#1492 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Great GNR Message Forum Sell out » 940 weeks ago
the inconsistency on GNR forums and in this thread in particular is hilarious. you guys get all up and tight and offended, overtly whining about all these guys insulting slash and bashing all these deluded axlites, and then turn around, and just as poorly, insult the new band.
some people on here (d-machine, buzz, tejanus) are so overly negative that they're as deluded and biased as the"OMG AXL IS GOD" crowd. two sides of the spectrum, both polarised opposites, but too many people act like axl worshipers are the sole problem. id much rather read "come on guys vote it up, this thing is gonna sell 5 million in its first week! hehe" than "look you fanboys, no one likes the single the only reason its getting play is because you fanboys skewed the results", however wrong either statement might be, i certainly know which one is more preferable to read.
i mean, i like guitar hero as much as the next man but fuck slash is a media whore and is as much to blame as axl in the whole fiasco, oh no am i troll now?!?!?
so many complaints about slash criticisms and all these terrible people bashing VR and poor scott weiland. yet you'll openly and stupidly say buckethead has no soul, bumblefoot and finck cant play, no one but us care about chinese democracy etc. wake the fuck up.
You know, that post would have been pretty good without the insults. Take out insults to members and the board as a whole and you raise some decent points at times.
There are those who are negative, and those who are positive. Who are we to say either one is right considering it is just opinion? People at the far end of each side of the spectrum don't exactly always have strong fact to back up their claims.
You bring up good points with people trashing VR and Scott, and then people trashing Buckethead, Bbf and Finck- the later mainly because they haven't heard their work, or in the case of Bh, there are many issues.
In my book, each band deserves respect. Without the old band, the new one would never have existed in the capacity that it has, so the old band is definently deserving of everyone's respect. The new band has put out some very good music (especially when held up to the standard to today's music). How does it compare to the old? That's all opinion, and everyone has different views on this.
Now if your post had been more like mine, maybe your karma would be at -17. You can make points without having to insult members and the forum as a whole.

Damn shame.
Ya know, Adler should reunite with Axl. Sounds like the two have a lot in common.
But you do have to wonder how much the band feels responsible for. They all partied, and had shit happen to them. Axl OD'ed, got busted for coke possession, Slash & Izzy nearly died because of heroin, Duff nearly died because of booze. Do they sit back and say, "I shouldn't have encouraged him".
I have thought the same thing. In a way, i feel they are also responsible for this to a much lesser extent. They kicked him out of the band, this man who has abandonment issues. Could the 4 of them stuck by him and helped him get clean? It's a possibility, but a very very small one. They all tried to help him i'm sure, and when it came to the point that he couldn't even carry a tune, it was time to go.
Do you think maybe him feeling bitter over being fired caused him to shut them out and deny their future attempts to help him? I know they all tried to help him as friends after he was out of GNR, but i think he shut them out and refused them because he was angry of being out of a job.
I think they all feel a little guilty in some way.

Those little gummy candies that come in the small yellow box. They're all stale because people save them up over the years or something.
You mean Dots? Yeah, those are always stale.
They're not bad if you can find ones that aren't stale. Happens once in a blue moon though.
#1495 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » New Bucket Cali. dates » 940 weeks ago
I'm thinking about heading down to the SF Bay area around the new year. If BH has any dates around that time in that area i'm going.

I thought the same thing.....it will either be Sorum or one of the new guys. Adler will never be back in Gnr.
And it's really sad for him. I don't think this show will help him any either. At the end of the day he's not going to get over these abandonment issues. It's been a long time, all they can do is prevent his eventual overdose. At the rate he's headed, it's going to happen some day.
It's a shame. This guy has (or had) and increadible amount of talent. I hope he gets his act together but i can't really ever see him being in GNR again.

#1498 Re: Guns N' Roses » GUNS N' ROSES' 'Chinese Democracy' Single Best 'Mainstream Rock' Debut » 940 weeks ago
There could very well still be a video. The videos sometimes come well after a single is released. Shinedown released their second single "Second Chance", and still haven't put out a video, tho there is one in the works.
I think a video would still be a great idea. Staggering the release of a single and a video for the single kinda gives the song a second push. First it makes news because the song is on radio, then it makes news because a video is released. It could still happen.
#1499 Re: Guns N' Roses » So what's going to happen to the forums once CD drops... » 940 weeks ago
Maybe Axl will pay hired hands to talk about how mind blowing something called Iranian Fascism is........and we'll fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
Then followed by American Democracy, which by that time will be as ironic as the title Chinese Democracy.
