I haven't seen any negative Bernie stories in the European media, but I see one on Trump every day. Sure, he is no establishment favorite, but they're not going after him either. Where he is out of tune he is often appealing to the same things as Trump. Like protectionism and scaling back the foreign wars.
I don't think the European media matters to an American election. Nor should it.

Slightly OT - but what should I listen to to get into Def Lep.
The only song I know of theirs is "Pour Some Sugar on Me" - which I'll confess I like when in the mood for a bit of 80s rock type stuff.
Leppard are never OT 
I got your back on this Monkey. Their catalog is too big and they have no album that covers the whole Def Leppard vibe. I made a friend a Def Leppard Mix CD a few years back and after a week he bought tickets to his first Leppard show.
Here's my patented "How to get a friend into Def Leppard" It includes the best 2 songs from each album and 3 from X because although that album has a lot of ballads it also has some of Leps heaviest stuff and 4 from the new album because it is genuinely some of their best work.
CD 1
On Through the Night:
1. Wasted
2. Rock Brigade
High N' Dry:
3. Let it Go
4. Hit N' Run
Pyromania:
5. Too Late for Love
6. Stagefright
Hysteria:
7. Women
8. Run Riot
Adrenalize:
9. White Lightning
10. Tear it Down
Slang:
11. Pearl of Euphoria
12. Turn to Dust
CD2:
Euphoria:
13. Paper Sun
14. Kings of Oblivion
X:
15. Cry
16. 4 Lettered Word
17. Scar
Yeah:
18. Rock On
19. The Golden Age of Rock N' Roll
Songs from the Sparkle Lounge:
20.Go
21. Gotta Let it Go
Def Leppard (Self-titled):
22. Battle of My Own
23. Sea of Love
34. Let's Go
35. Wings of an Angel
That list skips all their ballads and pop songs because if you want that side of Def Leppard, just turn on your local classic rock station.
And just to whet your appetite here are some modern Lepp songs with a real biting edge:
Cry from X

Go from Sparkle Lounge
I'd also suggest listtening to Phil's solo band manraze. Its got him on vox and guitar his friend on Bass and the Sex Pistols drummer on Drums.
Also Viv Vampbell the other guitarist got back with the old Dio band to record an album just before Jimmy McBains death and that is one hell of an album. It's really got that classic Dio feel.
I've enjoyed Lep's music since I was 11. That's nearly my entire life. They're woven into so many memories and events over time.
If only GnR had stuck together, or at least reformed after a few years, they'd have an amazing catalog.
One thing is for sure...time FLIES.
I bought my first Lepp CD and My first Aerosmith CD on the day I learned to drive.

I thought he played off Slash really well too.
Listen to them on this track. Fortus and Slash really do work very well together.
I bet when Axl heard that he thought to himself "Who's Izzy?"[/embed]
Fortus is not on that track. He also refused to jam with Slash when Slash was asked to Jam with Thin Lizzy. I think he left the stage for respect to Axl. Funny how he had to cover Slash in GNR and Dead Dasies. Haha.
Shame, I must have just convinced myself I was hearing what I wanted to. That's unsettling.

Great. Opened that in work. My own fault.

Guns N' Roses is Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum & Dizzy Reed
According to the Rock Hall.
Yes and Madonna is a rock and roll band according to the illustrious Rock N roll Hall of Fame too.
They have no authority. They're not the Hogwarts of Rock Music.
They're a bunch of posers who don't understand that the idea of a hall of fame where people can be included or excluded in rock n roll history goes against everything rock n roll stands for.
Fuck em.

Yeah and take into consideration the fact that anyone interested knows it's low quality footage of clips.
If it was HQ the number would be in the millions.
Since this show I have done shitload of searches on youtube for video and its amazing how many people have stole that jungle video and upload it them self
http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u464/Gibbsy5000/33333_zpswr2ve9ob.png
Pure theft plain and simple. there is a lot of money in ad revenue for videos with a large number of hits on youtube.
If you steal a video that is rising fast in popularity, you could take half the ad revenue.
The worst part is that the money is being taken out of the band and record labels pocket because when GNR release that show on DVD, and they might there was a pro camera man front row center there, a lot of people will think "I can watch that for free on youtube" and won't buy it. The lower returns on sales then makes the record company or DVD company , usually eagle rock they're the big rock DVD guys, reluctant to release any more material from the band due to low returns.
It's really fucked the game up. It used to be that between tours a band might put a concert film out to tide people over.
Now they are more likely to come out just before a major tour if there is no album on the table just so that the DVD release gets publicity and people go and buy a ticket as a result.
Although I love youtube, I dislike it a lot too.
Rant over.
#110 Re: Guns N' Roses » Your Outrageous Guns N' Roses Predictions » 507 weeks ago
I've come up with another outrageous one:
When AFD is re-released soon (I'd assume 2017 for the 30th but you never know - could be a year late knowing GNR) it will not only have the remaster many want but it will have ALL NEW AXL VOCALS - possibly from his fabled 2009 re-record of AFD with nu-guns.
I don't think he'll put out the full nu-gns re-record - but I can imagine a mix of 1987 band sounds with 1999 Vocals.
Nu-Guns to me were always a development of the UYI era GNR. They weren't about gritty rock n roll but more progressive style music. Like Dream Theater with a bit of NIN thrown in but the instrumental wank tuned down a few notches.
They couldn't do justice to AFD in my opinion.
I really don't want to hear Finks take on You're Crazy.
