#1201 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dizzy Reed Opening Chocolate Exposition in Mexico » 928 weeks ago
I personally don't have a problem with any star making appearances or whatnot, but I can see how some people could cringe at the sight of Slash sharing the stage with Fergie. It doesn't bother me though, if that's what they want to do, who am I/who are we to stop them?
Although with that being said, I'd have a tough time accepting someone I admire appearing on American Idol or some shitty show like that.
What's worse than Fergie was sharing the stage with Bill Gates. 
As for Dizzy... It looks like he'd be more at home at a horror movie convention with how he looks.
Seriously, what the fuck is he doing with a giant strawberry?!
#1202 Re: The Sunset Strip » SEBASTIAN BACH: 'It's Nobody's Right But Mine To Put My Art On The Int » 928 weeks ago
Bach is an idiot. What he doesn't seem to realize is that without these youtube videos featuring his music nobody will even hear his music. He's so irrelevant he should actually be thanking the guy who's using his material. Bach is getting free promo and there's a chance someone who hears it will like it and then go buy his albums. If they don't like it oh well. But either way NOBODY is buying Bach's albums. The guy probably has a better chance of selling albums by having people upload his music onto youtube.
I agree with this right here.
Putting his songs on youtube is NOT the same as uploading them on your site for anyone to download. He used clips of songs. People watch those vids with the clips (watch, not download), and then if they like the song, they may go out and look up more stuff by Bach. Then if they like that they may go and buy the album, or at the very least download it.
Either way, he gets more promo. Let's say Baz goes on tour. Since that person likes him, they may go and see Baz in concert, maybe even pick up some merch while they are there.
Sebastian Bach is not exactly a household name with the younger generations, so he could really use all the 'new age' promo he can get. Plus the fact that he's now so old it's almost cool to dress like him again... that really means he needs to get with the times and accept this. He does own the music the kid used, but he needs to look at both sides of the picture.

That's a lot of equipment!

this just reinforces my comment that some peopel are "brainwashed" by the leaks....some people have listened to the leaks so much that the final product just seems off cuz its different from what you've come to know and expect in that particular song
for me i was never that enthralled with catcher but hearing the final mix i think its pretty awesome, somethign about it...amybe it seems a bit heavier and modern? i dunno, but I just like ron's tone more than what i remember of brian's tone on the song
I think you're going too far to call people brainwashed by the leaks.
For me, it's personal preference. It's not like I like Bucket's solo better because I heard it first, it's because I honestly believe it fits the vibe of the song better. Same goes with May's solo.
If it were the case that I wouldn't like new contributions because I have come to expect certain things from listening to the leaks, I wouldn't like the new stuff in CD, or the final mix of If the World, or Madagascar, or Better, or TWAT- but I think the final mixes of those songs all turned out better than the demos.

this coming from a big BH fan who couldnt tell if it was BH or BBF who was doing the massive solo at the end of the track, but i do seem to recalll that you thought it was great no matter who did it
You have a good memory. I couldn't tell at first because it had no distinctive Bucket style. You also are right that I said I liked it, and I did/do.
Most others here, as our survivor poll reflects, don't feel the same way.
I'm not a ron hater or fan, but I'm a fan of GNR, and other than his rhythm work on CD, he did not impress me. And I definitely feel I'm in the majority on this one, not just because we're all Bucket fans. Robin's work is better than his too, and I'm no Robin fan either.
I agree with you here. It's not an insult to Ron, he's a very talented guitar player from what I've heard from him. But his solo just really doesn't fit in Riad or Catcher. It interupts the flow of each song I think. For Catcher, I prefer the Brian May solo and for Riad I prefer the Bucket solo.

Thank You Axl, it's a shame the world lost such a talented artist.
Some of the best stuff on Chinese Democracy are Axl's contributions. The world hasn't lost him as an artist. They lost the chemistry GNR once had.
#1207 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Elimination Round 6 » 928 weeks ago
Prostitute should be in the final 2 or 3. It's one of the best songs on the album.
I can't believe so many are trashing it.
It's a good song, i just don't necessarily feel it's better than what we have up there. I think after Prostitute i'm voting Catcher.
#1208 Re: Guns N' Roses » Lars Comments on "Better" Video » 928 weeks ago
Like Axl has said before, there are many complications we don't know about. I believe him on that. I also think that part of that could be him wanting things his way. The Best Buy deal was him giving in to some regard though. He said he wasn't happy with the finished product (ie the booklet) and said he had a different plan in mind.
Of course releasing the album with little promotion wasn't the best idea. I have to imagine it feels like a huge weight has been taken off his shoulders.
I have no problem with there being virtually no promotion for this album. Axl could never show his face again in public and i'd be happy with the music we've gotten. He could never show his face again but keep releasing music with no promotion and i'd be happy.
Of course, i would love it if GNR went on tour again. I have yet to see them live.
#1209 Re: The Sunset Strip » U2 - Acoustic Achtung Babies » 928 weeks ago
Hey when people come at me with shit, saying I'm saying my freinds opinions are more important than anyone elses or that nobody cares what my friends think when I'm clearly using them as my general public gage it's fucking retarded.
Bono: I've gotten some mixed reviews on the song
Whoever: From who Bono? the general public or your friends?
Bono: Of course not my freinds. Why would I ask them. I'm looking for reactions from the general public and clearly my friend's do not make up the genreal public.I'm not being defensive Neemo. I'm calling a guy on his obvious bullshit. It's clear FlashFlood is just itching to get in here and discredit my opinion on everything I've said regarding CD. Nevermind the fact CD has nothing to do with this. He's waiting for me to go all fanboy on you guys.
Sure your friends make up a portion of the general public, but are they a representative portion?
Sorry, this whole argument is dumb. I'm on your side Bono. Now i HIGHLY doubt all of your friends are huge U2 fans, so i think it's a decent judge of how the song may do. I'm not a big U2 fan by any means, but this song sounds good to me. I can see it being a hit on the radio.
#1210 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Elimination Round 6 » 928 weeks ago
Gonna be a close call in between Better, TWAT, TIL and Sorry.
Next to go:
CD
Prostitute
ITW
CatcherIn this order, mark my words.
If you're right... wow...
I thought for sure Prostitute would go before CD.
