Duff, Slash, Matt, Dave, Gilby are ALL good friends. Been that way for a long time. Izzy is friends too but not social like the others. Basically everyone from the 92-93 Illussion Tour is very close sans Axl.
Meh... me thinks Axl is tight with Izzy & Duff.
But you have to understand, Axl is under an entirely different situation than the rest of them are. People now look to Axl to be the Captain of the ship. If Axl Instagram's his dinner with Izzy or Duff, suddenly it's "oh my GAWD, new GN'R album on the WAY!!!!"
Axl has brand-considerations that the others don't have to think about once. Maybe that will change now that Slash & Duff are going to be looked at as GN'R. But then again, look at Slash & Duff in GN'R right now. Complete silence. That's all Axl and having them sign NDA's.
I still think Gilby pops up down the line just for a walk on for some Wild Horses and maybe a Paradise City appearence, just as a wink wink, nudge nudge.
Axl has been on good terms with Gilby since 2000. He just doesn't want him back in the band, because he has no interest in writing with him. Same with Sorum.

Justice would be a 50/50 split. Probably won't happen but it should be that way.
50/50 would be so awesome and fitting! And the question was "favorite". If you are a guitar player Slash probably will get your vote. As far as doing stuff for the fans and winning fans over Slash for me. He is the "Guitar Hero" to millions. Lol. I can also see a vote for Axl because he is the voice of GNR where as Slash is the sound. 50/50 would be awesome!
They're all a bunch of bad cops, and I'm the fucking Serpico and they all can SUCK MY DICK

#604 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 563 weeks ago
Yeah I gave up on PC gaming years ago. Mainly because MLB gave up their license to consoles back in the mid-2000's. I know there are a bunch of people that are still really into PC gaming, but to get a proper rig you need to spend major money.
I just recommend getting a PS4. If you are an amateur, starting with a PS3 is fine too, but that generation is already dated by nearly a decade, so, like my main man Jerry Cantrell says... it's Your Decisionnnnn
#605 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Star Wars Thread *NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!* » 563 weeks ago
I personally have felt ALL - OF - THEM - were the same recycling of the same fucking story again and again and again.
I like Star Wars. I really do.
But I don't LOVE Star Wars. The reason why is because there was only two movies imo, New Hope & Empire. That's it. Empire being the superior of the two. The "Aliens" to New Hope's "Alien", or T2 to T1. That's really it.
VI: Jedi just recycled IV: Hope
Then VII: Force recycled IV & VI -- again. (I actually made a comment to my father of being like, "really... another fucking Death Star? Really?")
For all of the shit the Prequels got, the actual plot of those movies was all original and ambitious. I'll give Lucas credit for that. The problem was, they designed the films so badly to sell toys (kind of like Return of the Jedi), that the dialogue was terrible and the acting targeted to children. Not even all audiences. Plus it had awful CGI, even for it's day. Considering it's budget, it was laughably bad.
Despite the piss poor dialogue and rushing of character development, I still have a soft place in my heart for III: Revenge of the Sith. As a straight-forward action/sci-fi film, it's pretty kick ass. Plus the nihilistic ending has kind of that Shakespearean-tragedy thing that Empire had.
Either way, Star Wars is definitely the Halloween of sci-fi franchises. It's kind of the same thing every sequel. Instead of the Boogeyman stalking babysitters, it's a Vadar killing rebels while building a death ray. Over... and over... and over.

To be honest, I had a reaction similar to Layne Staley's death in 2002...
I was shocked it wasn't sooner. 
#607 Re: The Sunset Strip » Reunions » 563 weeks ago
I would LOVE... LOVE...
To see a Deep Purple show with Mk. II & Mk. III mixed together into one with Gillan, Coverdale & Hughes all performing songs with Blackmore and the rest of the band.
Other than that, Pink Floyd (happened), Dio Sabbath (Heaven & Hell), Zeppelin (happened), GN'R (happening RIGHT NOW MOTHERFUCKERS YEAH!)... and yeah, Bri called it.... one final Journey show with Perry on lead vocals.
#608 Re: The Sunset Strip » Glenn Frey dead » 563 weeks ago
The Long Run is a great album and is definitely the pickup if your looking for post-Hotel California. Never understood the shade that was thrown towards that album by casual rock critics. The band was about to break up, yet I think to this day Timothy Schmidt doesn't get the credit he deserves, coming in and replacing Randy Meisner, and yet it seemed like he was treated as an imposter at the time. Feldor must've felt REALLY SLIGHTED considering there was a huge war growing between him & Frey within the band, the war over Feldor getting lead vocals on his songs, and yet Schmidt walks right in to the band, post-Hotel, and gets a lead vocal on cut 2. Frey & Henley might as well said "FUCK YOU FELDOR" on the track while they were at it. There was supposedly resentment there and they were hanging on by a thread.
Regardless, The Long Run finds The Eagles still at their zenith. It's a great album.
Which leads me to The Heat Is On. That's the weird thing about their solo work. At least with Henley, Frey, and Feldor's early-80's stuff, they just sound like lost Eagles cuts. It didn't shock me at all when they reunited, they started working their solo hits into the Eagles setlists.

Rex wrote:I would really like to see the clip where Bernie Sanders says global warming leads to terrorism.
I looked it up, Axlin is referring to this: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter … mate-chan/
So, while he did not say that climate change was responsible for ISIS (which is what you originally claimed, Axlin), he's clearly stating that there is a direct link between global warming and terrorism. I sincerely disagree with the narrative that he's pushing here and am very disappointed that he's not backing down from that statement. Yes, a point can be made that climate change and extreme weather events in poor countries are contributing factors to the rise of terrorism, but no way is it the most important. He's clearly overstating the link to get more support for his climate change plans, which of course takes away from other, more important causes of terrorism that absolutely need to be addressed.
Having said that, as far as foreign policy is concerned, he is the closest thing to a non-interventionist of the bunch after Paul (incidentally the only republican that I could see myself voting for), so I still think that Sanders is the best choice of the front runners when it comes to foreign policy. And if you're a non-interventionist, or a secularist (i.e. if you like Paul), and given Paul's inability to gain traction, I don't think there's a better alternative than Bernie.
Thanks for pointing it out though, I hadn't seen that clip before. It's a damn fucking shame he's really holding on to that position...
I sincerely hope Bernie doesn't actually believe the garbage that spews from his mouth on Global Warming.
The problem is "Climate Change" has become a political football, and has no basis in any sort of scientific fact anymore. I could get into Climate Change being directly caused by all the chemical testing (i.e. Chem Trails, among other tests which have now been confirmed by various sources). The government makes the problem, the corporations make the problem, it adversely affects the climate, and now suddenly the citizenry/taxpayers have to pay for it. Even the Pope is giving speeches talking about how it's our responsibility or otherwise Jesus doesn't love us or whatever.
Unfortunately what's happened is, now you have to be a believer in Climate Change in order to be a "good Democratic candidate". No different than Republicans all have to mark out to God or Christianity, in order to even get consideration.
Climate change is a real thing, but unfortunately it has been bastardized by the Globalists in order to suit their agenda, have raped the land and bankrupted the system... and still... they're trying to find a gimmick (Climate change) to get US to pay for it. It's OUR fault. OUR carbon footprint. While Bernie & Hilary travel the land is SUV's to deliver their "saving the world" message.
Like I said. Bernie strikes me as a man that has good intentions. He just doesn't live in the real world. He's envisions some Star Trek-ian world where all problems are solved and the Federation runs everything fluidly. It's just not realistic.
As crazy as it sounds, true balance would be Donald Trump as President (the face, the image, nothing more), Rand Paul as Vice President (the brains, the actual decision maker), Ted Cruz as Sec. of Treasury, Jesse Ventura as Sec. of Defense, and Bernie Sanders as Secretary of State.
This is the kind of balance we need. Stop with party politics and put people in positions they'd actually be good in and stop with endless wars, endless spending, endless globalism, and get back to the basics of America minding it's own goddamn business, being strong, but also keeping an open mind and not discriminating against others.
TheMole wrote:Rex wrote:I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's not like he said it's the leading cause of terrorism. He's just saying that down the line, shit like that will happen.
I think it works out okay either way, 'cause he's all for not meddling in the middle east and letting the muslim countries take the lead in fighting ISIS. I'm sure a Sanders presidency will have a positive effect on terrorism because of that. And that should be his message, climate change is a different (and admittedly at least as important) topic, no need to conflate the two.
I agree. At least it's something that is being talked about at all in the democrat debates. The Republicans refuse to believe it at all.
That's because, like I mention above -- Climate Change has become a political football. It longer has any basis in reality and exists solely to progress an agenda. The decision has been made that "Liberals believe in Climate Change" and "Conservatives do not" or "Conservatives do not believe in man made climate change" (which is the safer alternative).
The Republicans can't be seen as supporting it, because they decided they wouldn't support it in order to propagate their "left/right" / "blue/red" / "red light"/"green light" illusion of choice we call "voting". Not for any reason of hating the environment, or vice versa, but for the plain simple fact that " 'Publicans are anti-taxes" and anything related to climate change will be pro-taxes, and thus affect their very anti-taxes voting electorate.
In order words, to even remotely support the idea would threaten their power structure. But based on Agenda 2030, it looks like the world's globalists are already on board, and that the UN will be executing and enforcing any of these policies, thereby absolving the GOP of any wrong doing once the time comes for all of these new policies take place.
But they have to keep the paradigm going. If they suddenly were to unify on the issue, the voter base would balk. They still have to ease them into believing they are endanger.
Look towards the coming years to see more and more loss of product or rights that mean alot of Republican voters being blamed on Climate Change (such as the intentional De-valueing of crude oil and rocky stocks), in order to Fear the GOP base into embracing Climate Change "initiatives".

For example:
In the state of FL, there was a huge court/goverment battle with Duke Energy for violating global climate initiatives and pumping excess pollution into the air on the state of FL, and liberal/progressives in the state pushed a fee or violation or punishment being levied to "Set a precedent" that they would no longer stand by and let these Slimey Corporations pollute our world, our state, yada yada yada. Liberals/Progressives in the state were ruled in favor of, and saw it as a huge Environmental Law victory.
All Duke Energy did for the region is cut back usage, cut jobs, and raised prices on customers by triple.
Then they were all outraged, and not a single, goddamn thing, was ever done to rectify it.
This is Climate Change. It's a scam folks. If the government doesn't tax you to death, the corporations will fee you to death. They're in on it together with THEIR science. THEIR grants. THEIR "facts" & "proof".
Sadly, I actually think it's a real thing. But it's been so bastardized, and whored-out to suit an agenda, that were all gonna be ass gaping for, and we didn't even do anything wrong.
Wake up. Put on the sunglasses.
#610 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nightrain Official Site » 563 weeks ago
I love DUFF. This isn't about me taking credit away from Duff. If i'm willing to mark out to Dizzy, i'll obviously mark out to Duff.
But the bottom line is people ain't paying $300 bucks a ticket for Duff McKagan. They just ain't. They got Duff McKagan last year for cheap.
This whole money thing is all Axl & Slash. So why Duff, and not Dizzy? That's the only hypothetical I was ever trying to present, lol.
