Paradise City Rock in Rio 3 2001, Welcome to the Jungle either Reading 2010 or one of the current shows from the 2011 U.S. tour. ..or Jungle from Lisbon 2006. Oh My God Rio 2001, Madagascar from either a 2002 show or 2006. Live and Let Die Florida 2011, Axl screams were intense and powerful! You got to put in the first inclusion of Civil War in years from the recent U.S. tour on this set list for a live album. Night train or Paradise from Download 2006 with Izzy would be great additions too. That's all I can think of at the moment. Have fun with it man!

That's a good analysis on the whole process. Your position sounds quite intriguing.

Well this stinks. (Plankton's voice) 
Oh well. Hopefully they fix this issue and do some more streams with benefits sometime soon.

I think Nolan would be spinning his wheels if he keeps making comic book adaptations. I want him to do other types of projects.
No way Nolan is over on Superman if he doesn't have creative control. Why bother?
Either he, or Jonathan Nolan are calling shots. Guaranteed. Ever watch "Person of Interest" with Jim Caviziel on CBS?
It's basically a Nolan Batman/Inception TV series. It was created by Jonathan.
Superman will be as Nolanverse as it can be with an alien superhero.
Nolan's wife said in December that they had handed it over to Snyder because they were too busy with Batman. I think the hype surrounding Nolan as "godfather of the Superman reboot" was a deliberate attempt at propaganda by WB. Yes, Nolan was involved in coming up with the story. No, he's not anywhere near as involved in the production as Jerry Bruckheimer would be or Nolan would be for a movie he directs. They wanted to create some goodwill for their reboot so they oversold the idea of Chris Nolan saving Superman from the abyss. Has a good ring to it if you're a studio executive who wants to create good will with fanboys.
I have seen Person of Interest. Pretty good show.
Originally Nolan and his wife just wanted to help write the screenplay and help produce it since Nolan was still recovering from Ledger's death and I heard mixing and editing the final version was quite a difficult task emotionally for most of the development team. For a time, Nolan wanted nothing to do with a third Batman film and wanted to pitch the script and ideas to another director. He decided to finish the film trilogy and hopefully end it on a epic scale for the fans. The thing I love about Nolan's work is he works with people he has befriended; so they aren't just hired actors but like a family working together to accomplish a huge goal. I respect that behavior.

Superman needs to be good or it's dead in my opinion. No way they can reboot it again. TThe last oen sucked and if this one sucks they'd have to wait 10-15 years at least. What they should've done is have Smallville end on a better note. More cliffhangerish. Then use Tom Welling as Superman in a movie reboot. Why this never happend makes no sense to me. Why they ever cast the last guy as Superman makes even less sense. They had a built in new generation of Superman fans with the 8 or however many year run Smallville had. Would've seemed like a natural progression to me.
I was asking myself and others the same thing a year back. Especially since for the past few Superman movies they have cast leads that are relatively unknown and a new face to fans of the comics, cartoons, and such. I am a big fan of Smallville even though it had its off points and bad episodes since it's ended last year. I didn't think Returns sucked; but it wasn't fresh or inventive. The concept was unoriginal and Brandon Roth just couldn't get the right feel for Superman's character. I thought he did an okay job with being Clark Kent; but in order to get the character down you have to have the two personas synch well which made Christopher Reeve so great in the first two films. I thought the best out of the any of the cast was Kevin Spacey. He nailed Luthor. The problem is they just need a fresh villain too. They overuse Luthor way too much. I could say the same thing with Zod. Brainiac or Bizarro (if produced in the right light) would make great options for the Man of Steel to confront in Zack's upcoming film. If the film succeeds, then bring out a Doomsday battle situation for a future sequel. They shouldn't do the human alter ego Doomsday concept that Smallville tried to do because they couldn't fully grasp the potential of it. I'm hoping they pull off this movie with the situations they are dealing with and not crush fans or do the Zack overusing CGI shtick.

He did an interview once (I thought) where he talked about learning guitar all on his own, because he at one point thought he'd have to take over on rhythm guitar because they just couldn't find anybody he liked and Paul didn't want to do it full time and was just doing it as a favor to Axl.
I think that would've been a very interesting time. It's such a shame Axl's the weird ass that he is, because during that mid-to-late 90's period just an "Axl unplugged" deal where he was in his man cave just coming up with pieces and jamming acoustic ideas out would've been awesome.
That would be quite amazing!! I do appreciate Tobias for sticking with Axl through that crazy mysterious time of the mid 90s. I especially applaud Dizzy for still sticking with the band through all the shit. He helped start and contribute to alot of the material and who knows what's still left in the CD session vault. I think originally Axl asked Slash if he could help out on rhythm guitar for awhile after Izzy left for good and Gilby was fired. Since most of the band members felt uncomfortable and couldn't get the right vibes playing with Paul. Then it just went downhill from there for a good number of years. I'm still holding out some hope that this band should do an unplugged show with some new material and stream it. I watched some of the small Rose bar gig on youtube and it was so badass! 
#2977 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R returns to the UK » 753 weeks ago
Awesome dude! Glad you had a good time! Good news that the shows are still kicking ass and worth the ticket price out there. Can't wait for the next U.S. tour; so I can get a good rock n' roll show as well. Saving up my money right now for The Wall, maybe Rush in the fall, and a few other bands that catch my attention.
#2978 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another new song on the setlists... » 753 weeks ago
It may be a cover of the famous song from The Who for a solo spot for Tommy or maybe for the whole band. I personally love that song; but they have enough covers already as it is with some of the UYI material they are playing live being cover songs. ugh. I want to hear Going Down, OMG, Perfect, another new song, Catcher, and Prostitute dammit! 
They should add Yesterdays, Coma, and Dead Horse to list of set list suggestions too.

It's the same crap like the Kurt Cobain case for GH5. If Courtney didn't want him to be a playable character, then she shouldn't have put his image in the game in the first place. If it happened with Slash and Carlos Santana, they were bound to do the same thing with Kurt in the programming.
#2980 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNREVO HOF tribute to Guns N' Roses. » 754 weeks ago
Besides some of the early UYI tour shows and the Dead Horse music video, those are the only times I've seen Axl with a guitar in hand in the 90s. The last time we've all seen that happen was back in Rock in Rio 3 in 2001. Also some of his guitar parts for some odd reason are on the final studio versions for Maddy and TWAT. I should add that back in '95 and the early years of forming the new lineup in late '96, 97, Axl probably played guitar for rehearsal purposes or to get some song ideas together with Paul, Dizzy, and the others.
