Could this be a possible scenario?

Was the old band really that bad in your eyes? Has this new band such a smashing success?

All the GNR concerts I attended, 22 in all since 2001 have all been totally awesome. And there are some great songs on Chinese democracy that with proper promotion could have been major hits.

Where did Jarmo say the old band was bad Miser? He was remarking about the lame and overused breakfast club quote sofine posted in lieu of a real response.

Stop trolling.

EmilyGNR are you that crazy Warchild poster-- some suggested?

Why is she/he posting here?    Really?

Haha! why don't you at least troll on topic?

 Is that beyond your obviously limited little capabilities? 

[D-GenerationX]

Yes, there will be early ticket sales to members.

There are also monthly giveaways, flash perks and a forum that is virtually troll and hater free, so you might not like it.

I've seen the giveaways.  Don't really do much for me. 

And I would imagine if they have a forum, it makes this one look hard hitting, so I doubt I'd be all about that.

But early ticket sales is absolutely a worthy perk.  I'll probably have to check it out.

How many of us are getting those PMs?

I don't even know all the details about that whole warchild saga, but I know that's big conspiracy type deal amongst segments of our fanbase.

[JAEBALL]

I got those PM's too. Somebody must think it.

Whether they are the same person or not, they have similar "styles".

[JAEBALL]

Would it be completely outside the realm of possibilities that Slash, Duff & possibly Izzy could appear on the follow up to Chinese Democracy?  Shit, all they'd need to be on is the lead single to get new music into the setlist. Just spitballin' here.

I would think it impossible, yes.

I'm amazed people think the others have any respect for what Axl has been doing the past 20 years.  Usually if I try and go down this road, I'm told that Izzy played that song that time.  Or Duff played that show.  So that is supposedly the proof they support it.

But Izzy never plays on anything done since he left.  Duff only played on things since his departure as a favor to his buddy Axl who was caught in a jam for a few shows. 

You guys don't think the others, when talking amongst themselves, have a reaction somewhere between rolled eyes and outright laughter at what Axl has done to their band?

I sure do.  And I don't think that's some wacky out there position either.  Not if you look at it form their perspective.

I think all of them have now realized that their sum is greater than their parts.  They all went their separate ways and had a moderate amount of success?Axl arguably had the most but he had the advantage of the Guns banner behind him. 

I view Duff playing multiple, full shows as the olive branch that made the reunion talk even possible.  Maybe they did snicker at Axl when he trotted out Bucket and freaky Robin (the leather unitard was a weird look), just like Axl probably snickered at Slash and Fergie?s duet. 

But time does heal all wounds.  I honestly think that if a reunion happens, anything goes.  It could ignite them to create new music, re-tinker with CDII songs, or say fuck it and play the catalogue.  I?m not sure there is a defined plan of attack once/if a reunion happens.

I'm with you Ginger. 10 years ago... I'm sure Slash and Duff were just completely dumbfounded by what Axl was doing.. whether they liked a handful of the songs or not...

But now... it's been so long, people let go of stuff. If it ever happens, i don't think there will be anything off limits or requirements by each to get on stage. Shit... they are 50 years old... you only live once, if they do it, have fun with it, or go home.

[sky dog]

Axl isn't afraid to go home!

[EmilyGNR]

Why not post the PMs so we all can enjoy the lunacy?

If relations have indeed improved then isn't there a chance others are amicable to working on each other's music if the occasion arose or could be negotiated?

Purely theoretical , I know.

[OscarAxl22]

But yeah, hopefully Axl can get some music out.  I'm sure Fernando's impending update will clear this all up. 

I think he already did, no?

Welcome to the jingle
We got candy canes
We got us some mistletoe
And little tiny trains

You know, I know that's a joke, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if it was some Nightrain announcement, and has nothing to do with the next album. I heard the next contest will give fans a chance to watch Frank eat a sandwich LIVE!!

Nobody is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to join Nightrain.

Why do you find it necessary to mock and ridicule the fans that are members there?

That says more about you than them 

For once i agree with you.

I have been a fairly vocal critic of Management and their lack of interaction with the  fans in regards to keeping them in the loop.. ive also been a critic of Axl not making himself available to the fans who want to hear from him. One of the big things that Nightrain offered was a personally signed Axl Photo/poster... now.. that might not seem much to some... but imo thats a massive prize. And those sorts of things are great initiatives for that website. Now obviously more can be done (in my opinion).. but if people want to sign up to it, and they are happy doing so.. who am i to take away from their enjoyment. It doesnt have to be for everyone and thats fine... but if people like it.. let them enjoy it.

That Axl signed prize was almost enough to get me to sign up to the site alone.. considering how hard it is to buy any genuine Axl memorabilia.. it was a very big carrot... i hope TB can continue this sort of thing.. cause i will join if they do.

There have been contests and flashperks for Nightrain members to win autographed laminates and also signatures, I know some don't care but there was also the exclusive access to the Xmas T-shirt.

I don't post but I enter the contests and the giveaways , the early ticket sales are also a plus for me.

It is well worth the merch I ordered to get free membership, and now they have electronic memberships available for only 10$.

I'm not going to post peoples PM's on the board, I doubt Jarmo would like that anyway. It was not sent from somebody who normally posts here.

Take it for what you will. It's not important anyway.

EmilyGNR are you that crazy Warchild poster-- some suggested?

Why is she/he posting here?    Really?

for one, so i can enjoy reading her posts. she actually knows a great deal about gnr.

this warchild character sounds ineresting. i want to meet them! sounds like someone willing to think for themselves despite the pressure coming from other board members to be an obedient member of the pack. (by pack i mean the shit slinging brigade here and the talking heads at my central american dickhead farm).
