Everybody's entitled to to their opinion just because they differ from each other dosn't make one person's opinion better then the other mine just happens to be I don't like new GN'R and would rather see Velvet Revolver whether they are money grabbing or not is not an Issue for me I just prefer those guys as musicians to the new GN'r One's and I include Axl in that

first of all, no one is saying that they're not called GNR, get that straight. second of all, "3 stupid 'fans'" u should really learn how to count...

maybe if slash and duff wouldn't have gave up the rights to the gnr neme you would all be happy. you care more about the name of the band than the music. and i think that sucks. a lot. we have two bands instead of one and all you do is bash one or another. they chose to go separate ways and one of them got the name. if velvet were called gnr you would have the axl fans yellin thats not gnr. you people just won't let it go. and it's sad cos we're all here because of the music.

If you read interviews about how all that went down when they signed over the rights it was a pretty fucking BS move by Axl threatening not to go on with UYI tour if they didn't.....

I guess the other members of the band did so so they wouldn't have to cancel a world tour and piss off all their fans

Slash said in one interview a few years ago it was the only way they could get him to go on stage he said he would break up the band if they didn't ,so they comprimised to keep the band together

Exaclty, if Axl cares more about the music than the name, then why did he threaten not to go on tour unless they signed over the name?

[estrangedpaul]

Slash and Duff seem to have wanted to make a straight forward rock album. Which in old guns days is all they ever wanted... no ballads, just AFD songs.

For what it's worth, I think you're forgetting Fall To Pieces, You Got No Right and Loving The Alien.

i never meant to go back to the signing over the rights. i was trying to tell you that all this old gnr new gnr should stop. the music is important. and why do we care about who's keeping the name?
and by giving axl the rights they just postponed what was going to happen anyway in 94-95. and then the fans didn't matter.
maybe they should've never signed the rights to gnr, then they'd split up and nobody would be using the gnr name. and we would have been happy now having vr and axl rose band.
it's sad how it all went down.

there has always been a dispute about the GN'R name When Tracii left he din't want them to use the name, But then he gave in and said they could use it

[supaplex]

well, you have to admit, it's a beautiful name
