N Roses.

Sure he had great success in another band but the band as a whole have to prove they can live up to the GNR legacy and I don't think fans on the fence are asking too much.


Did I say Tommy wasn't accomplished? I dont remember ever saying that.

But the fact they can't understand why some GNR fans are skeptical or on the fence to me is ludicrous. they surely are aware of the shoes they are filling.

U can't really compare Tommy To Duff because aren't they two very different bands?

Duff has came up with some pretty damn memorable bass lines and songs if Im not mistaken and I said it once before. Duff isn't playing Tommy's bass lines right?  I think it is Tommy who is playing Duff's bass lines.

I just don't like that statement. I think it is dumb to tell fans to fuck off if they don't bow down and kiss the ass of the new members who have yet to prove what they can do in this band.

A few leaks and playing the old songs doesn't do it for me. I want to hear an album of what they can do.

Now, in my mind, I believe they will shut everyone up once the album comes out but the album still has to come out before u can make those kind of statements cause he, to me, has no right to make that statement.

Axl can say that because he is Guns N Roses and a major reason for the popularity and success of GNR

Tommy to the casual fan is pretty much unknown and people have no clue he is in GNR.


I asked my boss at work who his alltime fav band was, he said "The Replacements"

I said really? their bass player is now in GNR

He had no idea


See my point?


Not everyone knows this band and the new members are not famous for being in GNR and they aren't the reason most of us are GNR fans so they should be more respectful to the GNR fan who are giving them a chance.


If they feel the fans have no right to be a little upset and skeptical after what all has happened the last 10 years,t hey are living in a fantasy world.

Nothing like using a quote to fit your agenda against a band member.

"As a matter of fact, Eagles of Death Metal were a suggestion of mine a while ago. Turns out they were the wrong band for our crowd. They were booed and did not play for as long as they were scheduled to.

As for all of the inaccuracies that have been said since, I would like to say that's all they are - inaccuracies. In the past I have thrown my bass. I have never thrown it at Axl or anyone else in the band nor has anyone thrown my bass back at me? yet. Axl has been a dear friend to me for nine years. We have no problem communicating and wish that people would stay the fuck out of shit they don't know anything about. There was no GN'R mutiny or any such thing after the Cleveland gig and as far as I'm concerned this tour has been the most fun yet. The band is playing great and getting along better than we ever have. With that said, either get on board or fuck off."

Guarantee u are in the very very very minor category with that.

That is a really horrible Bon Jovi analogy as last I checked Jon is in the same band,

Now if Jon ever left Bon Jovi and joined Queen, or The Doors, or reformed Led Zeppelin with Jimmy Page Then yes, his accomplishments in Bon Jovi would not matter one fucking bit as he would have to prove he could fill the shoes of legends in those mentioned above bands.

I honestly believe and it truly fuckin baffles me, that u guys sometimes have lost sight of just how fucking legendary and huge Guns N Roses once were.

To put the Replacements in the same sentence as Guns N Roses? Are u kidding me?

[D]

Dont blame me Jarmo

it was your SuperHero mod Adz who used the quote the wrong way, I took what he said and ran with it.

Oh my fucking God....

You're obviously too focused on the Bon Jovi way of measuring success.

You can influence a whole generation of musicians WITHOUT having top #1 singles.

Of course I blame you. You're the one who took the quote and twisted it around to fit your agenda.


Should I blame the songwriter for writing a song that people interpret the wrong way?
