#261 Re: The Sunset Strip » Roger Waters Discussion (NEW ATD vinyl coming!) » 683 weeks ago
Well...thats me gutted. Serve's me right I guess, I remember seeing and reading the Classic Rock mag edition where they did a big section on The Wall and Roger going out with it again. Seem to recall them / or Roger himself mentioning it was a last hurrah so to speak. Oh well. I'll just live with the acid tinged memories of youth and my own wall at the time!

In hindsight, regardless of my stance about Axl and Izzy on the HoF, I admit if I was at this gig and saw this happen live, I would have lost my shit. 14 Years is one of my fav GnR tunes, and to hear it played by Izzy and Axl in 2012, is pretty fucking cool.
Totally agree with this, love 14 years. When I saw Izzy with GnR in 2006 it was cool, but to hear Izzy front and centre singing this, I would have been well pleased to have been there.

So after reading Russ' original review, I checked on Roger's site. Tour dates go through to 07/21 quebec.
Anyone know if the UK has been done yet, or will get another round? Kinda kicking myself I hadnt been in here and found out about this sooner, its a show I would love to see, and to take my wife to would be awesome, she loves theatrical performances of any kind.

I never knew what a Heel was in that sense till I read AxlIn's post.

Wow! Russ, how'd you manage to get to meet Roger? I would have thought he'd be in a bunker or something pre-show!
I'm looking forward to reading your write up.
The Wall, for me, was an album I listened to loads while stoned or on acid when I was 17 & 18 and it's some of the most beautiful, scary, hauntingly powerful music ever.
I couldn't listen to it for years after because it was like a fearful flashback, just depressing to go through and difficult to dip into. However that was years ago now, and listening to it again a couple of years back, with a clear head and spirit was pretty amazing.
Anyway, enough of my story, Russ, I wanna hear yours !

When I hear "$200k worth of gold and diamond studded necklaces and chains" I instantly think of BA from the A-Team.
Bummer though for sure.
#269 Re: Guns N' Roses » State of GNRevolution (PLEASE READ, discuss) » 683 weeks ago
I came by when it was roses of velvet, and have read pretty much every thread since then.
I first dropped by, way back when, because this was the best place for honest news, views and opinions on GnR, without censorship, and without nonsense trolling users (mygnr, cd.com etc).
I am a mega lurker, I find it difficult to get enough time (have wife and toddler) to read through the threads as they are, let alone contribute much or debate with you guys. Maybe in that sense my opinion is worth less, and that's understandable.
Even though GnR are doing stuff, there is little passion, mystery, anticipation anymore for me. Yet I still come here and read daily. So to me there is value in the GnR section, still. I'm fascinated by what Axl does (for better or worse), and will continue to take an interest and want to know what's going on.
I drop by the snakepit and twat sections from time to time and thats about it.
I think buzz is right, things will work out and evolve in its own way. You never know, new music may light fire under everyone's ass again one day.
