This is why I waited.
All this time I silently watched this all from afar like an old veteran, and today is proof of what I always feared... even a reunion... wouldn't change a goddamn thing about how Axl operates.
And that's okay. I've come to accept it. It is what it is.
All of these questions. 2016 will be a BIG YEAR for Guns N' Roses, and... a press release came and went, the rollout was botched, Axl did nothing, and Slash & Duff were AGAIN left to promote something that hasn't even been their baby in over 20 years.
I'm really curious what money is on the line. Whether Coachella actually contracted them to MAKE THEIR FIRST appearence together. What interest does Slash & Duff have in this? What's the payday?
Because right now? Axl owns it all, and Slash & Duff are already in line to do all the work.
I don't blame Team Brazil. I blame 'ol Sittin Bull. It was always him. It must be a big ass payday for them to be prepared to put up with this. I don't see how they will be willing, unless GN'R are going to have alot of downtime for Slash & Duff to do solo stuff. Richard & Dizzy with Dead Daisies as well.
Btw, It does feel nice to be vindicated though. I said FOR YEARS that the reunion would be Axl, Slash, Richard, Duff, Frank, Dizzy & Chris... and I remember getting slammed by the reunionites and the "fuck Richard, fuck Frank" shit, it's Steven & Matt or fuck off -- types.
With that said. Long live Guns and hopefully 2016 will be the year for GN'R that it has been prophecized.

Robin is never coming back imo. Robin might be a better shot than Bucket, but Robin ain't coming back. DJ will come back before Robin imo.
I will give you this, if they are gonna move on with Chinese II, it'd be better to do it with Robin & Bucket, than DJ & Ron or Slash & Izzy.
#753 Re: The Garden » Roddy Piper passes away » 586 weeks ago
I came her to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and i'm all out of bubble gum.
John Carpenter's They Live was a HUGE influence on me as a kid. Maybe more so today, than then. Piper's part in it, was something he continued years later, speaking out against the government and survelliance state.
As a wrestler he was one of a kind. But in fairness to Roddy, Roddy did publicly say he would never live to the age of 65. He truly believed he wouldn't live that long. And he was wasn't wrong. 61... RIP... you were one of a kind Joe Nada.
#754 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 586 weeks ago
Anyone playing the new Batman? I have a little. I like it do far. Controls for the batmobile duck but it's a fun game.
I was gonna wait, bought the instant download on PSN late at night because I changed my mind, downloaded it to my PS4, then got busy and still haven't really played it. I started it twice, do the Poison Ivy capture mission, then seem to get lost into other things. I need to play it.
Was utterly shocked how poor the review was for it on GameSpot. The Batmobile has certainly divided everyone. Some people love it, others utterly hate it and felt it ruined the game. In the brief time i've played it, I like it, not love it. But most of the time I move around Gotham the old fashioned-way with the Grapple Hook. It's really the only way to enjoy the graphics.

Smoking Guns wrote:Saw Terminator Genesys. Was INCREDIBLE!!! Huge fan of the series, and gets a lil too cute at times but Arnold and fucking Arnold and I loved it.
That's cool. I've heard mixed things about that movie. Fans like parts of it or hate it while critics have panned it as well. There's even people that liked it way better than T3 or Salvation. I may give it a rental when it comes out on DVD. It looks like a fun watch either way. I heard Arnie is the true highlight besides Clarke.
See I heard mixed reactions as well. And it's all over the place too. The people that liked it, absolutely LOVED it. The people that didn't like it, utterly hated it, said it was a piece of turd, and made T4 look like T3, and T3 like T2.
They're supposed to be working on a TV series that continues on the storyline from T5. I heard Clarke was horrible in it.
I never saw it. I saw T3 in a theater, and thought it was ok. Saw T4 in a theater, liked it more than T3, but still thought it was ok. I decided to skip T5, and wait for home video.

I'm not blown away by either of them. Including Leto.
I'll have to wait until they come out to reserve judgment.
#757 Re: The Sunset Strip » Jon Stewart » 586 weeks ago
To me Stewart & Colbert had their moments, but i've never got all the whoopla about them.
To me they don't go far enough, and especially with Stewart being a jew, he was always skiddish of making fun of Israel, which is lame. Anytime you start censoring, and avoiding your comedy, it's dicey. I always thought Stewart was either held back, or held himself back.
Stewart is a talented guy, but I didn't like when when he jumped into the political arena, seriously. It kinda made his comedy/satire less potent.
#758 Re: The Sunset Strip » Superman Thread. » 586 weeks ago
I'm actually underwhelmed by it, and this is coming from someone who enjoyed Man of Steel.
I don't know. I'm just not sold on Affleck as Batman. In the scenes i've seen, it seems like Affleck being Affleck... which I hate, and is why I was scared of casting him to begin with.
#759 Re: The Sunset Strip » Ash vs. Evil Dead » 586 weeks ago
Yeah i'm looking forward to it. I remember back in the late 90's on the 'net, Raimi busted his ASS to try to get Evil Dead IV made and it just never came to fruition. That Evil Dead video game pretty much is ED4.
I never thought the franchise would've continued on as a TV series 23 years in the future. Times change. Psycho: The Series (Bates Motel), Scream: The Series (MTV), Evil Dead: The Series (Ash vs. ED), and they're supposed to be prepping a new Friday The 13th: The Series (with Jason), and Hellraiser: The Series.
Apparently all of these old slasher titles are continuing on as TV shows. Shocked Halloween hasn't been turned into a TV series, specifically using that old anthology concept from Halloween III: Season of the Witch. There's a wealth of horror stories there.
Either way, hopefully it'll be good. It looks good. But out of all these new horror TV series, Bates Motel is the only one of quality i've seen.

WOW
It's like someone crossed Lynyrd Skynyrd with .38 Special and presented like Audioslave.
Fuck yeah? Haha. I like it.
