Because that's how it is in GNR world. Ignore the elephant in the room.

[flicknn]

perhaps he didn't want to comment on the only black eye or dissapiontment /let down/in his career ?


He is a member of Guns n roses , a band that , allegedly has been trying to secure a album release date for over 13 years

[cineater]

Did they have to remind camp that Richard is from St. Louis?     Not the best way to start off an interview in the GNR world.  Have often wondered how that first meeting between Axl and Richard went with that hiding out in the background. 

[Atillla]

A band member says something and the usual suspects tear it apart to spout their anti-GnR propaganda, how refreshing 

And then they wonder why the band doesn't release much info, roflcopter.

[me2u838]

tear it apart??? tear what apart. they didn't fucking say anything as usual!!!

[Atillla]

tear it apart??? tear what apart. they didn't fucking say anything as usual!!!

You just did it again but you will never realise it

are you slow or something?

[jarmo]

jarmo, shut the hell up. you are so far up axl's ass. we all love GNR and just want some damn music. stop sticking up for all the side stepping that everyone involved with the band does. I know they don't need to tell us anything but come on how many years of bullshit do we have to go through.

Well that ends your posting career here.

Have a nice day.

"The opinions of crowds"...ever heard about that?

There's no doubt that GnR fans feel let down. Simple as that. The vast majority do!!! No arguement needed, it's a fact.

People can go on and on about how Axl are entitled to do WHAT THE FUCK he wants, and by principle, they're right.

But GnR isn't just about the members and the staff. It's also about the fans. Without the fans, GnR is nothing.

Then they can always say that "they'll all come back when we finally release this shit", and they're right. But that is taking advantage of the devoted hearts of thousands of people. The logic is right, but living by such standards and such logics, is living like cowards.

The genuine concern that many of us feel towards this band, MUST soon be adressed.

[jarmo]

If the masses doesn't get what tentative is, then don't use it. Especially not when tentative was 2 years ago. Tentative are usually followed by the interpretation of "if not then, maybe soon".

Maybe that's what they're doing?

Assuming native English speakers are too fucking stupid to read basic English. 

 


I know for you it makes no sense when the band doesn't comment on every rumor there is.

But it does. You don't say something until you know for sure how things are or if those things are happening the way you planned.

If he doesn't want to then that's his choice, but people will react towards it because in their world it's not really logical to not wanting to reply to a very innocent question about a ditty him and a fellow band member did 2 years ago.

To me it seems like the whole excuse for the interview was to try to get Richard to say something about GN'R.

The genuine concern that many of us feel towards this band, MUST soon be adressed.

What concern is that?

Who's in the band at this point? When the album is out?

What?

Are you losing sleep over these things?

[PrimaDonna]

To many a GREAT concern is that they fear another 2 year silence and standstill.

Because?


Are these the same people who fear a riot because GN'R isn't on stage at 9Pm sharp?

Or the ones who think GN'R will never be able to finish a tour ever again?

[Smoking Guns]

I love fortus.  He is my favorite member in GNR besides Axl.  I love the same bands he loves except for maybe Yes.  I too prefer Stones over Beatles. 

[Atillla]

No it mustn't.... you make it sound like some political thing now, what are you going to do if they don't address it, protest on the streets? 

[jarmo]

People who claim to support the band have no faith in them and are concerned that the worst will always happen.

Jarmo, don't take it personal.  Faith is a touchy thing.  We don't pray to GNR.  I don't have "conviction" or "beliefs" anymore.  I look at the facts.  The facts say at some point the album will come out.  The facts also say don't get your hopes up unless you want to be dissappointed.

Atilla, yes, get used to it.  I have been here a very long time.  You will learn with time what it takes to be on the forum for a long ass time.  Many have left over the years waiting for the holy grail.  I haven't.  Jarmo hasn't.  Adz hasn't.  However, though we all have one common goal, some are much more positive than others.  Doesn't mean people aren't behind the band.  Just means some are realists than others.

[PrimaDonna]

People are different. It has nothing to do with support in my case. Only experience. And I'm not negative either. Have never posted negatively before.

My point is just that they should say something more than they have.

Jarmo, you earn money from all the delays, so why would you care?

Some people like to shag for hours. Some don't. I don't, and my GnR patience is soon shattered.
