Axl on Better music video and more

[AxlsMainMan]

The video didn't come out the following week, so he was wrong on that occasion.

No he wasn't. He said "in a week OR SO".

When does your idea of a 'week or so' end?

You're aware of scheduling conflicts, difficulties in reaching required people, or other unexpected complications which may unforeseeably arise, no?

I agree, but the only concern that I have is or question I should say is " how hard is it to put out a music video" ?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

The video hasn't even come out yet and people are already having panic attacks! 

I can guarantee that Axl won't put out a video that is questionable in quality.

Unlike the booklet??

Just have to find something to complain about.

Axl could have packaged the album with a note that had a simple "haha" scribbled all over it.

Geez, Axl breaks his silence and people still find things to moan and groan about.

Yes I am. But I fail to see how my statement that Axl was wrong about the video coming out 'in a week or so' was incorrect.

You have to know by now that Axl doesn't operate on a normal timetable as the rest of us.

Stop taking everything so seriously.

...but meanwhile, Best Buy is taking down its C.D. displays and if you believe the figures quoted, is stuck with a vast number of unsold copies which before long will be heading to the bargain bin.

It is now $9.99 at BestBuy here.

Which is what many albums are priced at.

The latest by Kanye West, Lil Wayne "Tha Carter III" and Coldplay  "Viva La Vida..." are all priced like Chinese Democracy at Best Buy.

Personally i wouldn't know. But i'm guessing if it's a good video it's probably kind of a pain.

Does anyone bother reading what something was said in reply to here? Jarmo?

I couldn't give a tinker's damn that the video didn't come out when Axl hoped it would. I just didn't see what relevance Axl saying 'soon isn't the word' in regard to the album, 6 years ago had to do with anything.

[circusboy666]

a week or so in gnr could be anywhere from: a week or so, to an el sobrante fortnight.

No, you'd rather "discuss" how you were lied to again. 

Right?

as axl said soon wasn't the word then and this time soon is perhups the word.
the main point is that they are putting out the video shortly. do you doubt that?

[GNR4L]

What I just came to terms with is maybe Axl thought it was coming out in a week or so.  I mean when Im at the gym I work at and a member ask when is a so and so machine getting fixed, I already have a anwser from management saying we ordered the part and it should be fixed next week.  Well somtimes it takes longer than orginally planned.  Either the part is on backorder, it got lost in the mail ect.  I just kind of used that analogy with the music video there planning on releasing it but it's taking longer than orginally expected.  It's not really Axl's fault it just shit happens.

Holy shit, when did I say anything remotely approaching that? When did I say I'd been lied to? When did I imply that I personally cared that the video was late? When did I say I was mad at Axl or pissed that the video has been delayed? I simply said it would have been better to have the video sooner, from a promotion perspective. My opinion.

Saying Axl was wrong about the video coming out in a week is the same as calling him a liar to you? Unforeseen circumstances delayed the video so it didn't come out when he thought. Do you think Axl's ego is so fragile that he can't take that?

The only liar around here grating on my nerves is you, constantly lying to yourself about the motives of anyone with a differing opinion to you. Where do you get off on mocking other fans?

Absolutely pathetic. Why not just delete the thread again, or merge all the forums into one big 'Kiss Ass Here' topic?

[jarmo]

 


Mocking fans? No.

The only ones I might be mocking are people who get some kind of pleasure from pointing out how things didn't go as planned.

People who seem to get off by attacking a band day after day. A band they claim they're "fans" off.



It's got nothing to do with opinion, that's the thing people like you need to get ASAP. I know people have opinions, I'm aware of that. I don't give a fuck if you disagree with me.

That's not the point.

I'm just not gonna sit by and watch you post shit that I don't agree with. I'll say what I think. I don't fucking sugarcoat it to stroke your online ego.

Some of you just can't seem handle the fact that you're told you're posting a lot of ridiculous and pointless bullshit....



So people get upset.... Like yourself.

Someone said, "Didn't Axl say the video would come out in a week"

Someone said in reply "Dexter also said Soon isn't the word"

I, not seeing how these two statements had any connection, said "Back in 2002, soon wasn't the word, so he was right then. The video didn't come out in a week, so he was wrong that time. What's your point?"

What part of that do you disagree with Jarmo? What's 'ridiculous' about it?

If you don't think that's mocking, you must have a different definition than the rest of the world. Laugh off your nasty condescending attitude with smileys and "airquotes". For someone who doesn't like negativity on his forum, you sure like talking to the fans like shit.

Yeah, I see it is in their flyer.  With the world economy in a mess, I guess it is to be expected!  Funny part is the E-bay sellers...some were still asking as much as $18 for the album just weeks ago!

The whole discussion about his comment is ridiculous!

I apologize if my comment hurt your feelings.


It's just that you even discussing the "in a week or so" comment seems pointless.

Again, if the pointless remark is mocking, I apologize. Maybe this topic is very important to you.

It's my opinion and I hope you can respect the fact that I'm also entitled to have one.  






/jarmo

[TomFriend]

Just for the record, the 'pointless' comment isn't what I considered mocking. Agreed, it does basically amount to nothing. I was confused by a comparison someone made between two statements by Axl and was trying to get them clarified. That's all.

What pissed me off was:


No, you'd rather "discuss" how you were lied to again.   

Right?



/jarmo

...since I never said any such thing. (I'd never say or imply Axl was a liar just because a video was later than he hoped - wasn't that what he said anyway, if my memory serves? That he hoped the video would be out in a week, not that it necessarily would be.)

Anyhow, let's drop it. Apology appreciated if it was sincere.

[jarmo]

I asked you a question, hence the ? at the end of "right".....
