I don't get this "artistic integrity" vs. "selling out" bullshit that people go on about.  People go into the music business for money and fame above all else.  If GNR or anyone else got into it to be artists and relay a message, we'd have never heard of them, plain and simple.  In any event, they released music to appeal to the masses for fame and fortune.  Instead of becoming a broke has-been, Slash has chosen to embrace his celebrity and earn money in the process.  What's wrong with that?

And pro-Axl anti-VR fans make me laugh on this subject.  Whenever Slash appears in the media, he's touted as either Guns N' Roses or ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist.  Either way, that's free promotion for Axl and the boys.  As long as Slash is getting the name out there, you people shouldn't complain.

I think it's weird that they picked her up the other day and say she wasn't on drugs.  As far as I know, when they do sobriety tests and the like, the tests usually do not pick up on cocaine.  Although, she'd have to do a shitload of cocaine to be this fucked up.  While she may be clean, I think that past heavy drug use or something else is causing her to be this retarded.  Whatever it is, her head's pretty messed up.

I can't see a depression happening.  A prolonged recession, maybe, but a depression is pretty extreme when looking at the current situation.  The dirty 30s was a dark period in the world, but I don't think it would ever happen like that again.  We're far too developed now.  I mean, a stock market crash alone would be next to impossible.

The Raven and The Telltale Heart are two classics that are absolute masterpieces of their time.  You probably know those two.

Malkin was on fire in Montreal tonight.  Good grief.  Sid can take all the time he needs to come back.  If Crosby didn't get all the hype in Pittsburgh, Malkin would be able to step up more and take over games like he did tonight.

Pretty bad when you can't score a goal on Dany Sabourin though.

Crosby and Stastny likely won't make it to the all-star game.  Marc Savard is playing in place of Dany Heatley.  My guess is Malkin will take Crosby's place and Stastny will have to be replaced by an Av I guess (no other Avs are on the team), so it will probably be Hejduk.

I still think Colbert could've won that one as a native son.  Hope Huckabee can pick up!

The thing I don't get about The Blues is how the guitar solo has a happy mood, while the lyrics are supposed to be sad.  The music in The Blues almost sounds like it should go with an entirely different song or something.  In the end it has a very ironic effect.

With how wacky Patton is, I could see Faith No More reuniting but under a brand new name.

Doubt Yes Less tour starts now!

This is beyond ridiculous now.  Anyone think it's a hoax or something?  I mean, the guy's name in Dan Druff... You think some Head & Shoulders would help solve the crime?  Either way, this is bullshit.  First update we get from GNR and this is it.  What do they think?  The guy who stole the bike is a GNR fan and will realize what he did and return the bike so that his favourite band will be happy?  This is so stupid.
