The corporations would be pushing it even if it didn't make money. They fear being labeled bigots more than they fear losing money on a project.
The last time the West had any fight was 1945. We're just going to have to suck it up for the next hundred years at least.
Sadly I agree with you, and I tend to be an optimistic person.

This company needs to be boycotted. Period.
This madness will not stop until these corporations stop pushing it and the only way to achieve that is by speaking with your wallet.
Even then, though, do you really think it will stop? We’ve seen so many woke products and such crash and burn, but the studios seem intent on pushing this agenda nonetheless.

I think the reunion has been really cool.
I think it’s been cool in so far as it’s nice that they were able to patch things up…It would’ve sucked if they went the rest of their lives holding all that old animosity toward each other.
I just wish it could be more productive in terms of new material

Can’t think he’s creatively satisfied. Axl May have changed, but I’m sure the late show the other night brought back PTSD from all the times Axl went on stage late due to anxiety back then as well.

Slash makes very clear in his book that the late starts were a major factor in his disillusionment in the band. He viewed it as disrespectful to himself
Now, here in 2022, we have a situation in at least some ways similar to 1996:
No (real) new music on the horizon
Axl runs the show
I feel that within a year or two at most, Slash will depart again. This time on more amicable terms, but still.
Miser, disrespectfully, please dick off to your groomer corner.
Respectfully please stop engaging in libel and leave me alone thank you.

Gilby, who doesn’t even feature on the song, said he did it while they were on tour? Somehow I don’t think so Gilby…
He was saying that the band did the song without him while he was touring his solo album.
#96 Re: Guns N' Roses » Why no photo shoots after 1991? » 152 weeks ago
It's a bit strange. They did music videos together, so why so hard to arrange a simple band photo?
I'm trying to picture it. When they were about to release TSI there must have been somebody going "we need a band photo for this". I can't really see Axl going "no fuck that" because he can't be bothered. Maybe nobody dared to ask? Or they did and he kind of forgot about it in between court dates?
In any case it is a clear symptom of the estrangement of the band, particularly Axl. They practically only met him on stage from 91 onwards. Didn't travel with them, didn't live with them, didn't hang out with them.
Any other bands with weird dynamics like that?
Look at the sole video for TSI, SIHDY. Axl’s parts in the film were shot separate from the rest of the band.
Estranged too, apart from the sequences culled from live performances
Axl to me honestly seemed progressively more and more “done” after Izzy quit. I truly think that when Izzy left, a big part of Axl’s heart or interest in “original Guns” left as well.

After the release of the UYIs there was not a single official photo shoot of the band together as a whole unit until around 2012 or so….
Any idea why? You had shots of Gilby and Slash done in 1992 or so; Meanwhile TSI’s booklet has only separate tour shots of the band.
Axl wasn’t averse to having his photo taken or anything - he did portrait photo shoots by Sante in 1992 and 1993, a photo shoot during the filming of the SIDHY video in early 94, another official shoot of him by Sante in 2006, etc
But virtually nothing of the band as a whole since 1991. Why?

Interview with the Vampire came out in November 1994
News outlets reported GNR recording the song in October 1994
However the movie was filmed between the fall of 1993 and the spring of 1994
Slash claimed that Axl got the idea for GNR recording the song after seeing a screening of the film
Axl in his fax to MTV said Slash hadnt been musically involved in Guns since April 1994
But as noted, news reports gave hot press of GNR recently recording the song in October 1994
So when was it recorded? April 94? October? Any clues?
Gilby said he did the song while he was on tour, but it’s unclear when those dates were.

Nobody had a clue although after the GNR/Metallica 1992 tour the last few 1993 dates got comparatively little attention.
“The Spaghetti Incident” seemed like another placeholder. Only when Duff and Slash released their solo albums did it start to seem like something was wrong, compounded when Duff seemed more committed to Neurotic Boy Outsiders. I don’t quite recall when a split was formally mentioned but probably in 1996?
It was formally announced when Axl sent his fax to MTV on October 31st, 1996 announcing Slash was gone and had been gone since April 1994 outside of a brief period in the Fall of 1995.
