Bret was so fucking good. Watch his leg when he gets hit by that moonsault outside. Yikes!
Yeah. Bret just knew how to sell the psychology of wrestling better than anyone. I rewatch the famous Wrestlemania match with Austin a few times a year. And Bret knows how to work over a body part better than anyone. Didn't matter who, Austin, Nash etc.
#312 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash Says Guns N’ Roses Have a ‘Couple of Epic’ Songs to Release » 211 weeks ago
For fuck sake. Why is GN’R (Axl), such a shit show? Slash doesn’t know how many songs he redid? And now it’s not gonna be an album, but just a couple more songs?
What happened to all the talk about hundreds of unreleased songs, but Slash and Duff were only able to rework a half dozen of those?
And then… Slash says they’ll start work on a new album AFTER next year’s Summer tour? So what, start in late 2023? Only to finally come out in 2030???
Fuck these guys (Axl), move slow.
They should’ve been doing all the shit while the world was in lockdown and they couldn’t tour for close to 2 years.
Bloody hopeless.
LOL, this is the only "band" that has fucking problems recording and releasing music at this point. Even bands with a quarter of the money and notoriety know how to operate this basic action.
I guess he may want to record new music with the band but I'm doubtful these guys can write anything decent without Izzy.
I guess the 2-4 new songs would be ok as long as they aren't the quality of Absurd.

Oh man, that Spuds McKenzie commercial takes me back. So does the timeless Toys R' Us theme song.
Yeah, products today in certain industries definitely aren't as good (cough...insert your favorite fast food joint).

Poor people becoming rich and famous have to be thrown for a complete loop. Toss in mental illness and it would be even worse.
Shit houses to mansions...nobody caring to everyone wanting to fuck you or be your friend...small amounts of drugs to huge piles.
It could drive you crazy.
This is why the rise of GNR is fascinating. Especially for those of us who saw it. They were basically street urchins who hit the stratosphere and made it BIG. And almost every member had some sort of debilating issue (even Izzy). There was a certain danger or volatility factor that just didn't exist in the late 80s.

Yep...60 Minutes and Murder, She Wrote.
Funny how stuff like that sticks in your head.
I wouldn't be able to tell you what comes on after football now with a gun to my head. Nothing is truly memorable anymore. I was talking about this a few days ago with a friend....how back in the day, commercials were so lively and catchy with their jingles to the point they become lifelong earworms. Now most commercials are drugs, cars, and fast food and you forget em as soon as they leave the screen.
I thought about the last part and it's because those commercials just features celebrities and they don't tell you that much about the product. Also, there's a kind of "too cool for school" humor that rubs me the wrong way in most of these commercials.
Remember that really old Tootsie roll commercial with the Owl and the kid? That thing has more staying power than most of the commercials for the past 15 years.

I still haven't watched an Amazon game. Even though this is the future of sports, I don't like it.. Games should be on regular TV as long as TV exists.
Yeah.... Bears are sinking fast. I don't even know what the answer is anymore. They were long overdue for a coaching change and many thought that would fix things. Obviously it didn't.
Like with the Lions, it may be organizational rot from the top down.
I prefer the tv experience to watching the game as well.
The problem w/the Bears is this: when they realized that Trubisky wasn't going to be the answer at qb, they should have flushed Pace and Nagy (GM and coach) and Trubisky all at the same time. Instead, they bring back the failed coach and gm combo and let them draft a qb.
Now the new regieme is stuck with this bad qb while trying to rebuild with a qb they may or may not want. Oh, it's been a while since CHI has had a decent OL, that seems to span multiple GM/Coach combos though.
The Lions are ahead of the Bears in the rebuilding game.

It should've been included in the AFD box set.
It's almost as iconic as the album itself.
Generation X grew up on this performance... running home after school knowing MTV would play the entire concert. It stayed in heavy rotation for quite awhile...and of course two years later they cherry picked songs and turned them into videos...KOHD the big one.
In the 90s it was one of the main bootlegs sold...under different titles.
Remember in 1988 when Jungle hit it big (could have been SCOM as well) and they started playing this thing on weekends at night? It seemed like they show that show a bunch of times. Which was sort of unheard for a new band. I mean they usually wait a while then they have the hot band do a live performance. This one was sort of concurrent.
Also, I remember It's so Easy being a co-big one from that show.

RIP
Another piece of my childhood gone...sigh. I have no idea how many times I watched the show (not that many times). This is what I remember...Immediately following the game...60 minutes followed by Murder She Wrote.
I always remember the play by play guy who was doing whatever sports event I watched on CBS mutter that line.
Lansbury was great as the villaness in the 1960s version of the Manchurian Candidate (the one with Sinatra) and some 40s thriller called Gaslight.
#320 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 213 weeks ago
I hate to tell CNN this but left or right if people don't watch your network, it doesn't matter. I don't watch much cable news at all. I'm just assuming that whatever personalities they have on seem to be repelling people for whatever reason.
