A few years back they were to Perform here after the chinese democracy album was released. They scrapped the concert and never gave any reason why. Axl no doubt had some tantrum and refused to play. I've been preaching for about a decade now that I still believe the original lineup will reform. Eventually at some point they will either be out of money or something else. Kiss for example said they would never play again with the original members, and they did. Proclaiming it was the Farewell tour 2000 , Same with Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. Ozzy Osbourne back in 1992 said this would be the last time hed tour. It was for No More Tears, the shirts I bought even had The No More Tours Tour. The following tour was dubbed Retirement Sucks tour. He also still performs live to this very day. All these bands swore they'd never play again and did just the opposite. Id say to give it a few more years and guns will eventually reform in its original lineup.</p> <p>When I saw the band live in San Francisco back in 1987 with Aerosmith they were steller. The music never missed a beat. They were electric and had chemistry. I think with a little work they could bring that back.</p> <p>Fergie is big with the kids today. I put it down somewhere else in the forum, when your a mjor star in music its somewhat of a brotherhood. Rockers take a certain liking to pop stars and rappers and so on. When amy winehouse died people came out of the woodwork commenting on her death , Dave Mustane, Cher, Madonna and I think even slash gave their condolances. When michael jackson died even dolly parton put in her words of sorrow. Lucinano Pavaratti the opera singer sent Wendy Dio a box of flowers and a letter of condolance when we lost Ronnie. Music is weird like that. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses#post-37887 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:54:12 +0000 Spanx 37887@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i have been reading through this thread tonight, and referencing YouTube for videos for comparison (after being a teen in the 80s one too many braincells are dead to remember it all) After viewing and viewing video after video i have several statements that i believe to be true.</p> <p>Watching a video of the most recently filmed version of Axl and his band i found that the music behind the vocals was technically as precise as the original line up; however, when going to the video of the old school version of GnR i realized what the difference was. That difference was based on emotion. it is even evident in Axl's singing. When Slash plays a song, even if one is not watching Him do it, one can tangibly feel the emotion that He is sending through the strings. The same was true of Axl, as in the old school vids, one can actually see the emotion coming through Him, can feel the loneliness or joy that He evoked in a song. That is not evident in the way that Axl sings these days. it still is in Slash's playing though. If you have doubts as to this, i suggest watching Alice Cooper's 'Along Came a Spider' movie short. Slash is featured in the video/movie and when He plays it is still possible to 'feel' what He is sending out through the strings of His guitar. When i think of Axl Rose, i tend to think of Him in the late 80s early 90s. Part of the effect that He had on the teens of that era IMHO was his venture into sleaze. Much like the effect that Elvis Presley had upon the teens in His early career. Elvis was known for his hip movements, and for that time frame it was unheard of. The hip movements of Elvis though were nothing compared to the lithe sway and strokes of Axl Rose. Back in the day, Axl could make virtuous girls throw themselves into a fervor imagining being in bed with him. my thought on this is that either he was amazing there or the most conceited sob in existence. </p> <p>While viewing on YouTube i found what i thought was one of the funniest videos and sadist in existence. it was from the superbowl where Slash performed a small section of Sweet Child of Mine with Fergie. *who the fuck is Fergie and why is she trying to do a GnR song?*<br /> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3kRub5hKRDM"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3kRub5hKRDM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /> Slash with a bunch of other non glam performers.<br /> i will end with that bit of horror.</p> <p>Seriously though, if you are going to make me go to karaoke then at least give me a couple shots of Jack before you make me listen to things like that. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/5#post-37856 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:32:10 +0000 Punk420 37856@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>there might be a new album coming out. i wouldn't be getting too excited about it.

Maybe he is private, maybe he is irrational, who cares? It's all about the music. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/5#post-37388 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:51:38 +0000 Beth 37388@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>...

What're you talking about? Axl Rose is God... at least I think so.</p> <p>Anyway, I thought it was Izzy and Vince who had the dispute, and Vince claimed to have broken Izzy's nose and Izzy was just like "He had a free, full-on right hand punch and still didn't manage to cause any damage"...<br /> Then he said he'd be happy to fight Vince whenever he wanted? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/5#post-37374 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 21:20:04 +0000 metalrulesall 37374@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i like axl and all but im pretty sure hes got/had a huge fuckin ego problem...he thought he was fuckin god,perhaps that can explain why he chickened out of that fight with vince neil that time haha...seriously that was a punk move </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/5#post-37373 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 21:13:43 +0000 Beth 37373@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>He was just... beautiful to begin with, now not so much! xD </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/5#post-37372 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 04:40:15 +0000 Punk420 37372@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>lol yeah. the fucked up part is he wasnt a bad lookin dude to begin with. just like michael jackson... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/5#post-37370 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 23:42:47 +0000 Beth 37370@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Aha, okay man we'll agree to disagree! xD<br /> And yeah, they do! Though yeah, the plastic surgery is a tad weird! He looks like Hulk Hogan now... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-37369 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:56:10 +0000 Punk420 37369@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>metalrulesall: it was crap. a guns n roses/nirvana concert would have been LEGENDARY!!! And both were equally to blame for the feud. the only difference was kurt was smart enough to play the victim.</p> <p>beth: and i agree with you all the way up to the drugs part. really the drugs thing is a matter of opinion. i say drugs us one of the few times where acting like a moron, mainly cause i been there. there have been so many nights where i shoulda had my ass beat lol but luckily i had great friends that knew i was just high. kurt went to alot of doctors which none of them could give him a diagnosis. im not sure if he ever tried oxycodone or morphine, but i do know that heroin is WAY better. Anyway GNR kick ass regardless of axle being an asshole or getting plastic surgery XD </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-37368 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:56:22 +0000 Beth 37368@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I know Axl was bugging him a lot and I guess it would be kind of annoying, plus I know Kurt didn't want Nirvana to go main stream like Guns N' Roses, but still there was no need to be such a dick! At the end of the day I think they were both being really childish, as did the rest of the music industry, Dave Grohl said it was the most immature thing he'd seen since third grade! Also though, I don't think there was any need for Kurt and Courtney to have provoked Axl that time they "asked" him to be their daughter's Godfather, then again Axl shouldn't have reacted the way he did. They both needed to grow up if you ask me! As for the drugs thing, it still makes him a douche for hitting that security guard! I mean, drugs are no excuse really, was there no medication he could take for this stomach pain as apposed to heroin? Also, I think it was really irresponsible of him to kill himself considering he had a wife and daughter. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-37363 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 03:29:55 +0000 metalrulesall 37363@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>as for the whole "kurt and axl thing" i think its just fuckin crap for 2 reasons 1:yes,axl probly was(being the opprtive word)more talented but them gives him no reason what so ever to be such a prick to kurt and vice versa....yeah they are rockstars and what not but take it from me ladies and gentleman,its not that hard to get along c wat im sayin lads ? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-37362 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:08:55 +0000 Punk420 37362@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Yea he did start it, but in his defense axle was buggin him for awhile. He kept calling him begging him to do some shows with him. Kurt just didn't like there band. If he was askin me I woulda been like "HELL YEA!" lol And for the security guard incident...have you ever done drugs besides weed or alcohol? It makes you do stupid shit lol. And, like I said earlier, he had severe chronic stomach pain which heroin helped. so he could either be a junkie the rest of his life or be in chronic pain for the rest of his life. either way he had a grim future. plus he was being bashed by the media. Oh and yea axle is more talented i think. but slash is still really talented. and axles voice is probably the best voice in rock of all time except for robert plant's voice. Oh and besides ann wilson. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-37355 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 00:16:53 +0000 Beth 37355@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I agree Slash is much nicer and down-to-Earth, but in terms of talent I'd have to say Axl's better. I mean, to me his voice is fucking phenominal, plus like I said I think he's an amazing pianist, lyricist and front man. His lyrics are so meaningful, not like the crap in the charts nowa days! And he has amazing stage presence. Though I also agree he's a total douche. BUT, I also think that Kurt Cobain was a complete DICK! He was the one that started the feud between him and Axl, he spat on his piano keys at a gig that Nirvana were opening for Guns N' Roses. Plus there's a video of him on Youtube diving into the crowd and then hitting a security guard with his guitar for no reason at all! I also hate how he said he didn't want to be overrated and conformative yet he kills himself and becomes a public icon. What the fuck's with that? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-37287 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 23:22:34 +0000 Punk420 37287@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Guns N' Roses is fine, but Axle Rose is a DOUCHEBAG. What kinda asshole shows up an hour late to their own concerts? And don't say he was being "fashionably late". Kurt Cobain was never late for his shows. Even with his debilitating chronic stomach pain. Fuck Axle. Slash is way more awesome then he is. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-36771 Thu, 19 May 2011 11:02:22 +0000 Beth 36771@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Guns N' Roses are without a doubt my favourite band; they have been since I was an infant- I love them. To me, original GN'R are perfect, Axl Rose is the closest thing to God this world will ever see and Appetite for Destruction is nothing short of a work of art. I love how every element of them fits together so perfectly; Axl and his amazing voice, piano playing and beautiful lyrics, Duff with his brilliant bass playing and occasional backing vocals, Izzy with his phenomenal guitar playing and occasional backing vocals (I love how his voice has a lovely 'blues' element to it), Steven and his incredible drumming and Slash (half man, half beast) with his outstanding guitar playing, each rhythmic riff more wonderful than the last. Like I said, they're perfect and they have real chemistry. I also love how progressional some of their songs are, for example You Could be Mine, the drum and bass at the beginning is fantastic- I love how their songs tend to start with drum and bass and then progress to Axl's voice before erupting into a guitar solo. And if being the perfect band musically wasn't good enough for them, they also manage to have a great image and be the five most attractive people ever to have lived! I wish so much I could have been born in the 60s, making me old enough to go see them when they were in their prime... that would be awesome. BUT- on the plus side, I am going to see Slash play on the 24th of July (the day after his birth day), and in Stoke, the place he was born and hasn't been since he was a child! So excited &lt;3 </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-35256 Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:43:18 +0000 Annette 35256@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I love Guns, those guys were fabulous and fun while they were together, with Axl - Duff, Slash, Izzy, Sorum etc. I always loved to watch their concerts, Axl's intro speeches, Slash's Godfather theme, Duff's hot moves with his bass... And their songs always remember me of those times. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-35038 Thu, 06 Jan 2011 02:15:04 +0000 Shadow_of_A_Doubt 35038@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Slash has said if you listen to the GnR cover of Sympthy for the Devil, thats actually the sound of a band breaking up. Guns werent I dont think glam. The climaxed all at once and never could again. As album after album lept coming out they got weaker and weaker after Appatite for Destruction. Axl is delusional, he is nothing without the original Guns lineup. I miss this band terribly. A shame axl and the band had to get a divorce. They were fun to see in concert too. I saw them live with Aerosmith in 1988. Friggin stupid crazy. Axls mic went out so he tossed the stand into the first 8 rows of seats, then two amps blew so he stormed offstage. The crowd was pissed off so Slash told the whole area to " rip the whole fuckin place apart, I dont give a shit " , The next time I was supposed to see GunsN Roses was when they came here with Iron Maiden. Its raining friggin buckets at Cal-Expo ampatheater in Sacramento, California, I mean the rain was a total downpour. But I went anyways and at the last second Axl got " sick " so Guns N Roses canceled. Kewl thing was that Iron Maiden played for a good 6 hours to make up for that Guns N Roses pulled. I have my doubts if axl was really sick or not. He was probably on his period, that happened alot while Guns N Roses were an active band. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-32709 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:52:17 +0000 Elsie 32709@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Saw slash recently on his tour featuring myles kennedy. Their Gn'R covers rocked the crowd, seriously amazing stuff. And myles kennedy really does justice to all the songs. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-32665 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:46:07 +0000 Retroman 32665@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>August 16th 2010</p> <p>Axl Rose's Twitter account currently reads:</p> <p>"All upcoming Guns N' Roses dates are officially cancelled. Please contact your place of purchase for any refunds." </p> <p>It is claimed that this statement was due to a computer hack thus all forthcoming Guns N'Roses tour dates will go ahead as planned. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/guns-n-roses/page/4#post-26228 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:57:45 +0000 alicenchainzpantera 26228@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Huge GnR fan! Them and Alice in Chains! I wasn't born until a few years before Axl's band (not GnR at that point really) started Chinese Democracy. </p>
