Sadly, I find this to be the most interesting current thread going and I haven't watched wrestling in 15 years.

WTF were you doing in Florida?
While I'm here in Minnesota shoveling my driveway every day.
I was sitting by the pool and enjoying Christmas. Ft Lauderdale is a good place to have relatives. I don't miss the snow a bit.

I don't think the kids of today are buying it. I think the old fans are still trickling in to get their copy.

Solos and all? That's not someone who sucks at guitar. Yes their are harder pieces by far, but I wouldn't call the solos on those albums as entry level.
Some of them, but not all of them. I can play songs like DTJ, KOHD, Civil War, and Estranged all the way through. Others like NR and Nightrain I can play almost all of it except for a solo section here and there (NR is tough on the outro runs). Locomotive I have a hybrid of Slash and Izzy parts down (minus the solos). I think I could make a good Izzy in a GnR tribute band, but I could never be Slash. I can play some of his solos, but not nearly enough of them. If there is any speed involved, assume I can't play it (unless it's a riff like Don't Damn Me). I taught myself by playing along with the CDs and the Tokyo DVDs, so I'm sure I do a lot of things wrong technically, but it sounds pretty good for a hack. My brother has played guitar for years and is amazed at how much better I can play some of the material than he can and how quickly I picked it up, but it's just because it's what I wanted to do.
It's amazing what you can do with just a little talent and motivation.

I second that one. I would like to quit again.
My mom died last year (a year ago next Friday) from smoking related illnesses. I hope everyone that's a smoker is able to quit before too much damage is done. My mom had quit for 5+ years when she died, but the damage of 30 years of smoking was done.
If you can't quit for yourself, do it for those that love you. And no matter who you are, someone loves you.

Lose weight. 10 pounds would do it.
Get a guitar and start learning. Buckethead has inspired me. It's late to learn, I'm 35, but I want to give it a shot.
Any advice for a 1st guitar? Acoustic? Electric?
Electric, and it's never too late to learn. It might be too late to become a star, but that doesn't mean you can't own a guitar and enjoy playing it - even if it's just for yourself.
I own 2 guitars (Strat II and a custom Epiphone Les Paul) and will buy a Gibson Les Paul at some point. I suck at guitar. I don't have time to practice and don't have the desire to practice. But I can pop AFD or UYI in the CD player and play most of the songs note for note. It's what I enjoy and why I play guitar. I'll be satisfied if I never learn to play another note. Some people would say that having 2 guitars and buying another is a waste of money for someone with my ability. I enjoy it and that's all that matters to me.

Missed this while I was in Florida.
It wasn't bad until he said IRS had venom. I stopped reading there. It's an ass kisser trying to disguise himself with a complaint about how long it took for the album to be released, yet somehow he uses that fact as the excuse of why it lacks what AFD and UYI had. Shameful article.

Sure you're not just making this up faldor?
It doesn't sound like anything I've heard anybody say. If he gets through all the songs and this person likes every one of them a ton, I'll call bs - until then, I'll just read along mildly amused.

I don't think they've been blacklisted, I think it's a pretty accurate reflection of how little society cares about this version of GnR and CD. We're the ones that have twisted perceptions about the importance of Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses, not the rest of the world.
#5500 Re: Guns N' Roses » LARS ULRICH Holding Up Release of GNR 'Better' Video? » 906 weeks ago
You guys are so negative you even put me to shame by millions of miles.
I don't think I've ever been very harsh on GNR boards before, but for fucks sake, if you don't care, just leave. Post at a board for a band u actually care about.
Very few would be here if they didn't care about the band. A lot/most don't care for what has happened to the band they love over the past 15 years. That doesn't mean that people aren't interested or don't care. It's because people care that they are so negative, otherwise we'd have the same response as the rest of the world, which is "who cares?"
