#1931 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's fired and re hired Azoff 3 times in last 5 weeks! » 908 weeks ago
I think the live performances of the classic songs sucked in 2001-2002 with a few exceptions. BH was good, sometimes great, but Robin... hey his playing was an insult. Paul can't play guitar, it's obvious, the live shows proved it and Brain just isn't the man for the old songs. The band wasn't together, the performances fell apart, not to mention Axl's awful helium/Mickey Mouse voice back then.
#1932 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash to do an exclusive solo show in Norway next year » 908 weeks ago
SLASH will be headlining the Quart Festival on June 30 in Kristiansand, Norway. Special guests are Ron Wood, Ozzy and Fergie. SLASH's band will consist of Jason Bonham, Chris Chaney, John 5, Franky Perez and Teddy Andreadis.
#1933 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash Begins Recording for his Solo Album » 908 weeks ago
We were disappointed to hear that SLASH's solo album won't be out till after the first of the year, so we asked him why that was. There are two more tracks to go, and they're almost done with vocals with a couple of odds and ends. He said he hopes to have a release date soon, but it will definitely be early next year. The recording process is almost done, but the legal logistics with so many artists takes time to iron out. Also, he doesn't want to have his album come out at the same time as any of the artists guesting on the album. Interestingly, SLASH is going to post what gear was used on what songs although most are just one guitar and two amps - this will be posted on Myspace. The record is being recorded analog, so it will be released on vinyl as well as CD. Izzy Stradlin is making a rhythm guitar appearance on the album, and Steven Adler will appear on drums.

Slash confirmed that Slipkont singer Corey Talyor was close to getting the job.

Corey Taylor of Slipknot recently joined Duff's band Loaded on tour in America. There was a rumor that Corey would be the next VR singer. We checked that with SLASH, and he said it looked like it for a minute, but they had decided against it.

#1936 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who's DJ? » 908 weeks ago
robin67, it is my honor to bestow upon you the classification of 'Robinite'. You're not the first, Jim Bob was, but at least he's got company now with the TWO of you that exist.
I thought he gave up his Robinite thing when the guy left the band, otherwise he would have been in trouble @ the official unofficial Axlite fan site. I might be wrong, cause I don't read that site anymore, so I read it somewhere here, for sure. Or I just dreamed the whole story, which would be quite awkward. 
#1937 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who's DJ? » 908 weeks ago
I can't believe we're having a Robin vs. DJ thread right now. It shows clearly how low this band has sunk.

#1939 Re: Guns N' Roses » What did Axl consider to be "Big Guns" » 909 weeks ago
Axl's favourites in 2006 were TWAT, Better and The Blues, although the latter was played when he said we hadn't heard the big guns. Prostitute wasn't hyped by any band member as far as I know, but Brain mentioned The General several times and Dizzy's favourite was Scraped (Lies They Tell, how he named it).
#1940 Re: Guns N' Roses » Twitter updates » 909 weeks ago
500,000 old fans bought it in the US. They showed it to their friends. Like 6,000 of them felt it worth buying. Why? It's not about promotion, it's about people not liking it enough. I still haven't met anyone who bought it, although one of my friends (an old softcore fan) is thinking of buying it as soon as it gets cheaper.
Edit: it's not about me not liking the album. I like it, but not love it - it's the second or third best 'post-GN'R' (post-UYI, if you like it) album for me. I just don't find anything that would attract younger music listeners, those who aren't fans of th old material. On the other hand I absolutely understand why a lot of old fans don't like it.
Anyway, if Axl was sane enough he wouldn't go into hiding, but would keep working. The sales are disappointing compared to the GN'R brand name, but still good enough to start something new. Yep, he should restart the new era first, since most of the main CD contributors are gone. Years ago. Anyway, he could still stay relevant with more releases in every few years.
