Taken- It wasn't half bad. I like Liam Neeson and he plays a really good part in this movie.

#1143 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 926 weeks ago
This is gonna sound cliche, but this site wouldn't exist to dedicate to the new band, if it wasn't for the old band. I don't find it pathetic at all that people like the old band, and want to see them return. What's wrong with that? Nothing. Granted, they are not allowed to shit on Axl or the new guys, but there's nothing wrong with that. I like both.
This is a true statement. However, there is a place on the forum to discuss the old band, and it's not in this section. I get tired of seeing so many threads turn into Axl vs. Slash debates, but it seems Axl isn't done with that either.
I can't help but wonder if the fans bitching about Slash not being in GNR anymore isn't a cause of Axl's feelings towards Slash. Whenever he reads these forums, 9/10 times he will read something about Slash.
From the way he speaks of Slash in his interview, I think that's further proof that Sorry is in fact about Slash primarily.
But as fans, we can't exactly get everything we would like. We've sat back and bitched and bitched until we were blue in the face about how Axl hasn't done any interviews, and then when he does, he just gets shit all over by his own fan base. He did an interview, I think that's a step in the right direction. People have been so anxious to hear Axl's side of the story. Well, here's a good portion of it- but people still bitch? It wasn't what a lot of people wanted to hear. It wasn't what people wanted him to say. Too bad. It's nice to see him do an interview.

Glad he finally FINALLY made it clear that the reunion is a pipe dream. I've always hated fighting to show that chances were it was never going to happen.
To be fair, he only really said no reunion with Slash. 
On the topic of ex GNR members, I would LOVE to hear him and Izzy team up again.

I think it is pathetic that fans want the old band back together and will beat that drum all the time at a web site devoted to the new version of the band. I think it's very pathetic, and nothing anyone says will change my mind of that. I do not want BH back in the band, I'm very clear on that. He's better solo. I heard him on CD, and it wasn't the Bucket I know and love, but do you see my pining for his return. No. Some, maybe. But that's for them.
I could give two shits about how much a reunion album would sell. I want to see the band evolve. If that means, it's just Axl and a computer, so be it. Let's hear it. Bucket plays with just himself and an iPod all the time and it owns.
Axl tries to slam the door shut on a reunion whenever he "talks" publicly, but some are too thickheaded to take it in. He's trying to tell us all something, but we don't listen. Or we don't choose to listen. Go on and keep preaching how old GNR was better, how this would be so much better with Slash, how GNR will never be as successful as it once was. You know what? You're mostly right.
The difference is, I chose to move on. Others cannot, will not or simply do not want to. Good for you. Like I said. I think it's pathetic they hang out here for the sole purpose of denigrating Axl and this band. It's like a badge of honor to hate Axl and GNR, it's a badge of honor to only like two songs on the album, it's a badge of honor to think CD sucks.
Hooray for you. You've made it effectively impossible to have a positive conversation about GNR. Not just here, I understand that James, but everywhere. You guys have made a difference.
It certainly says something about GNR "fans" that the best conversation I can have about CD is over at buckethead.tk, a place that HATES, absolutely HATES, Axl and GNR. But guess what? They talk about the music. About the present. Not about the past. And that's fucking refreshing.
Great post!
I think it's an unwritten rule that every thread about the new incarnation of the band, someone will mention Slash at some point in time. And there's a good chance it will turn into the old Axl vs. Slash debate.
It certainly says something when you can have better discussions about Chinese Democracy at non-GNR sites. I'm a member of a STP site and I've had better discussions about it there. But over there they are a little anti-Axl at times, but the majority of the people discussed the music.
I am not ashamed to say I enjoy all of Chinese Democracy. There are some songs I like considerably less than others, but there aren't any songs that I hate.
It's nice to see Axl talk about this publicly. I love how he actually talks negatively about Billboard and Rueters as well.:haha:

Better.
I'm glad TWAT and Sorry are still in this. If they both make it to the next round, it may he hard to decide between the two.

Happy Birthday Axl! Best of luck with the coming year.
#1149 Re: The Sunset Strip » Chris Cornell- Scream » 926 weeks ago
Oh yes James, I meant in comparison to the rest of his resume. I guess I should have said- for Cornell, some of this song writing is just awful.
And Timbaland's contributions sound like just about everything else the man does.
After this album, I think the possibility of a Soundgarden reunion just got a lot slimmer. It's going to be interesting at the end of Cornell's career to see what his legacy turns out to be.
And this album isn't 'trying something new,' it's following what everyone else is doing. I'd love to go back in time and play this to the man who sang on Superunknown. Or maybe not... we might not have got Down on the Upside or Euphoria Morning or any Audioslave.
