I actually think that's pretty cool. They do actually look like mini-footballs.
#16952 Re: Guns N' Roses » With CD Released; What Will/Won't Change? » 941 weeks ago
One thing that will change is we will be living in a post-CD era. We will refer to the album's material, no different than AFD, Lies, UYI or TSI. It will officially become part of the 'back catalog'.
One thing that won't change is 'old vs. new' wars. This will never go away, even if the new band were to be active for 20 years. There will always be fans who will argue which 'version' of the band is superior, most opting for the old band, no matter how superior the new band's material is.

Those calls shouldn't have even made the air.
That's the problem. TERRIBLE and unprofessional interview by Trunk. Which is a shame, because he was ace during the Axl interview in 2006.

That's the dude from Hinder on the crown? Looks to me like that guy from Buckcherry.
Either way, as much as real rock fans hate it, Hinder & Nickelback are popular. It makes sense to put them on the crown with James Hetfield & Angus Young, while Axl wears the crown.

Ron is great.
He just ain't Buckethead.

I remember when they returned in 2006, certain folks, specifically after the NYC shows were all like "this is a band", "these guys are a real band", "they're back".
And that's a cool attitude to have.
I got my ass kicked a few months later by GN'R... but as awesome as they were, it was Axl & associates, inc. - named "Guns N' Roses".
I feel the same way about Nine Inch Nails. And that's not a problem to me. But to kind of turn around and act like "hey we're a band", they'll never be a band. That's not how they are run, and it lies SOLELY with one man. NONE of the new guys.

I don't think it's a dictatorship at all Aussie.
I think these guys are musical employees. Period. They're just employees. And Axl's their boss. They can't publicly say stuff about their boss's affairs, whether business or personal.
And this has happened too many times. Ron & Chris both have no clue what made the final cut.
I can understand that maybe their parts, especially Chris' have been finished for years. I get that. But if you're a "band", you'd think it'd be a collaborative effort in the studio, even if you're in post-production. Nope. It's Axl. It's all Axl. Always has been.
My only hope is that maybe just maybe, this is Axl's baby and that maybe with future albums he'll allow "band" members to be a bit free-er and do it themselves.

Wow. Thanks for the summary Capt.
Eddie really has to be better with the callers. As soon as I heard "shout out to mygnr.com", I would've immediately dropped the call.
#16959 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot featured Guest on Eddie Trunk Friday Night » 941 weeks ago
What I don't get is why did "Beta is a bitch" type calls even get on the air? Isn't that what SCREENERS are for?
It's real simple...
Caller: "Hey I wanted to talk to Eddie about GN'R"
Screener: "Okay, what were you going to say on air?"
Caller: "I wanted to know why Beta is a such a bitch"
Screener: "Listen Slash, how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling"
Slash: "Babybooey, bababooey, bababooey"

Boneyard XL was went downhill imo.
They have gotten to where they play the fuckin' Scorpions 750 times a day.
Baz's music might get played on there because of the fact it's still a 'throwback' sound. Angel Down is in the same vein of Slave To The Grind.
CD might be too modern (yes, even for the late-90s) for Boneyard.
