Oh, as fans?
We are GREAT sports, as far as I'm concerned.
Pretty thick skinned I think also
And this board is a true to that
Many people here were so against this CD version of GNR.. They left the board.. With all these rumors around, look how many people have came back. Just to talk about the band they love.. Pretty loyal fans I think.... Fans that havnt been always treated the best

i agee that its great how peoples interest havent waned, but dont understand the "havent always been treated the best" part. how does that work?
if its the band your talking about, then i see no angle that works for that. if its on the forums, then when you call people blind followers or insult their favorite artist as some do, you should expect a little retaliation. i never got this whole poor me thing. self pity is interesting, it plays out in often curious ways.
and i was talking about the baconman that gave a criticism of some posters criticism last november/december. you said people treat this band like parents that get upset when their kid gets a b plus instead of an a on their report card.

I remember him posting differently as well, It is sad that some get swept up in the complainers club to in order to be accepted.
Negative people tend to drag people down into negativity too. After all, misery loves company.
What most complainers are looking for more than anything is agreement. They want someone to nod and sympathize and say, ?Yes, me too.? Psychologists say they?re seeking validation.
Even this time of year, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, these folks always find a reason to moan.

This is some thread.
Internalized homophobia...self pity...seeking validation.

I've been in the GN'R community for 13 years.
Most of that time, a large contingent of fans were like: "Reunion or bust." "If Axl wants to play the old songs, call Slash." etc. And now, that might be happening and those same people are like "Why do it? It'd just be a nostalgia fest!" "It isn't proper if it Fortus and Frank are involved". Like...Is Fortus/Frank any different, really, than Gilby/Sorum?
If Axl, Duff and Slash reunite, is it their fault that Steven's an unreliable drug addict and Izzy's a flake who can't be depended on? Should a reunion really shut down and go kaput cause two guys can't be relied on?
When Buckethead and Robin were in the band, they got immense hate from large portions of the fanbase...Now those same people who HATED them, now are like "I wish they were back"...The minute they walked out the door they suddenly liked them. Same with Bumblefoot. When CD was delayed, a loud contingent claimed CD "didn't exist" and that the 3-4 songs Axl was playing live were all he had...I remember this. Now, those same people are saying CD2 "doesn't exist" and that it's just song titles in Axl's head...Like, really?
There seems to be a portion of the GN'R fanbase that enjoys being disappointed - enjoys being able to complain about something. I mean all I heard for so long was reunion, reunion, reunion and now, maybe that's happening and they're poking holes in it.
When is enough enough? When can people just be satisfied? W
Everyone likes different things
I like Axl's influence on songs moreso than any other member of Guns, which is why I am happy for GN'R to continue. I have never cared for Slash's solo material. Izzy's was ok. I went on to like LA Guns material so I guess I liked Tracii Guns. Bucket is a niche taste, not for me. I like Robin Finck and his associated bands and projects. Bumblefoot material was ok.
At the end of the day, each element brings it's own fans, and they will forever disagree I guess

Then why don't you clear it all up for us and tell us why you are on a fan forum for a band that you constantly find reasons to whine and complain about.

I'm a fan because I like their music.
But when you, or anyone else, is resorting to those sorts of arguments to try and deal with someone that dares question something or not tell you everything is sunshine and puppy dog tails, the shark has been jumped.
Internalized homophobia analogies? Really?
Over the top. Silly.

We live in a world where people traverse oceans in life rafts to escape terrible living situations...yet here we have a rich and pampered rock star that can't get a collection of long recorded songs released.
So much of life comes down to "want to". You either do or you don't.
Yeah. What you said.
Silly indeed!

Some of the other boards are talking about someone that supposedly has an in with Slash that says he's not touring next year.
Would be encouraging if true, but who knows with these guys who know a guy.

Yep.
Which would be another good sign.

I would think all of us, really. Anyone still interested in the band.
I still don't even know of all this is real, but I do see how "starting to look very seriously at what they are doing in that regard" to getting the second half of Chinese out is going.
So I can't see poo-pooing this reunion or hybridized reunion tour, as if that alternative is a real world thing. Its this or nothing, from what I see.
This, or going back to nothing...but remembering how good a time you had at that show you went to that time, and being content as can be.

As we both know, some people have agendas which would spite people who love the old band, if they can't get what they want. These people are in positions of power and will end up stopping any form of reunion simply because they fear it will get in the way of CD2. Sad but true - the fans will this time destroy the band.

Can you elaborate?
Because initially, I assumed you were talking about TB. And I can't say I see that as the problem that some do, because ultimately, they are going to do whatever the boss man says.
But how can the fans hurt this? A bunch of yo-yos longing for Robin Finck?
