#1431 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Rolling Stone Review-Chinese Democracy » 939 weeks ago

Great review!  I love the last line of it.  It seems to sum up the spirit of Guns N' Roses as they now stand.  Axl still doesn't give a shit.

I wouldn't know.  Apparently i was out of the loop with the other one. 16

I did it just to support GNR.

I agree.  I took that line "Nobody owes you, not one god damn thing" to be about Slash, Duff and Matt.  They have acted like Axl owes them an apology, as well as many other things, over the years. 

That was a great analysis Polluxum.  The more i think about the song, the more i really think it's Axl speaking out against everything that's been said to him by former members.  In my mind, the Buckethead solo just adds more credibility to this.  It's him taking Slash's work to the next level.

Catcher in the Rye could have been an increadible song.  The outro is horrible.  The song lost a lot of emotion through tinkering.  And the solo needs to be thrown out. May's solo fit the song better. 

Just way too much going on.  This song i feel is a prime example of overproduction.  Way too many guitar and piano parts added for the song to really live up to it's potential.  There's a piano/guitar part around 1:44 that just doesn't work for me. 

And then the mini guitar solo around 2:02 (the ones that's way high in the mix) also needs to be thrown out.  That synth orchestra part they had there before was just amazing for the song.

Catcher in the Rye and The Blues- raped.

I say no.

I can choose who i pm and who i ignore.

#1436 Re: The Sunset Strip » Timeless Albums.. post-1990 » 939 weeks ago

Soundgarden- Down on the Upside (for reasons James posted)
Alice in Chains- Dirt
Rob Zombie- The Sinister Urge
Stone Temple Pilots- Shangri-La Dee Da

I pick Shangri-La Dee Da for similar reasons to why i picked Down on the Upside.  Both those albums were the best albums by those bands, and they were the farthest away from the 'sound' that made them famous.  Neither one is even close to a grunge album. 

Those albums kick the shit out of most of what's been released this year.

#1437 Re: Guns N' Roses » Which is single worthy? » 939 weeks ago

If Sorry is about Slash, it certainly beats the hell out of any attacks Slash has ever made on Axl.  Slash talks a lot in the press- Axl writes an amazing song with an increadible solo from Buckethead.  It doesn't get much better than this. 

I agree with you on The Blues James.  The 2002 version of that song is simply increadible.  The current version, not even close.  The lyrics are increadible either way, so at least from that aspect it's still one of my favorite songs.

Right now i'm really liking Sorry, Riad, Chinese Democracy and This I Love.

I think we might let you stay around.  16

And with the management team we have here, this place will not be like HTGTH, MyGNR or CD.com ever. 

I can tell you though, when GNR looks for opinions, they come here.  9

i diunno what yet but i'm thinking a musical biography type of thing


Nikki Sixx - Heroin Diaries or the Dirt
Reckless Road by marc canter
A Nirvana or Kurt Cobain book

any other suggestions for good musical biographical reading?

or suggestions on any book which you've enjoyed and would suggest that I read?

Reckless Road was alright.  Nothing really new or enlightening about it. 

I do want to pick up Heroin Diaries.  I've heard that's a damn good book.

I would suggest, if you liked the movie 300, Gates of Fire.  That's the real events behind the movie 300 (the book came before the movie though).
