A Statement About Axl
«

I'd like to talk about this band, the new album, and maybe a little openess for our patience
I would love to help this band in that way, kinda like a street team, putting up posters and flyers for the band and spreading information all around. Those in different countries could be trusted to deliver information to the fans firsthand in different chapters.
The only problem is that this is Guns N Roses, a band who are very unforthcoming with information, and who sometimes dont make you feel as if youre even welcome to be a fan. You may ask me what the band owes me, and specifically they owe me nothing, but casting themselves into the spotlight and taking the cheques for performing the songs and selling the merchandise they have a responsibility, much like any celebrity does, to cater to their fans. With a band its a little more envolving then with an actor, since a band begs for help from the fans starting off in order to make money, sell the records, and afford their income.
Basically, it is you, me and everyone else whose ever had a passing interest in this band who has given Axl the lifestyle he enjoys today (and also the one he enjoyed for several years
in absentia
) and as a result I dont feel Im out of line to ask that before we dip our hands into our pockets again for tickets or merchandise we ask for a single, an album, a video, or just a little more openess
Suggestions?

My suggestion to you is to forget about this idea wholeheartedly.
Axl cares about his fans but, that only goes so far, in my opinion.
Not trying to hurt your feelings man but, I've seen this kind of thing first hand time after time with every upstart band.
Once they "make it " so to speak, thay're on easy street and they're whole attitude and perspective changes once that money starts rolling in.
Trust me dude.
Expend your energy on something more productive.

I always promoted the new band, showed my friends how great are the new musicians and songs.
What you posted is really true, looks like GNR doesn't want the fans to help, there is no interaction between the band and fans, the official website is updated with articles written by other people, not the band. It's weird, looks like a magazine, not an official site.
They can promote themselves very well, money is not an issue, the promotion should have started so long ago that now the fans are trying to begin something because the band is lethargic.
