You guys need to stop picking on Fox News. NBC/MSNBC haven't ever told a bad story about a Democrat in their entire life.

The Blu-ray is allegedly a cross between the Cundey transfer and the Divimax transfer, with the day scenes being similar to the Cundey one and the night scenes being the same as the Divimax. I personally think it looks great. I've seen comparison screen shots and I think the blue filter was oversaturated on the Cundey version. I don't give a damn if it's what he originally intended. The Blu-ray looks a fuckload better. Here's a post over at High Def Digest where the poster took comparison pictures while watching both on his HDTV:

Notice, especially in the picture of the house at the bottom of his post, the large difference in detail. The pumpkin is almost unrecognizable in the DVD one and if you look at the side of the house, the blue filter seems to take away detail on the window and its frames.
There is still a blue tint to the night scenes, it's just not ultra saturated like the Cundey version.
For the first time, I watched Halloween: TV Version (1999) tonight on Blu Ray. The standard DVD upscaled on the player.
It was magnificent. The best it's ever looked.
I can only imagine the film looks ever better on an actual Blu Ray disc... the theatrical cut of course.
Currently watching: Halloween II

See I don't see anything wrong with the "our president" mindset. What's wrong with that? Black culture is totally different from white culture, and what's important to the black community, alot of the time is entirely different from the white community, and NOT in a racist way. They just have different priorities. All presidents that have come before have been white. Black voters for years have been voting for "the lesser of two evils", because maybe BOTH candidates didn't represent them the way they thought they should.
Obama is the first guy they believe will see things from their side of the fence.
There's not going to be a race war. This isn't racist.
They believe that Obama will understand what goes on in the black community and what is important to that community, and he might tackle some issues, no other president before him has even thought about. There's nothing wrong with that.
Obama himself said. When those Black Panther wannabes showed up at his rally and challenged him on "what he'd do for the black community". Obama said he would unify all Americans, all races, and if the black community didn't feel he represented them properly, they could feel free to go out and vote him out in four years, or run themselves for office.
That's what the guy said. That was one of Obama's finest moments imo.

According Axl, Slash was the one to force Steven out of the band to begin with.
Maybe Slash being his good buddy, was all an Illusion to begin with Steven.

The way I look at it Neemo, you're not spoiling anything. The album will be released in a few weeks. The wait is ALREADY over.
#16836 Re: Guns N' Roses » Moved due to album details revealed. » 940 weeks ago
Aussie hit the nail on the head with my opinion.
This is the exact kind of stuff that drives me crazy, in reference to Live Free. They come to this site (or any other), drop some exclusive information, but only put one foot into the water. Then sit back and withhold information, for whatever reason. Even if nothing is meant by it, it comes across as "na na na na na, I know something you don't".
That stuff RIGHT THERE is what pisses people off. It comes across as petty, childish, and everything i've been talking about for the past day or so on all these 'board' threads. People get off on thinking they know something the average man doesn't.
Just for example, because of who I am...
If I had a personal 20 minute conversation with Axl over some drinks in a club, and he told me all kinds of shit about the band and the upcoming album.... NONE OF YOU WOULD EVER KNOW IT. Not until the album was at least out, and still then I would hold back.
Is anything sacred anymore?
But no, if Axl tells someone something, 16 seconds later it's on the net, by some jackass beating off that he got to talk to Axl Rose. Who fuckin' cares? We don't, and Axl certaintly doesn't...

Damn shame.
Ya know, Adler should reunite with Axl. Sounds like the two have a lot in common.
Apparently not. He's not sitting back fucked up on drugs, and whining about reunions.
Not to mention, current-GN'R, albeit a couple UYI-styled ballads, sound nothing like the old band.
As for the Matt Sorum comment, the only piece of shit I see is the one on Celebrity Rehab. I guess you just have to understand that Steven is a very very sick man.
People who sit back and just lambast people who think a reunion should feature Matt on drums, or even Frank Ferrer, need to really see this. You need to get a real idea what Axl & Slash have been saying for years about this guy. His time with GN'R was done in 1990. It's never ever going to happen again, and that's because of Steven himself.
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".

Agreed! er....except maybe the beginning to scraped! (bad bad bad)
With the kind of technology that exists these days on the common computer, it'll be very interesting as to what fans will do with these final versions, when they have demos sitting in their hands already.
I'm expecting all kinds of remixes for the next decade.

Axlin08 wrote:I wonder who the mysterious contributor is? Paul? Izzy?
Mr. Dizzy Reed.
Seriously.
Why would that be mysterious? He's been a fuckin' bandmember since 1990, and both Axl & Chris both have talked before about Dizzy's contributions to the album.
It's not a shock.
#16840 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Special editions now on Best Buy » 940 weeks ago
In today's time, Special Editions are common to entice buyers to spend more money on albums, especially with an album as storied as CD, i'd be shocked if a Special Edition is not in the works in some form.
Whether it be HMV in Canada or Best Buy in the U.S., it might've been a company organized thing.
Like making a package that includes both CD & GH for like $14.99. Just a theory.
