Is Friday the day?

[sky dog]

especially the Reading festival after the last two fiasco's.

[dmathski]

When is coachella normally announced? January?

 Jan 3rd I think or Jan 6th

[Mike McKagan]

Today does not appear to have been the day.

Here you go:

GUNS N' ROSES IS CONFIRMED ON READING AND LEEDS FESTIVAL 2016.

WAINTING FOR NEXT FRIDAY 4

Before anybody thinks that is real: IT'S FROM A FAN FACEBOOK PAGE! It's obviously bullshit.

Hahahahaha

I don't know why, but this exchange produced an actual laugh out loud moment for me. 

The set-up, the delivery, then the use of the bold...just tremendous.

Gold, Jerry!  Gold!!

Thanks for confirming   

[faldor]

more and more silly everyday...

nothing from nothing is nothing.

You don't really think that a festival promoter will announce a Gnr reunion do you? No way....the band would hold some form of a press conference to launch. At least I would hope so....

I would hope so too. But I've stopped trying to figure things out at this point. But you would think a huge reunion like this would be handled a little more carefully than just randomly being announced as a headliner for a festival in the wee hours of a Friday morning.

Glad I didn't buy into any of the hype this time around.

You guys have to let that go. You bring it up every couple of weeks or so. It's old, it's tired, it's played out. "Exciting times" may have been a poor choice of words. But she clearly explained what she meant. It's a matter of perspective. She remains hopeful and "interested" in where this merry go round takes us. It's not as you choose to paint it. She's not sitting at home receiving the news that DJ has left the band saying, "Yes!! This is awesome! I love that GNR is down their two lead guitarists now!" She's taking the stance that, the story isn't over. There's another chapter yet to be written and nobody knows what that might be. It's intriguing to some. If you don't see it that way, fine. I know you guys don't like her, she doesn't like you, but you have to understand that's her frame of mind.

I do like her, actually.

True, we don't get along all that well.  But she clearly knows a lot about music.  I've had several good conversations with her.

And, let's be honest, sometimes when it goes south...lot of my fault.

I do see this point you are making though, faldor.  I just disagree that people should be shocked there are fellow fans hoping there is someone at the wheel here and have some doubts where we're going.

Poor Scotty never got to see his band Velvet Revolver team up with Axl again. I can't believe is passed, great talent, the few year VR had was great

waiting for cd2 (and f's announcement) starts now. /popcorn

[TheBaconman]

But

This one lives on......

I love Weds..

Hump day!

It's not just the "exciting times" post. It's her general attitude towards people on this forum. She is incapable of listening to a point of view that doesn't resonate with her own. Her snide remarks are just a tool she uses to undermine anyone she doe not agree with. She comes across as the ultimate pom pom cheer leading brown noser.

Of course this will all be refuted, but i am not the only person who has caught her out with this act.

[OscarAxl22]

I would think if there was news regarding any future line up.. it wouldnt be coming from festival organizers. You can  X 100000 if any future line up involves Slash. Any announcement would be surely made by Axl or GNR management.

So last friday was never happening IMO.

And why would that bother you? You go to a fan site and you come across somebody who's too much of a fan. That's a problem?
The problem is the opposite of what you accuse her of.

That doesn't hold much weight when you are the person announcing it. I am sure you love the adulation she gives without questioning a single thing... to some of us, the blind fandom looks ridiculous.

You think i'm not a fan? We've been over that. And it's been discredited.

[jarmo]

It's a serious question. You go to a fan site, and get all bothered because somebody is "too much of a fan".
Makes little sense to me.

If you ask me, that's the one place where I would expect to find any kind of fan.

You think i'm not a fan? We've been over that. And it's been discredited.

Did I say that in my post or is that your persecution syndrome at work again?

I thought my post was pretty basic.  The problem isn't the fans that you consider are too much of a fan. The problem is the ones with all kinds of conditions on when/if they'll actually will bother to say something even remotely nice. Now, if you feel targeted by that, then that's on you.

So next time you wanna post about how you don't like a person who's too much of a fan, just keep it to yourself.

Where did i say she was "too much of a fan"? Lets clarify my point so you cant twist it to suit yourself.. here we go...

Emily is an abusive Poster. She attacks other posters who do not share her "everything is awesome" attitude or dare to question things about the negative aspects/goings ons towards all things GNR with snide comments and often times point blank rudeness which you refuse to address whilst always finding a moment to pick myself or others up on because we dont fall into line. There is a difference between being a fan (even a really really big fan) who supports the band, compared to her behavior.

As for your last point about keeping it to yourself, i was responding to a comment by faldor, on a topic that has been done regarding her, id moved on until saw the comment and i responded. I also had a second post regarding the topic, but you chose to ignore that one and concentrate on the Emily post. (No surprises there either).




 

[OscarAxl22]

I honestly cannot believe that anyone thought GNR would allow a festival to announce they were headlining anything before they have made their own announcement.

Sorry for finding it somewhat confusing when obvious smart asses are so easily offended by somebody else's behavior....
I've said it many times, maybe this would be different if you weren't so focused on the "negative aspects".....

Not offended.  Just pointing out that its patently obvious she gets a pass.

Not for "being too much of a fan".  That's ridiculous.  But the way she carries herself and talks to people.  Clearly, she has nothing to fear on that front.

Of course, given that large chunks of this conversation that was had last night seems to have mysteriously gone among the missing, none of really expect that to change any time soon.

And that's fine.  We obviously have all made our peace with it.

Insist... GNR Not Play Here
