#471 Re: Guns N' Roses » Looks like rehearsals have started! » 553 weeks ago
I still got the feeling Matt could be doing a psych-out. But Adler being apart of this will be really special. He hasn't share a stage with Axl, Slash & Duff together since 1990. 1990!!!! History in the making.
But I still think we see Matt & Gilby at some point, just as "hey look, there's those guys! Come on and jam Wild Horses & Dead Flowers with us"
That will happen at some point imo. But just as a guest spot for fun mostly.
Adler... there's gotta be a financial element involved.
#472 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2016 Summer Stadium 'Not In This Lifetime' Tour » 553 weeks ago
I gotta say, I love the naming of the tour. Very Eagles to go that route. VERY Eagles. Playing on their own words.
But...
I think they MIGHT be over-shooting this. I mean, think Toronto right off the bat. Rogers Centre right off the bat, is an old school baseball dome (not many of those left). Like Neemo said it's like 50,000+ capacity. Now in Canada, they'll probably do well. Isn't it the only Canada show? I might've missed it.
But to do THIS MANY STADIUMS... umm... I don't know man. They weren't this much of a stadium act WITH METALLICA on the bill -- in BOTH their heydays. This might be a hard sell in 2016.
I for one can attest, I can only afford so much to be at the Orlando show. I have a price limit myself. If it was AFD 5 (Money is no object), or even just Izzy being there, but 2014 Guns + Slash... only so much i'm gonna pay. If it's reasonable (even double normal rates), i'm fuckin' there. But triple? Ehh...
I'm still curious to see what Axl vocally is gonna be. I have no doubt the band will be slammin'

This reporter is HORRIBLE.
God you know that cringe-worthy moment when faux journalists pretend they know what the fuck they are talking about when they haven't a clue because all of their copy was prepared beforehand. 
#474 Re: Guns N' Roses » GUNS N' ROSES Tour To Expand Beyond U.S.; THE CULT To Open Select Date » 553 weeks ago
The Cult is one of my favorite bands. GN'R is hitting literally everyone on my all-time favorite artists list with their openers. Wish I could be a Deadhead (or Deadhorse) and chase them around to see these shows everywhere with different openers.
So AIC in the US, The Cult overseas. Interesting choice to say the least. They clearly have no worries about needing a major opening act for the tour. The Cult put zero asses in seats on this tour.
Its also like going back in time. I wouldn't be surprised if an offer isn't made to Skid Row at some point in the future. The Cult shows its a possibility.
Come on now. The Cult has a fanbase. Don't act like they don't, but yes, there will be no one who's gonna shell out $300 bucks for Cult tix. Sadly the last major hit they had was that soundtrack song on Gone In 60 Seconds back in 2001, and even then it was kinda the last gasp. Regardless, they've continued to put out quality records. Their most recent album was solid, and sounded like it was trying to be a sequel to Ceremony with shades of Cult '94 thrown in.
Skid Row isn't getting an invite. Even if they got Bach back, I doubt they'd get an invite. Faith No More is more likely, and that certainly ain't gonna happen with how much Patton is a dick.
Skid Row just lost Tony Harnell, which was their most legit lineup since Bach, and right now they are singerless, and acting like they STILL have no interest in getting back with Bach. They are apparently fine with playing in front of 300 people on Stage 12 at festivals, rather than making real money.
If this GN'R tour is a success... EVERYONE will want the money that comes from opening. Wouldn't be shocked at all if Soundgarden got called -- again. If AIC can do it, so can SG.
#475 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL In ACDC??? » 553 weeks ago
All of this is frankly shocking. I actually joked with my mother when Brian Johnson went down, "hey they should get Axl", and we both looked at each other then laughed.
Then I informed her the other day... it wasn't such a joke. She was stunned to say the least, and couldn't wrap her mind around what I was saying.
Nobody believes Axl would be apart of this. It'd be like GN'R being out there, Axl going down and Slash calling Mick Jagger to replace Axl. These things just don't happen. You don't replace Hall of Famers with Hall of Famers. It's just unheard of.
At the same time, the only way this happens imo is if Angus is simply trying to fulfill the dates and hang up the band. But then again, if you believe the rumors, Brian was handed his walking papers lightning quick, and they were anxious to be rid of him. Which means Angus is thinking of a future.
The whole thing is just bizarre. But Angus is going to need a name to replace Brian in order to continue AC/DC as a stadium act, and under that idea -- Axl makes sense.
Regardless of what happens, obviously GN'R is going on as planned.
#476 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 553 weeks ago
Love it. Love that it's called "Not in this Lifetime". Eagles already took Hell Freezes Over, but it's so funny and ironic that Axl said what he said of "Not in this Lifetime" and it trended a tad on TMZ and others.... then to use it later for something this mammoth.
GN'R being GN'R again. And being the #1 thing in rock right now.

I hope Trump takes his big American dick and sticks it in the gaping asshole that is Washington and lets off a huge steaming load of truth!

#478 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 557 weeks ago
Blackhat
Worst Michael Mann film since The Keep. So many things were wrong with this one. The script sucked, the cast sucked, the good actors like Viola Davis & John Ortiz had fuck nothing to do with their characters, their lines were ham-fisted, and the score sucked.
It sucked. Hard. Stories about hackers are fucking boring. Then the final act turns into Heat/Collateral/Miami Vice, suddenly it's good and true blue Mann. You never really even knew what was going on at any given time because the dialogue was crap, and the actors murmured most of their lines. You kept waiting for this huge mystery to be revealed that never came. And when it did, it was anti-climatic. Some shit about some asshole wanting to flood some African village or something. You could've cut 1 hour & 15 minutes out of this film. Maybe more.
VERY inconsistent and a real miss from Mann
** 2 stars out of 4 -- Fair
And that's only for the gorgeous cinematography. Sometimes it looked like a Chris Nolan film, then I reminded myself that Mann did it WAY before Nolan, and Nolan copied him. It's a shame Michael Mann can't get a good script to work with, like something from Jonah Nolan. I could totally see a Michael Mann-directed "Person of Interest" movie. That'd be epic.
#479 Re: The Sunset Strip » Netflix's "House Of Cards" » 557 weeks ago
I watched Season 1, but it's a hard watch for me. It's SOOOO GOOOD, but it's also VERY accurate about America's current political system.
I can't watch it without getting VERY infuriated. So I just skip it...
Spacey deserves lifetime Emmy's for the role of Frank Underwood though. Reminds me alot of Larry Hagman & J.R. Ewing with his southern charm and devious ways.
#480 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Walking Dead » 557 weeks ago
I'll be done with this show after Season 6. It's not bad, but i'm ready to move on to Fear The Walking Dead perminately. Time for a fresh group, and change of pace.
