#1091 Re: The Sunset Strip » Jason Lives: FRIDAY THE 13TH » 924 weeks ago
It just really comes across like a clusterfuck in places like that, for the same reason Halloween 2007 did. It seems like someone fitting too many ideas into the film to give it any cohesiveness. As soon as they touch on something intriguing, they're off to something else., and expect you to keep up.
Yet at the same time, it's not a fast-paced move, which makes it even weirder.
#1092 Re: The Sunset Strip » U2 - Acoustic Achtung Babies » 924 weeks ago
I would never consider a Bono a weak link in any regard whatsoever. Hell, he blows 99.9% of the artists discussed here completely off the stage. U2 was the ONLY band in 1991 that could give that pre-Gilby UYI line up a run for its money.
I guess I insinuated he is a weak link on that specific track, but I think its a case of just trying too hard to get the song completed.
saikin, you should definitely dive into their discography. Don't take the easy way out with a hits record either because you'll miss too many gems. Start with The Joshua Tree. If songs on that don't move you, then just give up.
I just meant weak link on that track, but that's of course for the standard set by the rest of the band, which is way up there. It's really in no way an insult to Bono whatsoever. To me, he's the part that drags that song down a little. It just doesn't quite fit with the rest of it I think.
I'll download The Joshua Tree this weekend. I never download an artists GH to first get into them. In fact, I still don't have Soundgarden's GH. 
Never really needed it.
#1093 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Disturbing Video Ever Made » 924 weeks ago
Believe me, I am in shock as well at my drastic change in taste in music. Always had a broad scope(Slayer, Barry Manilow, Bob Marley, Hank Williams Jr., list goes on), but I do gravitate towards R&B and techno/new wave influenced shit now.
Had someone told me 4 years ago I would be listening to no new rock but instead M.I.A., Santogold, XEO3, Christina Milian, Rye Rye, Goldfrapp, Winehouse,Rihanna, etc. I would have requested they seek a psychological evaluation.
Only rock I listen to are my fave albums from years ago, and of course when bands like GNR, U2,etc. release something new.
It's not really that surprising really if you look at your past music tastes and what they did. They all did something original in their day. There's not that much new rock that's doing anything original.
But your new found interests are the ones doing something fresh and (sometimes) original. A couple years ago I wouldn't have thought that my musical tastes would have changed to what they are now either.

the girls these days it seems are all about "if you like it so much put a nappy on it"...
Ka-Ching.. who needs the lotto when you got a kid or 2. Sadly, dumb girls and their dumber parents that dont teach em where they went wrong, are the majority now..
Thing is, the gov is getting extra tight on the people that are entitled to shit, thanks to the wastes of space "mothers" demanding everything you n me have to work for all our lives, handed on a plate just for opening her legs..
I have a disability claim to put in. I dont have a cunt, therefore denying me the life of riley
I've had girls start talking about marriage and kids with me, and that's about the point in time I decide it's time to move on.
It's amazing how many guys my age fall into this though and get engaged/married within a couple years out of school.

He friggin campaigned at basketball courts! He practiced on camera with North Carolina, he was going to do the same with my beloved Kentucky Wildcats, his brother in law is a coach. There is NOTHING racist about that.
Hopefully you were being sarcastic and I missed the sarcasm.
Guess I should have clarified my original post. I was pretty much asleep when I posted that. That's what someone came up to me and said at work when I saw the cartoon. They acted like they made Obama a basketball player just because he's black and are assuming that all black people like basketball.
I was like, "Yeah, Obama likes basketball. There's pictures of him playing basketball."
Wow... my post really wasn't clear at all. Sorry about that guys!
That makes sense! I was like, no way dude!
That had to have been one of my worst posts on a forum ever. Completely just left out my punchline while posting that.

That's not my own idea, that was in my local paper. I found it kinda racist to depict Obama as a basketball player.

#1097 Re: The Garden » 11 year old commits suicide » 924 weeks ago
I can't believe I missed this topic.
This is truly a tragic and heartbreaking story. My condolences go out to her family and friends, as I am sure this is still incredibly hard for them to live with. I couldn't even imagine.

I'm glad you said that, because I will never accept a GNR reunion with Matt drumming. It's Steven or Frank or Brain. Otherwise, it's garbage.
I would much rather see Steven or Frank, or, preferably, Brain in a reunion. Matt is a douche.
Plus, he's basically admitted time and time again he's a gold digger (and a giant douche).
#1099 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wich one of this songs you like to see in the Next GN'R Album ? » 924 weeks ago
seven peopel that screwed him over
Slash
Zutaut
izzy
The press
steph
erin
niven
Fixed your seven people.
Seems like he's on good terms with Duff and Steven I really doubt could have screwed Axl over. Could maybe even swap out Erin for 'the fans.'
