I read somewhere the directors cut of the movie on BD will be 3 hours long....so perhaps that explains the awkward editing at the start - there's 30+ mins missing.
#1902 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL In ACDC??? » 529 weeks ago
I'm 100% positive Axl can still sing, especially in a studio setting. I'd think all parties would want to capitalize on this. I'd like to think we're heading into a productive era of GNR, although admittedly, I'm hesitant to get my hopes up. I kept a positive attitude from 1994 till 2015, and just felt lucky to have CD at that point. Now, I'm going to sit back, let them prove themselves again, and enjoy what may come.
Yeah I'm sure Axl would be great in the studio, although studio stuff requires the most 'faith' in GNR in terms of will they do it. After-all it's been the primary weakness of the 1995-2015 line ups - dozens of songs in the can that they can't get out - and it was also one of the primary disputes causing the breakup of old GNR.
Also in the modern era of live shows making more than records, there's also limited incentive for the band to work on new music. I deeply hope it happens...but I wouldn't be surprised if they just regrouped for a hits tour every 4 or 5 years from now on.

What's not viable though?
Guns N' Roses is one of the most famous brands in rock.
Only thing not viable is if Axl and Slash can't work together or if Axl's voice is damaged or if Axl is still suffering from whatever it is that has made him do this secrecy stuff since 1999.
Look at the recent success of Motley Crue's recent fairwell tour. That's band that has toured far more than GNR in recent years and never achieved the same cross over success. Look at aerosmith, the stones, metallica. There is plenty of market for retro rock acts with near original line ups touring the world.

. I did hear that Ben is the best on screen batman ever.. agree?
I think Ben was phenomenal as Batman. I would love to see stand alone movies with him.
This movie has a kind of a darker tone than the normal superhero movie. It explores some interesting themes that relate to flaws in the characters such as:
The pacing at the start is a bit weird, and you need to have seen Man of Steel....but aside from those comparatively minor issues, I really throughly enjoyed it as a Batman fan.
It's bizarre to me how people are disliking it.
#1905 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL In ACDC??? » 529 weeks ago
The question to me is What's Next?
Is this era the start of a "new Axl", like James said, who will go back to his 1987 was of writing and releasing music and kicking the worlds ass.
Or has Axl actually given up and this is a retirement run. Decided to 'give in' and hang with Slash for the $ but just avoid each other when not on stage, and then do Ac/Dc for his own amusement before hanging up the boots.
I wish they'd do some press so we know which it is.

I think after the reunion Axl was missing something in his life.
His fans were happy with him. He would be able to look across an audience of people who were satisfied at the line up.
This Ac/Dc thing is going to fix all that. It will be 100k people a night who want brian/bon.
Maybe he just wanted to know how DJ/Robin felt all these years.
Seriously though, bullshit aside, replacing Brian Johnston is a near impossible feat....however if anyone can pull it off it's Axl. When he has his rasp...he would nail it home....but the question is....does he have his rasp?

EDIT: Opps. I made a joke then saw someone else already said it lol.
#1908 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL In ACDC??? » 529 weeks ago
^ Really? Ac/Dc is probably the best live band of all time or damn close.

A post GNR Axl is an interesting thing

It's a fun idea.
But born in 1990 - he's just a baby
