Prostitute. Awful.

Slash even complained about not getting credit for those songs, cause his contribution was major.

^^And I don't know about there but here in Florida you have to pay like $100 in shelter fees.
Here it varies. Somewhere it's up to you if you even pay anything, or they ask you to donate, but you can decide how much. People usually pay $ 20-30 for a dog in a shelter. (I occasionally donate the same amount of money in like every 3 months. I think they are doing a very important job.)

He said he wasn't happy with the finished product (ie the booklet) and said he had a different plan in mind.
After 17 years, you'd better don't blame different booklet plans and don't say the release was rushed. Fact is Axl can get almost anything on the world, fame, press, talented musicians, the Guns N' Roses name etc., but he cannot use it. He can lead a band into numbness and irrelevancy, but cannot lead it to the peak. He's the King Midas of disfunctionality:anything he touches will not work anymore, with the exception of music, although his nonsense actions can kill anything.
An old Axl-interview from 2000, just for the laugh:
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/arti … ticleid=30
Addressing the absence of his old band members, Rose suggests he simply needed to take control to survive. ''It is the old story that you are told when you're a kid: 'Don't buy a car with your friends,' ', he says with his eyes straight ahead.
''Nobody could get the wheel. Everybody had the wheel. And when you have a bunch of guys, I'm telling you, you are driving the car off the cliff.
Axl was wrong. He's the one in the car who throws the map out of the window, starts fights with the others to get the wheel while they are on the highway, the others get scared, bail out or get fired, he continues on with a changing bunch of hitch-hikers with less gas, on a narrower and narrower road and in the end he's driving the car off the cliff. That's his version of Guns N' Roses. Thank You Axl, it's a shame the world lost such a talented artist.

It's up in his ass. Probably even Slash will appear on it.

Yeah, one of the family's friends went out to live in Canada like 20 years ago. She's now in her early 60s, with a husband, who is a veterinarian. Their dog died at the age of 13 or 14, yet they had to go through a very very long process to adopt a dog. She said it'd have been easier to just go to a pet shop and buy one, but they wanted to help out a miserable dog. More power to this kind of people.
#2208 Re: The Garden » The Rant Thread » 928 weeks ago
I've heard that it's very difficult in Canada (and as it seems in the US, too) to adopt a dog from an animal shelter. Here in Hungary the shelter's are full and they are so far over their capacity and potential in every aspect, that it's very easy to get a dog. However I really support those who adopt a dog, cause in the past thousand years they've become really dependant from humans and most dogs are true-hearted friends of us. They don't deserve the treatment a lot of them get.

It isn't a weak point. Its a fact, 99.9% of the record was recorded in the 99-01 time frame. Can you imagine VR recording Contraband in 2004 but waiting until 2011 to release it? Would you consider its release in 2004 "weak" and think they should have waited until 2011?
Contraband will not sound dated in 2011, although I'm not satisfied with the quality of music. If you use electronica, then don't wait a decade to release it, or you'd better rework the hip-hop and industrial parts.
It's a joke that the timing was 'perfect' for VR and 'very bad' for Axl.
The timing was perfect for VR. They had a huge buzz with "the Project", and they capitalized on it quickly. They didn't twiddle their thumbs for a decade. They did it quickly, and the few decent songs they recorded became hits.
How much more perfect could the timing have been for VR?
The other poster's point I reflected to was that the timing was perfect for VR, because the GN'R nostalgia helped them sell their records. I don't see that GN'R nostalgia or the brand name would have helped VR more than Nu-GN'R. In fact, I think the opposite: Axl profited more from the brand. He has it.
On the other hand you can't heighten 'perfect timing', just because they not only didn't fuck up their chances, but created some.

Eric Dover is great. This band has potentital, I wish they wouldn't rush their songs.
