Most of the negative comments I have seen have to do with questions of Axl's current vocal ability.
Which, honestly, aren't going away until that first show.
But he comes out on April 16th and can still belt it out, that talk dies.
That's all there is to it in my opinion. Axl's voice has changed dramatically for the worse after 2010. If he recovers his voice, this will be a massively sucessful tour.
I agree. Think it all comes down to that one aspect of all this.
I think tickets sell this time regardless. But future tours will depend on how he sounds this summer.

I find it funny how the media is reacting to this. Some journalists who have been writing shit about the 2001-2015 lineups and saying things like "it's only Axl, why bother" and demanding the older members back, are now telling us how this is just a cash grab and nothing more and it will suck and blah blah.

That's for sure. But then you'll have the delays bullshit, the no original 5, the no new music, the no certain songs instead of new songs, the no press release, you name it man, plenty of shits and all wrong.

BTW, to answer the topic. No, the GNR fanbase will never be satisfied.
The NuGNR supporters are already expressing their dissent regarding NewOldGNR (SLashDUFAXLGNR)

Don't you figure they struggle to find real numbers though? I sure do.

I think they should've started their dissent when Robin left. That's when I kind of let myself go emotionally.
While I do think their position is odd. I understand where they come from.
If this is just a cash grab, and no new music is released, the whole thing could look bad.

A bit of the BS is jut how GNR is. I wouldn't have it any other way tbh, as long as it doesn't get to a point where it ruins things.

Nah we'll probably never be satisfied. For me to be satisfied, I would need a good tour, new album and a new best of with 2 new songs before the new album.
Also unreleased box set of 4 discs with all the best unheard or rare stuff on it...

Nope. Casual fans just like Slash. Casual fans who think they are more than casual fans will beg for people like Gilby and Matt. Die-hard old school fans demand Izzy and Steven. Super nerds will demand Tracii Guns. Angry trolls just hate "Axel"
Imagine every current and former player lining up in every possible combination. One part of the crowd goes, "YES!!" and another goes, "BOO! NOT AUTHENTIC GNR!"
Also, what is up with so many angry "gnr experts" commenting about "Axel"?
For me, I'm freaking happy as hell with what's going on.

Hahahaha
How do people misspell his name? Even if you are not a fan, he is one of the most famous singers of his time.
Does anyone talk U2 and call him "Bonno"?

I think there is a line of reasoning similar to the hipster - one has to argue that the situation is not cool, while advocating for what is cool in his opinion, and that he knew it was cool before it was cool.
Take the Gilby thing, for example - at mygnr there is people demanding that Gilby is present. Well, Gilby represents absolutely nothing in GNR history, he accomplished absolutely nothing, he was not instrumental in absolutely anything. He is also an extremely average guitar player, technically miles behind Fortus and most other players that were a part of GNR at any point. But he is old, he was around in the 90s, so he is more legit, cooler and has to be there.

I'm very happy with the reunion news. I'm enjoying the amount of attention the world is paying to GNR right now.
But as far as fans go I have the most love and respect for the people on here who were perfectly prepared to stick it out with Tommy, Ron, DJ and the rest.
Props to everyone that stayed loyal the whole time.
or to put it another way "all the Guns N' Fuckin' Roses fans who stuck with us through all the fucking shit.."

Well, I would stick with them no problem, I just wanted them to do something. Five years of touring the same songs can get a bit stale, don't you agree?

Exactly. Well, we did get one demo leak from them.

Where does the need to use insults come from? Their music and performances are products, people have the right to be satisfied or not.
What is annoying is people who are not coherent - spend 10 years saying that the band is a farce because it doesn't have the original members; when thei finally reunite, the same people say Axl sold out. That is indeed idiotic.

I agree with the original poster. Quite a few people picking apart the "reasons" behind the reunion/reformation...While it's their right to do so, I can't help but think they should instead just enjoy the show. I for one, am very happy to see Axl, Slash and Duff on the stage - GRATEFUL to be more precise!

The world is so full of haters. I saw the trailer for Batman vs Superman and Ben Affleck is one HOT Batman. There was so much backlash when he got the role! GNR is going to put on some kick ass shows this year! I will always be grateful that I got to see them Up Close and Personal. Not much of a festival gal. Would only do Lollapalooza if I had VIP. But will see at least one stadium show in Chicago for sure!

Short answer: no
Longer answer: no, because once the band imploded, fans took sides. And as members came and went, more lines were drawn. To the point that I don't think it's possible to satisfy the entire fanbase.
