IneedAsockamnesty · 24/10/2012 20:30

well he should Grin

BupcakesAndHaunting · 24/10/2012 20:33

WTAF is up with Axl? He's dressed like a hobo and singing like Alvin Chipmunk when he's running low on helium.

Makinglists · 24/10/2012 20:35

I'm weeping - that's bad!!!

bureni · 24/10/2012 20:36

They should have called it a day about 15 years ago, terrible rubbish american cock rock.

jjuice · 24/10/2012 20:41

what exactly did I just watch?
These was no hotpants, no running around and no singing

You have just ruined my memories of G n R concerts 20 years ago.

goes away to cry.

Pinner35 · 24/10/2012 20:44

Ouch....not good at all.

EntWife · 24/10/2012 20:49

I couldn't actually finish watching that. in fairness though, guns and roses as we knew it hadn't existed for about 20 years since axl went bonkers in the mid 90'a and sacked everybody. since then it had been axl and whatever studio musicians he can get to work with him.

BoulevardOfBrokenSleep · 24/10/2012 20:56

Mmm. Just cause Axl kept the name doesn't mean he kept the spirit.

Chinese Democracy, anyone? No?!

Norfolkbumpkin · 24/10/2012 20:58

Hell fire, I could only bear to watch for about 30 seconds! Loved them back in my metal head days....

JethroTull · 24/10/2012 21:01

I did not know how fat Axl had got. Oh dear.

bureni · 24/10/2012 21:06

Hes been sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent Grin

gingerchick · 24/10/2012 21:09

That is clearly a voice added afterwards, a piss take but there is no GNR without Slash anyway

TiggyD · 24/10/2012 21:14

He looks like Rufus Hound.

At least Bruce still has it.

MrsKeithRichards · 24/10/2012 21:15

Sometimes it really is better when legends die young. Then they're frozen, immortal and forever amazing.

Otherwise they grow old, fat, weird or start turning themselves into national thumbs upping treasures. Yes I'm looking at you Paul.

Appetite for Destruction will always be immense.

IneedAsockamnesty · 24/10/2012 21:18

excuse me people.

thats my future husband your talking about [hgrin]

MrsKeithRichards · 24/10/2012 21:21

Of course there are some that have aged gracefully.

GhostShip · 24/10/2012 21:23

I prefer Metallica and Iron Maiden. They still have it.

I'd defo be hanging my bandana up and settling down with socknicking if I was him

Although James Hetfeild gets more and more red neck as the days go. 'HEY YERR'

I'm not going to watch that. I want my memories of G 'n' R to stay perfect.

Maybe someone will come along and offer all the original members a mahoosive pile of cash to reform one day.

sonofzod · 24/10/2012 21:58

seen them twice in the last 6 years and wasnt disapointed in either show, they might not have slash but the lineup he plays with now hes been with longer than the original lineup..

Sure the new albums not a patch on Appertite for Destruction, but name a album that is..

Thats why women should stick to Take That and Steps and leave Rock to the boys [hgrin]

PrincessPumpkinshoutsBOO · 24/10/2012 22:04

:( I don't know what you lot were watching but for some reason Ghost linked me to a really bad tribute act, therefore NOT ruining my memories of G n R from back in the day

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 24/10/2012 22:07

Axl Rose and his little chums are now the seventh best GnR tribute band in the world :(
