Press CC for english subs. It's a campaign ad for tv.

Someone should call Homeland Security. Surely this qualifies as terrorism.

Axl's voice wouldn't change the fact that this new sound just isn't up to snuff with the classic material. Besides, Axl's voice isn't up to snuff these days either. Mix them together and you've got a shitty "modern" version of the GN'R sound.

Not for his voice, for his motivational abilities. The fear of the dictators wrath always used to push him that extra mile.

Not a bad cover, but it is essentially the same. If you're going to cover a great song you should make it different like KOHD, or else what's the point.

Well, you have, you are and you will.

Oh, how are you going to clean it up? You got some magic plan that nobody's thought of yet? I don't think it's a coincidence that every state run program in the west is running into depravity.

No, it's not socialism on paper, but it becomes so when the guys who own big pharma also owns your government. It's not even close to a free market system. A cartel would be the more appropriate description.

And I agree the big capitalists are rigging the game, but having a huge, all encompassing government there to do the job for them doesn't help it. Any government will be bought, that's why it needs to be constitutionally limited. The problem in your country and mine is that the government doesn't give a fuck about the law or the constitution. They break it every day. It happens because the voters either don't know or don't give a fuck as long as there's Ben & Jerry in the fridge.

Now that the milk and honey days are passing people want to give more power to the government, ie. the big corporations. Yeah, you somehow want to change that, but how are you going to do that when every candidate available to you is deep in the pocket of the establishment?

I'm not a slave to anybody. You on the other hand voluntarily invite the slavery of government and the banks. Ready to throw the constitution out the window and let government take care of you. Cause bureaucracy got such a great track record historically right? The freeing up of markets built all our countries. The reason it seemingly never work is because big money factions are always using their pull to manipulate the process and create chaos. It's the ignorance of this fact that has halted any effort to do something about it. To start jailing these bankers and politicians for corruption and criminal conspiracy.

Somalia doesn't have a government cause if they do some western coalition go and bomb the shit out of them. Those countries are slave colonies for the corporations, who make our governments use our tax money to kill and enslave people so they can snatch resources. You need to start paying attention to what's happening outside network tv.

Oh, and "Checkmate" puts this snippet to shame.  16  Sorry, couldn't resist.

Checkmate is a smash hit compared to this. And I'm not kidding, you can easily hear that songs potential in a few seconds. As you can with this, or rather the lack of. He could pull out the last solo in Estranged on steroids and it wouldn't make up for Myles genericness. You slash the Mona Lisa in half and it's not really art anymore.

Slash is an Indy artist at this point. He has to play the game somewhat, has to sell records or he has no career.

Unlike Axl, he is having to build a brand from scratch essentially. not easy for a non singing guitarist to build a successful career... So in order to do so, u kinda have to do some dumb shit :Grammy's,Super Bowl etc.. but look at all the exposure u get from that.

So I sometimes give Slash a pass cause he is at least out there using his own name and doing his best to be a success.. If that means he has to do some formulatic radio friendly songs here n there.. I am down with it.

I'm sure, Like the Van Halen album... u will have an entire album full of kick ass rock but a few hit type songs mixed in.

Slash has to do what he can.. i respect that.

Indy artist, what are you smoking? Guy's one of the biggest rock stars on the planet. Everybody knows who he is. He's got so much money coming in just from old royalties that he can do whatever he wants, musically and personally. Like Izzy and Duff are doing. Hell, even Steven can support a heavy habit on his afd minority share.

He sure likes to talk real, but I'm beginning to think he never really was. He participates in all this bs cause it's the easy way to support an affluent lifestyle. He's still got some flex in him musically, but the people he choose to associate with is really diluting it. I don't think he'd even listen to stuff like this song at home. It's all for building an image, collecting a check, being in the spotlight, feeling important. He's lucky he's got so much talent that he can still make some good riffs and solos, cause he really doesn't seem to be all that into it.

Axl is kinda similar, but he gets a pass for never compromising his music or whoring himself out to commericals and silly award shows.

#3570 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash N' Myles Wild Horses for Ali » 742 weeks ago

If an extra chin doesn't count as fat I don't know what does. He's a 47 year old alkie though, so considering it's not that bad.

Wild Horses can never be bad with quality musicians, but that performance was pretty standard fare. Kind of stuff you expect to see on Good Morning America or something. Guess Perla must love all those checks.
