#901 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another cash grab tour? - Rumored Brazil tour first half of 2008 » 983 weeks ago
There are so many threads I want to quote so I'll just post one big post.
I find those that haven't gone to the concerts complain about them alot more then those that have. With that said, I can understand wanting new songs to be played and it's real easy to say typing it on here and even I have said it but when I am there, it doesn't matter that they played the same shit each time I saw them. However I did see them play TWAT and IUTLH.
The name issue is a dead issue, it's an over used arguement and one that will never be resolved ever in the minds of all the members of these boards. The band is no more and I have to agree with JB it's time to really squash that topic because it is what it is and even tho they play older GNR tunes they have every right to just as VR is, the only difference is VR chooses not to play as many but they do play STP tunes and no one says hey they play STP covers. I wouldn't think that Scott would consider an STP song a cover even tho he is the only person from STP in VR nor do I think Slash, Duff and Matt consider GNR songs covers.
I have a feeling if Axl played mostly new songs and hardly any GNR songs it'd be the reverse arguement. I say take it for what it is and thank god they are even out there or we would really be hearing crickets on these boards now, honestly, I don't think these boards would have survived this long had Axl not have appeared out of the darkness in 2006.
EDIT* Whether or not the members of GNR not from the original band like or dislike playing older GNR tunes is irrelivent because they are in GNR and those songs are GNR. If they hated it so much, they'd leave.

I watched Employee of the Month. Shockingly, it wasn't that bad, although the star of the film(Jessica Simpson) is the only weak link. I'm not a big fan of comedies anymore, but there's some genuinely funny scenes in this. None of them involve Simpson. This chick has zero acting talent whatsoever. All she does is smile and says her lines in the same tone, no matter what emotion she is supposed to be conveying. Its annoying as hell. One pathetic scene is in the grocery store where her shopping cart bumps into the cart of the guy she likes. Its supposed to be accidental and happen by chance, yet she has this big smile on her face moments before the carts hit each other. The fact this wasn't left on the cutting room floor means either of these two things: Simpson flubbed this scene at every take so they had to use it, or the editors are to blame and dont deserve to ever be involved in the industry again. Its probably a combination of both, because even if she fucks this scene up all day, they could have had the camera aimed at the dude(or the shopping carts).
I now fully understand why her career in movies is evolving into B movies her dad finances. She cant act. Period. The film would have actually been better if they had just grabbed an attractive woman off the street to play her role. The film was a major bomb, so casting her was pointless anyways.
I'll give it a 2/5, but would have earned a 3 if they hadn't cast Simpson for the obvious reason of trying to earn a few extra bucks.
Dane Cook must have been good in this if you didn't rank on him..LOL. He blew me away in Mr. Brooks as it was a serious role so this must have been great as comedy is his forte.

They come to this side of the world again for an arena tour without an album, its over. Period. Not only would there be less interest than in 06(for the obvious reason), what would kill them is the media backlash.
If like you said they just want to play for fans, why aren't they doing a club tour here? They could most likely sustain a low profile club tour without an album here in the States. If M.I.A. can sell out clubs in major US cities, then so can GNR.
While I have very little interest in an albumless tour, I would definitely go see them at the Mezzanine.:mosh:
A club tour would allow them to be more risky. If the album is anywhere on the horizon, they could test out various setlists and see what the reactions are.
It wouldn't be career suicide if it was done right.
A club tour would be great, but I have a feeling that might not be enough to offset the cost of the monster of a show this band puts on. A theatre tour however, I think could do really well. But they'll still sell out MSG with no problem. There are also a lot of places in the US they haven't played yet. Texas, Arizona, Colorado, lots of places out west and in the southwest. And of course they'll always do well here in Vegas.
People put too much emphasis on the album. I feel so disillusioned from most GnR fans. I want to see the band any chance I can.
I too do love to see them and when I am there I totally forget about anything having to do with CD and totally get lost in the show. I too get annoyed at times that no matter what we get from them or the band some members feel if it's not about CD it sucks. On flip side I can see where those that do are coming from but in the end, anything having to do with Axl or the band is great in my book because this is the band I am into and constantly post on message boards about for years so why wouldn't I love anything having to do with them regardless if it's about CD or not.

ST. LOUIS (Map, News) - Police in the St. Louis suburb of Jennings, Mo., are investigating a triple shooting on New Year's Eve in which they say a 30-year-old mother fatally shot her two young daughters and then herself.
The shooting happened about 6:15 p.m. Monday on a street where police said Larhonda Mason had walked with her children after a disagreement with a man.
Mason and the man - identified only as a male acquaintance - apparently argued at a home not far from where the shooting took place, police said. Mason left the residence on foot after their disagreement and took her two daughters and some belongings with her.
Police said the man followed the woman and her children in a vehicle and tried to get them to return to the home. They said the man and Mason exchanged words on the street, and then the woman pulled out a gun and shot the girls and herself.
The children each died of a single gunshot wound, Sgt. Shawn Lane said.
Police identified the children as 11-year-old Teleanna Mason, who was pronounced dead at the scene, and 3-year-old Jazelyn Mason, who died at a St. Louis hospital about two hours later.
Larhonda Mason also was pronounced dead at the scene. A suicide note detailing the woman's intentions was recovered, police said. But investigators are not releasing the note's contents.
Lane said Mason had been distraught for the past several days.
The man who argued with Mason is not being charged, police said. The man sought help for the victims after the shooting, and officers interviewed him about the incident and initially thought he was responsible. But then the investigation pointed to Mason.
#908 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot In The Studio » 983 weeks ago
out of curiosity, why bother doing all that? why not just play guitares faster and drumms slower? or is he just playing to get the timing that he thinks is right because the timing of the guitar is differnt than the drums
Quote from BBF on his forum about this
it's the equivalent of speeding up a tape machine, recording tracks, than putting the speed back to normal, so that everything sounds slowed down and sluggish - kinda Strawberry Fields-ish. Did it for the drums on "Wasted Away" also...
