Yeah that recent Ghost record was solid DCK. I wish they'd do more instrumental stuff on their albums ala Metallica.

Wolfie would probably write all bass material. I don't see Eddie letting Michael do anything, and if you believe Eddie, he always wrote that stuff anyways.
But with DLR ready to move on and having other stuff to do, Wolfie with Tremonti in the downtime from Alter Bridge & Creed... I don't know... the planets might align for a Van Hagar reunion.
It certainly would keep the lights on for the time being. It wouldn't last very long anyways. Sammy & Eddie can only handle so much of each other.

William is touch and go for me, but I still love them dearly.
It's gonna be a real trip to see my two favorite bands play together.
Anybody know if Cantrell has made any movement on the new AIC album? Last I heard he was writing songs, but we're going on three years now since Devil Put Dinos Here.

Saw this on Crass Communication
Psychologists and massage therapists are reporting ‘Trump anxiety’ among clientsIn recent days, at least two patients have invoked the Republican front-runner, including one who talked at length about being disturbed that Trump can be so divisive and popular at the same time, said Howard, who practices in the District.
Hand-wringing over Trump’s rapid climb, once confined to Washington’s political establishment, is now palpable among everyday Americans who are growing ever more anxious over the prospect of the billionaire reaching the White House.
With each new Trump victory in the GOP primaries, Democrats and Republicans alike are sharing their alarm with friends over dinner, with strangers over social media and, in some cases, with their therapists. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll showed that 69 percent of Americans said the idea of “President Trump” made them anxious.
Bet your ass they're scared. They all criminals up there. Trump is telling it like it is, specifically on them
That's why they're anxious. The free ride ends the day he walks into office.
Here's the problem (and unfortunately this is the sad truth): the only way someone not from the establishment is ever going to change things is by being outrageous. There's no other way to do it. Plenty have tried and failed. It has to be a Trump or someone like that, but just because he starts it doesn't mean he has to be the one to finish it. Someone else more reasonable can come along with a similar message but a more subdued approach. Maybe that ends up being Carson. Maybe it's someone else. But the only way you're getting a foot in the door is to kick it down and that takes someone like Trump whether we like it or not.
Spot on. This is what i've been getting at in this thread. Trump could be Satan himself, but most people who are voting for him and WILL defeat Hillary with him, are people who would vote for a fucking shit-flinging Chimp, for no other reason than the establishment doesn't want it.
Trump is literally America's "fuck you" to the system. And I fucking love him for it.
I hope he wins so goddamn bad, just so all those warmonger mother fuckers can get ulcers at the thought. They WILL do a brokered election is Trump doesn't play ball with them, and right now it looks like Romney is getting the push.
The other night, the guy who co-wrote The Project for a New American Century with all the other warmongers up there like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Kissenger... basically said he'd vote for Hillary, if it came down to Trump.
Why is this?
BECAUSE HILLARY IS IN ON IT. She's a Bilderberger, she's an insider. Most insider GOP think she's a Neo-Con Democrat, with her foreign policy, not to mention Bill's history as one of the most notorious Conservative Democrats in recent memory. Never forget it was Bill who passed some of the toughest ANTI-GAY legislation ever, but hey, the big bad Christian Republicans are gonna get us.
Trump forever
And that John Oliver video... funny... get back to me when that Limey pussy has the BALLS to do a video JUST LIKE THAT on Hillary... he won't. Know why? He's fucking employers WILL NEVER LET HIM.
Vote Trump. Afterall don't you want a President with a big fucking American dick? I sure do.
Time to blow the system sky high

How did Ezrin curse CD?
Bob was right. There were NO FUCKING SINGLES! Nothing to push it. At all. Thus the bomb.
And keep in mind, the version of the album Ezrin heard DID NOT have Better on it. Chinese sounded more like Oh My God, and TWAT was a fucking mess.
Ezrin was right. When those 2000 demos leaked, I realized Axl wasn't the genius I always thought he was. To think, the insiders said Axl thought that version of the album was finished.... wow.... fucking wow.
Taime Downe of Faster Pussycat called... "hey Axl, it could use a few more bars here n' there"

Axlin16 wrote:I want to say years later in an RS interview he named dropped AIC & PJ as being personal faves. He was a huge Soundgarden/Cornell fan way back in the Loder interviews, and before Kurt was a complete dick to him for no reason, wore Nirvana hats & shirts everywhere.
I remember an interview from that time. Nirvana was sitting there like a bunch of small hipsters and talking shit about Axl. They recounted a story about Kurt making fun of Axl, then acting all surprised when he got pissed at them. They all came off like entitled children who thought they had the moral superiority to tear down everything.
Made me realize why rock died. It got depressing and destructive. In my opinion the grunge area isn't even rock, it is post rock. The genre taken to its final conclusion. After that it was a wasteland. The nu metal and emo bands that came after that were the death cramps.
I wouldn't say grunge was post-rock or inferior, but yes I do agree they finished rock to it's logical conclusion. To me industrial rock was an off-shoot of metal, and Ministry had been around for years at that point, so White Zombie & NIN weren't treading new ground.
Grunge's legit place in rock will always be in it's early years, like Sub Pop, before it exploded in popularity. Alot of Bleach is noise rock, certainly Soundgarden's first two, Ultramega OK is a fucking masterpiece, definitely The Melvins & Mudhoney during that period... but even by the time Facelift & Apple came out in 1990, both of those records by AIC & Mother Love Bone were VERY polished.
That last EP that White Zombie put out in 1989 was their last gasp as well. Throw Metallica and Injustice on that list as well.
By 1990 the funeral had started. By 1992, it was dead.
P.S.
I agree. The band members of Nirvana & Pearl Jam seemed VERY obsessed with "being cool" to the MTV audience. Way more than GN'R ever was. AIC, SG, and especially the industrial rock outfits couldn't give a flying fuck. God bless 'em.
#490 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy Stradlin 'Stuck in the Middle With You' » 557 weeks ago
I'm with SG
Izzy is sending VERY specific, hidden messages. He's not stupid. There's something that went on behind the scenes, we don't know about.
I think he wanted a 25% take, and they balked. All three of them.
