matt-we need a break

[Jak0lntrn]

WOW! You people really need a hobby. Or possibly a new soap opera. General Hospital, anyone?

[AxlGunner]

isn't a gnr message board a hobby? 

or should i be building model airplanes?

who am i kidding... of course this is lame. but i'm at work, looking for something to distract me. 

[jarmo]

so it would've been completely different if he said "we'll be back"? i think with vr, we KNOW they'll be back- they don't need to reassure us; this isn't gnr.

No, it was an example of a possible quote without the agents/management part.

Also, as already stated just before, "management and the agents kept adding dates and before we know it, it was up to seven weeks" doesn't imply "we didn't know they were adding dates". ?the phrase "before we know it" is an expression that shouldn't be taken literally- it is usually used to mean something like "before we actually had a chance to sit back and think about what happened".

That's one way to see it.

But then you could say "what kind of band books shows without knowing it's too many for them to handle?". ?

That's also a "joke"!



There were some issues with the US tour and certain dates being announced/cancelled so obviously things aren't as smooth as they could for some reason.

I love VR and GNR and, well, I guess this is sorta a hobby. But you know where I'm coming from here. I've read some 'interesting' threads here, but you all sound like a bunch of speculating, bickering hens that really have no clue as to what's going on with either band. One thing being a GNR fan taught me, just be happy with what you get, cuz it might be the last.

I agree with you man. Despite how it may seem, i'm as big an axl fan as a vr fan. i thoroughly enjoy both their music.

i just don't know why jarmo is trying so hard to seemingly criticize the band.

"But then you could say "what kind of band books shows without knowing it's too many for them to handle?".  "

who is "you"? why does this need to be picked apart? shit happens, bands cancel dates, bands book too many shows, whatever. it's their first biiig tour in many years for these guys, they probably aren't used to doing it with a family. you also say "things aren't as smooth as they could be for some reason"... well, you also said in another post that all bands cancel dates, it happens. so what's the problem? are you going to make fun of every band too? i think bringing up gnr touring and comparing it to vr was trouble from the beginning, only because the two situations are 180 degrees apart from one another. gnr is the exception to the rule, in just about every category.

k i'm done.

That was a joke. I even pointed it out for you!

I don't criticize the band, I'm just pointing out things I find interesting or amusing. Instead of talking about Axl's hair, I'd rather question certain statements made recently or talk about recent events.

you also say "things aren't as smooth as they could be for some reason"...

Yeah, another observation about them announcing shows that didn't happen.

This is the VR section, I thought we could talk about things that has happened to that band here.


But I remember Dave Kushner (I think) apologizing for the tour date mess at that point. So obviously there was an issue in the past if even a band member mentions it.

yes you said 'its a joke'. but that doesn't mean you didn't at least partly mean it as a counterargument.

perhaps your humor is too subtle for me. or i just don't get it.

oh wait- here's a point that i want to make that goes against what you said, but i don't want people to think i'm actually supporting it, so... um... it's all a joke!

anyway... i've officially lost track of what you were trying to say in the first place.

maybe you just see certain comparisons because you want to see them. oh well.

here's my change of subject: congrats vr on a successful album and touring for a year, can't wait for the next go around (should we call it "the round 2 tour"?  maybe the redhead can take notes!   ... a joke, people! (phew, that'll get me off the hook)).

[W. Botaxl Rose]

I just think it's funny that Jarmo has to come to a VR board cause there's absolutely nothing to talk about on his fake gnr luvfest board. HAHA. u all know when these pansies show up trying to cause rifts it means that VR is doing very well, or else why would anyone care? Can't wait for the 2nd album, u know it's gonna be dominant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BTW, everyone knows botaxl had to cancel those tours cause his hairplugs wouldn't take! Like he didn't know they were booked, as if! 

[Walapino]

agh who cares about this cancelling shit, Pink Floyd got back together  and VR are actually playing in the same venue in Live 8!!
Did VR wish Pink Floyd was here and they got what they asked for??? 

[Jak0lntrn]

Since the topic was brought up earlier, I figured I'd ask something different. What IS the deal with Axl's hair? I mean, I associate the botox look with his weight gain (I saw an interview pre-Illusion albums where he referenced eating too much, he needs to run around on stage again), but what IS the deal with his hair? Did it really go? Or did he just do that braided weave thing to look trendy?

i believe this belongs in another thread/section 

[Intercourse]

VR are tired and feel unable to complete those dates.
Nobody had to show up, sit through a DJ and a bad backing band and then be told to go home.
Nobody rioted and nobody smashed anything.
Nobody got arrested.
Nobody got beaten by police or injured by flying debris.
Everybody knows why these dates were cancelled.
No apologies were felt to to be deserving to fans of particular cities.

VR run their business like adults, Matt pointed out that they are tired and need a rest.
They knew the dates were booked but underestimated how tired they would be after the US jaunt
Axl is supposed to be the epicentre of GNR and somebody books an entire tour behind his back...
Trying to tie one to the other is just a tired attempt to either drag VR down or bring some activity back to the GNR farce which quite frankly, is exhibiting nothing worth mentioning right now.
Just callin' it as I see it.
peace,
Intercourse.

Far and away the most intelligent laterally thought out post on this ridiculous thread.

Very, very simple. VR shortened a tour as they got tired, and the dates kept piling up.

Axl claimed to have not known an ENTIRE TOUR was booked . (Geez he tours sooo much, I can understand getting confused )


Spot the difference.
