#441 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty » 694 weeks ago
So I called my wife over to check out the vid on the first page of this thread and she goes "who's that". I say "It's Axl" she goes "he looks friggin aweful, he looks like he's been bitten by a bee".

They've sent out a questionnaire to people, I can't be bothered to fill it in. I get the sense this is one big market research ploy. If it leads to more stuff getting released, fair enough, but the site itself doesn't seem interesting at all.
Yeah I got that questionnaire too. Honestly they can either let me sign up or fuck off, I'm not jumping through hoops like a dog filling in surveys or writing essays. GNR have no credits in their online profile bank account as far as I'm concerned so they are in no position to try and make me do shit just to sign up. A band like Metallica that have a track record of doing cool shit for fan club members and other shit online, I would jump through hoops. GNR - hmmm well....
This is the email they sent:
We hear ya knockin’
And we are keen to get you into the Guns N’ Roses community - ParadiseCity.com!
As you may have picked up from our twitter @ParadiseCityBP, we’ve been testing out the basic functions on the platform with a relatively small and limited group.
Over the next 10 or so days we’ll be looking to open up more invites to roll out some new features and execute some technical and stress tests. After all, if there’s one thing the world has come to learn the hard way, GN’R fans can easily bring a system to its na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, knees. This means we’ll be looking to open up another 1,000 invites. That’s the good news. The “not so good” news is we have over 100,000 who have come to the ParadiseCity.com looking to play.
Sooooooooooo, to help us bring ParadiseCity.com to life and try to get more people faster, we’ve set up a survey to help us get to know you better and how you can help us with this next stage.
We are hoping to get through this phase before the end of February and open up the community to all who have requested invites soon thereafter!
NOW, if you feel you are ready to have us bring you down to the Paradise City, please take a few minutes to complete the survey here at this link.
Thanks,
ParadiseCity.com

Read this the other day, very sad for the poor guy!!! Looks like The Angels won't be supporting GN'R with ZZ Top. I hope Doc can beat this terrible disease although it doesn't sound good.
To all The Angels friends, fans, venues and media
It is with deep regret and shock that The Angels have to announce that Mr Doc Neeson was admitted to hospital over the recent Christmas/New Year period. He has just been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, (brain tumour).
This will require immediate intensive radiation and chemotherapy treatment and will continue for the next 6-7 months. Unfortunately, due to this, The Angels therefore have no choice but to cancel all their upcoming dates.
The Angels would like to thank all the fans for their continued support and we wish Doc all the best for his treatment during this difficult time. The Angels look forward to seeing everyone again once Doc is given the all clear to return to the stage.
Sincerely,
for and on behalf of The Angels

#444 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Definitive Chinese Democracy Leaks Thread » 695 weeks ago
Personally I just find HTGTH entertainment value these days. I will have a brief lurk there for a laugh every once in a while then move on. Jarmo's been pretty consistent since he did his 180 degree turn on Slash and VR 6 or 7 years ago. Since then the site has been a cheer squad only zone for the band and he makes no apologies for that. If anything he has probably just got blunter over time in highlighting his position and how people should use the forum or GTFO.
Once upon a time it was subtle how conversations were steered towards only seeing the positives and spinning anything that happens. Now it's pretty much "fuck off" if you have anything negative to say. I can't blame him he's probably tired debating and trying to get others to give GNR the benefit of the doubt and see the sliver liniing every time things go tits up with GNR.
I find it funny though that people still want to go there just to argue with him. He's not going to change his opinion on anything until Axl does, no matter how logical or thought out an argument is, so people are just wasting their time.
As someone else said, that Halo dude has been desperate to be an insider or get in on the leaks bandwagon for ages. I could understand if he was a teenager just trolling people on the net or desperate for attention. But the dude claims he has a good job and a family etc etc. If that's the case why is he playing childish games? Even if he has some material - so what. He claims he's never going to share it so why even mention it. The guy is clearly craving attention.

Cool I've never seen that before!
#446 Re: The Garden » NASA’s Curiosity rover finds ‘flower’ on surface of Mars » 696 weeks ago
It doesn't look like a flower to me but it certainly looks unique compared to everything else we see in photos from the planet.
It looks more like a gold nugget or some other element in a nugget/rock like form.
#447 Re: Guns N' Roses » www.paradisecity.com » 696 weeks ago
I tried to register out of curiosity to have a look. Obviously not expecting much given their track record if the band or "management" are somehow involved.
#448 Re: Guns N' Roses » www.paradisecity.com » 696 weeks ago
Yeah I tried to sign up too, it was just a straight registration page no essay required or anything so I filled it in. I Never heard anything back either Monkey.
We like the current band and the old and we like buying stuff, clearly they don't want fans like that. Lol
#449 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Australian Tour 2013 » 697 weeks ago
I used to think he was saving the UYI stuff as a bit of an ace up the sleeve in the event of a reunion. Obviously that ain't happening so I don't know.
Maybe the UYI stuff is more challenging vocally for him. I have heard Slash respond when asked about playing more UYI stuff that he wouldn't inflict learning all the lyrics onto Myles. Some of those songs like Locomotive are chock full of lyrics. Similarly maybe Axl finds getting all the lyrics to a song like that or Coma difficult these days.
Or maybe Axl just doesn't like those songs as much. I thought I read once where he said words to the effect that those songs bring back bad memories for him.
#450 Re: The Garden » Elementary School Shooting in US » 697 weeks ago
See, that's just it Neemo. You don't get to tell us that something this country was founded on is outdated. You're talking to someone that doesn't own a gun here, not some crazy NRA apologist. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's wrong. It means you don't understand it. What you said is completely insulting to me as a US citizen. I understand you didn't mean it to come out that way, but that's exactly how it comes out. You don't know what's best for us. You have no idea what is best for us; you have no understanding of our culture. All you guys go by is what you see on tv or what you hear on the news which is nothing like what it is to live in 99% of the country.
You worry about your country and let us worry about ours. If everyone thinks we're so idiotic, maybe it's about time we stopped helping anybody else and only worried about us.
Well I'm not saying I disagree with it but isn't the US foreign policy based on going into other cultures/countries and telling them what's good for them and how society should be. Do you really understand them? Do you really have any idea whats best for them? Maybe some of these places are happy with something different from what the US thinks is ideal? Are you not insulting them?
Also, the US don't seem to be too happy with other countries arming themselves to protect against their bad guys? Isn't the best protection against a dick with a gun another gun? Obviously not in all circumstances.
Again not saying I disagree with US foreign policy but just playing devils advocate, particularly when people from outside of the US are being accused of not understanding their culture and therefore couldn't know what's best for them. Ummmmm what are you guys doing?
Maybe sometimes people from outside can see things a little clearer as they are not so close to it??? They can actually see what's possible as they are not anchored with the traditional way of thinking and can see an alternative.
