They definitely had some influence from the glam scene. They just left the makeup bag at home.

Yes, the classic GnR crew with the first five of them, was awesome. Agree, not the same genre as Poison, RATT or Crue who were proper glam - I like them too though

. Skid Row carried that rebellious youth image so well, especially with Bach as frontman. Also, King Kobra and WASP - though not proper glam were such awesome bands. And there were so many, and most of them came unscathed from the 80's, are alive and still won't reunite! Oh apologies for posting about music on a racing thread, but i couldn't help the analogy.

G n R were heavily influenced by Hanoi Rocks, my favourite band of the 80s, and proper sleazy glam!

Indeed, and Michael Monroe is so talented!

Changing crew chiefs isn't a crime. What bugs me the most is the manner in which our Hero conducted the deed. To publicly heave JB under the Yellow Bus was absolutely unnecessary.

Why not wait a few more days 'till the end of the season? Offer to buy the old man dinner and, over a glass of wine, explain how "I need to try something different." A week later, Jeremy himself can make a quiet press announcement that he's retiring. (This is one of those situations where a comfortable corporate lie is probably best for all involved.)

Oh ....... no. That won't do!

Instead, Rossi's ego insisted that HE be the one to break the news to the howling press corps. To add significant insult, he does it mere hours after dropping the bomb on JB. Rossi's acts smack of the same old grandstanding crap we've all grown to know and love, an example of pure selfish control-freak ego on display.

Wave and wink, you ....... twink. <span style="color:#ffd700;"Look at me! LOOK AT ME!!!!!"

Good advice

Is that how you subdue your victims? Offer to buy them dinner and a glass of wine spiked with rooffies. Leave the establishment with stumbling victim propped up on your shoulder and sheepishly tell waitress she doesnt handle her alcohol well. Toss her now limp body in the back of your nondescript white van with an OUTATIME front license plate. Hit the CD player and Kenny Loggins blasts thru the speakers as you ride into the danger zone.

Take her back to your trailer out in the desert and put her in your YELLOW painted room, then dress her up in full YELLOW regalia which ratchets your already seething anger at the world into stratospheric heights. In the backround Coldplay is heard droning on about YELLOW.

Your eyes see only a YELLOW mist as red, spatters the YELLOW walls and pools on the floor.

A week later a police press conference is held stating that the search for the girl has changed status from rescue to recovery.

VR's tried several times to blame something other than his epic .... up, the Bopper minions have always followed strict orders to tow the line. Brainwash...nah, thats too benign. More like Jim Jones cult followers, except crazier.

To be fair, if you saw pics of what me an Arrab looked like in our respective youths, you would probably have seen a hint of glam rock influence....

No need for modesty Pete, you and Arrabi are every bit of rocker glam today! Fabulous to boot.

I would say the Rossi haters cult has more devotees and are way more whack than the boppers ever were. The hate has consumed them and drives them. The detailed page long examples of why hate if justified that date back years. Details that include professional and personal that are unknown and unresearched about any other human being let alone rider. It verges on stalking and is very creepy. These cult members meet every sunday in their internet church and site the rossi wrong doings with as much consistency and enthusiasm as a muslin reading the Koran or a Hare Krishna chanting.

Really, who are the brainwashed amongst us ?

"Clearly it blindsided me and I was not expecting it whatsoever" says Burgess.

This says it all really. Whatever your opinion of the man and the situation, he deserved a more dignified exit than this. A lot of the talk around today, even from long term boppers with names like @46yellow46 are saying way to forget who helped you to get where you are today.

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is that a lot of that team has been loyal to JB as much as Rossi and has followed from Honda to Yamaha, to Ducati and back again. Alex Briggs posted a photo on his twitter of a photo of JB's locker with the quote "the shoes that are kept in there can't be filled". I doubt Rossi has considered how this might impact the morale of his remaining crew.

I think it's quite naive to think this is all Rossi's decision. Decisions of this magnitude are rarely made by one man.

I thought you were going to get all philosophically profound, cerebral and deep then...which you almost did until you mentioned 'Skid Row'. About as credible as citing Anthony Gobert for credence in a discussion about particle physics.

Perhaps David St Hubbins' dismissal of the role Nigel Tufnel had played in the band when Nigel left Spinal Tap is a closer parallel. They did eventually make up of course.

Yeah you're right. JB probably told Uccio to get the .... out of the way one too many times.

It's refreshing to see Jum, of all people, so reasonable and for once adamantly opposed to any kind conspirational thinking... Bravo!

AnnoyingTwit · Nov 8, 2013

I'm reminded of comments that I heard Graeme Crosby say after his retirement from GP racing. About former great champions who have gotten older and slower, but still believe that it's going to happen for them again. (He didn't say who this was concerning, but I don't think it's hard to guess).

I think Rossi has done reasonably well on his return. He wasn't beating Lorenzo in his previous Yamaha season. However, extreme self-belief is of course a common characteristic of GP racers. I'm also mindful of Burgess's own comment that they (him and his team) haven't come up with the goods for four years now. Perhaps even Burgess is admitting that it was time for someone else to take over. We'll see if this is too little too late for Rossi or not.
