Oh, come on...
Is it impossible that he just doesn't have anything bad to say?
Of course not, but then again when he was in GnR it was inherently the Axl Rose Project, and still is, where no one is ever TRULY an equal partner, and they knew that going in and know it now. His situation with GnR and Axl is totally different from that of the original members.
Let's not bullshit anyone here, these interviews are posted as an attempt to discredit what the original band members have said about Axl, and for what it's worth the same is true regarding people posting interviews from the original members to discredit what the newer guys have to say. The truth is they are not the same, they are dealing with Axl on different levels and in different situations, and that goes for Axl's comments about the original members as compared to the newer guys. Certain situations bring out the worst in people, feeling like you have no control over something, or feeling like someone is trying to take control from you or control you, tends to make people act like assholes.
I would like you to point out where in any credible source it says that no one in GNR right now is an equal partner to Axl. People don't even have to be equal partners to Axl, since there are 7 or 8 others besides him that could over turn his decision.
I would like to point out that it seems to be the case that Axl is not a dictator of GNR for several reasons. First is what the current/recent members of GNR have said about him. Second is his own words about not wanting to work on This I Love or include it on the album but other members wanted it so they got it.
That is in no way saying that he doesn't have a lot of control, but that he isn't a sole dictator like many like to believe.
What are your reasons for Josh saying nice sentiments regarding Axl? He's not in the band. CD has been released, he got a writing credit already. What's the reason then? He wants to be back in the band? Doubtful.
#932 Re: Guns N' Roses » Josh Freese on Axl and Chinese Democracy » 919 weeks ago
It's definitely him, he's just trying to sound more smart and sophiscated in his constant Axl hate.
If it is, he certainly argued fairly well against Atari over in the VR section.
I see some similarities between the two posters. Wasn't Otis originally BringBackAdler at one point?
#933 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eminem Returns To Rap With 'Relapse' » 919 weeks ago
WOW, a double album? My interest is certaintly high. Always like Em...
Not two albums released at the same time, or a double disk album. He's basically doing what U2 is doing. He recorded a bunch of what he feels is great material and wants to release it all. I'm looking forward to both.
I really hope he comes back strong. Rap just isn't what it was a few years ago. It's going in the same direction that rock went with the hair metal craze. Everyone's basically doing the same thing to try and sell records. There's some originality here and there of course, but not many people are really coming to the forefront like that.
#934 Re: The Sunset Strip » Soundgarden » 919 weeks ago
SO that concert went ahead and Morello actually took to the stage with 3/4 of sound garden. Chris was playing in Chile but the rest all got back together with a different vocalist and Tom on guitar..... What a crazy mess..... Tom stabbing back at chris.... The rest f soundgarden doing the same... I don't know if thats what even happened.. take a look for yourselves
Posted this one page ago. But thanks for the further info on it.
From the sounds of it, it was a spur of the moment thing. Originally it was Sheppard and Thayil who were going to be there, and Cameron got added to the bill last minute.
Those people in the audience got an amazing deal. 15 bucks and they witnessed a near SG reunion.
#935 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash Begins Recording for his Solo Album » 919 weeks ago
Vocalise, that's a great piece of music right there. I'd love to see a Slash solo album without vocalists, and that is why. It could be beautiful, a masterpiece, but with some of the people singing on it that have been rumored, it's gonna be so watered down.
Agreed. I was really hoping he would do an instrumental album or two. I would love to hear his guitar work as standalone music.
#936 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eminem Returns To Rap With 'Relapse' » 919 weeks ago
Im Having a Relapse is a freestyle from Shade 45. Crack a Bottle as Saikin said wasn't the first single. It was a leaked song that became a street single to get his name out there again. Not even sure if it's on the album.
Im excited to hear the first single. I hope he comes back strong. I wanna see a more Infinite style with the anger and rage.
I believe Universal said that Crack a Bottle will be on Relapse.
We've got a week until we hear the single, unless it leaks sooner than that. I really hope his album is better than Crack a Bottle. I want pissed off Eminem to have a larger part in the album than the party boy version.
And I also hope Crack a Bottle is the only song 50 is on.
In case no one noticed the reference above, the video for We Made You is said to be like the movie "Rain Man."
#937 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eminem Returns To Rap With 'Relapse' » 919 weeks ago
Atari, no one has heard the single yet. Crack A Bottle and I'm Having A Relapse are all we've heard. "We Made You" hasn't leaked or anything yet.
Crack a Bottle was not the first single off the album. I'm Having A Relapse is way better than it anyway.
#938 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eminem Returns To Rap With 'Relapse' » 919 weeks ago
Relapse- 5-19-09
Single "We Made You" and video- April 7th
Second album to be released later this year
On March 5, 2009, Eminem reported in a press release that he would be releasing two new albums this year. Relapse, the first album, is set for release on May 19, while "We Made You", the first official single and it's music video, are set for release on April 7. The second album, Relapse 2 doesn't have a set release date yet, but Eminem is currently in the studio working on the album, and it should be released in the second half of this year. Eminem said in the press release, "we were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff."

I don't have anything to add to the argument, I just want to give Loaded karma for such a good argument. You stuck to the point, and made your point very clear.
Are you a law student by chance?
#940 Re: GNRevolution Madness » Music Madness - max 2 per artist? or max 5? » 919 weeks ago
I voted 5, but I can see the advantages of 2. There still leaves enough over for every artist to be represented in sequel threads, if there's an attempt to do it again.
I have one personal request with 2...
I think it would look MUCH better if EVERY artist represented on the list had two songs each for them, M.I.A. gets two, No Doubt gets two, Queen gets two, The Who gets two, you get the idea.
64 / 2 = 32
32 artists, 2 songs each
I don't agree with that. That would limit other artists since there would be some artists who would have to get removed from the list so another one could have two songs, and that would change the voting and basically make it useless since a song with more votes might get replaced by one with less just so that artist can have two songs represented.
