#11821 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » SCOTT WEILAND Is A No-Show At VELVET REVOLVER's SUNDANCE Concert » 980 weeks ago
so a cancelled flight is indeed the official explanation
SCOTT WEILAND Explains SUNDANCE Concert No-Show - Jan. 22, 2008
BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received an official statement from VELVET REVOLVER's publicist regarding frontman Scott Weiland's absence from the band's concert Sunday night (January 20) at the 944 Magazine's party at Tao during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It reads as follows:
"On Sunday, January 20, the private plane that Scott was traveling on from Miami (where he performed the night before at the AROD Family Foundation and Bay Point Schools benefit) to Utah was diverted because of bad weather. The pilot wouldn't fly from Miami to the Salt Lake City Airport because of extremely poor visibility and a potential poor weather system that made it dangerous for the plane to fly to Salt Lake City. Two hours into the flight, it was diverted to the Van Nuys Airport (in Los Angeles).
"Scott, the band and management tried to find a flight to take him from Van Nuys to Salt Lake City in time for the band's show, but this was not possible. By the time Scott landed at the Van Nuys airport, it was too late to make any connecting flights. VELVET REVOLVER's tour manager also looked into private flights for Scott, but a crew was not available in time for an immediate departure that would have brought him to the show on time."

It's probably not on HTGTH because I doubt even Beta likes Jarmo. Wasn't he somewhat responsible for the some of the leaks? Maybe he's in the doghouse a little?
no...Jarmo knew the songs were out there maybe even had some or all of them before they were public knowledge, but he never has condoned or allowed leaks on his site nor did even allow discussions about them at first...he tried his hardest to keep it all under wraps but too many people were frequenting HTGTH at all hours for it to remain a secret

I've seen the 89 Batman on TV and it really sucks imo. I'd rather watch the George Clooney one. I would say that Batman Begins is the only good post-Adam West Batman movie that is good. I expect the Dark Knight to be good as well.
when i saw it in the theatre in 89 it was cutting edge

Bill Cosby drunk, blindfolded, and with a gag ball in his mouth could top that.
That is what permanently turned me off to the Batman franchise. That first film was a snooze fest straight from the gates of hell.
I'm gonna have to watch Batman Begins before this new film comes out.
haha that deserves karma...but keep in mind people that this is a fan of peewee herman 
j/k
I loved the 89 batman...batman returns put me to sleep though...but i was tired, i need to try and watch it again

Neemo, well, I'm 41 so I have an idea as to what the older demographic thinks.
i'm 33 this year and my Parents and inlaws are in their 50's and i'm telling you there is no way they would buy gnr... at best its a guilty pleasure to listen to their kid's tunes when drinking but thats like the old tunes PC and WTTJ and SCOM and maybe NR thats about the extent of it...the rest is "screaming nut music" (haha thats what my stepdad used to call GnR) to them..and My MIL is even a big fan of zepplin and clapton and hendrix...but GnR is just past that era
I'm not saying that there wont be older fans that listen to new GnR material but they will be the exception more than the norm...IMO anyway
#11826 Re: The Sunset Strip » HEATH LEDGER DEAD » 980 weeks ago
just like Cesar Romero no doubt inspired Jack Nicholson and Jack prolly inspired Heath...i'm sure he'll inspire an actor to acceptably take on the character...the batman franchise isnt know for its loyalty to past actors anyway
I mean for me it even remains to be seen if Heath will top Jack's Joker from 1989
#11827 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Info regarding CD » 980 weeks ago
could you honestly see a 50yo dude listenign to better and a song called twat?
if the cd is chalked full of tunes like blues, citr and maybe even madagascar i could see attempting to target that demographic but axl seemingly has followed current trends through the years and wants to target the 20's-30's demographic...keep his fans from the 80's and bring in the younger ones as well...
IMO GNR will never be able to acheive an acceptable fanbase in an older demographic

Good point. I forgot all about the Eagles. They were a Walmart only album and I believe internet sales as well. Yeah with that first single comes the real answer as to if this record is going to sell or not.
GnR are not the eagles though...they have that extra generation or 2 of fans that GnR doesnt have..
70's bands are in another league than the 80's rock bands are sorry but its true
