I don't dig the last GN'R line-up

[DeN]

difference is, time. in the case of GNR, all the members left except Axl (ok and Dizzy)
in a few years of inactivity, and not even under the eyes of the general public.

can't think of another case in rock history.

I am so tired of this argument.  I guess Metallica isn't Metallica because Mustaine and Burton aren't in the band...or Newstead.  I bet the great majority of people going to a GNR show can't name a band member besides Axl and Slash.  The main issue with the new incarnation was that Axl(In some/many ways brought it upon himself) had made so enemies in the press that it was going to be negative no matter what he did.

It wasn't Guns n' Roses. If Robert Plant tours with three guys and calls it Led Zeppelin, it's still not Led Zeppelin. Only Axl fanatics are able to say with a straight face that band was Guns n' Roses.

LOL.

All tickets said Guns N' Roses. All merchandise said Guns N' Roses. Chinese Democracy is a Guns N' Roses album.

Facts are facts, your opinion isn't a fact.

This is such a dumb argument. If Elon Musk bought the rights to the Guns n' Roses name then formed a band with himself, Donald Trump, Putin and Lindsay Lohan, it wouldn't be Guns n' Roses, whether the stupid merchandise said it or not.

You forgot Kanye West.

It would be.  Simple.
It’s a legal entity.
They own it?  It’s them.

There you go.


Arguing about it because you don't agree with it is just pointless. We've done that quite a few times already...
