#521 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R 2021 Tour Thread » 271 weeks ago
I don't remember which magazine...too many years and drugs ago... maybe RS or RIP....Axl talked about how devastating Izzy's departure was. He couldn't forgive him for it.
He knew how vital Izzy was. Izzy was his Keith Richards. Nothing was ever the same after he left. It still isn't and we're coming up on the 30th anniversary of his departure.
Which is one of the reasons why he (Axl) has only released one album in 30 years. He was the glue to the band.

I've always thought that corona and the effects on the economy would sink him more than the Afghanistan stuff. Because at some point the Afghanistan stuff will fade away but the pandemic? That will stay for a while. Weird thing is he has less control over the pandemic stuff than Afghanistan.

Until Christmas?? Man, that's awful. We're arguing about masks right now. If folks don't want to get vaccinations, okay, but they're clogging up hospitals.
This is an important. It doesn't matter if you live in a red or blue state, the health care system is getting swamped and can't handle the patient overload from the unvaccinated assholes. I mean these people are on ventilators and shit and sucking up resources because they DIDN'T get a vaccine.
Meanwhile, if I need to get some procedure done at the hospital I have to wait and suffer because I chose to do the right thing. Makes no sense.

We'll also see a handful from the later generation die as well.
The 20th century is being wrapped up.
Yup. Probably add Gene Hackman in there (not on the other guys level but he's 92). These guys die off and there's no one adequate to replace them. If you were born in the mid late 70s-early 80s, you're going to see a lot of these people you grew up with die.
#525 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR Release 'Absurd' Single » 272 weeks ago
College football forum I visit has a new thread on this song today. The response is 100% negative. These guys are casual GN’R fans who dig the classic sound. This really seems like we got to see how the world would react in 1991 if My World was released as a single.
Not really surprised at all with this response. This (Absurd) is not a song that casuals will dig. I want to hear the interview and see why this song was released first.

If Biden gets everyone out by end of month, this whole fiasco will be forgotten and the media will return to talking about the nuclear explosion that happened at the Capitol in January.
Nah. That's already been forgotten for the most part. It's going to be about Covid 19 and how it's over running health care, hospitals and communities (all true too).

That's where the focus needs to be. People advocating impeachment are just in lala land as those who wanted it 2 years ago (and again after Trump was out of office). Democrats aren't going to impeach one of their own, just as Republicans didn't (though the standards of evidence are miles apart in this situation). Biden isn't going to resign, nor should he. He fucked up, but I'm tired of people demanding resignation or impeachment because they lost at the ballot.
I agree. People need to know that you got do some serious heinous shit to get impeached. I mean this is a major foreign policy fuckup that will probably cost them some seats in 2022. But as far as impeachment goes, no not even close. I almost hate the way impreachment has been politicized by both sides. It's not a witch hunt tool. It's a last resort thing to me where the President has done a act that is so against whatever the position of the President stands for that you have to get him out of there.
Alright rant over.
#528 Re: The Sunset Strip » Dexter (Spoiler Alert) » 272 weeks ago
I am happy it is going to be run by the same guy that did seasons 1-4. Season 5 was ok but 6-8 minus a little of season 7 were pretty bad with 8 being awful imo
Pretty much in agreement here. Five was watchable (is that the Julia Styles season?). Six is godawful and Colin Hanks is a really boring villan. 7 is not as bad as season 6 or 8 because of the Ray Stevenson parts. Eight is the worst because it was really boring and didn't make much sense at all. It was a real chore to get through that.
Dexter was definitely a show that had dimminishing value as you went through the seasons. Honestly, if someone asked me, I would just watch s1-s4 and skip the rest. You're not missing out much.

On the one point you sort of made, Trump is being heavily criticised for the deal he made, now that folk understand the implications of it. He is being held accountable. Biden is being held more accountable because the admin he is in charge of executed this plan.
Yeah, I don't think Trump (or any other past president really) should escape critcism for this disaster but Biden is the one in charge and implementing the policies (or not). I mean the US just seems less organized and more chaotic than other countries, just on a visceral level. And that is not even considering all the other aspects of it.
