#1041 Re: Guns N' Roses » Your six degrees of GNR? » 867 weeks ago
In '02 my wife and I walked right by axl and 2 body guards in the cold and dark of downtown Minneapolis. I was looking the wrong way and didn't even see Axl but my wife did. My wife was fairly drunk and seemed uncertain so I did not believe her at first. It turned out her uncertainty resulted from Axl having braids (she didn't know that he did at the time) even though she was still claiming it was him based on seeing his face. After we got that figured out the story began to come together. We were the only ones walking about that part of the city and when we turned a corner we were coming right up on them, my wife said she then heard quick whispering and the three men took off swiftly. by the time I looked all I could see was two large men in long coats scurrying away from us.

i wasn't responding to the question - i was responding to your response to the question - i read the question just fine.
you said us sales make or break american artists
that's.....................
BS
sales = money.
why wouldn't global sales be equal to US sales?They wouldn't sell the album globally if their money wasn't any good.
If this trend continues gnr will just start catering to this market

I am gonna go with what Axl said in the chats. He wants to work CD first.....obviously a weird way of going about it but a year in Axl time is a week for us normal folk!
he also hinted the next album would be out late this year

and that's not wishful thinking - i know better than to get my hopes up for something like that or to expect what makes the most sense.
That question can be answered when the setlist is unveiled.
Good call
#1045 Re: Guns N' Roses » So where does GN'R stand right now and what is the current news? » 868 weeks ago
i admit it too but i don't like it. i don't care about the updates or the web site. i just want music. if gnr put out 10 song albums every couple years and toured every four i would be a happy fan and that's all that would be necessary.
for me, the good and the bad about this forum is that it's 5 percent about gnr and 95 percent about us getting off talking, mostly, in theory about anything and everything that could somehow relate to gnr.
these sentiments have obviously been spoken of before but that's my take and thanks to everyone that has a part in running this forum cause it is definitely the best gnr forum around.
#1046 Re: Guns N' Roses » Prob no Brain on tour » 868 weeks ago
personally, i belive the rumors that the 2 other albms are finished and after bb bought almost 2 million cd's in advance i have a hard time believing they are short on money for recording/mastering/mixing any material that may be on the horizon and since they don't promote their material that about covers the bulk of expenses.
my question is not if this tour is to fund recording for album but if it to promote cd1 along with cd1.
and that's not wishful thinking - i know better than to get my hopes up for something like that or to expect what makes the most sense.

Buzz, are you on something?
yur being way too nice to me
#1048 Re: Guns N' Roses » So where does GN'R stand right now and what is the current news? » 868 weeks ago
so what does everyone think happened to the trilogy.
If he was thinking about it back then and after the wait turned into over a decade a trilogy in '08 would have made even more sense.
did the awesome deal they got with best buy change things?
perhaps we are going to get an album/tour, album/tour..... sorta thing as axl more recently indicated.
#1049 Re: Guns N' Roses » DJ Ashba says GNR rehearses again!! » 868 weeks ago
possibly in his prime.
he's getting up there in age and probably couldn't learn much of anything out of his comfort zone.

This might be semantics but I disagree with the idea that to be 'musically talented' you have to be competent in or adapt to a lot of different styles. Otherwise you'd have to say someone like BB king is also untalented...and that's just insane.
Nothing wrong with being a master at one single style. Robin is master of his particular dischord/dissonance bluesy industrial mixed sound and while I think it suited the new songs more than the old, it doesn't make him unmusical.
Anyway...absolutely no argument from me about fink's passion, in fact, his stage presence and the energy he put into the shows went a long way for me too.
So you don't think BB King could play anything other than the blues? I refuse to believe that (though I'm not going to put the effort into proving it).
There's nothing wrong with having one style you're best at and play almost all the time, however you cannot be considered musically talented if you're a one trick pony and you can't even remotely play any different style with any kind of ability.
BB King is a blues man.
If you asked him to play Stairway To Heaven he probably couldn't play it.
"i don't do chords," he says when they were making the song 'When Love Comes to Town with U2.
He's not a student of music but he's a student of life and he's got a whole lotta soul and creativity.
