#931 Re: The Sunset Strip » 10 Greatest Horror Films of all Time elimination- Round 6 » 984 weeks ago
I had to go with TCM - Sorry James 
As Atari said, if I had to go with something that scared the bejesus out of me, The Exorcist did exactly that. For it's time the make up was phenominal, Dick Smith was the master of this film, his make up was key to the absolute horror this movie envoked with people. The way it was filmed definitely had you on complete edge the first time seeing it.
Halloween and This if this makes it is gonna be a tough call for me

OMG definitely pure evil. Just terrible. At least they admitted to everything and didn't try to make up a lame story and waste everybodies time. This should be speedy justice. I say shoot them both in the head but apologize first.

why is everybody going back to this period of time when comparing how things are now? why would i want to compare the current situation with the worst period of time? why not compare it to the best times? 87-92? why not try to look how far up it could go, not how low?
can general interest be regained? yes! how? release the fucking thing already? what's so fucking hard?
You can't compare this era of GNR to 87-92, it's two different animals. I reason I bring up that silent period is because it's THIS era of GNR and for this era of GNR now is the best time they had since we never heard from Axl again after that very short tour, well we heard from him in that press release about BH, other then that absolutely nothing. So these two years are the most active this band has been since then.

I don't think interest will ever be as high as it was in 02 and 06. The release of the album is going to very anticlimactic. Hell, about half the fanbase is going to be shocked when its released and they discover that its just an album. The point Buzzsaw made in the old vs new discussion in the other thread applies here- people have built it up to something in their minds that the reality can never live up to. Its going to be an album consisting of approximately 13 to 15 tracks. Nothing more, nothing less. Some people are going to have major difficulty coming to terms with this. Mental wards may fill up across the globe with deranged GNR fans who cant believe that after everything they went through, waited on,etc., it wound up truly being "just an album".For the sane people who have followed this soap opera, this album is going to provide closure. You'll see their reviews, discussing the meaning of the songs, and then it will be "bon voyage".
Whether the album gets released or not, the communities are headed into unknown territory.
You may have point about 02 and 06 but I am willing to wager that the boards explode and you'll see this in every paper, mag and music show out there. Maybe I am wrong but I just think when this comes out it's going to be mayhem.
You are absolutely correct on how it could be very anticlimatic but IMO after listening to it from people that are sooo jaded that no matter how good it is, it's gonna suck. Also I do agree that some will build it up in their minds that this is going to be the album from God, The Holy Grail. That's just stupidity because at the end of the day it is just an album and it's those that do think that way will cut their nose off to spite their face because good maybe some great songs will be hated for a reason that that as you said the mental anguish has caused. I have no doubt in my mind Axl tweaked this thing to death but I also think the last year there has been no more work done to it and it's just all red tape that is keeping this thing back. I do think that Axl is fully aware of "we waited this long for this", statements coming from alot of people.

If CD ever does come out, the interest will be there from mostly all diehards. How can it not, we are used to years and years and years of silence and yet when Axl showed his face ALL of us were interested and I know people that left the forums, including myself before that happened and it will happen with CD in the exact same way. We could go through another year of no CD and lets say in 2010 he releases it, interest will be there by us and some of those that left will return and I am sure some of the casual fans and Axl peers will be interested out of curiosity and that is what is going to fuel this the most from them. WHY because we have waited so long and gone through all this for it not to be, even if the interest dies down to a crawl, it never will completely go away, at least not yet IMO because GNR right now is active, active in GNRland anyhow with the touring so that means anything goes year to year with them, either nothing but touring or could be something else.
Does the years of what we have been shown suggest that it won't ever be released, it certainly does but what makes this hard to just give up is we just don't know if it's never coming out or if it will come out next year.

Good to see some douchebag decided to smite me for having a valid opinion.
The new shows are a fabrication in almost every imaginable way. The band is a fabrication, the music is a fabrication, the show and energy are fabrications. It all rides the waves of what was, not what is. I've read the reviews, I've read what people that have gone to see the new band have to say - they love the old songs and about half the crowd goes to get beer or to go to the bathroom during a new song or a dreaded solo. That didn't happen on the UYI tour before the albums came out. The shows now are a production. Nothing spontaneous, nothing new, nothing that would make you think you were seeing Guns N' Roses other than Axl Rose and the songs they play. Sure, they play the songs OK, but that isn't what Guns N' Roses was. ANYBODY could be standing behind Axl and people would think it was great. THAT isn't a band. They've become everything Guns N' Roses was against - a lineup of rotating studio musicians out to make a buck. It's ambarrassing as a fan of Guns N' Roses.
Regarding you getting smited, refrain from the insults on the board, if you want to take it up with this person, take it up in the pms. Before you start you start saying that this person smited you because of your opinion and that I am agreeing with that. Staff cannot control the smiting, unless a war breaks out which then we will turn it off again, only thing I can say is it wasn't done on the board.
I can tell you for a fact that did NOT happen at MSG. Even at Hammerstein it that didn't happen. What because a few people got up and got a beer during a solo or because they don't like the new songs did that very thing. Can't compare that as fact to the old band because in this situation so many people are pissed at the fact the Axl even had a new band called GNR that if they were among 6 people got up to get a beer it'd be half the stadium.

#939 Re: The Sunset Strip » Britney's Bizarre Holiday weekend » 984 weeks ago
Later that same day, Spears invited a photographer who she's called 'cute' to the Peninsula Hotel, where they stayed until Britney (and the photographer) left. Spears then returned to her house to await the arrival of her sons.
So now she is fucking the paparazzi?
When I predicted the death of one of these tabloid whores, I think its going to be her. When you run red lights as frequently as she does, your luck will eventually run out. Hopefully her kids are not with her when that luck runs out.
That is so messed up. She really does ask for it, it's not like they just don't leave her alone. Her sister will be right there with her after she gives birth, if she follows Britney's pattern.
#940 Re: The Garden » The Rant Thread » 984 weeks ago
My father passes away the Christmas Eve after a heart attack.He spend two weeks struggling for survival but,at the end,his heart failed.
I do not feel the way I used to be.I'm sad and lonely.
Oh Curro, I am so sorry. Life changes on a dime. I lost my dad to lung cancer in Oct. he suffered for 6 months, really horrendous in the end. I am definitely not the same as I used to be, that void I have now will never be filled. The pain and shock get easier with time and I know that doesn't help right now but it does level off a bit. I have my moments of crying and I still can't believe he's gone but it's something that can't be changed and the word helpless has a whole new meaning for me, when my Dad was dying infront of me, there was nothing I could do. Know he is still with you in spirit.
