#1721 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose on India » 727 weeks ago
Axl Rose, the lead vocalist of Guns n' Roses, who are all set to perform in Delhi on December 12, talks about what's in store for their fans in India.
On performing in India
I've always wanted to play in India. We've tried to make that happen but for whatever reasons it just didn't work out. We're all looking forward to coming there and performing for everyone." When asked if he plans to travel to places apart from the cities he's performing in, he replies, "That would be great! I'm sure the rest of the guys and crew will visit some other places. If I'm lucky I'll be able to. Mostly I focus on the shows but if I have time I'm excited to explore India."On Indian spirituality
I'm interested in having a personal, first- hand understanding of spirituality and religion as well as politics and government in India," he says. We pointed out that his Wikipedia page says that he had a keen interest in past life regression. Seeing as India is regarded as a spiritual haven by many, was that something he was keen to explore? "I'm not sure that what I personally believe or not is really out there publicly," he replied. "Lots of people say and twist things and have done so over the years for their own purposes based on gossip, hearsay, unsubstantiated media nonsense and even outright lies, especially when money may be involved and/or if they're trying to make problems for others. I do like to explore and consider lots of different concepts, ideologies, belief systems, religions etc, and have an understanding of what others feel, think or believe, but in my opinion, ultimately what one "believes" is their own business."India as a music destination
It does seem like bands or the touring/concert industry is really trying to make an effort to include India in their tours, more so now than in the past which I think is a good thing," he says about the recent trend, adding that he would be open to collaborations while he's in town. "With regard to collaborations with Indian artistes, I think there's always the possibility of collaborations anywhere with nearly anyone."
I can finally say...
Axl Ro$e

on guitar, there's just no two ways about it.
I pretty much agree with this as well. As soon as Axl took the "industrial freak show" gloves off of Fortus... he turned into Slash redux.
I personally would rather just see Ron & DJ canned, GN'R go back to being a hard rock outfit, put Richard on lead, and bring back Izzy, an actual rhythm player on rhythm. That or put Tommy on rhythm, and put Duff on bass.

No offense to Ron, but i'm convinced at this point he's just there to throw a solo on to something and nothing more. The bridging and actual writing will probably be handed to DJ, Richard and maybe even Tommy on a new record imo.

What's amazing is that Chiefs coach went right back out there and coached and did post-game press after he just saw that 25-year old kid turn his head into Campbell's Chunky Pot Roast.

Where the fuck is The Dark Knight?
I think that movie did like $950mil worldwide?
#1726 Re: The Garden » The Rant Thread » 727 weeks ago
Yeah. I mean use the Highlander or vampire-angle. Immortality. Think of the emotions they go through getting attached, then their loved ones dying, while they never age and get older.
That's a hard emotion to deal with, and one that I and probably others have dealt with alot.
#1727 Re: The Garden » World War I » 727 weeks ago
I got schooled on WWII from ages 10-13 and then since I took History as a class in school got taught "Road to WWI", WWI, Rise of Hitler and Road to WWII.
WWI isn't as talked about today because History is written by the victors. WWI did not have a great influence from the US (they only joined for the 2nd half). The allies would not have won WWII without the help of the US, and as the United States have pretty much been the world's biggest superpower since then and as mentioned earlier WWII has more "iconic" moments, it's not a surprise it's more talked about.
On top of that Hitler is the best heel there is, was and ever will be.
Haha, you gotta admit... the guy knew how to do a good work.

I also think in some ways good food is -- art.
I think people put their feelings, personal taste, and honor into dishes and when they're questioned -- they flip.
I never had the heart to tell my friend he used too much of a specialty seasoning. He grew up on it, and was taught to use it by his late grandfather. Problem is... he used WAY too much of it. Food tasted terrible with THAT much on it. But I couldn't bring myself to tell him "no thanks".

I love the mountains... adore them.
I just feel that if I can't get there by car or horseback, i've gone high enough. That's all.

I completely disagree. Ron needs to be kept away from anything Robin did.
DJ is the only guy than can make it tolarable. I'm sorry, not really trying to piss Russ off, but that's actually been my biggest issue with Robin and his NIN-style from day one... my ears rarely like it. The only times I ever liked Robin's stuff was when it was more melodic and less experimental/eccentric-sounding. DJ pretty much made the This I Love solo 10x better imo. DJ's take was the first time I ever even liked that solo. Even when I listen to the studio version now I want to lay DJ's live solo over the top of Robin's.
jmo
P.S.
Might actually be an AWESOME option for Robin's stuff tbh, even though I said "only" above. Richard has a real Slash-style to his playing on quite a bit. He might not use as much modern-melody tone as DJ, but Richard might could take Robin's stuff and return it more to a traditional old GN'R sound.
