#1241 Re: The Sunset Strip » 'Dallas' to be revived on TNT network » 713 weeks ago
I recently have learned now that "Dallas" producers are doing press rounds promoting J.R.'s funeral episode, airing tonight on TNT, that Larry didn't in fact film any new stuff in Episode 7. In fact, his final scenes were indeed in Episode 5. Which for anyone that watched, you could tell. His final poignant speaking scene was a "I forgive you for selling me out to Cliff Barnes" speech he gave John Ross in a court bathroom at the behest of Sue Ellen. Larry was still classic J.R., but he looked terrible. Severelyl gaunt, and VERY sick. He had to lean on the bathroom stall just to stand up. You knew watching, these were his final scenes that he filmed before he went down.
What's even more amazing is that the producers were able to cobble together new scenes with Larry from old stock footage from Seasons 1 & 2 of the new show, including manipulating dialogue in the studio from past takes, to piece together sentences that actually flowed with the scenes and made it seem like Larry had filmed new scenes. His final death scene was actually filmed at Southfork, but the backdrop was switched using CGI to make J.R. looked like he was in a Mexican hotel room, and was manipulated to sound like new dialogue with John Ross, including his final goodbye before being shot.
Normally I keep reveals like this kinda secret because it takes away from the fun, but seriously WOW. They made it flow so seemless last episode that it seemed like Larry had filmed new, or old scenes that were hidden away in a vault. Instead it was just stock footage retooled. What a helluva job they did.

I still think i'm gonna wait for the Netflix Blu-ray, with a Bruce-less Evil Dead film.

This isn't the one I used, but try this one and see what happens. I just copy and pasted, and added certain parts with tags, but mainly Italic tags correctly at the start and end of the post.

Well in that theory, it truely is ALL Axl's fault. He doesn't like finished songs being dumped on him, but he's also been interviewed and basically alluded to wanting more "initiative" out of other writers to carry his load, so it's not all him.
He can't have it both ways.

Great pics Harmon. I agree DJ is a great showman, and great with fans.
But those rare shots to see Richard, Axl & DJ all three of them in the shot, front-stage-center... pretty damn cool.

#1247 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dizzy Reed:"I’m very proud of Chinese Democracy" » 713 weeks ago
I see. Yeah...I've seen some proshots from those days that are similar to where you are getting at. It's strange because when I watched the 2012 HOB show with Robin making a performance on Better, it seemed that Tommy looked to be enjoying Robin's presence for that amount of time or it might of been just digging the performance of the whole band or just going with the flow.
seemed to have alot of issues with the band during the 2006 shows from the articles and things I saw online.
Tommy is an underrated headcase. Based on what we know now, there's been alot of coddling to keep him in the band over the years. He can be as much of a rock diva as Axl. Probably because other than Axl, he's the only other guy on stage with the rock pedigree to be a dick when he wants.

The funny thing is that he said exactly the same about the 2002 line-up back then.
Let's be real: he'll never say that his favourite/best GN'R line-up consists Slash. Dizzy knows who signs his cheques.
He said the best he's PLAYED with. And although 1991 will always be GN'R to me, any of those guys from that period were a fucking trainwreck live. They fucked up constantly. It's in-perfection is what made it perfect and sleazy.
But to Dizzy's ears, again, I see his point. Especially post-Finck suckage and broken solos (Russ calls it "re-imagining" 
), musically this is the best outfit GN'R has had in Dizzy's tenure. Frank is a better drummer, Rich plays notes more accurately than Slash, and Ron is a technical guitarist, plus a CLEAN Tommy Stinson not bloated from adema and near-dead like Duff on the UYI tour... yeah I can see why Dizzy feels they're a better outfit in comparison to his time with the original band. I don't see where DJ fits into the mold of the old band in my analogy, but maybe Dizzy's a fan, I dunno.
#1248 Re: The Sunset Strip » Motley Crue Discussion » 713 weeks ago
That's why I think Meet & Greets are fucking stupid.
Like I want some sterilized, organized, line to meet someone. It's one of the biggest reasons i've stayed away from fan con's over the years. The whole concept is just lame to me. Like i'm gonna pay a $20 dollar cover, and another $25 dollar to get an autograph.
Fuck off, you're not that important. I would rather organically meet them, or not at all. Paying for it, no thanks.
#1249 Re: Guns N' Roses » Corey Taylor talks Axl & Guns N' Roses » 713 weeks ago
I think Corey was just doing schtick, and trying to do a little stand up. I don't think he was intentionally trying to get attention, other than the jokes.
I do however think he as a young fanboy of the original GN'R sees it as absolutely absurd what it's become, and how laughable Axl calling it Guns N' Roses is. I think he has full merit there.
I just think, with Corey's comments, in this instance -- this is implied hyperbole. If anyone there took Corey seriously, or even Axl... come on man. It's obvious Corey is joking. "A piano bigger than a hummer" -- pure exaggeration. Implied schtick.
#1250 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dizzy Reed:"I’m very proud of Chinese Democracy" » 713 weeks ago
I remember being there in 2006, and Robin's chemistry with the band was S-T-I-F-F. Robin seemed to be in his own world, Axl sometimes embraced him, and Tommy looked like he hated his fucking guts. Tommy just stayed by his mic, played his bass, and didn't move at all like he wished he was somewhere else.
