Russ...have an excellent time! That picture alone gets me hyped! 
#2942 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tom Cruise sings Paradise City » 753 weeks ago
That's why I keep up with Rotten Tomatoes; so I know which movies to save my money for that have great reviews or movies that interest me. This movie really doesn't interest me. I'm just not into musicals. If it sucks, then the world is still spinning.
#2943 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tom Cruise sings Paradise City » 753 weeks ago
Yeah..Agreed. I was surprised with Tom's voice. I was expecting it to be abit deeper. He definitely has a hair metal kind of tone which would work with the film's singing parts. Definitely no Axl or Myles on the song!
Alot of music reviews panned his performance on Pour Some Sugar.. from Def Leppard on the soundtrack.
I guess we will see how it all turns out.
#2944 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tom Cruise sings Paradise City » 753 weeks ago
Hey he doesn't suck on the track, I'll give him that. The backing band did a solid job with this song even though it cut out some of the other lyrics. I'm surprised that Axl or any of the GNR alumni allowed this song to be used for a musical soundtrack. The movie itself looks meh...! At least it's using music that I actually like to listen to even though it's all being covered by actors. Hopefully the end product doesn't completely suck.
#2945 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Making a Buckethead mixtape » 753 weeks ago
Nun Chuka Kata is a great choice. I personally would pick Acoustic Shards, Monsters and Robots, Giant Robot, and a few online downloadable songs that are guitar driven and instrumental on his website if you want to seriously get him into Bucket's music. If you find copies of other younger Buckethead recordings or soundtrack material that could work too.
#2946 Re: Guns N' Roses » State of GNRevolution (PLEASE READ, discuss) » 753 weeks ago
I loved the Van Halen thread in the Black Hole section because I was able to share my opinions with you and a bunch of cool guys on one of my favorite bands. It helped me get excited for the album and tour. Haven't felt that great about a band in quite awhile. Sharing my story about the concert and hearing everyone else's feedback was a joy. The other sections are great because it talks about shows (The Walking Dead, American Horror Story) and movies that I am currently watching and want to express my thoughts with others.
When I first heard about this site, I was just chilling around the internet and I owned Chinese Democracy for a good number of months and wanted to learn some of the information on why the hell it took 15 years for it to come about. What is just Axl's perfectionism, certain money issues or anyone involved in the other recording sessions?
I looked around, googling shit, and then it directed me to a tid bit called Chinese Whispers and I was quite intrigued. Eventually I came across this site and over the next few months I would constantly go to this site and see the opinions on what you guys posted and if any new information about music or touring showed up. Eventually I decided I couldn't stand here and just look, so I wanted to join in on the festivities.
As for the Guns N' Roses section it is spot on. Everyone has a broad view point on the current affairs. I just wish some of the users would cut down on the calling out and arguments within their opinions of particular band members, management, or just Axl in general. Can we give peace a chance? The man is quite flawed; but in the end he tries to put on a good show to entertain the public despite the constant frustrations putting up with some of the actions of the people he has managing the show (Fernando!!!!).
I think when DJ announced he was writing and sending some songs and concepts to Axl, I was overly excited. I was hoping this guy and the current lineup could steer this band in the right direction. I got to make some new friends and acquaintances on here and I appreciate it. I'm sure new music will come around sooner or later and I will be one of the first people in line to purchase it.
I got to get better impressions on all the past and present alumni and see their side of the story and got to get in touch with different types of music. Tried out some new bands due to you guys posting some cool stuff on some of the threads. Got to expand my horizons.
As for moving forward and seeing how it goes from here, I do hope some better news pops up that all walks of life that come on here can enjoy and discuss. Whenever GNR or another band comes around a familiar area, we should find a way to have a forum meet up and chill before the show and have a laugh.
Like you Russ, I don't mind another tour if they do shows around areas I can get to with friends. I would just like them to dig through some of the catalog more and the band would do more song selection polls like they did on their facebook page one time. Basically I would love to see this band succeed and not be harassed by die hards of the old lineup. I can relate to everyone's frustrations though.
I hope to stay on this forum for quite awhile and hope to add to the discussions and think of ways to expand the forum by adding new topics when I can think of some. Take care you guys!

Oh..yeah..the '99 version of Catcher is perfect and that version of TWAT is really good just needed some better mixing on a few parts and of course needed Bucket on the solos.

Sweet looking guitars I have to say! The man has got good taste!
#2949 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash, Zakk, Gus G, Ozzy Paranoid » 753 weeks ago
haha..Nice!
I remember watching alot of the live footage on Youtube and it alot of great Zakk shredding. Rob is a great bass player too. Wish he was on a few more albums before he joined Metallica; but I love Blasko's work; so i'm happy with what it is for the time being. I thought Ozzy's band played well during the Blizzcon 2009 performance with the introduction to Gus G. Then the reincarnation of Randy Rhoads steps on stage as a Japanese kid and Ozzy just bows down to the guy!
I'm like holy shit! I think it brought back some fond memories for him. I do agree the prince of darkness's voice isn't what it used to be; but it sounds alot better than it was a few years ago since he has been clean, sober, and staying in shape for awhile now!
#2950 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash, Zakk, Gus G, Ozzy Paranoid » 753 weeks ago
I think I like the 2002 Budokan performance of it too. Had some great Zakk & Ozzy moments in the live footage and mix.
