Name sells.

Hollywood Rose wasn't that great. Without Slash, AFD would have been a bulk of Anything Goes and Think About Yous, with no Jungle, no SCOM, no PC, no Brownstone etc. Axl, Slash, Duff and Izzy are all essentials. I'd like to add Steven, but he'll never be able to do a tour or record an album.
#2433 Re: Guns N' Roses » To Bucket, GNR is a 'dirty word' » 938 weeks ago
i wouldnt doubt that bucket and brain may be negotiating to come back to gnr together or not at all....
Since they've just erased Brain's (and Robin's) name from the MySpace band page, I think there is close to zero chance for Brain's coming back and as I see it, it's either BH & Brain or none of them. I'm not even sure if Axl wants to tour.

#2437 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl No. 64 In Rolling Stone Greatest Singers List » 938 weeks ago
I don't really care about these lists since they are different from month to month, and mostly full of shit. Axl isn't the best singer (technically), although I think he'd have deserved a better position, since he is probably the best frontman ever.
#2438 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Scott Weiland: "Too Many Big Egos" Caused Velvet Revolver Split » 938 weeks ago
I remember Axl saying that on the Illusion records that Slash or Duff wouldn't play on certain songs if their songs weren't recorded. The same shit happened with Velvet Revolver on Libertad. I ain't saying Weiland ain't to blame here cause I'm sure part of the blame lies on him (like part of the blame for GNR breaking up lies on Axl) but Duff and Slash and Matt aren't completely angels either.
Axl was talking about the whole band, including himself. But some of the efforts are half-assed, 'guest'-type performances, that's why the Illusions are more likely to be a collection of solo albums than an actual band release. With a few exceptions.
I agree wtih the VR thing, not putting out Messages showed how disfunctional the band was at that time.
@ Scott: I'm surprised how mature his commented the break-up. As much as I'm not a Scott fan, he handles the this thing much more intelligent than the Slash-Duff-Matt camp. Not that Slash&Co would be too hateful, bitter or anything about this.
#2439 Re: Guns N' Roses » Article and review of CD in the Guardian » 938 weeks ago
My problem with this is it isn't a review. I'd have no problem if that had talked about the songs and why they thought it sucked.
Exactly. I wouldn't really mind about reviews if these weren't influating people to buy or not to buy something. I like to make my own opinion, but to tell the truth sometimes a very good review is inspiring and a very bad takes you away from even downloading the album (to 'taste it'). I can handle critical reviews, if the writer has fair points. Maybe he/she has a different view and a different taste in music, that's all. But this 'review' is absolutely shitty, the author has no clue. Wonder how Guardian could have accepted it.
