This, me too.

It usually shocks people when I talk, it's low, then I make an example, or act something, or publicly speak, or sing... and it's infinitely higher, almost like another human being walked into the room.

Years of abusing it and age, have just made it lower and lower and raspier/gruffer.

I actually will sometimes "act" a voice on the phone, for professional reasons or personal reasons to not sound fucked up. I can't do it forever or I lose my breath, but it just makes it easier for people to hear & understand me and not label me as some backwards redneck, when i'm not.

It's kind of like the Dave Chappelle bit of black people having office talk for white people and you have "street" talk for everybody else. Same thing.

Agreed, and Axl S nailed it too in his proper Pitman defense. I just knew that GN'R reuniting, would take the Slash fans and put them on fucking 'roids and go nuts. They're getting a goddamn GN'R reunion -- a fucking reunion --- and they still got negativity to bring.

You know what i'm over? I'm fucking over, every single person in the media referring to Dizzy Reed as "new Guns", or "post old Guns".

No he fucking isn't. Dizzy Reed is in the fucking Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Guns N' Roses.

If all of you nutswingers with your "GN'R doesn't have a keyboardist", then put your money where your mouth is.

Go listen to Appetite & Lies, masturbate, and repeat tomorrow, and fuck off. That band is dead! Cool?

Since 1990... 1990... 19 fucking 90 -- 26 mother fucking years -- GN'R has had a keyboardist.

Let... it... go...

Even if you get the AFD 5, it'll be + Dizzy Reed. Which is how it fucking should be, and how Axl wanted it in 1987, but Slash & Duff vetoed it.

They don't NEED them no, and yes it looks insanely retarded to see a GN'R guitarist exit-stage-left, sitting on the sidelines not doing anything because he has no part to play...

But i'm sorry, New Guns, any incarnation, was a WAYYYYY tighter live band, sounded infinitely better than the old band, at every turn, and it was because of the additional musicians, and lack of drug use.

But yeah, the swing was missing, the groove was missing, and sterilizing all took The Blues Brothers-vibe out of it, I agree.

Still sounded better tho

No shit. Trunk used to be the guy to break news in rock/metal, but he's too branded now, and has become a parody of himself in ways. I enjoy his straight-forward, no bullshit manner, but he picks and chooses who he criticizes, and throws the word "friend" around too much for people I think don't give a damn about him.

The other day I saw/heard an interview with him talking about the GN'R reunion, and although Eddie never used the word himself, he was described by Consequence of Sound as "Guns N' Roses #1 Fan -- Eddie Trunk", all of the sudden with the reunion he's GNR's #1 fan, when Eddie himself in the past has publicly said he wasn't a big fan of GN'R back in the day, he thought Appetite was a good rock record, but was overrated, and hated and despised when people called GN'R a metal band when they weren't. He also said he didn't care for the Illusions and thought Chinese was okay.

Now he's buddies with Slash, Gilby & Steven and suddenly he's their #1 fan.

I still think he's the best hardcore rock/metal interviewer out there though.

So we're Cubs fans now. If we even say the phrase "Win the World Series", we've jinxed it, it's all over, we ruined it.

Blame It On The Falun Gong

But the good news is, we're gonna get a GN'R album of nothing but Adele & Lana Del Rey covers called "The Lo Mein Incident?"

I hope to God that is the name of the next album. That'd be so friggin' perfect!

Black Widow ftw

And I want to personally go on record, and say for all those people that keep bugging that girl from "Force Awakens" that played Rey (Daisy Ridley) and how much she looks like a young Kiera Knightley...

She looks NOTHING like Kiera Knightly. She looks better, and it pisses her off when people do it, so they need to stop.

Wow, never thought about the Lottery #'s. Maybe I should've rushed out for that Powerball ticket, lol.

As for GN'R dreams, the only dreams i've ever had were music-related.

How's this for something weird...

Years ago, like you, also during the dark period from 2003-2005, I had a dream that I was on my laptop playing Chinese Democracy (obviously years before it was released), and there was this Moby-ish song (now I knew about Moby producing stuff then), and I heard Axl's vocals, heard some of the chorus, but mostly remembered the melody. I would hum it afterwards, and this went on. Somehow I just felt in my heart/gut, that it was "Prostitute". I don't know why, but I did.

Fast-forward to 2008. "New Song #2" leaks, and although most, if not almost all of the lyrics were new to me, the instrumentals struck me like the power of God. It was the EXACT song, with the EXACT melody that was in my head back in the mid-2000's a few years earlier from that dream.

That's why then I kept saying "New Song #2" was Prostitute, even before the lyrics were deciphered.

I just didn't say anything then, because I feared being lambasted and called crazy, but yeah.

Maybe I Remote Viewed the future or some shit that night and had no clue what was going on.
