I thought this was a forum for fans of BM & Shannon, remembering BM & Shannon, Not GnR. Just because Shannon & whats his name are both from Indiana, who gives a F@#k, there are alot of other talented people from Indiana such as Mike Kelsey but no-one ever mentions him. I understand everyone has favorites but this ego-testicle piece of crap known as AXL doesn't even deserve to be talked about or given air time on t.v. Even when he had a chance to come back, his tour was cancelled, and he was on that music awards show, huffing -puffing his out-of-shape ass all over the stage( smoke another pack fags why don't you), and then his way over due album Chinese Democracy release date got pushed back yet again. He doesn't want to be in the spotlight, then he does. GnR was good back when hairbands ruled the radio but all the talent in the band has moved on, so all the hype about Axl is exactly what it is, Hype . So thats all I gotta say about that, so long live Blind Melon & Shannon Hoon, a band that has great music by great people.

There is nothing wrong with discussing Axl or any other musician or band on the is forum. Yes it is a Blind Melon board and we are here to remember the Band and Shannon, I'm not the biggest G'N R fan myself, but they do come up since Shannon worked with them....I think this post might be best suited for the general Music forum, so I'm going to move it there....Ill leave a sticky up so you can see where I moved it to.

Ah ha! Now, I see the post you were talking about yesterday Christian....I thought you were talking about another.
Even though this is a Blind Melon forum, we do have a music section. There's an Alice in Chains thread, Jeff Buckley thread, Tripod thread, Pantera thread, Porcupine Tree thread, Chris Whitley thread, Willie Nelson thread, Floyd thread...etc.. I think as long as each thread is in the appropriate Forum Section, it's up to the posters to create whatever thread(s) they'd like (without breaking any rules). Though, I can't stand Axl, I think his fans can talk about them as much as they want.
I can't stand Willie Nelson, either. So, I just never visit that thread for entertainment... I would only visit it to "moderate", ya know?

There are plenty of other GnR fans here. Don't take it personally.
The only thing I've seen you take a post personally (besides this one) is when you got upset that someone spelled "Axl" wrong.

Yea, but...not to sound like an ass, I think you're the last person here that should be correcting people's spelling. #sorry#

Can't we all just get along??? I love you Christian and def understand you want to show love and respect to Shannon and the band, but I don't think anything was meant by it. The last board turned into something that was sometimes ugly and it was horrible! It made me run away and I don't want to leave!! Hugs and kisses guys!

Here's where I can weigh in on the subject at hand. I am a huge Willie Nelson fan, and have even met Willie. But I'm not at all offended by the fact that Gelf and Shinn's Theory don't like his music and singing. Because even I can admit that good ole Willie sings through his nasal passages and not his mouth. Likewise, I think that even the biggest fan of Axl Rose should be able to admit (despite his tremendous talent artistically) that he could be abrasive/rude quite often and rub some people the wrong way. I am not a fan of Axl at all, but for me, I feel like I can separate Axl the performer and Axl the person. But people here at this forum have a right to like or dislike the performer and/or their music. . . #thumb# Gelf, maybe I'm not done moderating just yet, even though I jumped outside of my mod section for this thread. . .

Everything is alright on my end, I'm sorry if I started something, I wasn't trying too, It just pisses me off when I sit back & think what could if been if shannon wouldn't have fucked up that one night or morning. So much great music that we are never gonna hear. Then there is Axl, when Hetfield got blown up by the pyrotechs, Axl could have saved the day, or couldn't have been such a dick to the other guys, he was on top of the world & fucked everything up. Why can't people like that disapperar if you know what i mean, and Shannon, Jim Morrison, & Jimi Hendrix, people that actually love to perform & do music that people love live on. Axl is dead to me & he will never get a fucking dollar from me, . Then this is month I lost my brother last year, which he wasn't a performer or anything but he was/is great person that cares about other people unlike Axl who only cares about himself, so I'm a little bitter that shitty people like that live on and awesome people like my brother or Shannon die at such a young age. Then every thread this chick Izzy like Axl this & Axl that, I'm fuck that guy. I'm not trying to be ugly about it , there's just so many people out there that work their ass off for their music and people actually care would Axl is going to release some peice of crap that he don't give a shit about just trying to get a paycheck. I love this place and the people, I view it like my extended family. I apologize for coming off like a dick but I don't apologize for what I said/wrote. This place got a great vibe & don't want to fuck that up. BTW I love Willie Nelson also, Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson storytellers is awesome. Anyways I hope everyone understands what I'm saying, or where I'm coming from. Music is great and a big part of all our lives and this is a great place to discuss all forms/genre of music. Sorry for the book here, but I thought I should give you my point of view.

Now I understand exactly where you are coming from and what you were trying to say, thanks for clarifying that. I couldnt understand why you were so upset at first, but now that makes sense to me.

Christian, I def think you wrote your opinion really well. It's really great to hera both sides and realize that everyone respects the other side. I agree with you about what you said about losing the great, and sometimes really nasty people are the ones who people worship--it stumps me as well. I don't care for the group that you wrote about, and respect you for saying your opinion. I am happy we are all ok on this board though. I think peace is the best. There is room for all types of people, fans of all music, and every view point here. Love ya Christian!
