Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame! Now it's official.

[Bridge]

So I would have rather this event be given to Axl and current GN'R, in regards to making decisions as to what would happen and what was going to be played and who with etc.

In other words, you would've wanted the former members who contributed heavily to its legacy to be excluded... which is EXACTLY what would've happened if Axl were calling the shots.  I realize some people on this site would've liked that but THAT would've been wrong..... it would've been more wrong to exclude heavy contributors to the legacy that GNR has (which is what got them inducted, not the current lineup) than excluding the current members.

Axl, Dizzy, and Izzy were invited.  They declined.  Their choice.  That simple.  As Axl himself pointed out, "it's the Hall if Fame's show, not mine."  That's just it.  Nobody dictates what happens but the Hall of Fame.

Congrats to Steven, Matt, Duff, and Slash for pulling it off and for having the grace and dignity to attend and accept the honor.  Thanks to Gilby and Miles for stepping up to the plate and helping out.  It was an awesome night and I am very happy to have been there to witness it!  

[Booker Floyd]

Watching that Youtube video I think Slash, Duff, and Steven sounded great - I have to admit it.  Of course there is no replacing Axl on vocals though. 

Yeah, I mentioned last night how incredible Steven, Duff, and Slash sounded; they were really tight together..... although I'll agree that Myles' vocals aren't Axl.  I stil don't think Myles is as bad as everyone here thinks, and still enjoyed the performances.


THANKS TO FUNKYMONKEY FOR POSTING THOSE LINKS!   

Myles did a terrific job last night.

No, he is not Axl.  He is not Axl in the same way that Slash's replacements are not Slash.  To recreate the presence of figures as singular as Slash and Axl is not possible.  However, Slash's replacements have generally been excellent musicians who get the job done in terms of ably playing the original music and contributing to the production of a great show.  What Myles did last night is no different.

Myles Kennedy has nothing to do with GN'R. Myles Kennedy is a Slash yes man 

All of Slash's replacements has been members of GN'R.

I've seen comments like "OMG! OMG! It was the first time Duff, Slash and Steven played together in 20 years". No, it's not.

They did it in 2009. Chester Bennington sang Paradise City with them at a benefit show in November 2009.

Look at this guy - full of knowledge!

I said this awhile back but it was lost in the thread somewhere...

I saw Slash, Duff, Gilby, Matt and a few others perform last September at a RoadRecovery Benefit honoring Slash in NYC at the Best Buy Theater. It was a cool moment for me to meet the guys and stuff, say hi, and meet the people that I had only been able to watch live recordings/pro-shots/etc of for a very long time.

Watching them perform in front of me was surreal and it was a blast... but at no point did I think it was "Guns N' Roses". They were members in the past and have since moved on (some better than others...*cough*adler*cough*) and done their own thing now. They were billed as GNR last night being inducted into the HOF due to their past accomplishments and so be it, it's over. Axl didn't show up, great.

I can safely say without a shadow of a doubt, Guns N' Roses are about to embark on another tremendous tour of Europe and there will be naysayers just like there always is...Slash this...Duff that...etc. Fuck them. Stop living in the past and get over it. Hopefully last night ends that chapter once and for all.

Accept Guns N' Roses for what it is. A band will rock your fucking face off in a heart beat when you see them live, if you can withstand being entertained for 3 straight hours. A few lineup changes, so fucking what. I honestly wish there was a way to prove that a good percentage of the people calling Guns N' Roses (now) scabs/hacks and saying "wah I miss Slash.." have NOT EVER SEEN the current lineup of GNR. Wish I had the means of compiling that information to prove myself.

I actually enjoy Myles and have seen him numerous times with Alter Bridge and Slash. I know there are users on here that I am friends with that don't share the same thoughts as myself, estebanf, but I thought he did a good job. His voice is different and he is NOT Axl but in his own right, Myles did fine. I've heard him sing GNR songs before on tour with Slash and I've always enjoyed it. There was even a time when I ran into Myles and complimented him on singing Civil War since I hadn't heard GNR ever perform that live at the time and he said something to the tune of "Hey I just do the best I can, I'm no Axl but I sing the song to the best of my ability" and that is really all you can ask.


*EDIT*I think I am one of the only ones that has that feeling of Myles - where I actually enjoy him singing GNR with Slash. I'll probably get shredded for it, but I really could careless. He's a nice guy and he does what he can and I for one, enjoy it! I much rather would have seen Myles sing the songs last night (like he did) than see someone else get up there and sing butcher it.

Looks like there's a reunion of all the Slash fans in the GN'R section. I'm so touched!

I really don't know why you guys are here on a GN'R fan site in 2012 since your idea of GN'R isn't compatible with what this site is about.



It's over, go back now. Until next time one of those guys screams "reunion!".

Where have you been every time somebody's been disrespecting and insulting Axl and GN'R?


When you "provoke" people, some might react. I don't believe that she's as innocent as you like to think.

I find that comment quite sexist, r we supposed to treat women diferently than men?

She got in the ring ^^

[Bodhi]

Fans attacking an artist or their wife on twitter is silly and pathetic.  At the end of the day guys like Axl and Slash have lived way more successful lives than any fan on twitter who is giving them shit.  They both reached the top of their profession, and were among the most successful in the world at what they did.   I would love to meet a fan who has done the same.
