There's the picture we've been waiting for!

It's really cool seeing that it was just Slash and Duff there. I can tell they really hated the idea of Axl in AC/DC. Look at them, flying to London and smiling all for Axl. Clearly they're filled with rage!

I will admit, I was in the camp that had a deep seeded question about Axl's motive for Axl/DC, but this pic wipes that all out for me. Let's fuckin go boys!

I'm gonna fire up some Ice Cube "Today Was a Good Day" later on! :lol:

I was kinda the same a few weeks ago but this week has blown any doubts away. Axl talking about wanting to release new GNR albums and talking away about Slash and Duff at that interview then this picture. I've a good feeling about the next few years for GNR :headbang:

Maybe, just maybe that's it. 

I said no way are Duff & Slash all the fuckin way over in London just to see Axl/DC. Has to be a tour announcement or something...

Looks like they just went over to hang out & check it out. Man, that's just incredible and awesome if so. Makes me wanna call my buddy I've had a similar feud with for a few years... Well, nah. But still!!!

20 years of waiting and 6 months ago Axl & Slash announces a reunion, no-one ever thought would happen.

While doing a huge & unique mysterious marketing campaign never done before -> People are furious about them not doing interviews & telling people what's happening like some MTV Pop Star

Axl does an interview and says he's done some new material -> People still are mad because there's no new material YET just after 6 months of the announcement

Axl joins his favourite band to sing, while there's no plans for GNR during this time, and pulls it off like a magician, while every over Guns member have projects of their own, always had -> Axl's now betraying Guns'n'roses

Guns'n'roses almost sells out most of the stadium gigs they have, and keeps silence for a couple of months -> They've not generated ENOUGH hype

How much faster you guys want things to happen? All of this that has already happened beats all the odds of what man could ever imagine. I sincerely hope that Guns keep doing things as secret and as mysterious as they've done so far, it's fucking awesome and reminds me of the old Guns - always unpredictable and mysterious. 

What comes to the marketing, interviews, public appearance etc. - you have to be really god damn blind not see that they know EXACTLY what they are doing. No band generates this much rumors and questions, without it's being a part of a business plan and it's all been planned this way months and months ago. If Axl gives interviews & take promotional pictures with AC/DC, that's completely another plan, and doesn't make Axl a douche towards Guns fans in any kind of way. Guns plan obviously is to stay silent, and generate questions and rumours, like a rock'n'roll band of their kind should. In my opinion Axl has done an amazing 'come back' to public - being all mysterious with Guns (even though answering questions about them, which already is surprising), being all mr. Nice Guy with AC/DC as he is expected to, and most of all - totally killing it in the shows with both Guns and AC/DC, and according to youtube, he just keep getting better and more consistent all the time. And if they post a dull picture of wires on Facebook, it's only because they WANT us to go "oh what the fuck, wires, what does this means oh fuck this is so stupid". It's Guns, not Nickelback. 

I hope they take time to write stuff PROPERLY, 'cause the fact is that their getting old, and they've probably done their best writing already in the past, so they really gotta nail it this time if they are going to release anything at all. It takes tremendous fucking balls to write anything even remotely as good as they've already done. Any idea how hard it was to write Chinese Democracy? You actually might have if you've followed the process via media. Any idea how hard it might be to write a follow-up to that, that could actually fulfill fans expectations? In this point it does not even really help the pressure to have Slash & Duff on board, 'cause the our expectations skyrocketed after their come back. No-ones gonna settle to a mediocre Guns-track at this point.

Guns/Axl have already listened to the fans in terms of bringing Slash & Duff back, playing shows, playing Coma, doing a huge tour instead of a few shows, not being late, not cancelling anything important, writing new material (as Axl said in China Exchange), promising an interview with Trunk (which is already a rare thing, if it happens), and most of all - Axl's gotten his voice in the best shape he probably can at his age, and clearly not just grabbing our money but putting some huge effort on this. They've already generated much more hype and they've done much more stuff for the fans that no-one could ever imagine 10 years back. Everything that happens on top of all this is a huge plus.

Izzy said he's not involved atm, and didn't wanna share the reasons why. That's it. Sorum said he's not asked to join. That's it. Adler's rumored by many multiple sources to make an appearance. That's it. It's not really wise spending time to speculate these things, and if they are not up to sharing why or when or how, that's up to them and/or Axl. Guns already beat the odds by bringing Slash back, more than we could ever expect to happen. If you don't wanna listen to Guns without Izzy and/or Steven at this point, then don't, that should be nothing new to you, as they've not played in the band for decades. If you think it's annoying for them to bring a couple of members back without bringing them all in, I got a tip for you: stop whining. Whining didn't bring Slash & Duff back, and it sure-as-hell won't bring the other two back. Again: there are reasons beyond our control. You can cross your fingers, buy tickets and enjoy the ride, or go back to what you've been used to: don't listen to Guns without the Appetite-five. Both options should be equally familiar with all of the Guns fans for the past two decades, so you will no doubt adapt easily. 

And one more thing - talks about Axl 'wasting his time' with AC/DC while he could be writing and/or rehearsing Guns songs - what makes you think it would make a drastic difference to Guns if he would've spent these couple of months doing Guns? He has had years and years of writing that material - what could change in a couple of months about that? He has had years and years of singing & playing Guns stuff, what would make a huge difference in these couple of months? The reality is that he is ACTUALLY doing something we can proof and enjoy - singing. In public. With a rock'n'roll band. There's nothing cooler & better he could've done spending his time right now. And what comes to the allegation of him 'losing his voice' with AC/DC - come on. Just come the fuck on. It was already a ridiculous allegation because of the fact (we all know) that he has always gone better and better when the tour goes on. This time he destroyed it in Vegas, he killed in Lisbon and most of all, he was superb in Manchester yesterday. Look at the facts, he's in the best shape of his late-career and he's working with the best vocal coach money could buy. I think they would know if this would be too much for his voice. They are professionals, and by looking every single fact we have at this point, they are doing a hell-of-a job keeping Axl's voice fit at the moment. If you think that Axl's comments about having a good time with AC/DC kills the hype for you for GNR and that he doesn't care about GNR anymore, that's a pretty twisted perspective 2 months after announcing a stadium tour, when there's been a 20 years wait (and no hope) for anything remotely as exciting as this. And about Slash & Duff promoting this meanwhile… Would it really make difference after putting up huge billboards all over US and doing this well-planned super mysterious Old-Guns-like marketing campaign that Slash would update Facebook every now and then saying "yeaahh guns tour coming get ready fuckers buy tickets yeah"? 

THE POINT - I know I'm new here, but I am already bored how fe. this thread is turning out. I wanna see some social media updates while clicking this topic, so please can we post some social media updates and stop whining about things beyond our control. 

PS. So what if Axl doesn't like a fat pic of him and/or meme it generated? He has done way more obscene things in the past, so I think this is way less dramatic of what to expect from him. 

welcome to the forum! I am chiming in with the others that your first post is indeed very good :) I look forward to reading more of your posts :)
