Re: GUNS N' ROSES: Israeli TV Report (Axl drinking shots at a bar)

Yeah he's having a good time but.... it's really no different than anyone else but because it's Axl it's awesome? I must be missing something cause if there was footage of Bono doing the same thing my reaction would be "meh whatever". I don't know, the reaction almost seems as though people think he's on suicide watch 24/7
I think you're overlooking the fact that Axl Rose is viewed as A) a recluse, B) an asshole, C) someone who could care less about the fans.
That should answer your question.
^This.
I never said it's awesome, it's just cool to see a guy who's more known for the points Faldor pointed out, actually chilled out having a good time with some fans.
Cool! Thanx for posting! Nice to see!
Nevermind the "Debbie-downers" on here. They'll spin something positive into the ground faster then you can say Bono!

Positive? Come on.
Good for Axl that he's apparently happy as long as he's drunk, but this really isn't positive. I mean, if we're down to calling something like this positive, it really goes to show you how dark things really are.

Maybe "positive" isn't the right word but it's definitely "cool" IMO
I'll go with that.

It's not easy these days. But karma to you for the effort.
Also, I think it's cool when ANY celebrity hangs with "the people" like this. But when it's a celebrity I actually care about, it's even cooler.
What you said.
I maintain that if and when they come back to the US, he needs to do this type of thing more often.
A "I partied with Axl" story here and there would go a long way to combat years old "Axl went on a 4am" stories.
That would be quite amusing to hear! Just for the fun of it all!

I don't totally disagree...
My time of staying up late to follow the updates from gigs are long gone. It's cool for the fans in the cities they are playing these days. Many of them haven't had a GNR gig in many years. But for those of us that have seen this movie a couple of times, meeeh WHAT'S UP NEXT?!
As for the clip...
It's a positive and fun thing for those of us that are Axl fans. It's not an everyday thing that videos of him having a good 'ol time surfaces.
It's not a health sign on the state of GNR in any stretch of the imagination. I'm under no illusion there.
They're at the tail end of a two year world tour that has lasted FOUR(!) years!
I'm looking forward to seeing them wrapping this one up and embarking on whatever they feel is coming up next. No matter how long time that may take.
For those of us that are fans of the current lineup. One of the positive achievements of these last tours may in fact prove to be, that whatever it is that they are gonna do next (new album followed by a tour?), the media and the avarege rock fans are not gonna expect anything but the current lineup!

And you think that is going to help things? Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but I can only see that hurting things. IF there is a new album, its reception is going to make CD look like Thriller even if it is the greatest rock album ever made. People wanted to see what Axl could do without Slash and they saw. I don't think they're lining up to see what he can do with DJ that he couldn't do with BH. It will sell to the diehards and that's it.
