Thanks again Will for adding Jungle. When you listen to Axl's voice there, when for YEARS we all shitted on 2002, he actually sounds better there than he does today. At least that band had Bucket.

God what a fucking band. They were just starting to get really tight. That period man from 1988-1991... what a lost opportunity in some ways. I mean, they played some kick ass shows, nearly broke up, nearly died, fired their drummer, hired a keyboardist, and wrote and finished a double-album, and rebooted the band by '91.... so maybe it wasn't lost, lol.

But at the same time, what a fucking band. Greatest rock band to ever roam the earth at that point.


Too bad Axl doesn't see it that way. hmm

That's why there aren't more of these shows. I don't think they're hiding in a vault. I think they're hiding at Axl's house, and he just wants to bury that period.

#1083 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose v Michael Monroe » 686 weeks ago

Ain't It Fun was an absolutely solid cover with total Guns attitude, but sadly got lost on a dead band at that point. The more the years have gone on, I play some of those TSI tracks beside some of the grunge hits of the time, and honestly despite them being covers... GN'R holds their own honestly.

It's really the best covers album in history, and GN'R probably doesn't get the credit it deserves by choosing songs that not alot of people were aware of, or just re-tooling to the point of of not knowing what it was. Since I Don't Have You was out of place, and being used as a lead single seemed to be either A) an Axl appeasement or B) a Geffen appeasement. New Rose is full balls Duff. Down On The Farm is one of their best covers of all fucking time, even if Axl should've just been Axl on it rather than the fake accent. Human Being might be one of the best songs they ever did. Ain't It Fun same thing. Hair of the Dog, straight-forward rocker, no fuss, no bullshit. Gotta love Duff an' Attitude. Black Leather is underated as hell, and although Tommy's cover of Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory is better, Duff's ain't bad if he would've toned down the campy voice.

I think it would've got even less respect, even if more attention, (as bad ass as it would've been), had it been loaded with covers of Bohemian Rhapsody, Sympathy For The Devil, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Dead Flowers, Sail Away Sweet Sister, and more recognizable songs.

Saw this the other day. Looks fantastic. They say it's gonna be an anthology series with new film detectives each season. Sounds friggin' awesome.

I threw a vote out to Kill 'Em All, because I personally love that record. But we all know the Black Album is the best.

This war, no different than Iraq, is not about freedom or WMD's, it's about power and money, and the industry that war has sadly become, so sadly that I don't even look at my own country the same. MY country. I have to live with knowing everything I ever believed was a lie, or at least is a lie in the last 30 years. This is NOT the America of the Eisenhower/Kennedy, let's fight the Commies, days. Far from it.

The U.S. is not going to learn until they get the shit kicked out of them, like alot of bullies.

And this is coming from the guy, with the southern accent, confederate flag in the truck, cowboy hat n' boots, old school, patriotic American.

Fuck you.  How dare you make a comment like that.  While you sit on your ass sucking down cheeseburgers whining about how life has dealt you a bad hand, young kids who weren't too craven to go to war with in a remote part of the world just to get through college, signed the dotted line.  Some of them didn't come home.  Where the fuck do you get off hoping, actually hoping that Americans die in a conflict they don't want to fight.  It's your fucking President that wants to put them over there.  The dipshit you voted for.  So you get to slurp up McDonalds while some 19 year old gets his brains blown out because our dipshit President and list of cohorts sent him over there to not appear weak.  You aren't out a fucking dime.  I've heard your sob stories.  You aren't paying shit.  Your life won't be changed one god damn bit if 50000 American boys and girls get taken out.  You'll still hop on the internet and bloviate about how you've got all the worlds problems figured out yet you can't even fix your own fucking life.

You want to change something, don't vote for a fucking community organizer with a nice smile.  Don't vote for politicians who were too fucking scared or too "busy" with their lives to do something for their country rather than their own personal well being.

This is seriously the most disgusting thing I have ever read on these forums.  I don't give a fuck if 100 people down vote me or I get banned.  But you need to pull your head out of your ass and realize you're part of the problem.  You vote assholes in, then get disgusted at the mess you helped make, and hope that others die so that you can boast on the fucking internet that you were right.  Get a fucking life.

I don't support action in Syria.  I didn't support it in Iraq and Afghanistan either.  Maybe that was selfish because I knew I'd have to be the one dodging bullets while people like you got to drink a cheap ass beer and wave the American flag from the comfort of your living room.  But at least Bush got congress to authorize his wars.  Obama has done nothing of the sort and it doesn't look like he will.

You want to wish harm on someone.  Why don't you wish it on the millions of pieces of shit who infest our great country by being nothing but fucking parasites who can only find solace in the eyes of greedy politicians who want their votes or other losers who couldn't figure out that success is 99% of the time given to people who work hard and restrain their actions.  If you have 3 fucking kids and can't afford rent, it's not society or the government who fucked you.  It's your own inability to not blow your load in some chick when you're not valuable enough to have a worthy skillset.  If you're drowning in debt because you went to some jerkoff college and majored in 12th century fecal art, it's your fault for being a fucking moron and not applying yourself.  Very few people are actually victims of outside circumstances.  Most are victims of their own stupidity.  And the very few who are victims and deserve help are lost in the horde of the lazy, weak and stupid.

I'm so god damn tired of these internet intellectuals who haven't stepped outside their own house in 5 years, yet are experts in foreign policy and countries they didn't know existed until the Media dropped its name and they hopped on Wikipedia to get their 30 seconds of expert material.

I used to like and respect you Axlin'.  But now you've become lost in your own desperation and self perceived inadequacies.  What you said was despicable and you should really think about what that means.



What I said was NOT despicable. It was the truth Randall. YOU volunteered for YOUR service. And I supported you. But why should I like you over the people of Syria who have DONE NOTHING TO AMERICA, because you opted for a job with the government.


YOU need to take a step back. YOU don't fight for MY freedom. I'm not an INTERNET intellectual. I'm an ACTUAL intellectual who has lost every friend I've ever had because I've been PUBLIC about how I feel and feel about this illegal government. You think because I voted for Obama, that I voted for this? I will admit one wrong... believing any of this was about "freeing" the people over there. Just like you did, and YOU KNOW you did. Otherwise your just a gunslinger for uncle Sam. So don't give me a lecture pal. You get your paycheck from them too.

Pull your head out of YOUR ass and realize that YOU are not fighting for ME. The day YOU fight FOR ME, is the day you and all your buddies take your guns, and charge into Washington with them and SAY FUCKING NO I WON'T GO.


Don't be a coward. Be an American. The one your fore fathers fought for.

And my life is fucked BECAUSE the corrupt people you fight for. You remember that.

#1087 Re: The Garden » 9-11 Reflection » 687 weeks ago

The "Freedom" Tower roll


I truly will never forget 9/11. I remember exactly where I was when I watched the 2nd plane hit live, and trying to explain to people what I had just seen, of which no one believed me. It was too fantastical for them to wrap their minds around. Too crazy. I still tear up thinking about it, and I wasn't even in NYC when it happened.

I had no clue on that day, how much 9/11 like a ripple effect would completely change my generation. The way we view the world. The way we live. The way we see our government. 9/11 had a lasting impression on me. I remember thinking then about the things that "didn't add up" and just swallowed them because I was trying to be a patriotic American. I remember fighting for 10 years to prove my government right. To vindicate it. And giving up, because it just wasn't true.

Looking back now, it's even more of a spit in the face to call it the "Freedom" tower when it's been the exact opposite of that. The indoctrination of the people and the world. Americans have lost almost ALL freedoms guaranteed to them under our constitution under the guise of "keeping our country safe". The end of Habeus Corpus. The end of what made America... America. The legend of America.

Even if you don't believe in conspiracies, our country hasn't been the same since.

If Bin Laden acted alone or giving the orders to those pilots... he shoved a grenade down our throats and pulled the pin.




The 3,000 dead, and the millions more that already are and just don't know it yet.


That's what i'll reflect on.

























I'm Paul Harvey

#1090 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose v Michael Monroe » 687 weeks ago

GN'R were NOT at their core a punk band. GN'R at their core were a bunch of rock enthusiasts paying homage to OTHER BANDS that WERE punk like the Sex Pistols, but with an Aerosmith/AC-DC presentation.


That is NOT the same thing. That's how i've always seen it. That's not a punk band. It's a tribute to a punk band. That is GN'R.


In other words, the only true punk member in GNR's history was Tommy Stinson, even slighting Duff.
