I have to agree the editing at that part was a poor choice. 
All in all a great segment!
#1474 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Is 'Like A One-Man LED ZEPPELIN' - SEBASTIAN BACH » 990 weeks ago
I find this interview to be a good one, we are hearing more about him and info behind Angel Down.
Baz has giving us more information about Axl, then Axl has this year so I for one, have no problem with him talking about Axl. I really don't see what the problem is. If there is zero news about Axl it sucks if there is someone speaking about him all the time it still sucks?...I don't get it.
Don't say because he is using Axl, bottom line is he is giving us information and that's what we want isn't it. The reason it seems like he is talking about him all the time, is because we post every article for one and you have to remember he is doing different interviews for different mags or shows or articles for over seas and what not and they all get posted and talked about on the forums thus seeming like he is saying it over and over and over again. But simply people that don't read Blabbermouth may read Rock Confidential, we read everything.

Still a pretty decent read. He's the BBF of the old band, nice guy brought in out of nowhere. I imagine he had to be stoked when he got that call back in 1991. Yeah, I don't think he'll get a call from GnR again. He filled a need, that was all.
You're right! Never thought about the comparisons to BBF as far as fan friendly and just all around nice guy.
I doubt he would too. Imagine if they brought every person to grace the GNR stage man that stage would be packed!
#1477 Re: The Garden » Fatal shooting at Finnish school » 990 weeks ago

The shooter was, in fact, an idolator of Eric Harris, the other half of the Columbine massacre.
DoubleTalkingJive wrote:Hmmm, are these people who have wronged him or he just picked out of the school that he felt, should die because they are unfit what does that mean??
The grapevine is that the only person with whom he had a personal grudge was the high school principal, all other victims were apparently selected randomly during the first few minutes as the shoot-out began. Moments later, the principal confronted him outside the school premises; some students, now barricaded in nearby class rooms, observed the events through the windows and witnessed him order the principal to kneel on the ground and shoot her point-blank in execution style.
The next day, the Finnish government began their major rethink on local gun control. Currently, minors between the ages of 15 and 18 can acquire a firearm for the purpose of sport or hunting with the consent of a guardian. However, any new ruling on the matter wouldn't prevent a new Jokela situation, as the shooter was already an adult and had obtained his handgun through a membership in Helsinki Shooting Club. The last time HSC made it to national press was when a 30-year old IT expert shot and killed three men to death on the range in 1999. She was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and has received treatment in a local mental institute to this day. Debate was raised on whether restrictions in HSC and similar shooting clubs should be raised throughout the country, but in 8 years, nothing of consequence came to be.
You reap what you sow, unfortunately.
I am not surprised that he admired Eric Harris as the shooting does put Columbine in ones head.
It's very hard to obtain full gun control and take matters like this against the gun clubs and stores. I am sure it's looked at that is it not the fault at how they obtained the gun, beit an adult and if obtained legally. wWhat happens after that transaction fully exonerates them because it's not the their responsibility how the gun is used and should be the responsibiliy of the person who used it. In some ways, I find this to be true however, I do think that psychiatric tests should be given to anyone that wants to purchase any kind of firearm, then maybe it would cut down on some of the massacres and other killings that go on.
I don't even know if this is a standard procedure already, if it is, then I applaud the powers that be in this arena for trying to do something preventative when it comes to gun purchases, if not then they should start.
#1478 Re: Guns N' Roses » What Did You Guys Think Of This Rant...? » 990 weeks ago
Slash probably misses Axl's wild talent but not the garbage that came with it..
I don't blame him for being really pissed about Axl not going on stage. That must be agonizing when you love the experience so much and you can see the fans waiting, primed, begging for you to get out there and blow them away.
Very few artists understood Axl's reasoning for abondoning his job as front man when he was needed so badly so many times. For most artists playing live is the pinnacle of the experience. I've been there on a tiny scale and a good gig is an out-of-body experience it rocks so hard.
All the former members were pissed with Axl for this and I'd say that kind of emotional brinkmanship could cause more booze and alcohol problems for the others as they tried to steady their frayed nerves.
When you're 23 years old and have 100 people depending on you for their paycheck and millions of people around the world paying big money to see you play and your singer cannot be trusted to show up no matter what logic is tried on him... that must be a pressure NONE of us can imagine.. What would you do to calm yourself when you can have ANYTHING you want to ease the nerves...drink anyone? joint? line of junk?
They were boozing and doing drugs waaay before they even made it big, they just did alot more after that and before the UYI tours which Axl did most of his no shows, I don't think they did any more boozing and drug use because of it, IMO.

Guns n' Roses refuses 'Rock 'N' Roll' on Broadway
The "Rock 'N' Roll" that opened on Broadway this week is almost identical to the version of the play when it premiered in London.
But in New York, there is no Guns 'n' Roses. Specifically, the song "Don't Cry."
"We weren't allowed to use it," playwright Tom Stoppard told a TimesTalks audience gathered to see him while the play was still in previews in New York.
He said he liked the song and was still hoping Guns n' Roses would grant permission to use it here. But when opening night arrived, the song was missing, replaced instead with The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry."
The drama -- which is in part about how listening to your favorite rock 'n' roll records was an act of defiance in Communist Czechoslovakia, but that giving it up, even a little bit, could lead to the slippery slope of totalitarian capitulation -- is punctuated with loud snippets of music important to the defiant Czech music scene. The Rolling Stones "It's Only Rock 'n" Roll," John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance," The Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man," and Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine" are among the songs featured -- along with songs from Prague's oft-imprisoned The Plastic People of the Universe.
The Rolling Stones first concert in Czechoslovakia actually factors into the drama of the play. When the Stones played Prague on August 18, 1990, it was in the massive Strahov Stadium, the largest (or second largest,) sports stadium in the world, which until then was famous as the place that hosted the Communists' mass calesthenics exercise spectacles. (As in thousands of people doing jumping jacks in unison.) So it was rather remarkable when the freshly-minted democracy got a presidentially-requested visit from the Stones. (Read the New York Times concert review.)

Sounds like an interesting play with some good music. I think I might check this out. Although it'd be better if Don't Cry was able to be used. I wonder why in London, which has an incredible theatre district as New York, permission was granted but not for Broadway.
#1480 Re: Guns N' Roses » Supporting Baz [and Axl].. who will buy Angel Down? » 990 weeks ago
I am definitely picking up the album.
You Don't Understand - I immediately liked this when I heard it on the Eddie Trunk Show
By Your Side - Awesome Ballad
Our Love Is A Lie - Another really cool rocker
This really is a good album as far as I am concerned, worthy of my money
