Look for attention? WTF is that? If I wanted attention, I'd have a lot more than 620 posts. I want people to use their fucking heads instead of following their hearts.
James says it's real so everybody believes? Jesus Christ, you've all lost it. I get that some people are in love with BH and will love everything he does. The part that many of you are missing is what he does is save mediocre songs and make them decent - he also takes crappy songs and makes them mediocre. If that's what GnR is to you, then God bless you, but that's not what it was or ever will be to me. IF this is going to be Guns N Roses then I damn well expect it to live up tp the standards set and I will not settle for less like many of you appear to be willing to do. Other than Better or TWAT, I wouldn't put ANY of the new songs up against the worst real GnR material not named My World because the new songs would lose. TSI is good compared to the majority of the leaks. You guys that love the new band can't even agree on which leaks are good and which ones suck...how the hell do you expect the general public to? It's not going to happen.
If that means I crave attention (not sure how you can make that connection, but whatever), then so be it. I have expectations. I don't settle. I didn't with Snakepit, I didn't with VR, and I'm not going to with Axl's new GnR.

I agree, there's no logic...what makes this "story" any different than all the other internet stories other than you're choosing to believe this one? You believing it doesn't make it any more factual.
As for claiming he's an "insider" - he's claiming to have done something that nobody can verify as fact. That is no different than an "insider" claiming to know something nobody can verify as fact.
Anyway, I've said my peace. As I said before, welcome to the site. Time will tell the rest of the story. Ask me no more questions and you'll get no more responses in this thread.

We can only hope that is right, but why would you leak such bad songs if you want to build buzz...wouldn't you want to leak songs that actually kick ass? Maybe not the best, but certainly better than the majority of what we've heard.

Answering your posts for the most part.
EDIT: Just so I understand this...it's ok for you to jump all over people and label them as fake insiders or call bs on whatever they post (don't make me cite examples as you know they exist), but it's not ok for me to do the same thing? I just want to be clear on this.
#6175 Re: Guns N' Roses » In regards to 9 song GNR Chinese Democracy leaks » 931 weeks ago
You haven't even listened to his remasters, so you popping into this thread to rail on the guy is a bit suspect.
A little bit suspect? Of what?
A little bit suspect is some guy claiming to have done something that he could have gotten from anywhere. A little bit suspect is never joining the forum, but showing up just in time to share his new "work" that he's done. I could just as easily take these from here, go somewhere else and claim the work to be mine, and if it's out of the way enough like this place is, nobody would know the difference. There are a lot of things that are suspect - I'm not one of them.
I haven't listened to them because remastering isn't going to save those pieces of crap. They need to be completely stripped down and not have the majority of the "complex" layers added back in. Then you can see how "good" these songs really are. If downloading them all, listening to as much of it as I can take, then skipping to the next track will make me more "qualified" to post here, just let me know and I'll be glad to do it. Listening shouldn't take more than 10 - 15 minutes (enough time for TWAT and Better).

He got noticed for being a freak show, not because he amazed everybody with his talent...let's make that clear.
He may have subsequently impressed people with his talent, but that isn't why he got noticed at first.

Not in the minority in real life - only in the minority of people that still hang out at the forums, and even that is debatable. Most people that feel like I do don't waste a lot of time posting about it. HUGE difference.
#6178 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who's your dream replacement for Robin? » 931 weeks ago
Joe Perry.

Should I laugh at this? Yes...of course I should...and I will!
hahahahhahhha
Would sort of "proof" do you require?
J
None. I honestly don't give a fuck who you are or what you did. To be honest, there's absolutely no way you could prove it to me anyway, so there's no point in wasting any of our time on it.
Welcome to the site.

look at Ozzy's No More Tears....Mike Inez is given a credit as a bass player and i dont think he ever played a live show with Ozzy
Yeah, but Ozzy wasn't touring as Black Sabbath, he was touring as Ozzy. Axl has created a mess by trying to be Guns N Roses when it obviously isn't Guns N Roses anymore. he could have gotten away with it in 2002, but once a record comes out with all these "guest" performances, everyone will quickly figure out this solo project isn't, nor was it ever, Guns N Roses. My biggest reason for disliking the new band in the past was ruining the legacy of the real band, but Axl has been kind enough to ensure that something like that isn't even possible now. This band will never be Guns N Roses - it will always be Axl's new Guns N Roses...I can live with that.
Now if he could just get the songs to the point that they are listenable, I could actually support this solo project.
Ozzy had been solo, away from Black Sabbath, for some time when No More Tears came out. For some people, Guns N' Roses will and always will be Axl Rose. So while you think it's not, many will disagree. As long as the "voice" of the band is there. I know there are plenty who think the way you do, but there's two sides to every story. Bands evolve, move on. The old lineup played themselves out. While they were still great, they couldn't co-exist. It was time to move on. Axl took the name for better or worse. For people who fail to recognize them as Guns N' Roses, that's too bad, because that's what they are.
To a few fans who never understood what the band was all about, Axl = GnR. To anybody that's been around for the entire 20+ year run, it's obvious that Axl is not, nor was he ever GnR. If he was, there would have been an album released YEARS ago. He is incapable of writing quality material on his own. The leaks prove it and the lack of an album proves it. If it weren't for BH, a large percentage of the few people that really like all the leaks wouldn't like them either. The leaks have layers upon layers of fluff added to make the songs appear complex because they lack quality. Neither is the sign of great material no matter how often a few people here want to say so.
