One day they absolutely have to make one of those Pink Floyd or Eagles docu's where you have interviews with all the big players. The Eagles docu they showed in my country after Frey's death had all the band members, past and present, Azoff and David Geffen. Talked about the founding, all the albums, funny stories, tensions, the breakup, the reunion. Clocked in at over 3 and half hours.

Ok, so apparently it's Marc canter, Vikki Hamilton & Zutaut. Adler & Sorum are also interviewed. Focuses on AFD then gets into the craziness (apparently Axl wanted to build/hire his own private army).
These bbc docs are usually standard fare so I wouldn't expect too much in the hardcores don't already know.
Exactly what I feared. No important members being interviewed.
Only thing this will deliver is some fun stories from the past. Well, at least it's made by the BBC, so should be a pleasing production.

Hope this gives us some new perspectives.

They need to stop fucking around. Last season was drag with all the meaningless story lines. And Kings Landing lost all the punch with only Cersei around, something needs to happen there as well. Even her so called topless scene was disappointing.

Doesn't look like either party knows how to run the country you ask me. Things keep getting worse.

If there were 7 flips and she won 6 the odds could change quite a bit. Still very lucky though, and being Hillary, possibly suspicious. Because she has been involved in so much seedy crap already.
#1988 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 536 weeks ago
Yeah that's probably a misprint, the odds are 1 in 80 lifetime, not per year.
Conspiracy or not, winning 6 in a row is pretty damn lucky. You could repeat that 70 times over and it would only happen once.

For those who have played poker, if you have Ace King and meet pocket Aces, you are over 8 times more likely to win than Hillary in those coin flips. You are only slightly less likely to die in a transportation accident within the next year.

Apart from overestimating his own importance, Matt was trying to make a point to Axl. "Your whole band is leaving you dude". His bad attitude aside, Matt always had a direct, simple approach to things. "GN'R is you and Slash together, call me when you realize that" - type stuff. Only him and Slash certainly underestimated Axl's determination once that bridge was severed.
If Matt had played the man's tune he would still be in the band. Axl could have cut costs and thrown out Dizzy when Chris arrived, but he returns loyalty.
Axl definitely made some very disparaging comments about Slash over the years. It is also hard to deny there has been an attempt to eviscerate Slash from GN'Rs legacy. However that was all stemming from the sense of personal betrayal Axl felt, not Slash' creative abilities. Axl said of him something like "he had so much talent and I wanted to make him great, but he threw it all away". In Axl's estimation Slash could have been the Jimmy Page of his generation. Lead guitarist numero uno. And with how much success he's had with his solo career, despite not lighting the world on fire with hits, he would probably reach that type of status if GN'R had trucked on Metallica and U2 style.
