Bumbelfoot Interview (Talks GN?R)

[D-GenerationX]

Jarmo, you have already told me, point blank, you don't see any problems or anything amiss about the fact the current band have yet to write anything together in almost a decade.

We likely aren't going to agree on much on this topic, given that "nothing to see here" mindset you constantly adapt to avoid having to say anything critical.

I would try not to debate anything with jarmo....I have bitten my tounge several time and not posted because ...

well you gotta realize he may have started as a fan of GNR...but hes no longer a fan like the rest of us... he spends time with Axl Rose...he travels the world with him...

what do you expect? for him to knock him or some of the practices by management ? I wouldnt either



deep down he must find it maddening like the rest of us do that they cant seem to get anything out in a timely fashion....... but when hes rocking out backstage at the show.... he gets over that frustration real quick 

[JAEBALL]

Hopefully the "mygnr exclusive" has some legs...and kind of puts Ron's concerns to rest a little bit

and hopefully new songs are introduced as promised

and hopefully the reception is all good and will hopefully lead Axl to explore new ideas for new stuff with the current guys

Oh no, I agree with every word of that.  He clearly knows where his bread is buttered, as we are not blind to that.

But I will say that the long established picture of him at other boards as a guy that bounces anyone that does not tow the line is unfair.  I don't think I'm a troll or disruptive for its own sake, but I'm hardly a team player and he lets me speak my mind.  I got no quarrel with the guy.

You're right. It's not a "problem". They don't need to write or record anything for me. If they do it for themselves, awesome!
But I don't sit and complain about it on the Internet. Doesn't do anything for me. Sorry.

Than why ever comment on anything that happens in any phase of life, ever?

You constantly want to attach all these nefarious motives to people simply having a conversation about the state of affairs.  To you, one fan telling another fan you wish they were more accessible or were quicker with a new album is not just a conversation between fellow fans.  It is one "complainer" talking to another "complainer" about "what they feel they are owed" and they "obviously are never going to be happy".

What a dim view of humankind.

[jarmo]

I never stated anything like that. That's your assumption. Somewhat insulting, but what's new? As soon as people run out of answers, they go the personal route "oh but you're this and that"....

If you honestly believe that, maybe you see everything in black and white? Which would be unfortunate.

Do you seriously claim that there aren't certain fans who will complain no matter what? Some people are like that, nothing I can do about it. They live among us.
But I'm not gonna sit and let them think they are a "right". Right, isn't the word. What I mean is, there's a different point of view that people sometimes forget exists if they are constantly bombarded with the same negative opinions day after day.

I don't like to be surrounded by people who are only negative and offer nothing constructive. Do you? I'm sorry. Yeah, on a sunny day, they might be the most supportive fans on the planet (when they get what they demand), but once the novelty wears off, they're back to their old habits. I don't necessarily understand that.

Oh, and I get wanting new things. It's human. But it doesn't have to be this negative thing....

As you and Team Brazil define the term?  I don't see that as complaining.

Quick example.  Fernando's last announcement that there might someday be an announcement.  Many people had some fun with that, due to both its vauge tone and their track record.  But I would not call it complaining, more like breaking balls.

Only speaking for myself, but my definition of complaining is what I learned in school. Hasn't changed over the years.

Is that what it is? Just a way to have fun and pass time?

Mostly, yeah.  Not everything is an evil plot by "the haters".

[jarmo]

Mostly, yeah.  Not everything is an evil plot by "the haters".

Sure. But what's the purpose? To amuse the original poster? What good comes out of it?
To me, most of it is just disruptive and not constructive in any way....

All it is, is talking about the goings on of our common interest.  Just conversation about what goes on.

If we didn't really and truly care, we wouldn't talk about it as much as we do.  And we all want to see good things, ultimately.
