#17541 Re: The Garden » Wisconsin liberals trying to rig election » 946 weeks ago
Just to add, I moved since the last election and had to re-register.
I did it at college with a non-partisan guy that was encourging young students to register to vote.
I signed the registration, and as soon as it was finished he started giving me the Obama speech, Obama literature, and talking about how he was going to be working for the senator's campaign this fall.
So much for non-partisan.
I didn't turn the guy in, because i'm not like that, but I just thought i'd throw that real life experience out there for this thread. I don't think the Obama campaign is sending guys out there to plant seeds, but I have never once ever seen a situation like this, and it be someone with Republican bias.
Just sayin'

Does anyone remember when Chris wasn't a total pussy?
#17543 Re: Guns N' Roses » Richard Fortus to tour with Rihanna this fall » 946 weeks ago
If this doesn't convince folks that NEW Guns are either no more, or not got any future plans, I don't know what will.
Robin is gone, and with a BIG act - NIN
Richard is gone and with a BIG act - Rihanna
Tommy MIGHT be gone
And to all the new band fans, and I AM one, Robin might leave NIN, but it would make no sense for Richard to drop anything with Rihanna to return to Guns. Rihanna is currently a bigger act and a bigger gig for Richard. It makes me sick to my stomach to say that, but it's the truth.
At this point, unless the new band are planning some one-off shows, GN'R are either inactive AGAIN, or a reunion is being planned.
But the new band is finished imo, one way or the other.

A New Year's Show is about the only logical idea at this point for new-GN'R to still be alive, considering the fact Robin & Richard are gone, and Tommy might be.
#17545 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List » 946 weeks ago
James hit the nail on the head. I've felt for the longest time that there would be no CD tour to support the album.
The theory would be that a GN'R reunion would be marketed as a REUNION with no ties to CD, but the promotion of having CD out with the brand name of "GUNS N' ROSES" on it, would allow it to get the upmost publicity and help juice sales. I wouldn't be shocked if an anthology album of the old band's back catalog were released to be the album that would be backed by the reunion tour, even if CD was out at the same time.
It's not that far fetched imo. I think recent years, and departing band members for other projects have proven there are no future plans for a new GN'R - at all. KISS put out Psycho Circus, which didn't even have Ace or Peter, and yet they were touring as a reunited-KISS.

John Kerry led just about every poll in 2004, for awhile... Bush won. And the popular vote at that.

The GOP can't help but to take the brunt of the blame for the economy, considering one of their core values is a free market, and a free market fucked us right in the ass.

Very interesting points.
#17549 Re: Guns N' Roses » Stinson bailed? NME rumor. » 946 weeks ago
The ONLY essential GN'R songs to any GN'R show at this time is Jungle, City, Child, Patience, Rain, and YCBM.
That's 6. Those are the main songs for the casual audience. Only the hardcore AFD-ites sit back and want to hear that entire album, LALD & KOHD are covers and therefore disposable, they've went without Don't Cry before, and Estranged & Civil War hasn't been played since '93.
If you've got a 20-song set, and 14 songs are CD songs - THAT'S THE CHINESE DEMOCRACY WORLD TOUR. Not "Guns N' Roses Are Back, but not really just Axl & Dizzy World Tour Part II 2006-07".
I understand that you can't shove CD down the throats of your paying customers, especially if it has mixed reactions, but still... at least half of the concert should be CD songs, even if just out respect for the old band and their legacy, which some days, even as an Axl fan, I think HE thinks is all because of him.
#17550 Re: Guns N' Roses » Information on Shackler's Revenge » 946 weeks ago
I think EVERY track we've heard over the years, will show up on SOME release of CD. Whether it's album one or album fifteen.
I even think a new Oh My God will show up. I don't think anything has been shelved indefinitely, and the biggest reason is because we don't know ANYTHING about CD's recording process, what will be on the album, the next, or what the plan is to be.
I didn't use to think that, until I heard SR. When I heard that, I started to think that a new/finished-OMG and a studio release of Silkworms might not be dead yet. SR & Riyadh could be their brothers.
