#811 Re: Guns N' Roses » Random Robin Thoughts » 895 weeks ago
My 2 cents:
A.) It would not be awesome if Buckethead came back.
B.) It would also not be awesome if Finck stayed with NIN.
I think that Robin is more suited for GNR than Fortus or Thall, and that's saying a lot because I really do like and respect the both of them. I could not think of a better predecessor to Slash than Finck. His playing is easily recognized as his own, yet it blends into the music so well that it's not too much.
If you honestly think Finck would be better with NIN and Guns would be better off with Bucketnuts, then maybe I should go audition for Axl.... all I'll have to do is breakdance and play with nunchucks.
Oh, and I don't know, maybe learn to play guitar on a whole new level.

Although I know many fans here would see Bucket as a soundtrack to life guy, (I think James was planning on using him at his funeral in a post the other day), i'm similar, i'm in awe of his talents and abilities, but I feel to some extent he is wasted as a solo artist. I'm the same with most instrumental guitarists, I love the abilities but without normal song structures and vocals, its not songcraft to me.
It's actually the epitome of songcraft. He doesn't need words to say what he wants to say. Lyrics actually take away from his music, if you listen to his shit with guest vocalists. He's better solo than Mustaine or Slash (as Dave said) could ever hope to be.
To each his own.
I prefer Snakepit and the one Dave solo album that wound up being The System Has Failed to any Buckethead.
Well, besides the leaks anyway.

As far as I know, Axl's not the one behind it. The back catalogue licensing rights are currently split three ways with Slash, Duff and Universal Music Group. Axl sold his share to Sanctuary Publishing in early '05, and Sanctuary was later acquired by UMG.
Axl said it was okay, as long as he could record a new WTTJ with the new band, right?

I love the scene in Monster's Ball between Ledger and the prostitute. Doesn't last long, but Ledger and that chick do an outstanding performance of how "cold" such a situation is. Total absence of any caring, emotion,etc.
Not saying I'm a prostitute freak(I'm not), but went out with a few escorts many moons ago and Ledger nails it.
You just don't fucking care.
You should hire an escort and tell her to bring Batman Begins SO YOU CAN FINALLY WATCH IT!
You need to see TDK because I want to talk to somebody on IM about how cool this movie is.

Sounds like he's selling out.
I mean, I know he experiments a lot and changes his style, but this is a deliberate pop song directed at teenage girls.

Less than three hours now.
This is selling pretty well here. They actually opened another screen to make more room.

finally watched batman returns last night...pretty good...though more of a drama than an action
i had no idea katie holmes was in it...pretty good cast overall and they lead perfectly into the dark night at the end...some pretty cool imagery too in that movie
You mean begins?
