For the 20th anniversary of RAW last night was fucking awful. Flat out terrible show for celebrating 20 years of RAW. Extremely dissapointing.

#233 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty » 705 weeks ago

I get that but let's be real. Axl Rose isn't Britney Spears. His career has never been based on his looks. I understand the pressure to look good, I don't understand the pressures to hack your face up. Especially when aging as a male in a  rock band isn't unnacceptable. Maybe aging as a pop princess is but not a guy in a rock band.

Megan Fox is a great example Monkey.  She was pretty before now she looks fake. I think recently the best example is Lindsay Lohan. She was a very pretty girl in her Mean Girls days in my opinion. She looked like a girl next door. Then she got all cracked out or something but that isn't why she looks weird now. She ruined her face with plastic surgery. What the fuck for she looked fine.

I think it's sad. I don't get it. I just don't. Esecially when you look at how bad it looks as these people age. Jennifer Aniston is a perfect example in my opinion of a  female allowing herself to age naturally. That or she has a phenomenal plastc surgeon. But you can tell she's aged but she looks natural and it looks good. Courtney Cox on the other hand looks plastic.

I also like the fact that someone like Kate Hudson has never had a boob job.

Anyways plastic surgery for vanity sake is the weirdest thing in my opinion. Nothing like fucking yourself right up for no good reason. 

getting way off topic here but whatever. the biggest news in months is that Axl was at a party. Holy fucking shit haha.

All I know is someone must severly suffer from a lack of self confidence and self image to have plastic surgery done to their face when they look perfectly fine to begin with.  Seeing how goofey the results look years down the road has got to really eat at a persons soul. I mean when you look at Axl you KNOW he's had work done and it looks bad. His eyebrows are aweful. His eyes bug out of his head. the guy just has an overall weird look ever since he had cosmetic surgery.

The first time I saw this I was shocked. he looked so weird to me.

In the still photos maybe but he seems perfectly fine in the video where they are talking to him

I don't really care about this stuff but yeah he looks ridiculous. His look is the epitomy of a geriatirc rock star. It looks sad. The hat NEEDS to go. The long jacket is just stupid, the scarf is try hard, the cane reaks of someone doing a  parody of a pimp. The excessive jewelry is tacky and the older he gets the more weird the plastic surgery looks. Really unfortunate.

Like Axlin said: bandana, jeans, t-shirt, boots and he's good to go.

But seriously the fucking hat is the worst. It's gotta go and if it means a haircut is in order so be it.

I think Guns N' Roses were just too damn popular at the time.  I also think as lame as the lyrics are  Axl did manage to explain them even if his explanation was ridiculous.  becaue it doesn't justify the lyrics. Thing is you had the biggest rock band on the planet with arguably the best frontman and guitarist of all time in the same band. A few lyrics weren't gonna derail them.

the sad part about all of it I think is that OIAM is one of their very best songs and in my opinion one of Slash's best solos and it IS Axl's best vocal performance. had Axl pulled his head out of his ass and wrote some proper lyrics the song coudl've beena  big hit on radio and would likely be a classic rock main stay today. he didn't even need to chaneg the message of the song all he had to do was word it better.  Still one of their best songs too bad it borders on hate speech

I mean what is it you guys actually think? Axl's just really lazy? Really stupid?.

This ^ As well as not as talented anymore as people want to believe. I know that's hard for people to even begin to admit but face facts. For a so called musical genius he's done fuck all the last 20 years.  Also I've never believed Axl is as smart as people like to suggest. he's a psuedo intellect.  He thinks he's smart, he talks big, uses big words but at the end of the day he's not that bright.  A bright person could've been put in the exact same position this guy was in in 1998 and done way more than Axl has just by doing simple common sense things but Axl can't even do that.

Yes but U2 and Pearl Jam are the real bands.

They're the original guys playing new songs.

Are you guys seriously telling me you think Axl could tour with his new GNR line up and play an all experimental instrumental set or some other daft punk type shit and it would sell just as well as the vegas setlist?

Reality is it's not the real GNR to most people. But most people go to see Axl cos he was in the real GNR, and surely those people want him to play GNR songs not read like spoken word or some shit.

I mean I'd love the modern line up to release 3 or 4 albums and tour those...but I think the public wants things as close to old GNR as possible...and in the lack of a reunion then the next best thing is surely at least an AFD setlist....

Why do you make it out to be like Axl has some fucked up shit that is so off the wall he could never toss in a new song or two?  Axl could've done whatever the hell he wanted to especially back in 2001 when his band looked like a bunch of alien misfits but he chose instead to turn himself into a nostalgia act. Axl can still do anything he wants. leave the fucking ego at the door play smaller venues like they have been and debut this material that is so out there. he's not with the REAL Guns N' Roses so all the more reason to spread his wings but nope he clings to the past.  Stop acting like all Axl has cooked up is just too out there for his Guns N' Roses. Gn'R can be anything Axl wants it to be. It's his fucking band. he wanted it this way so he should play whatever he wants and move it forward regardless of the direction. Axl Rose pandering to fans because if he doesn't he won't make as much money? Hmmmm....  Maybe you're right and if you are Axl is the biggest pussy sell out in the history of music. Fucking chicken shit who lives off the material written by guys who he doesn't want to be involved with and would rather them just as well be forgotten. A chicken shit loser who says he wants to move forward and leave the past in the past only to go out there each and every night and do nothing but live in the past and remind everyone who's not in his band. If all he's got is spoken word than release the stuff. Perform it live. Who cares. We've all acknowledged it's not the real Guns N' roses anyways.  Play some old hits, play some CD suff, toss in this crazy ass werd shit thats too far removed from Guns and be a creative artist. Or play the old songs and make $$$$$$$$$ and that's it

It's pretty obvious what he CHOSE to do and it has nothing to do with the alledged material being too out there for Guns N' Roses. Axl Rose is all talk. Tells everyone he wants to move forward all the while pouring cement around his feet.

This is an excuse and 100% false. Cornell has destroyed this "theory" TWICE.....with Audioslave and the SG reunion. If you don't shove nostalgia down the throats of your audience, they don't expect nostalgia.

Ummmm... U2 prove ths theory wrong every time they release an album. Half their 360 tour set list consistently consisted of songs released since the turn of the century.  Also on the second leg of that tour U2 was rotating new unreleased songs in and out of the setlist. I mean my god I heard 6 unreleased songs on U2's last tour,  some nights they played 2 or 3 unreleased songs. James is right. If you don't shove nostalgia down people's throats they won't expect it.

Pearl Jam is another big band with tons of hits that prove this theory wrong on a  nightly basis.

The last person you would have ever thought who'd be satisfied with being a  geriatric nostalgia act who's setlist is more predictable than the sun rising in the east and setting in the west was Axl Rose.

I can't believe that people actually hold out hope that this guy is going to do anything remotely interesting ever again.

I mean holy shit Justin Timberlake hasn't put an album out in almost 8 years an he's making a  comeback with new material this year and people are excited about it. It's hilarious that a guy who all but stopped doing music can take 8 years off and still be more productive an relevant  than Axl. Axl Rose is the biggest joke in music because he insists on touring the old hits with  cover band. Arguing it ll you want people but this band is nothing more than that.

Not only is Axl Rose one of the biggest wastes of musical talent ever he's also wasted one of the most talented group of musicians to ever play together. THREE times(87-93, 2000-2002, 2008-2013)

I don't get what people are holding onto with Axl anymore. he's the epitmony of washed up. sad but true.
