I may check out this show later in the summer! Since the duo isn't touring for the time being.

Excellent album, their best by far.
Completely agree. It was more than worth the wait.
Discovery was a hard album to top too.

Also makes me think - if Axl had just one great album in him - as good as UYI then I'd happily wait 3 more years
Oh hell yea man. Thanks for thoughts and comments on this album. So far it's my favorite album that came out this year and deserves to be album of the year. Even though there is lots of good music still to come and some good albums that have come out after this one. Daft Punk just blends all these elements together. My favorite songs are Within, Get Lucky, Give Life.., Touch, Instant Crush, and Doin' Right. Other songs on it are getting up there. There isn't a clunker or bad song on it.
#1075 Re: Guns N' Roses » Is that you Axl? » 699 weeks ago
Slash, Duff, Matt, Gilby, and Izzy all look great for their age. Axl doesn't.
Agreed. I'm really worried about the guy. Don't know what's going through his head and want him to entertain and perform for a long time while living a fulfilling life. Going through some demons, perhaps. He looked and sounded fucking cool by all accounts in 06/07 and even in 09/'10. He's had some great moments last year and in 2011; but it keeps shifting towards the wrong side of things nowadays which is a shame. He's 51 and he can't act like this for long.

Me either. Sounds like a fun watch.
and Baz are magic together!
#1077 Re: The Sunset Strip » Lemmy IS god. » 699 weeks ago
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher swore off his standard loudmouth behaviour when he sat down on a plane and realised Lemmy was on board too.
He decided to keep quiet in case he landed in trouble with the Motorhead icon – but Lemmy had different ideas.
Gallagher tells GQ: "I met Lemmy once on a plane. I thought, 'I'm not going to drink on this flight – I'm going to wind my neck in.' Can I get a water please?
"Next minute a pair of cowboy boots get put down beside me. He looked at me and said, 'What the fuck are you doing drinking water?'"
Meanwhile, Lemmy has admitted his estimate of having slept with 1000 women is probably too low – but even though he's doubled the figure he insists it's "not that impressive."
"It's probably more like 2000 now," he says. "That might seem like a lot; but I've never been married and I've been fucking women since I was 16. That's less than one a week."
ROCK N' FUCKING ROLL!!

Never said harmonica playing or a bluesy sound made it good. It's a good song, and those elements of it excited me. Obviously previous songs with the heavy blues influence are better and I would take Hand of Doom any day but for what it is, its a good song. And Tony does some really great soloing and riffing in that tune. That's what makes it good. Really don't hear them trying to recreate a sound either.
After having the record for a bit I still enjoy it. I would say Zeitgeist, Damaged Soul, Age of Reason, and Loner are the the meat of the record. I do agree with those disappointed in the lyrics through out the record. I would give it a 3 outta 5. With the best song either being Age of Reason or Damaged Soul.
Dude..I completely agree on those songs being the heart and soul of the album. The better songs. God is Dead? and End have actually grown on me abit and sound alot better with more listens; but they are still overlong and could be tweaked abit lyrically. I still thought Dear Father was a good closure when I heard it the first time just re-using those bells was kind of unoriginal. The band agrees too. They said it was Rick's idea. I would give it a 3.5/5. May bump it up to a 4 once I purchase it, re-listen to alot of the songs again, and of course the bonus tracks which sounded good on the previews. Will let you know what I finally think sometime in the next few weeks. It's no ADKoT comeback album; but it has songs that could reach that rock goodness. (Yes..I will still compare rock albums with ADKoT, love it so
) 
#1079 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 699 weeks ago
Saw This is the End last night and Man of Steel earlier today. Loved both films. This is the End is fucking hilarious and weird at times do to the many stuff that gets thrown at you with the situational comedy and the over the top personalities that the actors do to themselves. Cast was on fire. Won't spoil any other details. Discussed my positive thoughts on Superman in another thread.
#1080 Re: The Sunset Strip » Superman Thread. » 699 weeks ago
Got back earlier from seeing it. Really enjoyed it. It was awesome! Liked it better than Iron Man 3 in my honest opinion. Sure it has it's flaws in terms of pace from time to time and I agree on parts of the final battle; but overall a job well done. They pulled it off. Made a real Superman film. It can get better and those minor bits improved with a sequel or spin off film. Henry is Superman and I agree on Fishburne being underused; but he did the best for what he got. Didn't see that much Christian themes going on besides the whole Church thing towards the middle. Crowe was fucking fantastic and so was Shannon & Costner. So was Zod's second in command too. Amy's Lois was used appropriately and in the right amounts. Screw the film critics. This is mostly what I wanted. Which Returns and most Supes media over the years hasn't completely done. Lots of ideas and new horizons that can only move forward in the coming years. Not perfect and not the best comic book adaptation; but going in the right direction with the visual style (the new Krypton interfaces were neat/well designed) and concepts. I would give it a 8 (maybe a 8.5, tops)/10 as well and I rarely do scores for movies and music nowadays. I need to see it a second time with a few good friends. Saw it with my parents and my younger sister (who complained about the film afterwards..ugh) My Dad loved it and he grew up on the originals and liked this better than the original two.
