I have a not so bad feeling about this too. It doesn't appear to have an artificial emphasis on "diversity" which many feared. There are no big stars just for the sake of it. It looks like they chose this group because it fitted the story, and that's good.
Now let's hope they manage to craft a great story true to the Star Wars values. That will be the real jugular.
I agree good sir. The story and if this film turns out good and watchable is the real test.

The main cast has been announced officially for Episode VII. Not including any cameos or support cast members. I have a "good" feeling about this. It's some pretty strong picks. They got Serkis..they have my attention. Alot of people are upset that Billy Dee Williams isn't in the official posting; but he could maybe show up for a scene or two in the film in a more supporting role/bit cameo. The main reason I think it's his health and physicality. The man is up there in years and just isn't in good health. Neither is Peter Mayhew; but he's on the list for the time being. Mr. Williams is back at his chair to compose the score which is always a pleasure.

That concept sounds promising. They deserve to put out something.

Apparently Cage is just a big fan.
When did you first discover Guns N' Roses? What's your favorite Guns N' Roses song? What's your best Guns N Roses memory? What does the band mean to you?
Nicolas Cage [ Face/Off, Leaving Las Vegas, Drive Angry, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance] : I think Axl is one of the great writers of the last century; his piano playing is amazing and that song "Prostitute" is incredible! Guns N' Roses is outstanding.

Beat me to the punch.

Why Cage did Axl introduction? Is there a connection between the gentlemen or was him just a random celebrity who golden gods' production team lured to participate? Maybe i was raised in a barrel but didn't recognise most of the guys presenting nominees. A lot of old chubby men dressed funnily. I guess metal people are just different.
Cage is not only a huge Superman fan; but also a fan of GNR and Elvis. I even read in an interview he said he was a fan of CD especially the song, Prostitute which he called "amazing".

I missed out on the stream and Axl's speech after or before Guns' performance. Is it going to be put on Youtube very soon? Anything worth watching and listening to?

Saw Captain America: The Winter Solider a couple weeks ago. Badass movie and probably the best put together of the Marvel solo films. It's got something for everybody. Chris Evans owns that role.
I'm going to a festival next week; so I may check out a movie the day before the concert sets. Maybe Oculus or Amazing Spidey 2. Not sure.
#568 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR to perform at Golden Gods award show/ lifetime achievement for Axl » 655 weeks ago
Yeah I still would love to have heard vocals on that track! By Grohl or Axl.
Agreed!!

misterID wrote:Duff doesn't need the money. From all accounts he's well taken care of from some very smart business investments, not to mention his wife's income. I'm sure it comes down to Duff really wanting to play with Axl. If the Microsoft investment was true, Duff has more money than all of the past and present members of GN'R combined... and then some. The dude is very, very wealthy, either way. Duff don't need no bones thrown his way
And Izzy no showed the HOF too and played a gig with Axl around the same time, and after. And I wouldn't be shocked if he made an apearance at this thing as well. I expect Tommy to be there too.
Yeah. Duff got lots of cash. The guy just toured the world with Walking Papers. He's got one hell of a catalog of writing credits too he makes money from:
Guns N Roses
Velvet Revolver
Some Janes Addiction- Last ALbum
Loaded
Walking PapersHe's played with a LOT of people too
Bach's new album
Izzy's Solo Stuff
Mark Lannegans Solo StuffHe's also got like a journalism job and a banking job...
He's not in need of cash.Looks to me like old friends burying the hatchet.
Same here. Not everything is about money. Duff is one of several rock stars out there that turned his life fucking around and made some good decisions physically and financially. He's not scraped for cash in the royalities department. Just playing with some friends. It seems like he really gets along with alot of current band members besides just Tommy and Axl.
