He is the only member who treats the fanbase with decency. Stand up guy.

Of course he plays up to GNR fans, he is counting on them to buy his albums and go to his shows, that is a no-brainer.

He also manipulates people and starts controversy in the media, not such a cool quality, neither is talking crap about someone that has paid you well, given you exposure, and an opportunity to travel extensively.

Ingratitude isn't such a "stand-up" quality, imo.

I disagree. He does not seem to have been turned into a Stepford Wife by Team Brazil. Ron asks the exact same questions the fans (most fans) ask: ''why don't you release albums?''; ''why do you go on late?''.

Ron is the only honest outspoken member of that band. To be a new gnr member you have to, clam up and shut up. You have to adopt their politics.

Just because you agree with what he says.

This was expected.
It was obvious which fans would sympathize with him as soon as he made that kind of comments. Complain about GN'R in public, gee wonder who'll agree. Surprise, the mortismurphy brigade of course!

You mean posting a mysterious countdown in the middle of a tour on your Twitter is the decent thing to do? Interesting.

I don't agree that he's the only member who treats the fans with decency. I think that's bullshit. Just because Ron goes out of his way to invite fans to hotel lobbies and plays guitar for them doesn't mean the others don't like the fans or don't treat them with decency.

Your right.  However, those who have been around long enough (Stinson, Fortus, Dizzy,etc) and those fans who have been around long enough....know the answer.  It's not really weird that the people who ask these questions are relatively new to the party.  Those of us who have been around long enough however, know how it is....and have come to accept it.  Axl goes on stage later in the night (although earlier as of late), and he doesn't put out albums until he's satisfied.  This is the way that it is.  Pretty simple really.  What I don't understand are when these questions continue to come from people who have supposedly been around for a long time?  You, DX, and others.  Axl isn't going to change because YOU ask these questions or complain.

Expect a reply about how they're not trying to change anything. Cheesy

You are correct there. There is not an element of logic or reasonable behaviour present.

And I think you are exhibiting whiny little bitch behavior, you  invent things to criticise GNR about, like the 1.99 delusion you imagined.

One who enjoys finding errors will then start creating errors to find.

Why are you here? Reasonable behavior is apparently beyond your understanding, who insists on posting refuse and filth on a fan forum for a band they apparently don't understand or even enjoy?

GNR will never run on your entitled little terms, get over it or get used to it. #fuckthehaters

While true, I do not particularly understand how this absurd band operate, I never said anything about the enjoyment of music - especially the old records. Also, the usual HTGTH ''why are you here?'' line. I have barely posted in the last two weeks!

Well then this should tell you exactly why certain people are anti Ron ... question Axl Rose... and people don't like that... nothing else to really understand.

The only thing I don't understand at this point is what is keeping Ron from spilling... what does he have to lose by god forbid explaining all of this or his reasoning for no longer wanting to be a part of the current situation.

Even if he was on stage with GN'R today, it wouldn't change the fact that his actions created unnecessary drama.

I DO NOT disagree with you about this. But, it was only unnecessary because he has not explained anything...just thinly veiled hints. If he just clarified... then there would be nothing dramatic about it.

So yea...it's annoying.

The anti Ron brigade is still over the top IMO.

Yeah exactly... but what does he have to lose? he makes himself look bad by keeping quiet, and if ties are severed like we all tend to believe...

It sounds like he is honoring a request not to comment on his status in the band, probably from management.  They may want to make the announcement.  Hopefully they say something, anything, soon.

True.

But he also put up with it all this time.  I think he has to lose some legitimacy points for that part of it.  It obviously wasn't killing him.

Well... when does management make any kind of statement? Not a criticism.. just an observation. Sometimes just a brief statement from Axl that I have trouble reading... haha.
