Ron responds to a "fan" that criticized the band in an online post.  It said they don't do enough interviews/media, no U.S. tour planned yet, albums don't come fast enough -- you get the idea.

Posted Today, 02:18 PM

Sooo, someone contacted me saying << Hey did you know that Feb 1 is the "official" stop treating your fans like manure day? >> At first I was gonna respond "Ohhh, I thought it was Delusional Nutjob Imagining He's Being Mistreated Day" but found this link. I get it - I see what you're saying. I do what I can, I make contests for you guys to win stuff and to hang out backstage, I've seen everyone in the band open their arms to the fans, it's not a *personal* mistreating you feel, it's that ya just want *more*. Just writing to say I'm listening, I'm not writin' off how ya feel and what ya want. But I wouldn't call you 'mistreated', you're more like 'GNR addicts in withdrawal'..........

Have a good one, and hang tight.

Ron

Love ya Ron. And I couldn't agree more about how great you guys treat us fans. Backstage in 2006 with you guys was amazing. Never met a better bunch of guys. You guys really made my freinds and I feel welcome.
peace out. amyl

Agree with Ron and the rest.


Aren't these the same people who said for years that all they wanted was an album, a tour, an album... And now it's a list of things.

You can't please everyone. It's been apparent for years now.

Sounds familiar....

They used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more

Ron (and all members of GnR) - Thanks for the message. you are 100% right. and please know that the large majority of die-hard fans do NOT feel like we are treated like shit. we are very appreciative of the album and all the shows.

Yes, I need my fix! Hope to see you soon.

Well I for one appreciate Ron for seeing the situation in a different way rather than just shrugging it off. Indeed it's delutional to want everything to happen like you want it to. But on the other hand we are all GN'R fans here, and is it so wrong to want your favourite band to do all of the aforementioned, isn't that being a fan?.

And I respect Ron for recognizing that, and seeing the "GN'R addicts" view at least. When you love a band so much, sometimes it's easy to get down about tours not happening or whatever.

That's what people got to remember, alot of this conflict of interest is down to the pure love we have for the band. I do however feel that alot of "fans" go about it the wrong way, and sometimes seem to just want to cause insult or offence to the band. However there are a fair few who just want Guns to get out there and start rocking the world in whatever way. Whether that means doing interviews, touring or releasing new music, there are alot of genuine fans who just want feel the GN'R vibe more, and more. Which is something to be celebrated and not degraded, so thanks to Ron for noticing that some fans are just addicts and get withdrawed alot.

It's really cool that he's saying this to the fans.  He's really taken the time to try to communicate with everyone when he can.

I don't think I'm the only one that notices that Ron will reply to damn near anything you send him.

Whoever that asshole was, fuck him. Ron, it's cool you're being nice and all, but fuck that dude....we'll say it for ya...lol..

(I actually swapped msgs on crackbook with Ron like 2 days ago..so this one blows me away)
