Agreed. These guys have no clue what they are talking about.
I can listen to Floyd, and it still be an absolute trip, and be totally sober/clean.
#17672 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will you still buy CD? » 947 weeks ago
Reckless Road is excluded from that statement, and unfortunately I have yet to pick that up.
Canter is a good guy, that's one of the few to have seen it from all sides.
#17673 Re: Guns N' Roses » Del James Interview » 947 weeks ago
Pax, if Del is a good friend, and Axl likes him, that's great.
But that's not how he comes across. He comes across as an obsessed fanboy, that thinks Axl is his exclusive and ONLY friend. He's like the insecure wife, who marries your best friend, then suddenly steals your friend away from everyone that's always known him.
Del might be a good guy, and i'm way off on this, but Del & Beta go on and on and on about Slash on EVERYTHING, and it's such old news. No one cares, and it comes across as really really weak ass. Axl is a big boy. If he has some shit to say about Slash, he'll say it, and I have NO DOUBT in my mind that he would. For a long time, Matt Sorum came across the same way with Slash, except Matt actually was IN the band. But he used to do the same shit against Axl. Like he 'spoke for Mr. Hudson'.
This whole old band breakup, from day one, on BOTH sides has been like a bad nightmare of a CUSTODY battle. The husbands friends talk shit about the wife, and the wife's friends talk shit about the husband, and in reality NONE OF THEM other than Axl himself and Slash himself know the exact story.
#17674 Re: Guns N' Roses » Baz Canadian Tour Cancelled. Opening for major act this fall? GNR??? » 947 weeks ago
Thx Pax.
If Baz is opening for Coop, then that would count as a 'big act'.
#17675 Re: Guns N' Roses » IGN: Shacklers Revenge Hands-On » 947 weeks ago
Yeah, it does sound different. I'm thinking that one dude was right that the version that was floating around a couple days ago, was just a remastered version of the leak.
#17676 Re: Guns N' Roses » The silence on the eve of RB2 is deafening! » 947 weeks ago
because so much depends on how people react to the first song by 'new' gnr, they keep quiet, unless the crowd goes wild and starts demanding it played by stations.
its like hoping it will explode into the scene on its own and becoming popular without much mention or promotion by the band itself....rather than promoting it heavily and then failing, which would be a disaster in many ways....see Oh My Gawd, although that wasnt heavily promoted too, but still much more than Shackler.
i think, hehe.
That's actually a very smart observation.
It would be very GN'R to just sit back, judge reaction, and if no one even blinks at SR, they'll just pretend it never happened.
But that's the problem with this whole new-GN'R thing since the very beginning. There's no confidence. The only one that seemed to have confidence in the material was Buckethead. I understand Axl needs this to be a major hit, but there does come a time you just move on. Release it. If it bombs, then you struck out at the plate, you go back to the dugout, and wait for the next at bat.
Life is like that sometimes.
#17677 Re: Guns N' Roses » No need to tour to promote? » 947 weeks ago
No, when Axl mouthed off.

You could probably just make it yourself in six seconds flat in PAINT.
Ugh
#17679 Re: Guns N' Roses » We still might get CD before X-Mas » 947 weeks ago
And just like that quote above by Axl, and the fact in 2006 he said "i'm not gonna release it until I think it's ready"... just goes to PROVE that it's Axl all these years that has impeded the release of the album.
Not us, not Buckethead, not Robin (if it doesn't get released, you watch that'll be the new excuse), not managers, etc.
And that's proven through his own statements.
I think Axl was ready to go in 1999, but the EXTREME negative reception to Oh My God pulled him back. He was ready to go in 2002, but the EXTREME negative reaction to the VMA performance caused him to pull back.
I'm not quite sure where 2006-07 went wrong. Almost everything was positive and the tours were successful.
#17680 Re: Guns N' Roses » What we expect from on official CD release » 947 weeks ago
IF it gets released, I think everything will flood in the next couple of years. IF!
No way with all these years, all this production time, and several confirmed rumors over the years out of the mouth of Axl himself, that they have three albums solidly recorded, and possibly a fourth.
No way Universal spends $13+ million on ONE album.
