That's all in the eye of the beholder. Personally I couldn't care less that a bunch of hacks goes on tour to ham up some old songs.
Nothing wrong with it, and it'll probably be a lot of fun, but dignified? Hardly the appropriate description.

Yeah, it was harder than I thought. It's like favoring one of your children, I kinda feel bad about it.

What is your favorite?
Extremely hard to choose. I can go either way with SCOM, Nightrain, second Estranged solo, Don't Damn me or Locomotive.
I'll go with Estranged simply because it's their best song.

not sure i agree w/this.
well, he's not like RATM in sofar as he's not shit, but what's Civil War or Chinese Democracy?i do know where you're coming from. he's probably at his best on stuff like SCoM with it's personal but universal reach. but he doesn't shy away from social comment either - "organised religion makes a mockery of humanity etc"
Yeah, he's dabbled a bit, but tbh those are ventures where his lack of a intellectual education glares through. Civil War reminds me of a child crying "why can't we all get along" because he doesn't know any better. I'm glad he kept away from all of that after 9/11.

Axl is an honest straightforward writer but most songs he kinda tells u exactly whats what... he has nothing cryptic or open for interpretation i guess is what i mean.
.
You tripping again man. I agree he's not Velvet Underground, but stuff like Coma, Estranged and Breakdown are far from straight forward.
#3556 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose - Criminally underrated lyricist. » 741 weeks ago
Completely agree with the assessment.
What I think is a shame is that Axl is not compared to his contemporaries at the time, like Eddie Vedder. I think Axl is THAT good.
Vedder may be a decent lyricist, but he doesn't hold a candle to Axls melodic ability. Jagger and Plant would be the more appropriate comparison.
Sometimes I think if he laid off the boxer shorts he'd be getting the proper recognition.

For me personally I'm not really an instrumental guy, whenever I hear a great instrumental, a "Watch This!" or "Soothsayer" it feels like a lost opportunity to make a truely amazing conventional song.
I'd swear allegiance to the government to have Axls vocals on some of Bucketheads stuff.
On the other hand...
I'd like to see him to do it, if only for the fact that for the last 15 years he hasn't found a single singer able to do him justice. Scott was alright, but nothing more.
I'm not sure he'd dare to expose himself like that though. He's always been a come behind kinda guy.

Had Gn'R released this in 1991 as a single with Axl on vocals it would've been a huge hit and then the grunge movement would've followed and Gn'R would be seen as the ones who spear headed it. That's exactly how it would've played out.
Yeah, with Axl.
Slash isn't the problem here, Myles Kennedy is. Guy sounds like the incarnation of glam. Maybe it wouldn't have been laughed out in 91, but I'm definitely laughing now.

Nice article. Not surprising though. They used to put you in a mental facility over there if you didn't like communism, cause obviously you'd be crazy.

For sure. First time I ever got a hard on from a political ad.
