#511 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl doesnt consider CD a guns n roses album anymore » 213 weeks ago
That at some point he always wanted Slash to return and work on the CD tracks.
In some aspect, this desire may have played a role...even if only minor...in the project's delays... especially in 2004-5 when Bucket bailed and the near reunion a year later.
I think it played a role in the follow-up not happening during the Ashba years. Why waste your good material on that nonsense?
Save it for a rainy day.
Other than the forum chats where he mentioned some song titles, he never really commented on a second album between 2009 and 2014.
Coincidence? I doubt it.
He knew what was coming. Five years ago that former tour manager said Axl told him in 2011-12 that a reunion was going to happen but he wasn't ready yet. Also that recent post where someone mentioned that Slash interview back then where he said Axl wanted to work Chinese a bit more.
Yeah....Van Halen ignored the Cherone mistake...and ignored the Hagar years too!
They also released a reunion album consisting of many old reworked demos.
GNR are in a position where they can easily ignore it...so they will.
Joe and Jill Public know nothing about the ins and outs of the saga...and they don't want to know. They just want to go to a show, rock out to Jungle, and maybe buy the first Guns N Roses record in nearly 30 years.
What a travesty...so we're back in 1993 now about to finally get into 1994. Woooowee that was a long year.
I guess they really have no alternative but jeeeesus.....Anyway...here's to 1994 everyone. Some crazy shit happens in 1994 but I don't wanna ruin it for you. I will let you all know that OJ is not the guy you think he is and also there's a company that's going to be created soon called Amazon...get in on that shit.
Also 1994 might've been a hard year puberty wise for some of us.

The only juvenile thing said in this thread is your post about balls.
I realize some of these discussions can get a tad heated...an understatement....but sometimes you need to let it go and not take it so personally.
An example...
Recently.. don't remember when...Flagg replied to you in a post. It wasn't mean, mocking,etc. The next time you replied to him, it was to get a dig in and start the bickering again.
Why not use an opening like that to hit the reset button and ease the tension?
No one is innocent in this....I'm just using this as an example.
Just because people disagree and have a lengthy history arguing doesn't mean it always has to be like this.
I mean...we can't have a discussion about Afghanistan without being labeled teenage girls?
Really?
Just be consistent in your analysis here James'...if you think my post was out of line, ok I accept that and I'll tone it down. BUT...you had one poster in this thread call Kamala a pussy and another calling Biden a coward. I'm not the only one who escalates.
And you took that personally? How many times have you insulted Trump? I think everyone here insults politicians.
I know you don't always escalate...how about trying to deescalate for a change?
Also....
Not everything is an insult. This is a quirky cast of characters who've known one another a third of our lives. Like ID's post about Biden's statement being a Mitch response. Instead of steaming your bean, you should've laughed.
Sometimes if something is a dig, take it in stride. It might just be a witty comeback.
Like when Flagg and I would go a few rounds from time to time and he'd say something like "even those whose grandpas served in WWII".
Obviously that's directed at me...subtle yet direct. Half the time I would laugh...he usually had perfect timing with it and he usually was making a good point before or after the dig.
If I got pissed every time something like that was said, we'd be shitting up all these discussions going back and forth over it.
Like Michael says on that episode of Newhart....
Forget about it....Let it go....Try smiling!
I've had a few blowups with people here and in some cases, went a little too far. You get over it and move past it.
I didn't necessarily take it personally, I'm just saying there were some childish responses other than mine. However, point taken. If I'm being honest, it does seem like people are really taking shots at me. Maybe I'm interpreting this all wrong.

you're losing your shit dude...no accountably for anyone but Biden. Pathetic...no one over the course of the last 20 years deserves any blame...the fact that after 20 years Afghanis couldn't get their shit together...
Either way...shit went down in Syria that didn't bother you. This bothers you...really strange...
Who is saying that?
Everyone here knows who invaded Afghanistan, who kept it going, and who is wrapping it up.
Not a single person on Earth is saying Biden did everything.
He is to blame for the current cluster fuck and how the crisis continues to spiral out of control.
While it's not relevant to what's happening now, he helped construct the Patriot Act and helped the Bush administration sell both wars to the rest of Congress, the media, and the American people.
You can't fantasy book/retcon Biden as this doe eyed innocent dove who was shell shocked by events and it all came out of left field.
That dog won't hunt.
Speaking of Syria, were you giving Trump the benefit of the doubt and blaming his predicament on Obama? If not, why?
Not doe eyed...and for those who thought Biden was a pussy I would think this would be evidence of the opposite...
This was the inevitable result of a failed investment. An investment that only looked good until you stopped investing in it.
I'll never give Trump the benefit of the doubt on anything. I brought it up only as a point of reference for those who feel the need to turn into teenage girls. Syria was a disaster....Afghanistan is about to be a disaster/is a disaster.
One lesson we refuse to learn as Americans is what the terrorists tried to tell us on 9/11...The United States of America has made a few mistakes along the way.

Yeah....he's in over his head and like Flagg pointed out, his advisers/cabinet aren't handling it any better.
It's a tad reminiscent of Clinton's first two years in office when Aspen and Christopher were minding the store.
Maybe worse.
Anyways...
I do partially blame the civilians. We're trying to get out....and they're in our way.
I know they're scared....it's chaos....the unknown...but the focus has ever on getting the Americans and Europeans our of there.
I'm with Flagg regarding civilians/refugees. Leave em.... it's over.
Any people who gave legit intel to our forces over the years....give em a golden ticket.
I might make exceptions for people such as those girls who work on robotics/AI that social media is having conniption fits over.
That's it.
You can't save everyone. What makes one person better than any other?
This is why we need a Reagan or Kennedy....hell even a Bush.
Tough decisions have to be made soon.
No sob stories...no hard luck stories....no pity parties.... we're leaving period.
If you make things worse as we get closer to wrapping up evacuation and it becomes similar to Mogadishu, the gloves come off and special forces take care of business to get em out of there.
ID pointed out the gender and racial stuff we were funding there. The Fonz himself couldn't jump a shark any higher than that.
It was a sign we don't even know what we're doing there. I don't think they give the tiniest of shots what nonbinary is...and if they did...they got bigger fish to fry.
I have a question....
While we can do whtthe fuck we want, at what point does it become 'legal' to shoot unarmed civilians?
Example....
There's only a few planes left and it's obvious no more are coming. Mass panic happens and 50k or so civilians flood the airport to the point nothing can move.
What do you do?
I'm gonna guess the longer it was delayed the better al-qaeda would be prepared to take advantage. What a horrible set of images...but this was all done with such cohesion that it's pretty obvious how prepared they were for this moment.
think of the opportunity for revenge...to humiliate Obama's VP who is now P for killing Osama. Man did this stars align for them.
I'm not sure who is in charge anymore over in the eastern hemisphere. I think the Afghans had a lot to gain by continually pitting us against each other...to prolong the conflict...to play both sides for as long as they could.
Anyway...what a sad series of events.

He actually blamed Trump. These are progressive Twitter talking points.
This is a lie, the option was not going back to a 20 year war, this is about his failure to create an exit plan.
No...it's not...Afghanistan has been a shit show for 20 years. This is how it was always going to end.
This is about ending and endless war and I'm good with it. I just wish there was a better plan for refugees but after 20 years if you still don't care enough to fight for your own country...wtf are we supposed to do?
