Til the day I die, I'll defend Better as the choice from that record to launch with. If they'd heavily promoted that as the first single and "played ball" (interviews, late note shows, etc) it would've been a completely different story.

Back on the subject of BBF; If Axl didn't want to play ball, the least he could've done was had cats like Tommy and BBF go out and do those shows as representing Guns N' Roses. It'd be nice if anyone in the world outside of us and "management" knew who was in the band.

Pretty much. Better was the song that appealed to what most GNR fans wanted to hear.  A hard rock song with loud guitars, pounding drums, and great lyrics from Uncle Axl. It's the song that got my best friend to actually care for some of CD.  It's that song, Madagascar, and Shackler's that made me pick up the album in the first place. Then I realized that I loved Prostitute and If The World too. Even casuals and the press loved it to an extent. If Better came out a few months before the release then it would of helped the situation a little.

Russ, I think you accidentally put Shannon Hood as a second utility on my band member list.

#2604 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Discography (Alternate Reality) » 744 weeks ago

I like the track list for the alternate 2000 Intentions album. What about Down by the Ocean with Izzy that could of been on that possible record? 16

No More Heroes has to be my favorite song on the album. One Last Thrill, You're A Lie, and a few others are up there too!

It's very Cobain like in how he looks. It's from being a slave addicted to the drug. Damn shame!

#2607 Re: The Sunset Strip » Macaulay Culkin looks terrible; fans worry » 745 weeks ago

The man needs serious help. I'm not shocked; but I'm surprised he's addicted to heroin. Dealing with these issues with the press surrounding you must be a living hell. Some people close to him need to break down those doors and help him find treatment and care. Nobody wants the guy to end up dead!

#2608 Re: The Sunset Strip » Vinyl LPs (In general) » 745 weeks ago

Excellent. Glad to hear it. I may look into that. Thanks! big_smile  I found a great Syd Barrett Compilation online at a great price; so I may purchase that if it's still in stock once I save up some money. I may have to purchase Modern Guilt on iTunes or another online store if that's the case. Which wouldn't be an issue since it's in my spending range.

Woww..that's impressive. Some of the best rock albums and an amazing compilation all for five bucks each. That's a damn good deal to me!

I was shocked by The Doors and Hysteria pricing so I grabbed them. Pyromania is a great record, but $5 is common for it however it is in awesome shape.

I went on a little treating myself binge since then due to a bonus check arriving lol. I got the 4LP version of Odelay by Beck. I'm listening to it right now and it sounds fucking astounding.

I ordered some stuff from Discogs and eBay that haven't arrived yet as well:

Alice In Chains-Unplugged
Faith No More-Angel Dust
Prince-Diamonds And Pearls
Skid Row-Skid Row

I'm gonna excited as hell when they all get here!

You have done well my friend! Great choices! Especially Alice in Chains Unplugged. They had a copy of it on CD that was really cheap at a store I went to the other day.

I cant find any of Beck's albums on vinyl in stores anymore. I'm just trying to pick up a copy of Odelay, Modern Guilt, and maybe Guero even though I have a plan to obtain some of the tracks off of that pretty soon.
That's cool that you were able to pick Pyromania at such an excellent price. The CD versions still cost like $10 or more ever time I look for music; so I may keep searching for a vinyl copy in good condition one of these days.

I'm surprised that Neil Peart was picked this late.  He's only one if not the greatest drummers and writes great songs.

Indeed my good sir!
