I gotta say, if nothing else, I'm at least curious about the whole deal.

I wonder if someone at whomever they report to (the label or whatever) has decided to get an online presence of their own going?

Like you guys, I'm most intrigued by the "Slash and Duff" comment.


That's my take. What if the label thinks Axl is burying the GN'R brand, and it's hurting their sales?

Could they feel a need to have an alternate agenda to try to repair the brand by pushing ALL things Guns N' Roses in order to restore Guns N' Roses prescence in the world of music, whether Axl likes it or not?


No fucking way Uni MAKES money with how Axl handles GN'R. They could be making alot more if he wasn't such a fucking tool when it came to being a normal artist with actual managment in the business that don't clean his toilets.

Let's not forget the Izzy/London O2 show was originally supposed to be a PPV on the website that was suddenly cancelled at the last minute with no explanation AT ALL.

So it was a PPV cancellation before it was a theater cancellation before it was a Bluray cancellation, etc.

I understand what you guys are saying, and believe me I agree GNR is timeless.

But you talk like he's been ducking GNR interviews for years and there's unsolved questions.

He's spoken extensively in hundreds of interviews about:

- Why he left GNR
- The final days of GNR
- Creative and other differences with Axl
- The final tours of the band and associated road stories
- What it would take to reunite from his perspective

He also published a BOOK that has a COMPLETE SECTION dedicated to answering that stuff.

It's all been answered and there's no new information.

So he gets his publicist to ask people to focus on the 15 years and 6 albums since that time.....they ignored it...so the publicist called and told them they don't appreciate ignoring their interview terms.

Howard doesn't have to help Slash? Guess what - Slash doesn't have to help howard too - by sensationalising an interview by dragging back over shit he's answered HUNDREDS of times. Don't like it...don't ask him on.


Then don't go on Howard Stern's show to promote your shit.

Howard's doing him a favor, not the other way around. Howard can run his mouth for 3 hours and people will still listen. Slash is the one needing here, not Howard.

Cool to see Don Coscarelli back in the game. Phantasm remains one of my favorite horror films of all time (mainly if just for the 'Cuda; made me a Mopar fan for life).

But I never understood why Coscarelli went so campy later on in his career. I mean Phantasm III was just ridiculosly campy, and drug the film down. At least he found a way with Bruce Campbell to do campy horror with Bubba Ho-Tep and make it work. They were supposed to do a sequel to that and it died when Bruce Campbell left the project.

I enjoyed Bubba Ho-Tep, so i'm hoping this will be decent, although it looks like camp - overdose. Coscarelli's directing stuff on Masters of Horror was forgettable, even if it was a bit darker than his norm.

It would never happen. Obama has skated on thin ice for years with racists that have wanted him dead. He ever even gets gassy and short and demands you turn in your guns... his own fucking SS officers would take a shot at him.


It will never happen. We're TOO INDOCTRINATED. People equate guns with safety (yeah I know). They'd think Obama was the anti-Christ. Not that they don't already.

#1596 Re: The Garden » The Grand Theft Auto V Thread (Release Date Announced!) » 725 weeks ago

They're simply talking about how they would work Vice City into a game with GTAIV's NYC & GTAV's LA.

It would be strictly the modern GTA world. They just don't know how Vice City would be worked in, because the original concept was that flashy, color-drenched, poppy, Miami Vice-world of Miami circa 1986, and that's just NOT what Miami is today.

To me Miami has become more and more South American as the years have gone by. Almost as if it's Rio or Buenos Aires-North, rather than being as American as it might've been 20-30 years ago. Maybe they could play that up.

I said for years they needed to go international, even if it was up to Toronto or Vancouver as the very least. I'm shocked they didn't try to go to London, Paris, or Rio.

I was flat out stunned that it was in fact the resurrected Max Payne franchise (of them all) that was the first to go international, and jaunted down to Sao Paulo. I would've figured that Max would've been in NY forever, and that GTA would've been first on the seen to get the franchise out of the states.


I'm also still shocked a city like Chicago hasn't been tackled. Or maybe even Dallas. Maybe the cities are too boring. Dallas is RAMPANT with crime, and you have tons of the drug smuggling, desert angles with Mexico to the south. You could set it in Dallas, and then have trips across the border. Similar to a modern day Red Dead Redemption. Obviously Dallas is MUCH further North than Mexico, but i'm talking artistic liberties here. After all GTA: San Andreas featured LA, San Fran & Vegas, all within a minutes drive.

#1597 Re: The Sunset Strip » Scream 4 Discussion » 725 weeks ago

Not a bad analogy. To be honest, I never thought Neve Campbell has "film quality". She wasn't Jamie Lee Curtis, despite the numerous scream queen comparisons back in the late 90's, and those that thought she'd have Curtis A-list female film career.

Never happened, and it shouldn't have. Neve should've embraced her TV-caliber years ago after Party of Five. She might've done some great TV, possibly led some deep dramatic shows up in Canada, where she'd of probably been held up as a Goddess of film/TV.

Instead the only thing she's known for is the Scream franchise. I don't know how many even still remember Party of Five. It's not really televised/syndicated anymore from what i've seen.

#1598 Re: The Sunset Strip » McCartney to Front Nirvana Reunion TONIGHT- NEW SONG » 725 weeks ago

I agree. Dave & Paul already have their thing, but with Krist's involvement and the sacredness of the Nirvana name, I don't see why they would get back together unless they had new music on their brains.


The whole concept is weird ass to me still, but then again the more I think about it, Paul is THE ONLY guy I would want writing with Nirvana on the planet when I think from a "let's go into the studio" standpoint.

#1599 Re: The Sunset Strip » Alice In Chains » 725 weeks ago

$16 is a good price for Vinyl right?


I think you'll like it if you like Tripod & Dirt. The reason is Jerry Cantrell takes lead vocals on several tracks (ala Tripod), but the overall theme and melody-style of the record is similar to Dirt.

I think the record is easily as good as any from their previous catalog, and is arguably the best thing they've done since Dirt and it's massive appeal. I really don't see that as an exaggeration.
