G'N'F'N'R'S NZ Tour

[Glacial Pace]

If I lived in Welly or Auckland then I'd go but flight + hotel+ ticket is too much for a band I've never really been into. Hope it's a good one though.

It also reminded me of the fat Axl meme that was going around for a while. This makes me chuckle.



Sorry for the shit screen grab, I couldn't find the original

[sirvill]

I'd go but I'm not in the country. Argh.

I won't even waste the bus fare, let alone price of a ticket....

[Scooter13]

I'll probably go but I'm already shuddering at the thought of the type of crowd that will be there...

[Danger Mouse]

A sea of bald spots and beer bellies, with people squeezed into leather and denim that probably looked quite good... 25 years ago.

are we going then?

[slash-ed]

Sorry I won't be able to hang out with you guys, still working on the hair loss part.

don't worry, it'll come naturally, just like the belly.

[sizzlingbadger]

Will be going, appetite is one of the best albums in the history of rock.

agreed, Appetite was the pinnacle of their career.

You need even ask?

Totally! But what an album it was.

[jeremyb]

Yep, I'd have been happy to quite and live off the royalties, stellar album, still remember being recommended it by a school mate when it came out, blew me away!

[slash-ed]

If you read any of their autobios, it sounds like most of the best songs (including the best cuts from the two filler-laden UYI albums) were written by Axl back in the early days when he was hungry and not a complete egomaniac yet. Probably a good thing that they imploded after a couple of albums instead of churning out increasingly shit ones for a few decades.*

*Ref: Chinese Democracy

[Scooter13]

I really liked Chinese Democracy. But it wasn't Guns and Roses, and it wasn't 10 or whatever years in production good. If it had been made as an axl solo album in 1 year, then solid bloody album.

[werdna]

Scooter, I am with you on Chinese Democracy. There is a lot of quality there.

Also, the UYI albums were more arty than we had any right to expect from such an unpretentious band like GnR. Of course there is the sleaze and dirt, thank you very much.
