#2891 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff Book » 751 weeks ago
For me, the most telling thing is how attentive Axl was ONCE Duff got help. Axl was the only one to call him or come see him after his Pancreas incident. Axl began communicating, riding bikes, talking about the band.
Its impossible being the sober guy in a room full of junkies. so i can see why Axl distanced himself.
The name thing makes complete fucking sense to me now after reading how fucked up Duff was and Axl's explanation of not wanting a hassle continuing on legally etc.
Now that doesn't mean I am all of a sudden gonna be an Axlite and hate the old guys..
but Axl certainly has some vindication the more i read stuff from old members.
I always thought Duff was just kind of a drunk... didn't realize he was that hardcore into shit.
After looking through some recent internet articles and some other reading materials on the band, I could see Duff was extremely fucked up during the last few years of the UYI tour and he needed help badly. Yeah I heard some of the things Axl did when Duff was very ill and I respect that because I would do that if my friend was that far gone. I'm actually reading some of Slash's book currently; but I took a break from it because some of the content before Guns bores the hell outta me. Going to pick it up once my classes end for a couple of weeks. After that I may see if I can rent Duff's or Steven's book from someone or at a library. Don't really want to purchase them.

I got a few weeks ago with some other new music. I ran it on my crappy laptop that kept messing with the CD at times. Overall, I love the sound of Slash's playing. I agree it's his best playing in a long time and alot of songs have a strong punk, Appetite kind of feel. Myles was in top form vocally and I thought his change in tone on certain songs flowed well. I think he did better on the fast rockers like Love, Lie, One Last Thrill, Halo and No More Heroes. I was impressed with Anastasia too. The drumming was loud and mean. Todd was great with the choruses and the bass lines synced within the songs. It wasn't groundbreaking though. Not the best rock album of 2012. Still love the new Van Halen album better folks! Overall, I applaud Slash for making a great rock album and I can't wait to hear what see has in store with the future either with Myles, instrumental stuff or with a new VR concept.
Have to kinda agree, as great as Slash's new album is, Van Halen's newie is still (in my opinion) the strongest rock release so far this year. I keep going back to it every few weeks and it's still awesome.
Same here man! For ADKOT, I have the albums on my two computers and when I get the chance I just bust out a few tracks and helps make my day better by rocking out. Especially Chinatown, Outta Space, and You & Your Blues. As for Slash's record, I can see only a few songs I could play and jam to on a regular basis; but this is only my first time around the whole album. Maybe if I get a better sound system and play it back and forth one or two times, I'll get a better vibe from it. The main deal with Van Halen's new record was alot of the public expected it be a half ass concept with mostly phoned in lyrics and guitar parts that were all over place. BUT IT WASN'T! They proved that these guys had energy and could still rock your socks off with putting some great songs that sound like old school fast, ass kicking VH. I thank Wolfie for stepping up and trying to get this tour and record together. I'm just glad that there wasn't any songs I hated on Slash's record; but some of the tone shifts in the songs kind of threw off the groove of the album. It's a great rock record and I thought Myles & Slash's collaboration with the other band members was a great change of scenery in today's rock music variety.

I would love for a great U.S. re-release of Appetite with posters, bonus DVD with concert footage and music videos, and other content that are at a fair price.
#2894 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's voice overs in GTA: SA » 751 weeks ago
I actually had already pre-bought GTA: San Andreas when it came out, and had no clue Axl was in the game until I flipped it over to K-DST.
The voice was very VERY familiar. Then it dawned on me who it was (this was within seconds btw).
I checked the manual that came with it and none other than W. Axl Rose being credited as the DJ.
Obviously Lazlow or someone else wrote his material, but he was funny as hell, with great timing and inflection. It'd be cool if Axl reprised the role for the upcoming return to San Andreas with "Grand Theft Auto V" as an older version of Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith, DJ'ing on the current rock station, and talking about how all of them suck.
I would laugh my ass off if it did happen. 
It would be even more classic if he made fun of himself by playing a GNR song on the station. Which he'd probably never do even if the writers put it in his script.
#2895 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » This is who I vote for in VR... FUCK ME, would be killer » 751 weeks ago
Corey in my opinion is the man for the job based on both singing ability for heavy hard rock which is VR's style and I think he can bring a welcomed change and spirit back into the band. Even though I don't care for Slipknot's and some of his other discography from time to time. He is already well known and the public would eat up a new album with him as the vocalist. I can hear some powerful tunes coming from him, Slash, and the rest of the boys!

Weird AL still needs his star on the Wall of Fame! Then I'm good!
#2897 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash named the best guitarist of all time By Sweden's biggest newspap » 751 weeks ago
Above Brian May, Hendrix, Gilmour, and Page?! That's a load of crap! Slash is a great player and one of my favorites like the rest of you have mentioned but the other players mentioned blow him out of the water in terms of technique and quality in their playing. Just saying. 
#2898 Re: Guns N' Roses » State of GNRevolution (PLEASE READ, discuss) » 751 weeks ago
I've been to gunsnfnroses.com Trolls, trolls everywhere! One of the admins followed me on twitter and so I checked out some of the site for awhile and it was pretty bad. They were also the ass wipes that fooled everyone with a fake copy of the single of Monstrosity with fine detail to make it look like a legit new GNR disc.
#2899 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's voice overs in GTA: SA » 751 weeks ago
Oh yeah I checked out some of the voice over clips a few months back. When I read wikipedia that Uncle Axl was on GTA, I was like holy shit!! Some of the material he says is fucking hysterical! 
He needs to do more voice overs or cameos..dammit!

I'm always happy to blame "management" for stuff like this.
sp1at wrote:The band want to record after the tour for 2-3 months and release a new album before the end of the year.
I would love it if this ends up happening obviously.
You know everything on this forum is waiting with banted breath. 
I would love to hear what's left of the vault plus a fresh album featuring DJ's songwriting with Axl and the rest of the current lineup. I want to hear the rest of Bucket's and Robin's material to because it's important. I have a cool idea! Whenever the album does get released and if there are copies sold at Best Buy, most of us on the forum should meet up at a particular one and just pull out the vehicles, buy the album, blast it on the stereos, and then grab some drinks at the pub and celebrate! GNR party!
