Yeah but then I wonder if Axl will ensure that doesn't happen by destroying his vault.
It'll be on a time release. Axl's final act will be taken a purchased "The Bat" from TDKR and flying his vault off into the Pacific Ocean to blow up into a mushroom cloud.
Next day Rolling Stone's review headline will read "Axl Rose explosion nice pop, but without original Guns it just can't be Hiroshima or Nagasaki... 3.5/5 stars"
#1652 Re: Guns N' Roses » Hindustan Times Interview With Axl Rose » 725 weeks ago
I think Axl needs to put the Guns N'Roses band name to bed and move forward with a different identity for his music. I am wanting him to release new music, but he is wasting his life away coping with the pressures of maintaining the GN'R name.
I was going to start up my website again for a year for the next new album and have a bit of fun again, but I just cannot bring myself to do it. I also feel sorry for the band members who think a new album is going to happen anytime soon.
I agree. It's embarassing the name continues to exist because he's too lazy to work on his own as Axl Rose. He has done absolutely nothing to give reason for the name to exist post-1993, 98% of the normal world sees the actual band as "retired as Nirvana".
#1653 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2013 » 725 weeks ago
exactly ^
a song which contradicts axlins idea of going back to 1989 (tho i know lies was a yr earlier).
y'don't make business decisions on the basis of music. if the music's good enough people will get it, rather than trying to get people by making music they want.if you're treating it as a business you don't record & release OIAM.
that IS GnR. doing what you want in spite of the better judgement of others' wishes & fuck the consequences.
that's what he needs to get back to. instead of playing the suit & this bizness shit which so fascinates axlin & others. that shit is meaningless, OIAM is forever.
Axl doesn't have that band with him anymore. He was too pussy to keep them around.
So I still don't think you're point applies still. The cast of characters he has right now is BUILT for commercialism. Sorry, but it is what it is. I don't really like it all that much either, but i'd rather have SOME kind of GN'R, than none. I personally would prefer a GN'R with Axl Rose, Buckethead (no Robin or anyone else), Izzy Stradlin, Tommy Stinson, Frank Ferrer & Dizzy Reed releasing an album every two years, that's Praxis meets Nirvana meets Guns meets Stones meets Replacements. That's what music would be to me. But i'm not getting that.
#1654 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash Mention on Howard Stern » 725 weeks ago
Fuck off Slash.
You're not Dave Grohl. You don't have a successful enough act out there to do that. You're not even Audioslave.
When you suddenly join Pearl Jam, then you can say "no GN'R, or too much GN'R".
You're just not a big enough star despite what all your nutswinging fans say.
Guess what? Even Dave Grohl STILL gets questions about Kurt. Jerry STILL gets questions about Layne. And despite being a monumental worldwide legendary first-ballot rock HOF band... Pearl Jam still gets Mother Love Bone & Andy Wood questions.
Slash you will never ever ever ever ever not get majority GN'R questions. Axl still has to answer questions about you. Deal with it. Here's an idea write a hit song with a vocalist that doesn't suck.
#1655 Re: The Sunset Strip » Hurricane Sandy Benefit Show 12/12/12 » 725 weeks ago
Alicia Keys and Kanye West were completely and totally misbooked for the show. I get that Alicia Keys comes from New York, but the entire card was like 90% rock.
The crowd comes across as a rock crowd. Kanye is over (for most of us we never really cared to begin with), he is NOT a rock guy no matter how much he tries to channel Axl wearing dresses, and him dating Kim K has pretty much buried him further.
I'm not saying this to hate on the guy, I literally have no clue how he gets invited to these things anymore. If you are calling him, why not call Boys II Men? That's how over Kanye is.

"Cornell has thrived in bands that are outside the norm"
Huh? Audioslave was about as commercial and anti-SG origins as it gets.

I agree Into The Wild is stellar.
#1658 Re: The Sunset Strip » What Is The Saddest Song Ever Written? (RS Article) » 725 weeks ago
The music in Nutshell is touching but the "put on" fake element of Layne's voice makes it feel unauthentic in a way that something like "Drugs don't work" just isn't.
I have literally no clue what you're even saying here.
Nutshell is a put on? Seems pretty straight forward to me.
#1659 Re: The Sunset Strip » Slash says Scott Weiland has been "FIRED" from Stone Temple Pilots » 725 weeks ago
I always thought Scott was light in the pants when it came to talent. He pretty much proved that he is in his book....He IS a fraud. Period. I read his book.. In an hour and a half... And not in a "This is so good, I can't put it down" way, either.... He's a pretentious, money hungry fake. Anthony Keidis will flat out tell you his weird random lyrics are just goofy shit he sings that sounds cool. That they don't mean shit. I always expected that Scott's were the same kind of nonsensical hooey (which they undoubtedly are), but NOOOOO... He talks about his lyrics like they're all deep and fucking profound. He's an intolerable douche. I'm sure die hard Weiland fans loved the album... If he has them.
Slash was happy to rid himself of his shit. At least Axl is a genuinely talented, deep motherfucker...That' s probably why Slash talk shit about Scott... And is almost giddy to blow the whistle on the STP firing. He is aware of his primary musical motivation....
I'm glad somebody said it other than me, or it would've just been typical "Axlin".
I have always hated Weiland, and i've always hated Stone Temple Pilots for the posers they came across as. People bag on Creed, well STP gave birth to them imo. The band that should've had STP's success was Candlebox of the initial bag of Post-Grunge imposters.
Weiland is a horrific writer that I myself could surpass. I've been threatening for years to re-write Fall To Pieces (I probably should), not that anyone would care, but it just bugs me, because Scott basically took a fantastic Slash instrumental, and took a giant shit on it.
He's talentless, has no vocal range, can't write worth a shit, and represents a generation of poser rock from the 90's, and the fact he's got to basically beg for a VR reunion shows he's got nothing.
I would say "he should've OD'ed", but it would've martyred him and thank God he didn't die. To have heard about the "tragic loss" of Scott Weiland would've made me sick. Andy Wood was a tragic loss. Kurt Cobain was a shocking loss. Layne Staley was a heartbreaking loss. Scott Weiland is page six news and his brand of suck ass rock.
Chris Cornell = grunge / Sebastian Bach = glam... were the ONLY options for VR from day one. They fucked it up.

Lzzy Hale is so sexy. I'd like to do nasty things with her!
My dream girl. I don't throw that term around hardly AT ALL, but she'd be up there with only a couple others.
