#71 Guns N' Roses » Which was worse: 1995-1999 or 2002-2006? » 167 weeks ago

Which of the two major periods of silence would you say was worse:
The period from 1995 til when OMG dropped in late 1999?
Or the period from the cancellation of the Chi Dem tour in December 2002 to the massive leaks of February 2006?
Both were roughly 3/4 years of mostly nothingness except rumor and innuendo, but which was worse in your opinion?

Ultimately it is Axl’s show and has been Axl’s show since the early 90s.
If Axl really didn’t approve of Caram’s work it simply wouldn’t have made the final cut and Caram wouldn’t still be involved.
The fact that Caram is still involved almost 20 years later speaks to that Axl is fine with his mixing.

It’s a discord thing and was actually never confirmed. Bill Brasky saying something repearedly doesn’t make it true. Even on your own forum, Broski openly said he didn’t think so.
There has never been any confirmation because you cannot confirm things that never happened.
As to “kill any community…” I have been in the GNR community for 20 years and the only community I have been accused of destroying was GNFNR.
But even then, I have screenshots where JB (the founder, owner of GNFNR) said he felt that Brasky, Black Frog and co were conspiring as a unit to take over his forum.
He banned Brasky, and you (Dadud) unbanned him because you had admin control, and he then nuked the forum as he felt you undermined his authority.
As far as John Bonham was concerned, his reasons for nuking the forum were Brasky, Black Frog and one other conspirator. These thoughts came from him alone without help from me. He said he was “under attack” by said parties
There is no coup without a scapegoat, and you’ve made one of me. Which is great for your regime over there, you’ve painted me as a terrible person, but to come to this site just to harass me is bs.
The fact is I have been a registered member of this community for a year and a half without incident. GNFNR was a toxic place and I should never have joined it
Note also that JB has said that this campaign of demonization of me was a “coordinated stunt” to “manipulate” me and “mess with me”
JB:“no one believes ‘JB nuked the forum because Miser’”
“I think the ending of the joke is to provoke you into doing something stupid”
Why have you never started your own GNR forum?
Mainly because I know literally nothing about programming, I wouldn’t know the first thing about how to set it up as such. Also, never had anyone who’d be interested in running one with me.

I think about the lyrics of “Limelight” and while as a fan I would enjoy some GNR photoshoots — they capture a moment in time — I also understand why it seems like a hassle.
The skull/pistols/roses iconography seems to be enough for Axl. Although God knows it has been done to death.
The only issue I have with the skull/pistols/roses stuff is that its only representative of 87-88. Yeah there was a bit of new stuff for Illusions but it always takes you back to the 80s.
It's also lazy. Just throw up something to remind everyone of the classic era and you're good to go! No artistic creativity needed whatsoever.
This is the peak of that era IMO....

The logo used to kickstart the Illusions era.
They wouldn't use this during the CD years... probably because it's clearly Slash. IMO they should've went with it anyways because the rest of it is reminiscent of Slash as well.
I love the AFD era as much as anyone else, but the UYI stuff to me is less dated. The skulls etc just make them look like an older hair band…Which Axl wanted them not to be.

As far as I can gather , this was Axl’s last official photo shoot of the 90s

Remember that old Tommy interview where he mentioned that there were enough songs in the vault for one more album and the rest was unfinished sketches?
That's what we're going to get in 2022 and beyond. I guarantee it's the exact same songs he was talking about 10+ years ago.
It doesn't bother me anymore...it was all we were ever going to get and we'll be damn lucky to even get it.
I'll throw my vote in for either Atlas or Perhaps.... although OMG would not surprise me.
Do you have any preference between those three?
Asking because I myself am not the biggest fan of Atlas or Perhaps. Perhaps is okay, but Atlas to me is pretty average. It sounds like a lot of late 90s/early 00s post grunge sounds to me.

THIS.
It all looks so insanely juvenile in hindsight and shows the complete lack of maturity and professionalism in both sides.
A huge sore spot and where it will get uncomfortable is if/when a journalist will broach the subject of the potential near reunions of 2000-01(the brief attempt to bring Izzy back before Rio, Slash showing up at HOB but being turned away at the door) and the shit going down behind the scenes in 2005 that should've led to the reunion...and according to Halfin and Weiland, it was ready to go.
It was all such a huge waste of time and there's nothing concrete to justify the 20 years flushed down the toilet.
I can see why they choose to avoid it.
but couldn’t they sit down with a journalist with pre selected questions if anything?
Yes and there's a precedent for it....
Del James
It would still be awkward.
Having said all this, they know that the casual audiences of the 2020s don't really care about any of it...so it's easy to avoid. Only hardcores, journalists, and maybe historians are interested in what went down.
To your last paragraph: I think the whole thing is interesting. We’ve never gotten a 100% coherent reasoning as to why it really happened. A lot of contradictory reasons have been given: “musical differences” “lack of mutual respect” “Paul Huge” etc
Also, as to when everything went down, that’s quite contradictory too
And Axl has implied his silence and retreat from the public eye from 94 to 00 was sort of done under pressure or that he was convinced to “pull back” rather than it being a completely voluntary. That’s a bit interesting as I wonder what he exactly meant by it.

We’ve had an Axl / Duff interview
The last time Axl and Slash sat down for a joint interview was January 3rd 1994.
I understand one might say “because they don’t wanna answer certain questions” but couldn’t they sit down with a journalist with pre selected questions if anything?
#79 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will the next single be something we've heard already? » 169 weeks ago
Definitely something from the Village tracks or OmG
