Yeah I remember these. Great stuff, and yes the foreshadowing was all over it. You could already tell they all, but especially Axl & Slash were on different pages on what the future was going to be. They were already becoming broken, and distant. The whole thing went from staving and nobodies, to future Hall of Fame legends within a matter of a year, and then suddenly like a bomb going off they were all left looking around at each other after getting satiation, and going "I don't really like you or need you now".
In the end, I still look back in amazement knowing what we know now that we ever got the Use Your Illusion albums and a tour. Anything and everything went off to prevent that from coming to fruition. And then people talk about a reunion like it's a slam dunk, and I scoff and laugh.
Fuck a reunion, i'm amazed that all of them are even still alive and breathing, let alone performing... anything.
#792 Re: Guns N' Roses » The enigmatic Beavan album ('98-00) » 604 weeks ago
Hmm interesting. I think it does go back to that theory that they've got another fully completed LP in-the-vault, and another either A) EP, or B) remix album.
'Cause they could release the remix album, throw on the remix Chinese songs, and throw on those straggler Chinese-unreleased songs, that don't make it onto Chinese II.
The question becomes do they just knock it all out with the Long Road Out of Eden 2-disc release, Disc 1--Chinese II, Disc 2--The Lost Sessions, featuring a handful of other new songs, with Chinese I remixes, Chinese II alternates, and a couple of live tracks/covers to pad it out.
Or do they trickle it all out over 2-3 seperate releases and mix the shit out of what's left, because it's painfully obvious at this point, Axl is in NO hurry to get back into a studio and build a new album from scratch. It seems he's just gonna ride these leftovers into either A) retirement, or B) reunion, then retirement.
#793 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron stirs tempest in a teapot » 604 weeks ago
Or he knew he wouldn't get the interview if they knew GN'R was off limits. I mean, Ron has a publicist that's not going to get across his one stipulation, when he's ranted and railed against how GN'R conducts themselves? Eh, who knows. Maybe it is a "wires crossed" thing.
Or Ron knew HE wouldn't get the interview if GN'R was made off limits.
I am so over this fuckin' guy. His music is not that good, he was Bucket replacement (and a shitty one at that) for 10 years, and even in the times I was trying to be positive towards the guy and a DJ/Ron album, I was trying to be supportive.
Why he has single-handedly made an about face, and turned into "I won't discuss this", "I won't discuss that", on even the most basic questions has absolutely utterly nothing to do with GN'R business, when he used to be so open, and now it's suddenly the interviewers fault?
You made this bed. The only reason anybody is even granting his no-name ass interviews is because he was in GUNS N' FUCKIN' ROSES. That's it. Same thing with the rest of them with the exception of Tommy 'cause of The Replacements, and the slight exception of DJ, because he does get Sixx:AM and Motley questions, because he's co-wrote a shitload of songs in that camp.
Ron isn't Jake E. Lee. But the only future for Ron, with this attitude, is Jake E. Lee territory. He'll just be remembered one day as "that guy that used to play with GN'R", and nothing more. The less and less associated he is with them, the less he'll sell solo material, 'cause he's got nothing to sell.
This guy ain't Slash. He ain't Bucket. He ain't Jake E. Lee. He ain't Doug Aldrich. He ain't Paul Gilbert. He ain't Joe Satriani.
He's exactly what I called him from day one -- Gilby Clarke 2000, minus the old Guns rub. And when that's gone Ron will be what he was, a NJ technical guitarist that would be a good teacher or session worker, that should be more appreciative that the ONLY fanbase he's got has come from the Guns camp.
If he fucking hates GN'R and whatever the fuck happened (and i'm sure something happened) -- that's fine. Stop granting interviews and stop talking and let your music do the talking. But you can't let your music do the talking, because we've heard it....
What else 'ya got?
#794 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Walking Dead » 609 weeks ago
So far, i've actually liked this season ALOT more than last season. So maybe things are on the rise again. Show seems to be refreshing things, and not dragging others out as badly, although the Beth storyline was overplayed (and I frankly didn't get the big deal about it all) earlier in the season. But other than that, Season 5 has been an improvement on Season 4 imo.
#795 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Official "Star Trek" Thread » 609 weeks ago
Yes he was. I heard an audio clip played back of the end of "Wrath of Khan" where Spock dies, with Kirk's eulogy and Amazing Grace kicked in...
Not even gonna lie, I started balling like a baby. I haven't cried in a LONG TIME.
And underrated legend. ALWAYS thought he was a sorely underused, brilliant actor. RIP Mr. Nimoy.
#796 Re: The Sunset Strip » Justifed » 609 weeks ago
Yes sir I sure am, with my weekly Jagerbombs.
So far, the new final season has been INFINITELY more interest than the DULL Season 5. Love love LOVE Sam Elliot's character. Great choice on casting. It's a shame he hasn't been used with Olyphant & Goggins more, because he has great chemistry with them. Elliot's air of unalarming southern charm mixed with deadly rattlesnake ruthless business would even make 'ol JR shake a tad.
I think Art has been really underused this season, although his interaction with Sam Elliot the other day at HQ was fantastic. That's the kind of cat & mouse stuff that made this show great.
I feel REALLY REALLY BAD for Ava. Man, poor baby. What a difficult spot they've put her in. And to bring back the teasing of the "Ava loves Raylon" story from Season 1 and bring it full circle was a shocking twist, but at the same time I have a feeling Raylon is using her. Raylon's end game is still going to Miami with his kid. Ava seems to love Boyd, but not with the affection she had for Raylon, almost like she thought Raylon was her ticket OUT of Harlan, whereas Boyd was her ticket IN in Harlan, something she never really wanted, and Boyd wanted the most, like it was his childhood dream.
I personally think Ava gets caught in the crossfire in the end, and both Boyd & Raylon kill each other.
As the main man said...

Been really digging Better Call Saul lately. Might be the best new show of the year. Love the relationship between Odenkirk and Michael McKean.

No fucking way Fargo Season 1 was better than True Detective Season 1. No chance.

Can I take off my tin foil hat yet? Or am I still crazy?
#800 Re: Guns N' Roses » False - Axl to Join Slash on Brazil Dates » 609 weeks ago
I saw Myles and thought 'Matt' cause of the 'M'.
Listening to Myles sing with that tone, honestly if there was a reunion... that's probably what it'd sound like. Mickey Axl with Slash's guitar. Slash still is the only one who can nail that song like (SCOM too), and Axl hasn't sang PC right since 1993. Same with SCOM.
