MSL has been on the forums a few years, and with everything that has happened, he has NEVER been caught in a lie and no one has proven that anything he has said is a lie.
That's a pretty damn good track record.
Just for clarity...I wasn't saying he is lying...I was pointing out that he himself has said that he's lied when necessary. I remember a post on HTGTH where he talks about pretending to send a guitar to a horder and so on.
Mind you...i fully support the bringing down of the horders.

I think Baz, regardless of "Skid Roses" jokes, is the ideal fit.
Yeah me too. I think Baz would make slash go heavier and not write just ballads...and slash would stop Baz decending into an outright scream fest. Has potential to be a good mix. Sadly it isn't going to happen it seems.
I realize Slash wants a really musical voice and I can really understand that and I think he does require it, but the type of rock he brings to the table, to me anyways, requires a very distinct singer. And I think if you can't get a guy like Baz, it's just not going to work as well as it could. Like I said on here somewhere earlier, I would take Izzy and Duff singing in a van tour over Scott VR
I agree about the need for a distinctive singer...although I'm not a fan of Izzy and duff's singing. I love izzy's songwriting and duff's playing - but I never liked it when they hit the mike too much.
Scott does have better range and all that, which is to be expected from a big rock group like VR. I just don't think his voice suits the music. That's what's important. It's like half the time I listen to VR and I'm impressed as fuck, whenever Weiland's vocals suit the music. Set Me Free, Slither, Fall to Pieces, She Builds Quick Machines, are great for his vocals, but then others it just seems out of place. Basically, his voice is good for some hits, not so good for the meat of the album.
I agree with that too. VR is a funny band that way...when it works - it REALLY works...but there's a lot of average and not so good stuff to go with the gems. I just find scot a but 1 dimesional. I like some of his lyrics, and he can write a killer hook. But he also uses too many repeates (eg Dead and Bloated..great song but the 5 minute version doesn't add anything to the 3 minute except for a few hundred extra choruses!) and is limited in range.
If only Saints of Los Angeles was a better album as a whole, but I digress.
I actually kinda dug that album. I wasn't expecting to as i'm only a mild cru fan (I have a best of CD and like about 5 or 6 songs) - but I liked a good 3 or 4 from this album. Not the greatest stuff i've ever heard...but worthy of the occasional spin

I'd expect this album to have at least 1 or 2 good tracks - most AC/DC stuff justifes the price of admission....got to love the title track from Stiff Upper Lip...if there is anything like that..i'll be happy!

I am new here, and i'd just like to ask, how credible is this guys information? i am aware that with any source of information there is guaranteed to be exaggerations and embellishments, but the alleged conversations with beta and her bashing of the hardcore fans etc, how much of that could actually be cited as bullshit, and how much of it truth. has this guy proven himself to be legitimate in the past?
any information would be greatly appreciated.
He is truthful in the sence that when he says he will release and share leaks, he will do it. However it seems he obtained the original leaks by manipulating, lying and conning various people. (Not that they didn't have it comming. Horders Suck!). But much of his inital posts seemed to be saying that he is smarter than anyone else so can trick anyone into anything. So i'd also take any details he gives with a grain of salt that he may have an agenda of his own - such as promotion.
Its great that MSL ended the hording of some fans - its stupid that some people have stuff and others don't. I'm just saying he clearly isn't the msot straightforward guy out there.

Yeah...i can't see a 2008 tour happening...every time someone leaves it costs us more time!
#8758 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak » 925 weeks ago
Robin is a HUGE step back as I see Robin more of a Gilby Clarke than a Slash but Bucket, that guy is an enigma, looks cool, is mysterious and can play like a motherfucker.
Robin did make some cool parts on the leaks...but I agree that overall GNR is a band for guitar legends and that's what slash is, and bucket has the skills to fit in the role.
#8759 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Velvet Revolver Still Mulling New Frontman » 925 weeks ago
I somehow doubt they'll blow my mind either, but I hope.
Just no one that sounds anything like Weiland. I want someone who can screech a bit. I always found the pairing of Slash and Weiland just odd. I don't think he did anything to make Slash's playing any better. In GNR, Axl's vocals really brought me into the music (and his lyrics) and vice versa, but Weiland just reminds me of some worm on the mic.
I still like VR enough.
I agree...i actually like Scott's voice and some VR and STP songs a hell of a lot...but that said...it was never a good match for Slash's playing I think.
The problem is Slash wants someone with a ot of musicallity to their voice...which is why he didn't like Josh Todd from buckcherry. Too much of the yelling all in the same key.
the problem is scott does the musical singing but nothing else.
What we need is him to find someone like Axl - who is very musical with his own harmony parts and all that but also has a bad ass screaming or intensity ability. Which was why i thought baz would have been a good choice...because he can "sing" a ballad...or he can scream your balls off...but I can see that baz is limited in that he has a very distinctive sound that would give things a skid row flavour. But we need someone like that...musical but with some rage too!

Yeah...i mean the label may get cash from Wallmart..but i see these deals as costing sales in the long run. I mean i would own the Angel Down dvd set today if i could fucking buy it here in Oz! Same with CD...how am i susposed to go to a wallmart. We don't have them down here...cos we actually have to pay our employees
