Lmao, Axl should just change the band name to Axl Rose & Company... or just go by Axl Rose.

nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares.........if the tour even gets off it will be cancelled after like 2 weeks anyway when Axl gets sand in his vagina, or for some other stupid reason like always. And why are they showing a band photo from '87 with the article?

Yeah, and this is one of the reasons I don't care to update photos that much. This photo is the real GNR. I don't care to update this one photo 912312 times in the next 5 years.

A G N' R photo should be easy "deathbringer": Axl's photo with a bunch of blank photos with "?". Since the "band" (if you can call it that) is ever changing. I really don't think anybody is holding their breath for this album. I'm not!

Let's face facts: The only GnR album that's actually worth a listen is Appetite for Destruction. *Everything* GnR did after that was sold to people who hoped beyond hope that they could reproduce the magic of that album again. If File-sharing was as big back in the day as it is now, Use Your Illusion 2 would hardly have sold a single copy. If dreary c***-rock from the mind of a mild psychopath is your idea of cool music, then good luck to you! For the rest of us, there's Cynic, like Hardcore in Hell Paso said.

He should have just kept buckethead. Then I might be tempted to even listen to this new compilation. But without buckethead, Guns N' Guests is just another "Van Halen Reunite" tour.

I can't actually imagine a tour bein organised for Axl's band because I just refuse to call it G&R anymore - Axl wud just act like a little b**** to his touring buddies I reckon - that's if he didn't completely change the rota for touring whenever it takes his fancy.

if i was a up and coming band there would be no way in hell that i would go on tour with them. you wouldnt even know if the tour would be on day to day lol.

guns and roses is just a joke any more in the music world, and their legacy will always be downplayed because of the last 14 years, wich i think sucks.

Imagine how many solo cd's you'll find in the cut out bin with this tag: "So and So, formerly of Guns and Roses".
I think at this point, they should change their name to "The Axl Rose Experiment".
