#721 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy reportedly in GN'R and wrote new music » 565 weeks ago
Again... take Niven's word with a huge grain of salt.
I HOPE he's right. However we've known of Izzy writing with Axl since 2001, and its resulted in ZERO released Izzy/newGN'R songs.
#722 Re: Guns N' Roses » Looks like rehearsals have started! » 565 weeks ago
There's certain aspects of the demos that are far superior, and others that were improved, such as the final version of TWAT is an amazing masterpiece. Easily the best song on the album. The demo versions of Better & IRS are better.
I still would love to hear the full 2000 Intentions version of the album.

He is a tool and also worked with tool.
You're just bitching 'cause you want Teddy "Zig Zag" back, and the 976 Horn section for all that money you paid. 
#725 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 565 weeks ago
I feel the exact opposite. I think he gets too much shit from the hardcore base.
Niven is full of fucking shit. ID is right. He's the biggest shit stirrer in existence. The only time I remotely believed him was when Axl spoke in his own defense of the acquisition of the band name, and Niven backed up Axl's story of the events, and considering the two fucking hate each other worse than childhood AIDS, I believed Niven.
Beyond that, the guy has made his disdain for Axl clear, which is fine, he's hated, but alot of the time Niven's shit doesn't even make sense.
Like this. Niven's claims make no fucking sense. Izzy supposed slated a meeting with Axl to talk about performing at the RNRHOF, i'm assuming in 2012 when they got inducted. Axl no showed, Izzy waited for 2 hours, and he was pissed. Right?
Then why the fuck did Izzy, who was so incensed by this, turn around AFTER THE HALL OF FAME, and perform with Axl and the new Guns in London, practically right the fuck after?
Again, some of what Niven says doesn't make sense. BUT... I will say this... Izzy has been kinda absent since. Hmmm....
#726 Re: Guns N' Roses » Howard Stern talks GNR Coachella reunion » 565 weeks ago
For the casuals -- Howard
For the diehards -- Eddie
Eddie ftw, just because with Eddie being buddies with Slash & Steven, it'd be more laid back, but Eddie would come out it with FAR more interesting questions than Howard.
I don't give a flying fuck how much pussy an aging 50+ year old rock star gets.
I want to know what the fuck happened from Axl's perspective from 1994-present.

I have nothing against Huge obviously but I don't think it's a good idea to even consider bringing him into the reunion equation, even if only to prevent another Snakepit album being recorded.
You missed the point of my post. I can't remember where, but Axl was asked awhile ago about if Paul was still around, and Axl said yes. Tobias' contributions are all over Chinese, and one has to wonder the unreleased material as well.
Paul's out there somewhere, it just depends on how much of his fingerprints are on the vault material.
#728 Re: Guns N' Roses » SLASH's CONSPIRATORS Bandmate Has Known 'For A Long Time' Reuni » 565 weeks ago
Well, if he had made his mind up before then it begs the question, why bother going ahead with the residency & the dvd? (The dvd was recorded during that residency, right? Or was there an earlier one the year before??).
The dvd was recorded during the Vegas residency in 2012.
Looking back on that last (full) show I saw, I do gotta say they put on a fun show in fairness to them, & I always enjoyed seeing BBF.. But.. I'm glad they're gone!
exactely my opinion on that. they put on a kickass show every time i`ve seen them, but Slash being on stage with Axl again will completely erase the 2001-2014 live era.
Quoted for truth. I don't think people have quite wrapped their minds around the previous (and most stable) era of GN'R.
It's done.
Somewhere along the line, possibly with Duff back, Axl made his mind up. Maybe he actually did make friends with Slash? Who knows, but anything from 2001-2014, brand-recognition wise, is done. Nobody, NOBODY in history is going to ever recall that period, other than the diehards.
This whole situation is very reminiscent of the KISS reunion. Paul & Gene thought they could bring out Ace & Peter for the MTV Unplugged show as kind of a wink, wink, nudge, nudge gag, and what it did was effectively kill the Unmasked-era overnight. Nobody gave a damn about anybody by the Unmasked band, and they were slammed by reunion offers/requests. They were slammed so bad, any yet had no intention of reuniting. Doing it, literally forced them into a reunion, which was later on revealed to be an egotistical/logistical nightmare.
Wonder more and more if Duff's return, and molding in with Richard, Frank, Dizzy & Chris, pretty much was the death knell in "new Guns".
#729 Re: Guns N' Roses » So... new music » 565 weeks ago
And I believe it too James, thus my reason for pushing the "Echo of Miles" narrative in my rare and sporadic posts over the last year.
Axl's at that moment, where if any studio stuff backs this band touring, right now more than anything it'll probably be a 2-disc, band commissioned-Best of-set with some alternate takes, demos, live cuts, and maybe a new rocker and new ballad thrown in for good measure, and imo Axl would ride that for at least two years.
Axl needs to decide whether he's gonna try to incorporate Slash & Duff into Chinese II (especially seeing how Richard, Frank, Dizzy & Chris are still there), or if Axl wants to just knock out the Echo-situation, release what's mainly left of Chinese in it's original form, with the Chinese I remix album, and maybe a 3rd disc of studio alternates (such as the BH-version of This I Love), and call it a day.
Focus his big Gun leftovers for Slash & Duff, and incoporate them into a completely different studio album focusing solely on 2016 Guns and the future with Slash & Duff back in. With Slash, Duff (87-93), Dizzy & Chris (98-present) all in the fold, plus possibly Izzy in studio, Axl is SURROUNDED by basically the entire ERA of Guns writers, including himself. It'd be a goddamn shame to waste having all those people around.
Then again it's Axl... if anyone knows how to waste time like a motherfucker it's him.
#730 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 565 weeks ago
I actually prefer Slash & Duff doing promo. I told a friend this yesterday. Axl HATES promo. I am still old enough to remember people asking questions post-1991, why it seemed like Axl was NEVER on MTV doing interviews, when he was so over-saturated during the AFD/Lies-period.
Slash & Duff handled everything during the heart of UYI, as well as Gilby, and occasionally Dizzy. Dizzy is WAY better today at being a face for GN'R, but Gilby just naturally fell right into that slot, despite being new.
However Slash & Duff were BORN for this. They just know how to play the game.
I don't think anything is going to change from the UYI days. Slash & Duff have now become the brand of GN'R again, and for me.... that is really fucking weird. I keep wanting to pinch myself, or try to look up Kurt Cobain & Layne Staley and see what they're up to today (they're still dead btw)
It's like 1992-93 all over again... or it will be imo.
