It is pretty ironic
More ironic considering how Russ was burying it along with the rest of the forum for years and Bono was a former moderator there (um maybe, either way, he has had more than 1 account since he was banned originally).
That's pretty much how I saw it. It is completely the most illogical move that I do not understand, even from the standpoint of "we're gonna clean it up".
I know you're not American, but that's like spending years of your life as a Boston Red Sox running down the Yankees as a bunch of scabs and pieces of shit, then turning around and signing with the Yankees, all smiles.
I'm not judging, i'm just saying I don't get it.
#1092 Re: The Garden » War in Syria » 687 weeks ago
Also, Assad is not breaking international law when "rebels" attacking him use poison gas (from Russia?).
Same as Afghanistan, somebody wants to build an oil and gas pipeline. Assad is not too keen on that. The west can't live with that kind of evil, so here we come!
This and this. There is absolutely NO reason for the U.S. to be going into Syria. This whole thing is so a false flag power grab it's almost sickening that Obama is willing to be such a mark for the globalists that he's literally willing to risk World War III with not just America, but THE WORLD and their lives, so those in power can continue to make that part of the world burn.
First off, I have heard utterly NO-PROOF that Assad has used chemical weapons. None. Nothing at all. Obama and Kerry are basically relying on "take our word for it". Obama was so arrogant that he basically went to G-20 and practically alluded to "I know it's not popular but... [come on guys, it's me, Obama]"
I voted for the guy (am regretting in the last 3 weeks), but can anyone tell me when he became an Emperor, because I must have missed that.
Secondly, Assad has NOTH-ING to gain by gassing people. No advantage. At all. Obama would have you believe this was done for shits n' giggles in a civil war. Umm, like fucking no or something?
Assad (who I AM NOT defending by ANY MEANS, he's a scumbag too), had been working towards democracy, and Assad KNEW that the Americans had been aching for YEARS to get into a fist-fight with him, to dethrone him.
Assad would either be the stupidest mother fucker to ever breathe, or he'd be right in the fact that he had been warning anyone who would listen for the last couple of years that the U.S. was gonna set him up to take the country, because he wasn't playing ball on... of what else... commerce. Money, the banks, finances, what it always comes down to the scum sucking globalists.
Kissenger YEARS ago outlined a plan to basically make the Middle East burn. The U.S. DOES NOT WANT PEACE IN THAT REGION. I can PROMISE YOU THAT. It DOES NOT PAY for the U.S. to have peace in that region. The more bodies pile up, the more dead kids, the better for the Americans. Why? Because the U.S. can simply go in, mop up, put their marks in there that do their bidding, and go back to business as usual. The more destroyed the middle east is, the more money they make, the less power exists in that part of the world, WITHOUT the major players coming in and making it work.
Thirdly, these so-called "rebels" that the U.S. is calling is... Al-Queda. These people are just another version of Islamic fascists. Pick your poison. Depends on the day. These rebels are far worse than Assad any day of the week. The rebels gassing THEMSELVES is far more likely. They have the most to gain. Assad has EVERYTHING to lose.
I mean I could go on and on. The war would be the least approved in history. Nobody wants it, Russia included. The U.S. has NO BUSINESS over there whatsoever. Way too much grey.
Now here in the states (i'm sure our world friends don't know this), now our local state politicians are using this political hotbed to basically push a Syrian War on the U.S. claiming, and no i'm not kidding, that Syria is going to detonate nuclear bombs in American cities very soon if we don't.
Of course! 'Dem Terrorisms is comin' ta get us, right? What a load of utter shit.
Obama strikes Syria, Russia's bluff gets called. They aren't going to want to look weak. They'll call China. Iran is already throwing threats around... this don't look good man, and over fucking NOTHING. So a boat load of people died in a gas attack, that NOBODY even has provided irrefutable proof that Assad even did it. So we're going to go to war over THAT?
This isn't even counting how many lies Obama and Kerry have been caught in in the last week, back and forthing on their statements.
How can dropping bombs be "saving people" according to John McCain?
This is bullshit. This whole thing is a scam.
People on here know the kind of stuff i've said on here before being the polar-opposite of what i'm saying right now. That's how strongly I feel about this.
America goes over there... I hope the Russians light them the fuck up. America needs to be CHECKED. It's time America gets their ASS whooped and realizes they are not the savior, but the goddamn BULLY on the block and have been ever since they sold out to the globalist pigs that own our Federal Reserve.
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.
God Bless America, truely... as you make the biggest fucking mistake in your history. I can only hope and pray to the Lord above that casualties are low, and that this war causes America to wake the fuck up, take back our country from the criminals that are currently running it. CRIMINALS.
And to all of my friends elsewhere in the world... I am sorry. From this American to you. I am sorry. I am truely sorry. This government, this industry/banker-owned military DOES NOT REPRESENT ME or my fellow Americans. We love you, and we're sorry. Peace and love to you and yours, and if you ever in your socialist nations (which would never allow it), feel like becoming a little more loving of guns, if we want to get violent, why don't we pick up weapons and take our governments back across the globe. Power to the people. Death to the globalists.

#1096 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose v Michael Monroe » 687 weeks ago
This story brings me back to that age old argument post-AFD of "what should GN'R have done", which has been debated to death not just by fans but by anyone who was a GN'R fan, specifically in reference to Axl's overwhelming dominate direction of the future of Guns by the late 80's.
First off, the biggest topic among debate was ALWAYS "GN'R was a punk band during AFD". I have never, ever thought GN'R was a punk band. Granted I was way too young to fully grasp that Strip '86 band vs. the Ritz '88 band at that point, but I was old enough by the 1991 reboot of GN'R kicking off at Rio II to understand even as a small child who mixed in GN'R videos in-between airings of Ducktales, that by 1991 GN'R FIRMLY was NOT a punk band, and if they were it was long gone.
Duff has argued it. Slash has argued it. Hell even Tommy Stinson has argued it. I may not be a band member, but I just don't see it. I think these guys like Duff (Ramones), Tommy (Clash), and Slash (T-Rex) and all of these punk acts that were a huge influence on them were never in making GN'R a punk band.
Axl, who from punk nerds frankly, got all this street cred from these people (at least in his 1986-1988 version) was the next punk superstar. I respond to this with a resounding...
HUH?
What the fuck are you people on? I felt that way then, in high school, now, and for-fucking-ever. What are you seeing? Even if Axl talked about loving UK Subs, or calling Never Mind The Bollocks one of his favorite albums, and saw Hanoi Rocks as an influence, Axl never struck me as the kind of guy that loved punk beyond popping in an occasional Sex Pistols or Stooges tape and pretending for an hour he understood aggression. Something tells me W.A.S.P and Motley Crue had a far greater affect on Axl's perception.
Oh and btw, the Hanoi Rocks influence on GN'R has been WAYYYYYYYYYYYY overstated by all involved over the years. GN'R were not influenced by Hanoi Rocks, they were influenced by The New York Dolls, no different than Hanoi Rocks. The only thing that Axl took from Michael Monroe during that period was "his look". The similarites ended there.
Even when Axl was wearing leather chaps, and dressing on rainbow-colored silk bandanas that would make Bret Michaels cry "gayness" as well as Axl wearing eye-liner, Axl still was an obvious redneck from the mid-west with influences so crazy it would be the equivalent of Elton John becoming the lead vocalist/pianist of Lynyrd Skynyrd if one could imagine.
Axl's influences were firmly Freddie Mercury's music with a Gregg Allman presentation. Even then.
Even by the time the band rolled out The Spaghetti Incident in 1993 in an effort to re-capture their "punk ethos", most reacted to that album with a resounding.... HUH?
Only industry people, and long-haired virgins in black-rimmed glasses with Ramones t-shirts that enjoyed sniffing their own farts and claiming the Mats were the best band that never was, ever saw GN'R as a punk band.
The world didn't see it that way. Period. Regardless of what Axl did, or didn't do.
I for one, as a fan, as critical as I am of what Axl's doing, commend him for doing something Michael Monroe never had the balls to do... something everyone doesn't want you to do. Axl did that. Not Mike. Axl. Not Slash. Axl. Not Izzy. Axl. Not Duff. Axl. Etc. Fucking Axl.
Axl never gets that kind of credit, because Chinese is seen as an utter failure. Only by those hung up on what GN'R is or was. This is a classic argument, that still shows no signs of dying out. "Yada yada yada, GN'R was a punk band, or a metal band, or a hard rock band, or a southern rock band, or...etc." GN'R, other we can all agree is a 'rock' band, never pigeonholed itself into a category like that.
I commend Axl for shaking it up each album. Although he looks stranged in a lawman hat, fu manchu mustache, and a cane in his 50s in 2013 touring a revised nostaglia, he still has remained remarkably current.
I would be utterly embarassed EVEN FURTHER to be an Axl Rose fan had he been the same age in an alternate universe still working leather outfits, with fried dyed 80's glam hair (extensions) and fashion, recording songs outdated in 1989, trying to be the same exact thing he was 25 years ago. That's lame to me. That's why many have always seen rock as a young man's game.
#1097 Re: The Sunset Strip » Superman Thread. » 688 weeks ago
Lambert has worked more in his home country of France since his U.S. film career fizzled by the late 90's. Highlander: Endgame in 2000 might've been his last major U.S. release.
In the last couple of years he's had a re-curring role as the major bad guy (and pretty damn good at it too) on NCIS: Los Angeles, a foil to Chris O'Donnell's (speaking of Batman).
Lambert a few years ago did a really low-budget French/European horror flick I caught on late night called "Metamorphosis" (I think) with another annual cult movie alum Corey Sevier. Anyways Lambert played this bad guy ancient vampire in it, and although he played it with alot of "Lambert in it", he was SO GOOD at just playing a straight up evil guy. I thought then when watching it, with his French accent, what a great Ra's Al Ghul he'd make.
And before anyone questions his acting ability, he was fantastic in the French film "White Material". For some strange reason he constantly choose shlocky, crappy U.S. films to be apart of, but he's actually got better skills than he even admits to.

Diggin Blood in The Water.
Anyone else realise that Goin Down has almost every member of Nu GNR on it.. I hear everyone from Tobias to Ron on it I think.
Lastly... Where is the TiL and ITW remixes??
How do you know Tobias is on Going Down?

I really want to hear that TIL that MSL talked about on his show. The guy who was on his podcast said it improved alot of the things with the song. Even though I loved the final studio version already. Not sure when it will ever be leaked.
Hopefully it improves that shitty Robin solo. DJ's solo would help it A-LOT. I always preferred the orchestra.
#1099 Re: The Sunset Strip » Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx Encourages Fans to ‘Dig Deep’ and Purchase Fu » 688 weeks ago
Honestly alot of people felt that way in the 80's when they looked back on their Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Poison, and Motley Crue t-shirts. MTV pushed the glam/hair scene, and all those chicks that loved their Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Nothin' But a Good Time, and Home Sweet Home t-shirts and bandanas looked back on their high school days of big hair, and blushed and went "yeah I looked like that".
We say the music was better, because it was. But society didn't judge it as such. They looked at it as terrible.
Now people in their 30's look back on their Creed and Britney and Limp Bizkit shirts the same way.
In about 10-15 years, they're gonna be looking at their Rihanna, Miley, and Robin Thicke shirts the same way.
It's ONLY the soundtrack of their lives because it was chosen by the corporate media and music industry to BE THAT GENERATION's soundtrack. It's not like something like Guns N' Roses coming around in the late 80's, because they were. Look at grunge, it had technically been around since the mid-80's. Thrash metal in San Fran even longer.
The final "hit" coming out when I was in high school was Johnny Cash's "Hurt" cover. What a helluva song to close that fucking nightmare of a book with. Very melancholic. Does that not count, because Cash was a legend with 40+ years in the business? I don't think so...

RaZor wrote:smoke wrote:Get Keaton and you can do the Kingdom Come arc. How bad ass would that be. An all out superhero on superhero war film?
Oh man, if only Christopher Reaves were still with us and healthy, how awesome would a kingdom come movie be with those two.
Oh yeah hell yeah! ..and I can see Axlin's pitch totally work with Returns. I have a feeling Cage hasn't totally given up on the role. He has so much respect and is a big fanboy of the Man of Steel. He named his kid after the character too. I still need to read Kingdom Come and some popular issues in the DC universe very soon. Saw most of them at a comic store near my house awhile ago. Having Reaves play a character on Smallville towards the end of his life was extremely moving for alot of people and the fans. What he did even with his illness, charity, and other things made him become a real hero.
My only problem is while the Dark Knight Returns is a highly influential book it portrays both characters in negative lights. Superman as a drone taking orders from the U.S. govt. (which is almost out of character) and not using his higher Kryptonian intellect and Batman as extremely violent with blood lust and vengeful. Plus Miller has said time and time again that he despises the nature and various incarnations of Superman. So having him work with Snyder on a Man of Steel sequel with Batman that is stated to not follow the full premise of Dark Knight Returns seems a tad odd. I mean they are definitely going to use elements of it, follow MOS's aftermath, and have it improved and justified overall. Hopefully! Let's see what happens I suppose.
But see the thing is the U.S. government is so manipulative, using psychological techniques actually crafted by the forefathers of psychology to do psy-ops to convince you what is good is what is wrong.
Superman's natural gift at not being controlled, is to NOT control him. He's a Jesus figure. But you've got to convince him what's best for the people, even if it goes against everything he knows. He cannot interfere with the will of the people. Thus -- U.S. war drone.
Batman on the other hand is anti-corrupt, anti-big government, anti-big business (despite Wayne Ent) and truely the embodiment of what man can be if they believe in their self.
If Superman is the hope, Batman is the answer. Safe yourself from... yourself.
It's a shame that Nolan used SO much of Ra's Al Ghul in his films, because I could totally see a more fantastical 600-year old Ra's being worked into a scenario with Lex Luthor and global domination. Luthor basically is a globalist, and could see Ra's as some sort of savior. Ra's would be using Lex in order to achieve his goal of human de-contamination, despising Luthor at the same time.
And with said, with Neeson off the table, and a more fantastical Ra's, my total vote for that casting goes to Christopher Lambert.
