#911 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR soundchecks Slither » 414 weeks ago
I've never heard of such a big act having so many sound problems and not firing the sound people. At some point you have to realize the sound issues aren't a mistake.
To me it sounds like he can't hear himself and he's fishing around for the notes of a song he doesn't know that well.

Tonight it's been revealed that Manafort has been trying to tamper with witnesses, asking them to lie on his behalf.
Mueller's team are requesting that his bail be revoked. Sitting in jail, while facing what amounts to a life sentence surely won't bode well for our pathological liar in the White House either. What an idiot. He had to know they were watching him like a hawk...right? RIGHT?
i’m sure he just thinks Trump will pardon him. That’s the signal Trump is sending ....
And Clinton let his cronies off the hook too.
Part of me wishes that Hillary had won just so I don't have to hear the same people bitching over and over because we know they'd be dead silent about the shit she pulls...

Sure, for the Trump folks. A lot of people are just sick of all of it though. Trump has major issues for sure. Hillary had major issues as well, but you seem willing to overlook those for whatever reason, which is your right but you can't bitch when the Trump supporters overlook his. I'm fed up with the hypocritical BS. Roseanne gets fired...that's fine. Samantha Bee apologizes and that's fine because she attacked someone attached to Trump, so it's okay? Then clowns like Stewart rationalize it by saying that the other side is hypocritical? No asshat, you're all hypocrites.
That's not true...first of all I voted for Bernie so if you want to chide me about something, chide me about that.
I'm saying Hillary and Trump are very similar in a lot of ways in terms of their sketchy dealings...Trump is way worse in the way he's conducting himself as president. Hillary would never do that...hate her all you want...she has decorum. She would conduct herself in a professional manner.
I actually liked Roseanne...and I really like John Goodman. I overlooked her craziness. She had a way of looking at things that I genuinely appreciated.
That was more of a rant in general and not directed specifically at you.

Even a softball interview like that his answers just seemed like nonsensical & an underlying 'A sitting President cannot be charged' style tone. Wasn't exactly endearing to those seeking innocence.

Guiliani is a disaster. This is the best Trump can get now I suppose.
This new "The President can Pardon himself" is going into Banana Republic territory. Very dangerous. He's also pardoning more crooks to send a message to his pals. If you notice the trajectory of the denials, they start with denying any involvement with Russians and end up with "Collusion is not a crime" and "The President can Pardon himself."

You're not in the middle and neither is Flagg.
It's an odd psychology you guys have about this. You both try to pass yourselves off as these rational middle of the road guys. You're not. You're right wing conservatives. There's actually nothing wrong with this. It's what your ideology is. But you both of you pretend to be something you're absolutely not.
Why would anybody take advice or take seriously a couple of guys who can't even stand by what they believe in?
No, you just assume everyone is as extreme as you and and can't fathom that someone could be a moderate on either side. I've been very clear what I believe in. I haven't voted for a Republican or Democratic president ever. If I was even close to what you seem to think I am, that wouldn't be the case. I see how both sides have fucked this country up.
Crawl back in your cave...we'll see you next time you think you have something interesting to say.

Let’s say someone played the exact same solo or note as Slash...the hypothesis here is all that matters is who is playing it....so slash matters? More than the music...
I would say Ron and the others (well, not early Finck, but he got better) played most of the right notes. They missed the style a bit, but it's hard to replicate sloppiness. Music isn't just hitting notes. There's a feel to it...some non-musicians don't hear it, but most musicians do. I think it's why some people are more picky on some things than others.
That's true...I guess there is an art to sloppiness.
I guess it just makes me sad that more people than not only care about Axl and Slash...have you ever heard Izzy's guitar work on say...rocket queen? He was extraordinary....
Even Steven played the drums in a way that I prefer over Sorum…
but I'm paying attention to stuff that most people don't even notice. It's no wonder that popular music has regressed into what it is now...
I prefer UYI over AFD so I may not be the best person to answer your post. What attracted me to them initially was the interplay between Slash and Izzy. Slash replicates some of it on songs like locomotive but it goes away for the most part in anything post 1992. I prefer Matt to Steven, but I do get why people love him.

Matt replacing Frank would be the right move, but I don't see it ever happening. I don't think Axl wants the balance of power shifting that much even if he does own the name.

That all depends on which angle you're approaching it from.

It's nothing but a bunch of people who stand for very little but love to watch him rant and rave...because deep down inside, it makes the Trump support feel like he matters...every time Trump throws a tantrum, it makes his supporter feel like he matters.
It's not impressive...what got him elected....it's just saying whatever you want, when you want and not expecting consequences for that...
If you really believe that, you're going to be disappointed in 2020 as well. I didn't vote for him. I won't vote for him in 2020. If you're naive enough to think the only people that did vote for him were stupid people that love seeing him throw an tantrum, you've learned nothing over the past 2 years.
You don’t have to worry about me voting anymore...I’m out...you can have this shit....you can win the argument...you can pat yourself on the back.
America should be ashamed of itself...this has been nothing but a very long temper tantrum.
This is just proving you don't get it. How do I win? I didn't vote for him. I won't vote for him if/when he runs for re-election. I won't vote for Pence if he doesn't.
You need to take a closer look at your side if you really want to understand what is going on. Understand how what they are doing is feeding the people that support Trump. You're kind of getting it on some levels, but you're still completely whiffing on the why. When you're sitting on one extreme, the people in the middle chuckle when you bash the other extreme. Both extremes are the problem and neither is interested at all in a solution. The crazy lefties have way more in common with the crazy righties than they do anyone in the middle.
If you want to make a difference, step away from the koolaid on either extreme and join the people in the middle. Until there are more of us, the situation isn't going to get better for anyone except the people that have been in power for the past 30ish years. Meet the new boss...same as the old boss. The cycle has to change.
