Members Reauchambeau Posted April 12, 2012 Members Share Posted April 12, 2012 Axl was the only unique thing about GnR, they were just another glam bar band without him. in his prime Axl was one of the best for that style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members satannica Posted April 12, 2012 Members Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well, like it or not, here's the facts: - I'm with Axl on this one. I'm not usually, but on this he's right. There's no fair way out of this, either way he's an asshole. He either trots out the classic line up for this induction, he trots out the current lineup for this induction, or he says, {censored} it, not happening, none of it is fair on anyone. There's no response he can give that doesn't mean he's an asshole to the world, so what can he do about it?- Guns N Roses broke up in 1993 or so... that's 20 years... get over it! It's not coming back, just deal with it.- Axl's done more with a musical career than anyone on this forum. And for what it's worth, GnR meant a lot to people at the time. So deal with it.- Being an asshole was all part of the rock 'n roll image in the 90s! It's what people read open-mouthed in newspapers and rock magazines. GnR, especially Axl, made headlines. You can't blame him for taking some of that diva'ishness to heart, it's just what the world expects of him. - I didn't think Chinese Democracy was especially bad, and the current GnR lineup put on a way better show than Slash's {censored}-awful band!

Members satannica Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 This one sounds pretty good Why? Guns n Roses hasn't been anything to do with Duff, Izzy, Slash, Matt Sorum or Steven Adler for 20 years! Guns 'n Roses has its present lineup and that's it. This is GnR right now, whether you like it or not. If he trotted out the classic line up (as if Axl is the only person who controls that in the world!), he's effectively saying {censored} you to the present line up, {censored} you to any endeavours that Slash et al are presently up to and, moreover, he'd just get loads of {censored} from people like you who are claiming "He just did it for a quick buck, {censored} AXL". Really, he can't win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band is being inducted into the Hall of Fame for things they did 20 years ago. I have no idea how you reckon that playing a show at the Hall of Fame with the founding lineup of the band somehow constitutes saying "{censored} you" to the current lineup at all - I sincerely doubt Ron Thal or DJ Ashba believe they deserve a place in the Rock Hall of Fame. That kind of logic only even makes sense if you're a delusional egomaniac like Axl Rose is. I'm pretty sure the current members of the band are well aware that with the possible exception of Tommy Stinson, they're all just irrelevant, interchangable hired guns that have never independently accomplish much of anything. Besides, there's literally no reason to believe that anyone other than Axl is opposed to the original lineup playing given that Duff, Izzy and Steven all have claimed at least some interest in doing so.

Actually, Izzy has told earlier that he won't be attending, could also be one reason why Axl decided not to go, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR gave us 2 great albums, and thats it. appitite, and the good material from both use your illusions can fit on 1 record. only 4 records of original material (were talking "classic line up gnr"), in 8-10 years. why are they held to such legendary status in rock history?

Cry if you want, but Axl's vocal was a large part of Guns 'N Roses' sound! His signature scowl was what made GnR's sound. In every band, the focal point is the lead man. Axl was one of the best lead men in the history of Rock n Roll. When Slash performs tracks like Nightrain and Jungle, there's no alternative but to compare/contrast Myles to Axl. And, IMO, Axl puts a lot more energy vocally into those songs even now than Myles. I'm not trying to say that Myles is terrible, but it's only natural to compare. And seeing GnR about 2 years ago, performance-wise they were spot on. The few times I've seen Slash play, well... hit and miss IMO. Some good moments, but certainly no cigar. There have been plenty of times I've seen Slash soloing in recent years and thought "This guy is meant to be a guitar icon?" the other times he's been spot on the ball! I don't think there's any doubt that GnR deserve their place, but what I'm trying to say is that Axl was in a no-win here. And no, it's not Axl's choice wholly. ANY sort of classic reunion of any kind would involve labels, lawyers, old contractees and promotional people worming their way into any sort of extra buck going. It's not just a simple case of Axl saying "Aww, shucks guys... let's get it together one last time". And even if he could, why should he? Sure he's a grade-a prick, but GnR is what it is now. Not what it was 20 years ago. I was a massive fan in 1992... just let go of the past, yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I always kind of wondered that too... prior to knowing anything about them I assumed they had released like 35 platinum albums to gain the legendary status that follows them around:idk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
