Official Guns N Roses and Axl Twitter & Facebook updates

[rebelhipi]

Going back the original point though- you forget that many, many Springsteen fans are attracted to his music by the politics. That's what he does, and has done for years- and if people don't like it, they don't go and see him. OK, maybe he alienates some people, but who cares? It's refreshing when artists don't care about things that i think. Go out, be themselves, take it or leave it. Surely that's what rock n roll is all about? 

I wouldn't say a lot of fans are attracted by it, most tolerate it. His current stage persona really only kicked into full gear in 2004 around the Bush re-election. He has always taken 10 minutes on stage rambling while introducing songs but everything was always rooted in his childhood, teen years, and Jersey (with a few notable exceptions like Born in the USA)... It really wasn't until that early to mid 2000's timeframe where he became such an outspoken political figure... Now if you said Bono, yes that is how he has always been due to the political climate in Ireland which he then spun into a more global view with his stance on AIDS and hunger in Africa as examples. BUT like I said, I have no issue with the political stance it's the delivery that I tend to have a bigger issue with, and thus far I have no issue with Axl's view or sharing of it other than the oddity of the tweets.

There's some pretty big onstage rants in the 80s- Born In The USA stuff! Weirdly though, he's sort of stopped doing the politics on stage (largely) for some reason, which strange to me, given the highly charged times we live in! Perhaps he is starting to think about alienation and profit margins after all! haha!

Can you really imagine Axl sitting with a smartphone in his hand, firing off this stuff? It's got to be someone else doing it.

He hasent completely stopped

Im quite sure its Axl posting those tweets. The tweets sound too personal to be written by a publicist.

I'm also sure all on Axl's twitter account is actually him.

I remember a time fondly where a musical artist had something to say that they cared about deeply, they would usually write a song about it and release it...

How times have changed. Now apparently 140 characters is the more admired form of expression...

Not sure 'admired' is the case. 'Consumed' for sure, but not 'admired'. Not in my world anyway. I do think though that for a lot of people their whole world is social media- twitter, facebook all that. Whenever I'm at a bar or something, and look around, it's all anyone is doing. Communicating with people other than the people they're sat with. I feel very sorry for them. A constant state of anxiety and fear of missing out on something must be involved.

Theres nothing wrong with music with a message.
Theres nothing wrong with music without a message either.

Only Axl can call Jeff Sessions criminal, thinking he won't be sued for sure by the uncensured lawyer

"Sleight of Hand"/"Bait and Switch"/"Divert to Deviate" whichever it is, a lot of you seemed to have fallen for it.

No talk of new music for you!  NEXT!!!

I meant the people communicating that message, not the ones receiving it...

Gypsy reply to "How's this for a view?"
@gunsnroses:  Thank you for asking.  IMHO, That view SUCKS! 
Please take ALL videos n' pics from IN FRONT of the stage.
That 'view' is the exact reason venues don't sell the seats located behind the stage.

HOORAY!!!  @gunsnroses must have read my previous post request and posted this twitter gif taken IN FRONT of the stage!!!

OK. Hmm. Does anyone get the Interscope reference?

Apparently there's a Melanne Mueller who was with Universal Music Group from 2007-2009 (right in the ChiDem release ballpark) as Senior VP of their Classical division, but I'm not sure where the connection to Interscope comes in, if there is one. That's the best I could come up with.

In 2011 Interscope records offices were investigated as part of drug trafficking by the FBI. I presume Robert Mueller was part of this operation.
