#1432 Re: The Garden » Curvy women produce more intelligent children » 990 weeks ago
I have to say and god is my witness, now I am no way near a waif but as my friends here at work would attest to the kind of treatment I get in the local food places around here is unreal.
I walked into a pizza place for the first time since it opened now my girlfriend was ordering her lunch for the first time there and I was getting my lunch at the deli next door so she was in there before me. Now my friend is pretty, skinny but I guess the guy behind the counter preferred me cuz when I walked in, I was offered anything off the menu for free, anything I wanted and she was being asked to pay for it. When I was at the GNR concert at MSG on the rail in the front row, the security guard got me water for free only one other girl received water and she was very pretty as well.
I have gotten free coffee at Duncan Donuts establishments, free dessert in diners, I have had special attention from guys behind the counter at deli's where again I'll get free things or my salad will be packed beyond belief and my girlfriends don't get this attention. I am a former fatso and when I gained 70 pounds after having my kid, all of this stopped and then when I lost it, it all continued.
There definitely is discrimination for sure or in my case favoritism, I am not proud of it and cringe actually when it does happen because I do feel bad for the others that don't get treated the way I do.
As far as producing more intelligent kids, well that I don't believe, you can have a beautiful girl, skinny and she can be extremely intelligent and you can have a curvy or heavy girl who is extremely stupid.

How could you say there isn't much publicity, Baz has been talking to most every magazine, radio station, web news sites, bascially anyone he does an interview with, it's all over the place that Axl is on this album and now it will be in all the reviews. I'd say Axl is getting a ton of publicity from this.
Radio play will happen more I'd say when the album actually comes out but even with if that lacks, he is mentioned everywhere this album has been mentioned. So much so people are getting tired of Baz mentioning Axl every time.
Most music fans nowadays probably would just skip over an article or website link with Sebastian Bach. I don't know how many interviews he's done with RS or Blender etc, but sure people who read Blabbermouth etc might see it. But realistically, the album isn't going to get alot of attention. We'll see if it's even in the Target & Best Buy Sunday circulars.
I work in an office of just over 30 people, most are between 25-40, very few over 50. Add in 10-20 of my freinds, that's 50 people of this age group. If I asked every one of them if they heard about the Axl Rose news, I guarantee you none of them have heard about it. As a comparison, when the RHCP & PJ came out with albums a few years ago, probably well over 50% heard about them, including those over 40 (I remember talking with some about it), and a few bought them. Some people even were looking forward to Army of Anyone.
Again as I said, people who read Metal messege boards, GnR boards etc have heard about it, but that's a very limited audience. Even of those, only a percentage of that are interested or will buy it.
Okay I see what you mean. Well, maybe, hopefully this will reach out a bit to the people outside of this world.

YES You are correct!! 
More to come!
#1436 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Talk...... Ofcourse We Want More » 990 weeks ago
I think you very well could be right sic. He could be readying himself ofcourse we can't be to optimistic.
I think if we ever see him and Baz do an interview together and he starts mentioning anything about CD, I'd say we are getting closer. I do wonder what the rest of this year will bring now that Baz's album is set for release next week ofcourse again there could be absolutely nothing and we are headed for another silent period.
#1437 Re: Guns N' Roses » Supporting Baz [and Axl].. who will buy Angel Down? » 990 weeks ago
Thanks Mag for posting! I'll repost the actual article here.
"I'm calling all the shots tonight/I'm like a loaded gun": The shredded screech is unmistakable, but it's not ex-Skid Row throat Sebastian Bach. It's his buddy Axl Rose of Guns n' Roses, taking a break from obsessing over Chinese Democracy to join Bach on a cover of Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle." Angel Down is Bach's first solo album in eight years, yet Rose all but steals the sense of event in three duets here, which also include "(Love Is) A Bitchslap," a cheap-shock title for a bolt of crude, early G n' R, and "Stuck Inside," which pits Rose's sandpaper yelp against squealing-fuzz guitar. On his own, Bach scrapes away the hair-rock gloss of his old band for brittle speed-metal distortion and a raw, bleating vocal style with a lot of Rob Halford. There is some late-Eighties rewind in the power ballad "Falling Into You"; "You Don't Understand" comes with Seventies UFO-style riffing. In fact, more of each would have broken up the repetitive thrash that makes the latter half of the album feel like one righteously hard but overlong song.
Awesome that Axl and Bach are getting positive reviews 3 outta 5, I think is great considering alot of people think Bach wasn't going to do well.

#1438 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Talk...... Ofcourse We Want More » 990 weeks ago
Maybe not even so much a release but more talk about it from the GNR camp.
Baz talking about it is great, I am hoping that Axl sees that it's a topic that even if it's not being released this year, talking about it would really help the fact that it's still not released because it would be giving in on something regarding CD from them rather then absolutely nothing.

I have been thinking about Baz talking about some songs on CD.
Now this really has gotten a good response, take away the people who are frustrated about the volume in which he does talk about it but he is talking about it.
This isn't a bad thing, nothing negative is being said about what what Baz is saying, I wonder if Axl can see how for lack of a better word, harmless, talking about CD is. We enjoy it and are willing to read it and listen, I wonder if that will influence him to free up the reigns a bit.
Ofcourse Axl has his reasons for not talking or the band talking about it but I wonder if this is a forshadowing of the future and that we will hear more soon.
