#1601 Re: The Sunset Strip » McCartney to Front Nirvana Reunion TONIGHT- NEW SONG » 725 weeks ago
I look at it as Nirvana, but only in concept.
The bottom line is these things have to move on. I miss Layne, and Alice In Chains will never be the same without him... however it's not like I look at the current AIC as "Jerry Cantrell solo". That's just not fair. Freddie Mercury was THE rock God of them all, but in fairness, Queen is allowed to live on if Roger & Brian want to record and tour without Freddie & John.
I don't see where fans think they can dictate what a BAND does with THEIR legacy. If Dave & Krist want to add Pat to the official roster and have Paul replace Kurt and tour as Nirvana...
Why is that any different than what AIC did with William DuVall? Just because it's Paul McCartney and not some nobody doesn't change a thing.
Everytime I see them perform, yes Martin Short introduced them as Paul McCartney on SNL, and they were special guests on Paul McCartney's set on 12-12-12...
But how fair is it for NIRVANA to become Paul McCartney's backing musicians on his touring act? They carved their own niche.
In the end, I think they'll push forward with this because they all seem to like the idea, but I think they'll call it something else.
However... what is it really? They can call anything they want, in the end we'll all know what it is... "Nirvana with Paul McCartney on lead". That's what it is.
And when I file their songs away on my MP3 player -- it's already classified as "Nirvana". Why shouldn't it be? The band is allowed to live on.
P.S.
I see this different, because Kurt died, Layne died, Freddie died. The GN'R situation is different because they are all alive and Axl forced them out/they quit, whatever the argument is. Those guys are alive and have CHOICES. Nirvana might want to tour as Nirvana, but because Kurt is gone they have been robbed of that choice. So I see it different. If they want to tour and call it Nirvana and cut albums as Nirvana, I don't look at it as MY place to tell them they can't. That's up to Dave & Krist, but ultimately in the end... I see it as exactly what Sir Paul called it -- a Nirvana reunion.

I would so give Riad a karma for that one. 
#1603 Re: The Sunset Strip » Alice In Chains » 725 weeks ago
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SINGLE?
I haven't heard it. I can't find it. It's not on radio, from what i've heard. There have been no ads for it. When you go to the website it takes you nowhere. It's not on YouTube. It's not on Amazon. It's not on iTunes.
WHAT... THE... FUCK?

Half of our population? DCK I love you, but you literally are lost on this.
There are PLENTY of Democrat/Liberal/Progressive-minded people with MANY guns in their closet. Pistols in their car, etc.
This is something that reaches beyond the borders of party politics and how those types see the world. This is not a 50/50 thing, it's bigger than that.
DCK do you know what's happened here in America since the tragedy?
GUNS SALES HAVE SKYROCKTED
That's right, SKYROCKETED. Ammo sales are up.
It might not make sense to Europeans, and frankly I don't know how much sense it makes to me, but this is the country we live in. It's who we are and we love guns. We fight violence with violence, when shooting occurs, we shoot back, or want to. That's just what we do.
20 kids died as a result of a gun, and guns sales WENT UP. If that doesn't give you any idea of an American mindset, I don't know what will.
It's not changing, and despite that, it's not the actual problem. Either way, I do agree there should be a FULL assault weapons ban. I had an argument recently with my great uncle, a former Navy man who raised a Navy son and a Marine son. So we all went at it about assault weapons, and my great uncle was dead convinced we needed assault weapons in this country. Some blah blah blah about protecting against the government.
Whatever... bottom line is NO ONE can convince me of a reasonable argument why a private citizen in America needs an assault rifle. No one. I have guns, and even I can't wrap my mind around it. Like Intercourse said, "a batallion is not gonna attack your house". No man would ever hunt with an assault weapon.
I don't get at all why they even exist in private hands.
#1606 Re: Guns N' Roses » 11-21-2012 The Joint, Las Vegas (Being filmed in 3D) » 725 weeks ago
Oh come on... FUCK RIGHT OFF with this BULLSHIT.
The band announced themselves that THE SHOW WOULD BE FILMED IN 3D.... why film in 3D if you have no plans to doing anything with it???
Jarmo posted this response:
The only explanation I can come up with is that somebody went ahead and created a Facebook page a bit too soon.
Don't promote something when there's no release date confirmed by the band!Yeah, because promotion for an upcoming product is such a BAD thing ain't it....
It's 2012, and the whole mysterious "will they or won't they" bullshit doesn't work anymore. Fuck, even if it's not coming out for another 6 months, surely there is no harm in hyping the product NOW.
Only in the land of GN'R would this continue happen...
Beyond lameness, but in Jarmo's defense -- he's a "White House Spokesman" for GN'R at this point. Everything he says is political, with a slight edge, and ALOT OF BIAS.
He lost credibility years ago and there's no reason to take a thing he says seriously. He didn't even know the band confirmed it ages ago, or he plum forgot because there's so much "on and off" bullshit with this band releasing stuff, that he can't keep track of it anymore. None of us can.
And i'm sure, somehow it'll be someone else's fault. 
#1607 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash Mention on Howard Stern » 725 weeks ago
The band's popularity has survived as well, and there is a HUGE HUNGER to see it all put together again. People want to see that. Even if it were handled like Zeppelin, there's an undying appeal to see that again.
And that means there will always be those questions that keep GN'R alive. Their popularity has no died despite only three original LP's.
#1608 Re: The Garden » The Grand Theft Auto V Thread (Release Date Announced!) » 725 weeks ago
I don't see why modern Miami couldn't be used. I've been saying for years they needed to go back to Vice City. That's an area that could be easily put into a game and have all kinds of terrain.
You put oceans in it, like GTA IV, you have this big, flashy, bright, colorful city, running with crime, but a cool vibe, alot of blue (think Michael Mann's revised Miami Vice). A cool soundtrack of modern ambient, mixed with pop, with elements of grunge for the soundtrack. You add the Florida Keys to the south, creating a tropical island element in the game, similar to Far Cry 3, and to the west you put the Florida Everglades, a rural setting loaded with dangers and also water, river elements. Throw some cool ass cars in it and some go fast boats... sounds like Vice City 2013 to me.
I'd dig it. What I don't understand is how they'd incorporate all of those MASSIVE maps into one game, and one Bluray's storage space.
#1609 Re: The Sunset Strip » Scream 4 Discussion » 725 weeks ago
I like Emma Roberts in this film, but I don't have high hopes for her in the long-run. She's very basic, no real range, and no offense to her... don't have the looks to be a lead actress in film.
She may just be young, she works here, but she definitely needs alot more seasoning. Jodie Foster she ain't.
#1610 Re: The Sunset Strip » 2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Inductees Announced) » 725 weeks ago
Considering how absolutely ridiculous of a spectacle the Rock Hall is, i'm stunned rock's most legendary spectacle isn't there either.
