The two problems (maybe) here are that we have no idea how motivated the red head really is in creating music. And maybe he and Slash/Duff just can't write/record together (without Izzy) like the old days. Slash obviously works on a different wavelength than Axl and maybe those differences can't/won't ever be resolved to where they can write and record normally as a band anymore.
IMO he's the Billy Joel of the 21st century but unlike Joel, he's not willing to release a statement saying he's creatively spent, the muse is gone, etc.
Other than a handful of studio sessions late 90s-mid 00s, he's a touring nostalgia act.
What makes this situation so unusual in comparison to other nostalgia artists/bands is the fact he/they have a hardcore base that fantasy books all sorts of scenarios that look like a U2 level comeback.
Of course reality always sets in which creates contempt and the fact they have a management team that has difficulty walking and chewing gum, it remains static to where it's like we're orbiting the event horizon of a black hole.
Luckily.... it's starting to look like something is happening....the second half of Chinese with Fink, Bucket, Ron, and Pitman gone and featuring Slash and Duff.
I’m still hoping, but the argument remains - why release an album when the EP’s not even been released yet? :
Because management has zero experience at this. There's a learning curve....
Very interesting takes here...at the risk of once again reading too far into things, I'll reference something I read Axl said once. He said something about how his break up with Slash harmed him creatively as an artist. A band truly is a marriage I guess...
I guess I always hoped that getting back together would ameliorate that stunted growth...it didn't.
Creativity is a funny thing...it's far more fragile than I ever realized.

At least one good outcome from this whole farce is that everybody are now scared to death of innocent diseases or socially shamed to wash their hands in Stoli ten times a day. Life will become less infectious going forward.
Now that tyrannical measures are in vogue I suggest we punish people who are too careless to stay healthy. Get the doctor in and form an opinion. Out running in freezing weather because you're an idiot? You live at McDonald's? Here take this fine. That just seems a lot more appropriate than demanding people take shots made for profit from heartless corporations, approved by trustworthy politicians.
The personal choice crowd will have a problem with all of it. They want a situation where they can do whatever they want and never suffer the consequences. That's freedom to most people. The 'I can do whatever I want' and 'I don't want insurance' and 'don't deny me when I show up at the emergency room' crowd.
One of the real travesties about Obamacare was that it was sabotaged by these people. People who demand healthcare as a right but refuse to put into the system. I remember reading stories about people who purchased insurance just long enough to get their big operation and then stopped paying their premiums when they were healing up.
You can be upset about health insurance companies and rising costs...but these are the types of people that are fucking everyone over. This is coming from someone who pays around $1,500/month for his family's health insurance.

I am getting quite interested in the ulterior motives of Sinema. I pretty much have Manchin pegged as an oil loving Democrat and I understand why West Virginia might be well represented because of that...
However, Sinema has been dodgy about what her motives are in these negotiations. It seems like she moves the goal posts a lot and doesn't really have a clear picture of what she wants.
I assure you her base will not vote her back in if she continues down this path. I remember when Jesse Ventura basically turned on all the young people that voted him in and by the end of his term he didn't even run for a second term. Of course, he'll tell you it's because 'he did what he came to do,' but the real reason is that every chance he got, he fucked over the people who voted him in. There was no chance he would ever win again and he knew it.

I just saw this amazing Netflix special. I personally think Chapelle is a genius. What an interesting comparison he makes...and it is becoming increasingly obvious to me that, while the trans community deserved to feel safe in our communities, they have become just as violent and hateful as they people that they claim are attacking them.
I do not believe it is a mental disorder and I don't believe they should be chastised and discriminated against. I do believe that their lack of consideration for anyone else might be the biggest problem.
This country is riddled with hateful bigots and too many people deny this...also, this country is riddled with hateful bigots and the trans community is on the way to joining these groups.

Hey guys...new rule...Jan 6 didn't happen.
Krysten Simena and Joe Manchin think they're being patriots...nope, they're keeping us stuck in the past. Mavericks that will get Trump back into office and they'll both be replaced with Trump sychophants....Manchin will get replaced by a Trump supporter eventually and Sinema will not get re-elected as she continues to alienate the people that voted her in....
wow....what heroes....
You have a lot of lovers of centrists in here....they're being purged by Trump...oh well...I guess your words are meaningless...

What bothers me on a basic level is the whole inheritance tax. All that money has been taxed already. If I want to leave it to my family, isn’t that my business? I get the generational wealth aspect but something seems wrong about it. Also the move to tax current value of your home and do away with step up basis for people that inherit it.
I used to be anti automation. But the way our lazy ass work force is refusing to work, FUCK THEM. Bring on the machines and cut off the cunts from the nipple. We have 11,000,000 fucking job openings and people sitting on their fucking ass.
your job will be the first to be replaced...

The future is a small elite with a robot work force. The rest will be forced on the government tit, get subsistence level assistance, be guinea pigs for big pharma and live in squalor.
Good...this country has become a shit stain on single ply toilet paper.

Dude, he reads headlines and nothing more. This is example 1001. He saw a headline about Bill Maher shit talking on Trump, recognized SG often posts clips from Maher’s show, and thought he could get a dig in. The true irony is the same episode Mitch is citing, the clip and episode he never watched, Maher said Democrats are tanking and going to lose in 2022 cause of the woke/progressive (Mitch) crowd. You can’t make this kind of unawareness up.
I believe Democrats are tanking…they’re not getting shit done.
But you still voted for Trump. And you’re shrugging at all sorts of shit all the time.

When you made Bill synonymous with progressive fantasy you completely lost me.
