#1151 Re: Guns N' Roses » All sorts of Beta rumors etc over at mygnr - any thoughts? » 689 weeks ago
Yeah I completely agree. The MyGNR thing is... umm... ok. I've tried on two other occasions to swallow that board and I just can't seem to. I actually think MyGNR is WORSE today than it was 10 years ago. Seriously.
Like all things in life that attract a superstar like Axl to it, people who had never ever even clicked on the board, suddenly get attention from those who will spend years for "the next sighting" of the red-headed one. That then in turn attracts a whole new level of nutswinger.
The fact that the board has even stayed alive with a non-existent Guns N' Roses (let's be honest), pretty much proves my point correctly. These people will whiff up any fart of Axl's and claim it's Kobe Beef with White Truffles.

Exactly. I see it as a good thing if anything. It wets the appetite, and having that DJ-version of Better as a single with the Ron-side as a single B-side could be an interesting move to use a darker Better remix to launch the initial missle for CD II.
If anything it seems like label teasing, rather than a leak. Although I would agree in late 2013, that it seems Axl doesn't even want to record again, so all of this is probably just wishful thinking. Beta's passive aggressive insults simply exist because she's passionately tied to Axl, like a mother, which is the exact reason she shouldn't have her job. The fact she's blackmailed Axl with "if i'm not manager, than I quit you", pretty much shows she doesn't love him and is just there for her and her family to live off of his back.
#1153 Re: Guns N' Roses » In a perfect world. » 689 weeks ago
The problem with all of these theories is you're assuming this music is actually good because Guns N' Roses is associated with it.
The post-work of these guys proves they should their major creative loads by the mid-90's tops. I still think GN'R had that southern rock/grunge-inspired album in them around 1994/95, which would've been a joy, but like Alice In Chains '95, as well as In Utero or Down On The Upside, I believe would've been their swan song, literally around the same time. These guys were fried together regardless.
Alot of Slash fans think he's actually good, but truely listened to with an objective mind, Slash's post-GN'R work is incredibly average. Sure he has some guitar solos that can totally compete with his GN'R stuff, but in reality the songs are just not that good, nor does Slash have the ego to allow smarter, more talented people around him (think Cornell or Axl) on a regular basis. People talk shit about Axl, but Slash doesn't like taking a whole lot of creative orders either.
Axl's Chinese Democracy stuff was great, but was still missing something, over-baked and INfamous for a reason. Going Down, despite the love for Tommy... I hope that's a B-side. If that's the best they've got, Axl's vault has stayed hidden to keep his value UP, not down. Otherwise he's Steven Tyler, burned out alot faster.
Even if you believe in Quantum Physics, and alternate dimensions, I don't think there's any dimension that multiple GN'R albums across the span of 25 years exist, and if they do i'm sure there's a few Just Push Play, St. Anger, and Music From Another Dimension albums on there, which I would've been crushed as a GN'R fan if their catalog would've been soiled like that.
Then again Axl's "live like a red-headed bastard" show that he's doing now, has soiled their name too.
Hopefully Axl let's DJ do his thang (not BBF, not impressed with his work so far with GN'R, including on the leaks), and that Axl eventually has the guts to consult other writers.
Believe or not, as starved as I am for Guns, so much to the point i've walked away from the band completely, even the stuff that's leaked.... "needs more work", even after all these years.
So I don't think this was ever going to happen.

I actually respect Beta for what she's doing (even though i've called her names many times and stand by them), but this inherently is WHY I have ALWAYS SAID she should take a step away and SOLELY BE Axl's ASSISTANT and nothing more.
She has utterly NO CLUE how to GNR's business manager, despite how many times Axl's said the opposite. Axl doesn't need a babier, he needs someone who understand's his rebellious and disillusioned attitude towards the business, an artistic mind, yet someone who knows how to work.
In other words -- Rick fuckin' Rubin
#1155 Re: Guns N' Roses » Leaked GN'R Songs Thread » 689 weeks ago
Anybody know where to find this stuff. I assume imsorry's cut of Going Down is legit, as wells as the BBF cut of Better at Soundcloud. But where's the DJ Better and Blood In The Water?

For once the cops did something other than support their fuckin' police state, and they make a big deal out of it. Big shock.
It'd rather my tax dollars pay for marriage proposals anyways.

#1158 Re: Guns N' Roses » Curious Sorry/Shackler mention » 700 weeks ago
I am shocked those songs are from 2000
Are you being sarcastic? Even in 2000, Shackler's was 2 years late to the dance. I think it would've had a better chance at being a hit though. It also plays into what Axl was doing at the time, so not much of a shock there either. He produced Oh My God, Shackler's sister song, only a year earlier.
Regardless, White Zombie milked that cow in the mid-90's and Rob later in '98, at that point. GN'R may have their brand-name, but there was nothing cutting-edge though.
#1159 Re: Guns N' Roses » Canadian Tour? » 700 weeks ago
The Canucks don't need a tour. They need a fucking album. Like the rest of North America.
The world doesn't get one though. They had tons of tours, that should be enough.

What's this in relation to GN'R?
