Clearly google searches about MSL's being the guy in that 21/2/11 video are of more interest to the internet than "Gn'R".

Could MSL be the one to end Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak?

They're setting up Sting vs Undertaker.  That's the one they have to sell to get casual wrestling fans to pony up for Wrestlemania.  It's the only one that actually makes sense.  No one wants to see Barett vs Undertaker or HHH vs Undertaker or the Kane vs Undertaker for the 50th time.

The PPV buy rates have dropped and the stock has been taking a hit.  They need something to entice people to watch.

#1322 Re: Guns N' Roses » *RUMOR* Possible GnR one-off reunion for Superbowl XLVI? » 821 weeks ago

I think it's obvious that the NFL is going back to the geezer rock template after the Black Eyed Peas failed miserably this year.  I'm not buying the GNR stuff because if they perform there they almost have to launch a reunion tour.  No sense in going half way and not capitalize on the entire money train (ie full scale reunion).

I'm skeptical because this has only come from one source--kensterling.com--and those things have a way of spreading.  Anyone hear about that Jon Gruden to Phily rumor that spread like wildfire after the Super Bowl?  That rumor was started by an ex-Eagles player and mostly everyone assumed that to be the truth.  The Eagles quashed it the next day.  If it comes from another reliable source I'd take this more seriously.

The NFL usually announces the Super Bowl halftime acts in the fall (October I think) so we should know quickly whether or not it is true.

I stopped reading HTTGH when it became so obviously pro Axl.  Mygnr is unbearable now because there are just so many stupid posts there that I can't really leaf through 10 pages or so just to find one decent well written post.

I never got the entire asslicker mentality.  I mean just because you write a bunch of posts praising the band (or certain band members) doesn't mean that you'll get something in return.  It just seems strange if you're going to post an individual opinion why on earth would you want to shape it with a certain slant or bent.

I occasionally lurk at this imdb page for a tv show.  There's this one poster who no matter what the show does will automatically defend it and shape her argument towards that even if the episode in question is a steaming turd or the writing just stinks.

Izzy
Marc Canter

He played with Izzy in 2006 and said they had rekindled their friendship.  Marc Canter has steadfastly maintained that he is friends with both Axl and Slash.   I think he should stop posting stuff already or at least make up some stuff that sounds more believable.

Ooh just saw the video that Tejas provided since I always turn off the halftime show.  And yes Fergie was awful with her singing.  I guess there's a certain style that I expect to be sung with that song.  But that sounded American Idol bad.

#1326 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 822 weeks ago

I think this one's a little different than just having maybe some unreleased tracks.  He pretty much claimed that he had some documents that was damaging to the band in one sense or another.

And that thing generated a 130+ page thread on one of the Axl controlled boards.  He almost has to respond at that point.  If only to squash the Duff is returning and inevitable reunion rumors.

And I agree with axlin08, the car wreck analogy is apt.  If you cheer for a bad sports team and they have a whole bunch of off field shit that is FAR more interesting than the actual play, of course you're going to keep on watching just to see what else happens.

#1327 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 822 weeks ago

If they ever released the follow up to Chinese Democracy, I would like them to actually release all the cuts/versions of the songs from CDI on a bonus disc.  This would probably also work if they ever released a box set of the CD era.  Also, if Axl wanted to release a bluray of any show from the past tour it would be a nice enticement for the hardcores.  There are ways to work this in without having Chinese Democracy re-released.

#1328 Re: The Garden » The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread » 822 weeks ago

Thanks for the input.  Williams sounds like Jeff Fisher part II.  Luckily he opted not to interview with the Titans.

Mularkey's interviewing today and the more I read the more I'm leery of him.  The offense in ATL wasn't that great either.

Fewell's probably my choice but I'm not sure about his chances.  I think he has a shot at the job though otherwise he would have just declined the interview.

I'd sure love the Best Buy re-issue thing to be true. Am I on an island with that?

Probably.  As previously noted by others, they have boxes of Chinese Democracy still in the warehouse and in store that they can't sell.  Their financials took a beating last quarter and I can't imagine them spending any more cash on CD when they have problems elsewhere.

#1330 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » dUFF: Split allegiance puzzles an old pal » 823 weeks ago

I hope Duff continues writing these sports columns for ESPN.com.  This one and the other one where he said the NBA was dead to him were great to read.

He's pulling for the Packers to win I think.  I can't imagine him rooting for the Steelers considering that the Seahawks got jobbed in that Super Bowl.  Plus I think he used to have Packers pajamas or something like that.
