*slams lap top lid shut*

Zombie not using Trailer Trash is like Scorcese not using gangsters.

The look of the Grindhouse films were great. Were they great films? No, they were good, not great. But the style was excellent and fit the films. That's what I was getting at.

And the original Halloweens aren't much better. So his versions actually fit the franchise perfectly

disclaimer: I do respect the original, even though I'm not a fan.

I think Zombie could make a pretty cool "grindhouse" version of The Blob...  And of course, his wife will play the stripper who never actually gets naked.

I think you're being a little harsh on RZ. I think the best thing he could do is totally reinvent The Blob to his vision (and why remake a film in the first pace if you're not going to do that?). Halloween is a hard film to reinvent... I personally thought the original was way overrated...

*ducks*

I liked the style of his Halloween. What hurt him was the times he tried to stay faithful to it. I liked the white trash aspect, and all of his orginal ideas he brought to it, they were probably the best parts of the film to me, but they just didn't fit in that movie, if that makes any sense. Little Michael Myers never should have been fleshed out like he was; showing his face, letting him talk. That killed the movie for me.

It's hard to even imagine because I just don't think it would ever happen under any circumstance. But if it did I think it would sound VERY close to TSI? and SFTD and it would be pretty raw. They would have flirted more with Grunge, which Axl was way into at the time, possibly even some flashes of industrial synths... Which is probably one of the reasons it wouldn't have happened. And I could see Slash refusing to work on anything with Huge involved, like TWAT, IRS, Catcher...

But I wouldn't rely too much on the Snakepit album or even much of CD, except for TIL. Snakepit was the stuff Axl didn't want, the stuff he did want Slash gave up on according to Axl (perhaps retaliation?) and Duff described a 13 track album with a few acoustic songs, from what I remember.

At any point, a good amount of the songs for the album probably have no vocals or even lyrics. The "lost album" is proabbly a really, really interesting cluster fuck of songs and ideas/melodies/riffs/jams.
