You know who Axl owes something to?
Not us (the fans), but the original Gunners: Slash, Izzy, Steven and Duff. I think he owes them an apology.
Why? Cuz he ruined the band's legendary image with all his idiocy in 2002. Until then, there was a certain mystique about Axl Rose and the most dangerous band in the world.
Best darn post yet. Axl could have rocked us all. Kicked ass, given fantastic concerts all around the country (and world). Dropped a great CD, made a video..you name it. But he has managed to fuck it up pretty good here. He has to redeem himself now. Based on his prior actions, I don't see that happening.
So he does owe those guys an apology. After I saw him in LV, I figured that the past was the past and he was going to regroup and kick ass. What a letdown.

I can understand how people can say Axl doesn't owe anyone anything. I think Guns N Roses is as much the fans as it is Axl's. I have nothing against Axl using the name to make good music and continue a legacy. But he has dragged guns n roses through the mud and not in a rock n roll manner, he has lost all respect anyone had for the band and turned it into the biggest joke in rock n roll. I am only talking about his actions and not the musical quality. I think all of the new songs are phenomenal, but its unprofessional and disrespectfull to all fans when he lets a whole tour get canceled and does not follow through on his promises. I remmeber after the japan shows in 2002 he said somethnig about proving people wrong, well since then he's only proven the critics right, he is irresponsible, unreliable, disrespectful and unprofessional. He owes us all an appology or an explanation or an album good enough to justify his stupidity.
GnR is still my #1, but damn, it gets old when people laugh at you for just mentioning a name.

will geffen get money from CD and the next tours ?
i mean, if axl really hates geffen now, and vice versa, how will they work together ?
how axl will accept to tour and release a CD knowing that geffen is making money out of it ?
i mean, an artist hating his record company,it is really not helpful ...

What's strange is, where are the GNR spin teams? Where is the damage control? In my opinion, this is the worst place GNR has ever been in.
The last tangible thing GNR did was the 2002 tour which was canceled. A year of Silence. THe bare boned dvd's. The greatest hits disk which resulted in lawsuits between the band and the label. And Buckethead leaving because apparently, he is sick of the stupid shit too.
What else needs to happen before an official statement is made? Is the situation so grimm that not even an adequate?spin story can be made? GN'R Lies...what a fucking irony that album name is. That name which once represented the bullshit the media painted GNR as being, has now evolved to being a proficy.
Common GN'R. Lie to me. Tell me everything is cool. What happened? You suddenly now have some dignity? You so easily lied to us in the past. You lied to Geffen about when you were going to deliver your project.
You were paid for a job. You agreed to a timeline. There was a contract that YOU agreed to. But you lied. So common, why stop there? Come on out and tell us that the label is a bunch of faggots, and you got fucked with again. Lie to us. Stop being a bunch of pussies. Say something.
Shit dude, you OWE it to yourself and your legacy. There is no 2005 for you, unless the bullshit stops here.

Interesting question... what would you do if you were hired to be in GNR's spin team?
Would you blame it on the Bucket? And paint Axl as the victim? Or would you come clean about Axl and the silence of the past year?
If I was hired (as in I am contractually obligated to do this), I would play up the "Axl is one crazy mofo" theme - what else to do? Any thoughts?

They gave him 13 million and he's blown it.

Just asked this same question to my magic 8 ball
....hmm nope. It says "Not likely"
I mean really. Do you really see Chinese Democracy comin g out in the next 3 months. With everything that has gone down. Its just going to be poof, there it is. I can see it coming out in three months if a statement has been issued saying such, but they arent saying a damn thing.
So no. Not likely.
You know my bro paid this fool a couple thousand dollars to build him this piece of furniture. The dude never delivered. Always had these excuses for why it wasn't done when he said it was going to be. Months and months went by, and it wasn't till legal action was threatened until the fool just said that he was dealing with too much shit and he couldnt finish the piece. So my bro got the money back, but is shit out of luck on the furniture.
Axl is worse. He is like this same asshole my brother had to deal with except he isn't going to give the money back. If you say you are going to do something, be a man and fucking do it. Thats why Axl gets paid the big bucks. Its his job. He made an agreement, and he isnt delivering his end of the bargain.

i forgot until earlier that GNR canceled an entire tour of england in 2002 or was it 2001? so many shady, poorly planned things have gone down with this band that i think it was almost better that it ends this way...the songs will come out at some point in some form but without axl's support and then only the people on boards like this will buy it. no matter how great the album was going to be it was going to get trashed by the critics just because of a bias against axl. this way the music will come out via a lawsuit, axl will say "its not finished" and that will be his excuse however the music is received. it may take a couple years but the music will come out (unless axl burns the tapes) and I bet we will all love it and say "wow, wouldn't it have been great to hear "Prostitute" live or some song, at this point i am thinking at least an end to this maddness is in sight

Stop being so fuckin negative. I don't know about you,but Axl doesn't owe me anything. I could even say that I owe Axl the best three albums that I ever heard.
None of you know shit!! Not even Misteron! About the original band breaking up,about the cancelled tour and about CD. If Axl has done anything wrong,it's that he has given us too little information,making way for roumors and interpretations.
I suggest to you all to live your life,read a book,go out,listen to appetite and illusions and see what happens in lisabon.Don't be so fuckin dramatic

First of all, i dont think Axl owes an apology to anyone.nor the old memeber . Axl does what the fuck he wants since day one, what surprises us afterall?
At least i can say Axl is the one who has never let me down with music like any other bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson and the list goes fucking on!
What i dont like about Axl is cancelling tours. because i know a lot of people drives miles to get to the concert, so its not fair .But i dont know man! Its has been told that Axl needed a psquiatric to get to teh fuckin stage......so there you know Axl is not that well..

To Dead Horse and Madmandan:
Don't lose sight on what the facts are.
From the first thing stated in this thread:
Read this quote:
"Geffen decided to go ahead with the greatest hits album because Rose did not deliver on promises to complete a new record, tentatively titled "Chinese Democracy," a source familiar with the deal said on condition of anonymity.
Geffen has paid $13.5 million into the "Chinese Democracy" project, which has been more than seven years in the making, the source said."
Axl may not directly owe any of you motherfuckers a thing. But he does owe Geffen an album, that indirectly effects us all. You dig?

The artists you mention may have let you down with some of their music they released but at least they try and keep making music... I dont think any of Axl Roses music will ever let me down as i havent hated anything hes done yet...
