Alternative Possibilities...

[Old Hat]

Sometimes you lot just amaze me. I mean, I'm a massive, massive fan of the band too. But, you know - all this stuff on here about the new album :  when its coming, what it'll sound like, etc....

Is there no-one on this list who'd just love Guns N Roses to draw a line? To just end things as they were? To go down in history as a great, classic band who made four stunning original albums then imploded in a blaze of glory. What a way to remember them, eh?

I don't want GNR to wreck the impact they made with some ropey, dull, bloated, over-produced record 15 years too late. Just let it lie. Don't ruin the memory. Enjoy it for what it was.

this is a section for the Current Band.

Go to Dead Horse or Wasn't Yesterday Great to bitch and moan

In that case, you forget about the band and the fans and leave us alone.

Then the past is all yours. The future is ours. some are lucky to have both.

A happy compromise!

Well maybe in about 1996 I would've agreed.

However Chinese Democracy. I guarentee there would be utter OUTRAGE and violence if Axl went public and said Chinese Democracy wasn't happening. I dread to think of the consequences!

 I'm sick and tired of morons like Old Hat. If you aren't interested in Chinese Democracy, why in the fuck are you here??

Thank you James.

It seems like these new posters only end up posting 2 posts about how bad C.D. will be and then they leave.

Old Hat....sorry, guess you posted this in the wrong section.  Now it's been moved to the dead horse section, so hopefully you are safer here.  I totally agree with you.  I think it would have been better if Guns had ended back in the late 90's after Slash, Matt, & Duff left.  Axl should have just disbanded it then, rather than continue on with the name and a bunch of musicians (although they've been very talented) who have come & gone.  GnR was a great band - one of the greatest.   But, I personally feel like Axl has made this (unintentionally, perhaps) into a joke.  It's not the same, and he hasn't released anything since, despite promises through the years.  If & when CD is released, it's basically a new version of a band.  It's not the same.  It's Axl with a new band, calling it GnR.  Personally, I think it's very disrespectful to the name GnR, because that band was not just about Axl. 

P.S. Be very careful what you say here, and in what section you post things.

I think to say Axl's made GN'R a joke is an overreaction. Perhaps its made GN'R a joke to us.. but we love the goddamn band anyways.

As for other people.. they don't even know the "new" GN'R exsists. The old GN'R legacy is untouched by Axl and the new band. If anything Axl further mystifies the downfall of the band and transforms it from being some "dead band" like Aerosmith to somekind of never ending legacy. GN'R just has this mysterious vibe to it that makes it so appealing.. you never know what will happen. Its not just a band, its an enity.

Im sorry if I couldn't express that properly.. but hopefully some of you understand what im trying to say.

Its in no way disrespectful. Those three left the band, and Axl continued it.

And it was silly to keep going, but we're at the business end now. Its gotta be here soon... come on the guy's gonna die before it comes out. Please hurry, William. Please.
