The music is good, and god bless William DuVall, but it's not AIC. AIC died with Layne. Period. It'd be like Nirvana hitting the road, minus Cobain.
Like I said, the music is good, but they should've called it 'Breaking The Chains' or something. Some project with the remaining members, doing AIC-influenced music, and the old AIC classics, but not as AIC.
The whole vibe is off. It's just not the same. And I gave it a shot.
Same thing with Queen + Paul Rodgers. I gave it an open mind and a fair shot, and it's just not the same. It just doesn't "feel" the same.
The biggest reason i've been able to support new GN'R over the years, is despite the lineup change, it's still feels like Guns N' Roses. Even CD holds up as a GN'R album. Van Halen with Sammy Hagar still felt like VH to me. It's a very hard thing for an artist to do with an altered band. Rarely does it work. In GNR's case, they got lucky - it works. Everyone else - no, sorry.
fair enough...
i think we're actually in agreement that calling this thing AIC was a bad move, but i'm gonna try to keep an open mind... i listened to some of duvall's pre-aic band and.. at times... he has that layne-ish vibe....

It was fun while it lasted. GN'REvo has been swiped out for HTGTH.

#1026 Re: Guns N' Roses » Questions for Axl if he visits GN'R Evolution » 901 weeks ago
has there ever been any thoughts about at one point or another, just releasing the whole enchilada... ?
a huge box set of everything including the versions of the finished material that were allegedly scrapped and rerecorded?
having that kind of retrospective package would be any longtime fan's wet dream.....just wondering if you guys had at any point given that some consideration
#1027 Re: The Sunset Strip » Pearl Jam's Ten Reissued » 901 weeks ago
This is cool... Ten is their only good album.
Yeah, I went there.
i dug vs as well.. and to a lesser extent vitalogy....
their last self titled record was pretty good....
i've always dug PJ.. i may be a closet hardcore fan... every time they came out with a new record i would buy it, listen and say "that's it! Fuck pearl jam"... then the next record would drop and i'd do it all over again...
i may save a few bucks from my tax refund and get the super deluxe edition. ten was one of "those" records for me.... plus the unplugged.. and the tape... holy shit that's awesome....
i think this is indicative of pearl jam's love for their fans... there are different sets with different levels of affordable-ness... and ALL of them are killer...
say what you will about their music after "ten".. but no one can deny that these guys "get it".....
