This fucking sucks!!
#6782 Re: The Sunset Strip » EMI To Crack Down On Artists » 959 weeks ago
Here's another example of the industry worrying about quantity way before quality
And failing to adapt to changing surroundings. Instead of looking into future alternative releases (online, a la Radiohead) they pound their fist and say "Do it better so we will sell more!". THis guy won't last. Album sales will continue to decrease, he'll release all his big name acts, and other labels will pick them up.
#6783 Re: Guns N' Roses » Baz: VR or Axl? » 959 weeks ago
Maybe Baz helped Axl years ago and Axl thought he could help him now. Maybe they just had a good time getting high together. Whatever it is doesn't have to be bad, but there almost has to be more to it than just calling him after that long to say hi.
Well yeah I'm sure there's SOMETHING to it. But it just wasn't orchestrated or any reason to do it. They just got together & jammed & did it, recording a few tracks for a friend. I don't think he just woke up & said "I'm going to record on Bach's nexxt album".
I think Neemo may be right, I think Baz heard Axl was in NYC & told someone to tell him he says "Hi". Axl got the messege & asked whomever for his ph#.

i dont wanna subject you to anythign harmful to you....so i gotta tell you that he posted this yesterday afternoon
phew, that's ok 
I was beginning to be afraid if someone asked to do something tonight or have a beer after work I would say "I can't, I have to watch The Young & the Restless"
#6785 Re: Guns N' Roses » If there is a reunion, where do people stand? » 959 weeks ago
I don't get you people who say you have no interest in seeing a reunion.
I'm sorry, but to me that means that you are an Axl Rose fan ... not a GN'R fan. This project of Axl's has had no solid lineup and no album releases. How in the hell can you say that you prefer that to the real deal ? Don't you people like bands who are able to maintain the same band members and release music ?
I agree with what James said yesterday about respecting other's opinions, and it makes the forum a more interesting place, but I honestly don't understand how anyone can say that they prefer this nu era when they really haven't done much of anything. I'm definitely interested in hearing Axl's album, but at the same time, I'm pro reunion all the way.
For all of you guys that said that you'd rather see Axl and his guys on payroll, ask yourself this question ...
Do you normally prefer coverbands to the real thing ?
bba
In their defense I think they are mostly saying "for right now, they have no interest in a reunion" and want CD 100%. That's not to say 5+ years from now they wouldn't accept a reunion.

^^ On soap opera's nonetheless???
I can't beleive I'm about to say this, but I'm going to have to watch The Young & the Restless tonight.. and record it. The channel SoapNet repeats the days soap operas. I'll try to verify any truth to this.
#6787 Re: The Sunset Strip » 24 Season 7 » 959 weeks ago
Wow, that sucks. Alot of shows are F**ed this season. I'm wondering what's going to happen to Lost. As for 24, I don't really watch it, but they should still try to make a season out of it. Either air the 8 this spring & return in the fall, or run them during the summer.
At first I was against this strike, but I read the writers are fighting for $$ from internet release, which I can understand. They should fight for their share from it. A bigger issue is the Directors & Acotrs guilds contracts are up next year & they will want their share of internet revenue as well. The production companies have to give in on this issue. Pretty soon we'll all just be downloading shows & watching them on HDTV monitors, so they need to plan ahead. Remember how the Gilligans Island cast got screwed out of millions for not anticipating the amount of $$ from syndication & reruns??!
FOX is supposedly in the drivers seat this spring, with American Idol they're going to air it just about every night. & the auditions episodes will go on for weeks.
#6788 Re: Guns N' Roses » Baz: VR or Axl? » 959 weeks ago
So Axl is just sitting around and says "I want to call Baz" and he texts him? I don't buy that for a second.
Pretty much... but out of curiousity what do you think it's about?? Related to VR or trying to get publicity or something. I'm just curious to know.
#6789 Re: Guns N' Roses » Baz: VR or Axl? » 959 weeks ago
I think he stumbled into the Axl thing. The picture I got from the Trunk interview was that Axl called Baz, so I think he just kinda walked into a backup plan.
I agree, they happened 4+ years apart. I don't think it's a revenge type thing. And he certainly didn't have it as a "backup plan" in 2002.
either way, he's making better music than VR, so it worked out in the end.
You're kidding right?? I'm just gonna leave this one alone and find out a week after Nov 20th how much better it is!! 
#6790 Re: Guns N' Roses » If there is a reunion, where do people stand? » 959 weeks ago
I want to hear CD. But not an album of TWAT, IRS, CD, Better, Maddy, Blues CITR etc... If I get that, plus 3 other songs, I'll be pissed. I've heard them already. Chances are that's what we'll get, & if so, I'll be disappointed.
It'll be hard for me to consider these guys GnR. Axl's too late IMHO. 2002 with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Manson etc being big was the time. I don't see this album being huge. I've also become annoyed with the delays. I'm more looking forward to Metallica & U2. With Rick Rubin producing Metallica, I think that album will be awesome.
Anyway, I'm with NYG, I wanna see CD released (preferably 2 discs, either simultaneously or a year apart) a tour, then some time off. Then reunion talk & happening.
To answer your question about fans, I guess people would have to be the same way, either get on board with GnR, or jump ship. Even moreso if a reunion ever happened, it'd be pretty hard to make arguments for Robin, BBF, Frank, Tommy etc if Axl was back with Slash & co.
