Nobody will ever realize the amount of bullshit that Axl gets thrown at him on a daily basis. If you only knew the half of it, you would understand. Trust me I don't know anyone out there that could deal with what he has to, to keep a monster like Guns N' Roses rolling and still get on stage and perform like he does. My hat goes off to him. I have nothing but respect for Axl, and always have, even before I joined the band. He is one of the few living legends of our time. He is the real deal, like it or not, he stands for what he believes and wears his heart on his sleeve. He is all about his fans, we all are....thats why we give 200% every concert we do. We love you guys more than life, and we could never thank you enough for all the love and support. See you all soon, until then Im going to sit back, buckle up and enjoy the most dangerous, reckless roller coaster ride of my life!
Amazing he could type that with Axl's dick in his mouth.

Who knows, maybe the band is actually taking a stand against Axl.
You want to see something bad ass rock n' roll... the entire band shows up tomorrow, sans Axl, and performs as Guns N' Roses with Tommy on vocals.
Now THAT would be cool.
Better yet, break out stuff they haven't played live whether it be unreleased stuff or more UYI stuff.

Don't label Josh Freese as Punky Industrial.
I don't think Euphoria Morning sounds like punk or industrial.
Or Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken....
That guy can play anything he wants.
#354 Re: The Sunset Strip » New Soundgarden best of or new album? » 846 weeks ago
Wow... what a wonderful article.
James, one song Cornell wrote in Audioslave that I always wondered about was Shadow on the Sun. I can only dream what Soundgarden would have done.
The problem with the Showbox gig was how fucking crowded it was. You didn't have much room to move because everyone was already dry humping everyone else. There was movement though, but I think mostly these people were just in awe. Because everyone was singing along and screaming the whole time.
Ben also needs to understand that Soundgarden's fan base has gotten a lot older (it wasn't a hipster crowd of a bunch of young kids), and therefore they obviously aren't going to mosh like they did back in '90. There was a lot of older people at that show. And they were energetic, just not in a moshing sort of way.
Also amazing that Cornell's tweet wasn't actually announcing Soundgarden reuniting. And even more amazing that all the fan interest and news stories worked.
I don't like the sound of Pearl Jam being Matt's priority. Pearl Jam can find another drummer. Soundgarden needs him.
Susan may actually be right about Cornell feeling he really has no other options. Scream went down like a turd in a punch bowl and Carry On did marginally better.
Let's hope they keep it together and Ben releases that solo album.

Actually, any mention of Axl on Colbert is when he's ripping into him. I've never seen him say anything positive.
Steven has on Flaming Lips, Apples in Stereo, Devo, and others...I don't think his audience would be especially kind to Axl.
That's how the Colbert Report works in case you haven't noticed.
He's given nothing but the highest praise to George W Bush... anyone believe that he actually means it? 
#356 Re: Guns N' Roses » 1 million fans to get Axl Rose on Larry King » 847 weeks ago
Larry King? No.
Now if you had said The Daily Show or Colbert Report... I'd be interested. Stephen Colbert seems to be a fan.

Don't know about a brand new album. I of course want one but I really don't want a scenario where its the obvious weak link in their discog and is just a sore spot on the band. I don't doubt their talent, but two of the four members have essentially twiddled their thumbs for over ten years.
I mentioned this before, but if studio time is being booked, just rerecord the B sides and various demos over the years and other treasures in the vault and make a fresh album out of it. Would be an album of the decade contender.
I'll take the unloading of the vault in a box set over a new album any day of the week.
I want those covers as well. We have some of them already but Thayil said there was enough for a full album. Let's hear it.
Yeah, the quality of their throwaway tracks is just off the hook. Been listening to a LOT of it lately since doing my daily song thread in the DL section to decide which ones to post for those who may not have heard them. It's hard to choose.
Who said anything about having to choose?
I want both. I think if any band could really pull it off it would be Soundgarden. I know two members have been mostly inactive the past 10 years but they haven't been out of the game. They've just kept so far under the radar that no one ever hears about it.
Right now I'm happy that they are out there kicking ass again. Black Rain is amazing, been listening to it a lot since I got my hands on it yesterday. It amazes me that songs like this have been sitting around for almost 20 years and when released today they still sound fresh and still kick more ass than most of what you'd hear on the radio.
#358 Re: The Sunset Strip » Info on Black Rain » 848 weeks ago
Anyone notice the "Cry on black rain" part of the song. That part was clearly recorded recently. The rest sounds like old Cornell, and that part has that rasp and style that he uses now. It sounds like his recent solo stuff and Audioslave work.
Kinda cool I think. Good song too.
Also makes me think that part was added to the song recently and that's also where the title came from.

TONS of videos including HEAD DOWN and Burden in My Hand.

Videos for Gun, Jesus Christ Pose, and Black Hole Sun. On the main page of that site there's also a clip for Spoonman.
I suspect a boot is on the way as people are now allowed to record.
