Wow, he actually italicized "thrilled" too.
#6252 Re: The Garden » Post Your Pic Thread - Let's see what you look like! » 944 weeks ago
I was downtown last night & we stopped off at the Art Museum steps (the one's Rocky climbed). It's actually one of the best views in Philly, so thought I'd take a picture for you all to see (sorry for the low quality, they're from a cell phone).
The bright building on the left is City Hall. It used to be the tallest building in Philadelphia due to a gentlemans agreement up until 1985 when the newer skyscrapers were built (now 2nd tallest building in the city). We haven't won a sports championship since (25 years, 4 teams, 100 seasons, The Curse of Billy Penn 
) The tallest is brand new and they put a miniature statue of Billy Penn at the top in hopes of breaking the curse!!
As if it couldn't get any more cliche a prom showed up.

I just realized Kid Rock makes a bit of sense. Fits the style, possibly is available. Was always more like a solo artist than in a band anyway, so wouldn't really need to 'break up' with anybody. I know he put an album out a little while ago, not sure if he's still touring behind it or not.

^^ Nice post Pride.
I've been drinking some Czech beer lately (Vyzkovske Pivo) & that is some heavy stuff. Only 5% alchohol but after 5 beers I'm sleeping on the couch. Tastes like a micro-brew. Also I got a Polish beer last time, Zywiec, good stuff.

So if robin is gone...what kind of time frame can we expect a comment from GNR? Will they wait till a replacment is found?
IMHO it'll be like BH. Just drift off into the unknown until something needs to be official (BBF's first show).

I just bought Walk Hard on blu-ray today so I'm hoping it's good.
I heard this was really bad. Let me know what you thought of it.
#6257 Re: Guns N' Roses » My Current Theory » 944 weeks ago
I don't want to make this a bash your theory thread, so I'll post mine:
Album Complete.
Axl & label holding up for some $$ issues. Neither is budging. My guess, Label wants to withhold the first $13 mil Axl would earn (ie. Everything) since he recv'd this in an advance. Also, as a previous post stated, digital downloading is being debated. My other guess, the contract is 10+ years old, and doesn't speak of downloading since it wasn't around back then. Axl figures he owns the rights to download digitally and should get all the revenue from iTunes, the label feels the contract needs to be reworked. Axl ties the two together & states well if we can rework that we should rework the $13 mil advance. Hence, a stalemate.
Robin no longer a contracted employee of GnR (although Axl assumed the members would stick around. Isn't BBF said to be working on more solo stuff).
Robin joins NIN freely, since he doesn't have a contract or boss he'd need to inform.
Oh and the Dr Pepper was just that, a very clever marketing press release. No ties to GnR after all. Probably was supposed to be sent on April 1st though. Just my humble opinion.
#6258 Re: The Garden » 8 teens charged in videotaped attack » 944 weeks ago
Its not really the violence of it that disturbs me so much, its the total lack of conscience these girls demonstrated.
and the "entrapment".. The girl obviously tried to leave, just let her. But they lock her in and don't let her go.
#6259 Re: The Garden » 8 teens charged in videotaped attack » 944 weeks ago
^^ That really is. I heard it was something to do with myspace, i didn't know it was that.
It really was disturbing, not a catfight but just sick, & punching and teaming up against 1 girl. Even though all 8 didn't jump her, if she fought back against 1 of them another could have jumped in. In 1 clip I heard a girl yell to her "Fight back, it's fair, it's 1 on 1. So fight". Just a disturbing outlook on it. Also they said most of the clips shown took place AFTER the girl had originally been fought & knocked out. Just sick.
DTJ I heard that about the girl not wanting to miss cheerleading practice. They should post their names even though they're minors so the rest of their lives if ever they are googled this story comes up.
#6260 Re: Guns N' Roses » Del James comments on Robins status » 944 weeks ago
I am really starting to think Robin's contract was a salary for "studio time" only and an additional contract created for the 06 & 07 tour. With the album finished, and Axl taking his time with putting it out & holding it up with the label, Robin was left off payroll (not that he was struggling to make ends meet, just no contract or income). Trent offered him a tour with NIN, so he accepted it, figuring the album is done, he's on it, who knows if & when it'll ever get released but he did his part.
