I've always been curious as to why this kind of comment goes unnoticed yet if someone were to say Axl had a better band behind him in 1991 you'd be labelled a hater of the new era. Yet people can openly praise the 2000-2002 era as though it's the best thing since sliced bread. I've never understood that. I can only imagine some of the comments if someone were to say Axl had a better band behind him in 1991. Thems be basically fighting words with some, yet people can nonchalontly say it about the 2002 band in compariosn to the 2011 band and it's a non issue. Weird.
This isn't really directed at you Jimmy Zig Zag, just a general observation about your comment which I've seen similar posts to from various members and the reactions or lack there of that it getss.
I think its fine to like whatever you like.
I like all eras of GnR. I haven't been around these sites much over the last couple years and over that time I've realized that no one's opinion about Guns should bother me or piss me off. All that matters is my own. We all have the right to like whatever we like or prefer what we want. If you prefer 1991, great. If you prefer 2001, great. If you prefer right now, great. I can get into all of it and my days of trying to label people as haters for liking what they like is a thing of the past. I think it took detaching myself from the GnR world for a couple years to realize that.

Finally got to see a nice chunk of the show and it was pretty disappointing in some ways, but it wasn't as bad as all the comments I have been reading. Axl wasn't prepared, and the performance wasn't as good as it was 10 years ago in Rio. But the reality is, Axl was 10 years younger than and had a better band behind him. I think he will get better as the tour progresses and I hope they make some west coast dates! I haven't been following GnR as closely over the last couple years and my interest died down a lot after Robin left, but I will always be willing to go see the latest incarnation of Guns N' Roses, regardless of whose in it!
The show was probably better to those attending it, its just a shame that was the show that was broadcast to the world 
Estranged was killer! I never enjoyed that song live but BBF nailed it and Axl sounded great. He still has it, I just think he needs to put a little more preparation into these kinds of things after his touring breaks.

I wouldn't be doing what I do for a living without Steve Jobs (I'm an iPhone developer these days, not the old job). He will truly be missed. I haven't bought a non-Apple computer in at least 10 years.

I think it would be fun if everyone ever associated with Guns could be there. From Traci Guns to Robin Finck. Especially Robin Finck.

Maybe the reason is simply personal and in this respect, Richard does not cross the line and keeps what may be a secret between him and Robin.
he says no comment to them because he's really not supposed to be devulging GnR related info like that. And the fanbase has been aware of this from when it started. many years.

some of you guys complain way too much.
#20 Re: Guns N' Roses » FAKE: A clip of THYME may have leaked. » 896 weeks ago
i haven't heard it, but if you really have something that hasn't been released from GNR, I hope you will do the right thing and not leak it out.. just let the band put it out when they are ready and able. if they are really working out the final details for a release, another leak is going to do nothing but set things back.
