#1131 Re: Guns N' Roses » Whats your favorite song on CD? » 925 weeks ago
The title track. Sorry and If the World tied for a close 2nd.
If I included the 2008 leaks, Riad or IRS would be in contention.
IRS would be in contention? You've been pretty outspoken against that song from the beginning. Doesn't say much for the rest of the album.

I think it's Ron doing that solo mate. I only hear bucket right at the end doing a tiny bit of the outro before and after the keys part.
My least favorite song is either Better or TIL, I'll vote for Better seeing as it hasn't been done yet.
Ron does the first solo, Bucket does the outro.
#1133 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 925 weeks ago
Yeah, all the GNR dudes were pretty spineless BUT, Axl changed fucking clothes 3 times during Civil War! LOL So maybe he really thought Axl was changing clothes and maybe he was just against the direction GNR was headed
So u tell me
Slash is the sell out for being against the big band, the horns, the wardrobe changes, the turn to electronica and nothing but ballad music?
To me, Slash quitting the band, shows he has some pretty big time integrity. Cause if he was a sell out cash grab, he would've just stayed in GNR and made way more money than he has made not being in GNR.
Where did 'selling out' come into the picture? You're kinda jumping ship here. We'll file this argument under Red Herring and call it good.
That's a pretty weak argument. You contradict your first point with your second part, not to mention the sales figures of a post-Slash GNR versus when he was in the band are much lower, the argument doesn't hold up.
Slash isn't a sell out for either of his solo albums or either VR album. He's just in his comfort zone and doesn't really expand too far out of it. Musically, there's really not much selling out going on.

"You ain't got no lemonade?! Where the fuck are we? This is AMERICA!"
This one you can't blame on the youth of America- this dude is 66. He really should know better than this. I've seen some really dumb older people where I work. Makes me lose faith in humanity.
#1135 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Elimination Final Round » 925 weeks ago
Even now, I still hold TWAT high on my CD list, as well as GN'R list.
In 2006, as soon as I heard that song, I knew "yep, this is one of the big Guns they've been holding back".
Well of course. My point was you couldn't have possibly known that it was the best song off of CD in 2006... unless you were hoarding it all those years.:haha:

Von wrote:Kids need music to listen to just like us. The more cynical people get about pop music, the older and sadder they seem. Just roll with it.
The thing about that though is when I was a kid the top bands were Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Radiohead, Oasis, Guns N' Roses, U2, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum(huge for a short stretch), Counting Crows(like SA), Offspring, etc etc. They were always more popular than the crap manufactured stuff. We had bands that were easily recognizable as instant classics where as the last ten years have produced NO top 40 classic bands. What will kids look back on 10-15 years from now? Nickleback? Maybe Coldplay? Theres really nothing. Music has changed and even though I get what you're saying Von it just doesn't add up cause the music is such an after thought compared to what it used to be. Now it's about the package more than ever. The best music back in the day was popular. It's not anymore. Look back through the decades. The best music or a huge amount of the best music was always the most popular music. That changed in the mid-late 90's. That was the era where we stopped getting mass appeal classic albums.
There are very few bands that could possibly have any real staying power years from now. Off the top of my head, the only more recent band that I could see having a following a decade from now is Avenged Sevenfold. Whether you like to admit it or not, that band is very popular and they are also very talented musicians.
I almost don't even like going to concerts anymore because of the opening bands. They are usually just loads of shit. Last night I went to a A7X/Buckcherry concert, and the two opening bands were Papa Roach and Saving Abel, and both bands sounded so much a like. The only real way you could tell them apart was by how much Papa Roach swears and how they look.
There have been very few concerts that I have been to where the opening bands were really good or stood out. One was the VR concert where AIC opened for them. Then probably the only other one was the STP concert where Black Rebel Motorcycle Club opened.

Better, GO AWAY.
I'm not shocked at all that TWAT made it to the final round. Best song on the album, and I knew that since it leaked in 2006.
It was obvious that TWAT was better than all the songs we hadn't heard yet! I mean shit man.
I vote Better.
Though really, I was hoping Sorry would win. That would have been my choice had Better been gone last round.

#1139 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 926 weeks ago
The 'Slash is a one-trick pony' mantra is just from the same source as the 'Slash is a liar' chant. Not true. Those who think Slash is a one trick pony obviously didn't bother to listen his works - that more diverse than any of his former bandmates'.
Any of his former band mates huh? I can think of a few who are way more diverse than Slash. Including his previous lead singer and the one before that.
#1140 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 926 weeks ago
I think it's truely remarkable in a good way, that someone likes all three, because the music is quite different. I love old GN'R and new GN'R, so i'm 2/3 of the way there. A good new singer, might turn me around on VR, but Weiland ain't gonna do it. Never was an STP fan.
I don't think it's 'remarkable' to like like all 3 bands. I do, though not equally by any means.
