Agreed. Obama is a very moving man, with the ability to make you believe (he's certaintly moved me at times), but just because he's a good public speaker don't = good president. Carter, prime example.

Same for McCain. Experience don't mean shit. On paper, George H.W. Bush was the most qualified guy EVER for that job, YEARS in Washington, time in the service, head of the CIA, VP for eight years, etc... - weak ass president.

So they BOTH better start talking about the issues. The only person that seems to be doing that is Sarah Palin. You know, little miss dumb chick. She's the smartest one around lately. Obama keeps BOMBING HORRIBLE at fuckin' punchlines, McCain keeps trying to convince everyone around he's for 'change', Biden just spouts of about George Bush III in an almost drunken manner...

It's just really lame. Would you guys stop dickin' around and playing fast and loose with this election, and start talkin' turkey. Palin is sitting around looking like the classiest and smartest one of all, and probably the biggest thing she ever had to worry about was how many moose hunting licenses to grant in a year.

I need to grow up? I NEED TO GROW UP?

Are you kidding?

I come from a country that's NOT anti-semetic. I come from a country that provides WOMEN rights.  I come from a country that doesn't persecute people because of their religion or kill them because they aren't the right religion. I come from a country that provides MINORITES rights. I come from a country that a GAY man or GAY woman can at least walk down the street (hopefully get married one day), but we're getting there.

AND I NEED TO GROW UP?

That's fuckin' rich. All those cats that don't provide those things, in any of those countries, and still live like it's 50 years ago, and in some places 500... you'll have to excuse me if the word RAG HEAD slips out now and again.

I remember that quote, but that's not how I took it.

I think what Tommy was getting at, was that some of the songs are epics, i.e. TWAT, If The World, #2, but even the new band epics are only about 6-1/2 minutes total.

There would be no Coma, or Estranged or November Rain, clocking in at 10 minutes long.

Bands don't tour to support albums anymore. I mean, I know they DO, but it's not really necessary to established brand names, like - GUNS N ROSES.

They'll use the Rock Band 2 promotion, which I can't remember if it was Rock Band or Guitar Hero III that had Motley Crue's Saints of LA, which ended up being MORE successful than iTunes.

Rock Band 2 is gonna provide major promotion, and major word of mouth, that combined with some singles, and maybe a couple of SIMPLE (yes Axl, SIMPLE) videos, should do the trick, with no tour whatsoever. Understand that even with GNR's major marketability, MTV, MTV2, and even VH1 for the most part have moved past these acts.

GN'R might be a big marketable act, but just like other timeless artists such as Bruce Springsteen & Queen+PR, and other metal acts like Motley Crue, & Metallica, who are probably going to see the most major exposure through one network - VH1 Classic.

Which will no doubt be enough. If Poison can still get major exposure because of that channel, GN'R will be a piece of cake.

Another net that might be majorly interested in Guns is the pro-emo network Fuse. Most of their stuff is gay, but they have a big interest in throwback artists, especially ones like GN'R or Metallica or even Nirvana for that matter, that are still popular with the younger generation.
