Seriously? Curiosity was almost all the sales and every sale to a non-forum member.
And that's a fact that... you just made up. Nice....:haha:
#11092 Re: Guns N' Roses » What did Axl consider to be "Big Guns" » 909 weeks ago
The Brando/Coppola comparison is very good.
Sorry just pisses me off. Great music. Great Vibe. Great chorus. Great outro. But fuck those lyrics are terrible. Why did he have to pick that song to be a "fuck you to someone" song. There are even moments in the lyrics that are great.
He should have got Chris Cornell to help write the song. It would have been a perfect dark, Doors/Zeppelin esq lullaby. Can you imagine him using one of the layered vocal tracks with that creepy, evil rasp from SCOM '99? Damn...
What a blown opportunity.:flame:

#11094 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Possibility of a Guns N' Roses '09 Summer tour » 909 weeks ago
Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone here knew that tour would have been a disaster. Their best chance would have been opening for U2.
It makes sense that if there is a tour it would happen at the end of the year, early next year. But there's no way it could be considered a tour for this album. Just start over with the next album.

I don't want to hear from Beta, or anybody like that. That's part of the problem, not the solution. The moment the various hangers on seized control of the steering wheel in the mid 90s, it stopped being anything resembling a band. I doubt that was a coincidence.
The further away those types are from the situation, the better. Would be amazing if something resembling normalcy could be reestablished and Axl's career get back on track.
I'm not attacking Beta or anybody like that. If her(or anyone) helped Axl through some personal issues, that's great. However, they always should have remained in the background and never given any kind of public role. Its only surprising to the blind that such a situation would lead to disaster. You had Beta for years telling people they weren't fans and that GNR didn't need them(how smart), Fernando acting like he's part of the band, and its obvious the official site was being run by one of those jokers because those official postings on the GNR site were horribly written, and not by any professionals.
All these hands hovering near the GNR cookie jar need to be removed. If I never see another post from those people, I'll consider it a baby step in the right direction. People who have nothing to do with GNR should have no say in its fate.
Axl could have easily had a career like Cornell did post Soundgarden. Didn't happen obviously, and hopefully its not too late.
Oh, I agree with you totally. What I'm saying is that usually she would be right there on mygnr calling this a lie and everyone idiots. But nothing... That says something...
You'd have to throw Del into that, too.
#11096 Re: Guns N' Roses » Your ultimate Chinese Democracy tracklist? » 909 weeks ago
Every TWAT leak followed by the released TWAT and one of the Better versions before Pittman got all over it. That's it. Mine's more of an EP.
I love me some TWAT... In the morning... In the evening... Right before bed... Anytime is a good time for TWAT.
My Tracklist:
1- Chinese Democracy
2- TWAT
3- Better
4- The Blues
5- IRS
6- Riad
7- Prostitute
8- Shackler's Revenge
9- Scraped
10- Sorry
11- This I Love
12- Catcher In The Rye
13- Madagascar
14- If The World
And I'll take the 2002-2004 versons of all the above songs.
To be honest, I still don't think Sorry and Catcher fit the flow of the album. If it was, in some alternate universe, released in 2002, a 12 track album would've been a perfect 'debut' album for the line up. Save Sorry and Catcher for that "darker" album.

That came from a "source" D. Not Azoff. So no, it doesn't confirm it as true.
I read somewhere in this thread about Stephanie's divorce coincided with Axl not lurking on the boards anymore, and with this story... That's kind of an interesting theory.
I bet if Stephanie called him today, Beta would be out of work... today!

^^ Which is why its so strange we have not heard from Beta.
Axlin, gossip sections of newspapers do lie. Look at the New York Post. They lie constantly. On people who are more than irrelevant. Mickey Rourke in the 90's was mr. irrelevant, but he stayed in the gossip papers. I'm not calling this a lie, because I don't know. I'm just not buying it 100%... Or even 50% at this point.
And it has nothing to do with me thinking "they're attacking Axl." I just consider the source. And sources make shit up and stretch the truth all the time.
#11099 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's fired and re hired Azoff 3 times in last 5 weeks! » 909 weeks ago
I just have no desire to put any energy into these types of speculation/scenerios anymore. At least not like Axlin does
Everytime something like this comes out it's either bullshit or highly exaggerated. But I have to say that I have no doubt this could be totally true.
#11100 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Bumblefoot Interview In Polish Rock Magazine » 909 weeks ago
No no no.
Don't drop this Chinese thing. I'm there for exactly the CD stuff. I want it. I want all of it. I want the Bucket songs 01-04...release that first. Then do whatever they wanna do, but I want to hear that. It's like a big void in GNR world and to just drop the entire thing and start fresh will simply make me go insane.
Yeah, agreed. Why would they have to drop the songs? That makes no sense. It isn't stopping them from writing new shit with the new guys.
