Look if ur a nin fan I mean no disrespect...I just don't understand the relationship to gnr style or content and every couple years the Reznor rose comparison seems to surface

Not liking Trent's music over the years is one thing, but to put him on the same level as Sixx AM
.
Wasn't my intent at all. .and I concede that NIN are much bigger than Sixx am ... was never really meant to be implied ... like comparing screaming trees to nirvana really
I would say that trent and Nikki are pretty close as far as influence goes tho...prolly a pretty valid comparison as well as both guys sold an image as necessarily opposed to talent
But sixx am is to Crue what Snakepit is to gnr

I only have 5 platinum trophies...out of 22 games that i really got into..and 2 are telltale trophies (TWO & GOT) where u get a platfnumber use for finishing the game 
when I get close I will grind a bit to get the last couple if I'm enjoying the game...but I don't spend all my time just trophy hunting
I was close in the order 1886, infamous 2nd son and shadow of mordor but I couldn't do it...by the time i finished the game I was done with them

And I'm sure as shit not getting into a debate on NIN, especially when Syxx AM is brought up in the same breath.
Not a debate...I just don't feel that NIN are that big of deal...neither is Sixx AM...im not saying that NIN isn't big...they are...I just don't get it...never have been a fan
Their best song to me is head like a hole...and even that isn't all to innovative imho

3 days 16 hours 18 minutes is what my save says ... so just over 88 hours
I also have done all 4 of the main faction endings which is another 2 or 3 hours each...so maybe 95-100 hours total...shorter than draginage
a hint if u do play...there is really only 2 endings
Had to grind a bit to do 3 of the 51 trophies and u need to create a couple strategic save slots

Regarding DJ ... I feel that bumble, Richard and DJ did the best at selling GnR guitar work as orginally presented ... I like DJ ... maybe not my favorite guitarist, but he has a decent sound and style that I enjoy...and his image that he made for himself looks good on stage...he's worked, successfully imo, on those iconic guitar poses that fans love, plus he has decent enough chops to pull out the cheers from the crowd ... superficial maybe but he's still good at it
I think Sixx AM is pretty cool ... I like them, Nikki and DJ make some solid music ... it's too bad that James Michael is so bland ... I wouldn't consider them nesessarily a singles band but their albums are pretty cohesive as a whole ... especially the debut...reading Nikki's book then listening to the album...it works well...I haven't bought the newest Sixx am album yet...I dunno if it's even out yet? Just heard the single on the radio on Friday. ..was ok
I agree he is a bit of a try hard where it comes to Asha $wag but hey if I could sell a bunch a shit with my name as the brand I would too
he's not gearing his image to 30 or 40 somethings ... it's more for the highschool / college kids ... it's like starwars...that shit ain't made for u or I anymore ... it's for the young'uns ... unfortunately he never got a break from GnR fans...I liked his ballad of death...was fun...I'd like to hear him and Axl together some day..
Regarding his departure from gnr...im wondering if it was a few things lead up to his leaving. ..Nikki ready to record/tour again and increasing likely hood that S&D were coming back ... seems that Tommy anyway gladly stepped aside for Duff's return...I could see DJ/Bumble doing the same ... both those guys had careers before gnr ... Bumble anyway had expressed feelings that he hoped slash and axl would reunite one day...Richard was the only session guy ... that was his career before gnr is playing for other people when needed

Never understood people's fascination with trent/nin ... nor how he came to be considered a Rock god ... the actual music itself is quite bland and the tones themselves ... expecially the guitar from my pov are quite bad
Never have been a fan ... from a guitarist standpoint alone... "Hurt" is an embarrasment ... from where I sit and from what I remember of trent's rise, his fame lies more in the imagery that he presented in videos amd album art that was appealing to teens / young adults, than the music itself ... funny cuz the videos were so fucked up they ended up getting banned , at least in Canada, and all we have remaining is the pedestrian music
I'd liken NIN more to a "dark" dance music than anything .... and, for me, listening to a full NIN album is akin to some kind of torture, maybe only surpassed by making me listen to "fat of the land" by prodigy ... same shit to me ... fuck off with that electronica crap ... gimme a Les Paul thru a loud Marshall stack any day
