Scott Weiland got a memorial spot on IHeart Radio with maybe Big Bang Baby playing in background. Forgot the song. Glad he got a mention this time.

He deserves it. His solo albums are great.

Bash me if you will BUT.
I hereby solemnly swear that Frank Ferrer is the best drummer Guns N Roses have ever had, in my opinion.


Let the haters come:

Fortus looked cool as fuck up there... He is a cool dude, looks the part.

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?"

To quote Batman Begins... "I'm not going to kill you.... but I don't have to save you"

Every scene that Affleck's Batman goes full Rambo/Martin Riggs on the baddies with wreckless abandon, he never outwardly does anything to kill them. They just happen to get killed from the circumstances ala Burton's Batman.


Firstly I'm okay with it. I think the idea of a Superhero with no super powers who doesn't kill people is just fucking dumb.
I've been waiting for Batman to start killing people since I was about 3 years old.
But you are totally fucking wrong about him killing by circumstance.

He smashes a guys head through the floor at one point.
He stabs a guy in the heart.... Stabs a guy in the heart.... AFTER he's decided Superman is a friend.
He drives his car into a a car full of people.
He machine guns a dude in his bat mobile.

You can't tell me that those are not outward purposeful attempts to kill people.
For fuck sake

he's about to kill superman till the very last second


I should also point out. I'm one of the few ho thought that the film was absolutely brilliant. I loved every last second of it and I cannot wait for more.
My favorite Marvel film was Ray Stevensons Punisher Warzone. That was a great movie. If you haven't seen it you should.

I loved Iron Man 1 and liked number 3. I thought the avengers was okay but had to turn it off on the re-watch because it got too boring once you knew the jokes and plot. All the other Marvel films are utter shite.

X-men 1 & 2 and Days of Future Past and Deadpool are also absolute masterpieces.
The rest of the X-men movies are shite.
With the exception of Wolverine which is great up until the end at which point its shite.

Oh and I liked watchmen but prefer Batman v Superman.

I think I liked the more Doom and Gloom superhero stuff and killing. They have to kill. Superheros who don't kill just annoy me.
Having said that though, Spawn was also shite.


Oh Judeg Dredd is a comic too isn't it?
That Dredd movie, the Karl Urban one, that was excellent.

it was a little boring at first (but honestly, IMO, so were the Nolan Batman movies at times, so if it wasn't a problem for those movies, we shouldn't hold that against this one IMO) And they didn't do a god job of explaining that dream sequence to the general audience, people were walking out of the theater like WTF.

@Axlin - interesting analysis dude. So do you think this is a soft reboot of the Nolanverse. Maybe an alternate reality where the events of those films happened with some minor details changing here and there?

Hidden Text:

Haha. Yeah. I had read about it before I went in so know the dream sequence was coming and I still found it shocking. He's walkign around with a pistol shooting guys through the head for Christ sake. I couldn't believe that. I live beside a cinema..... So fuck it.... I think I'll go back for another look tonight.

Yeah I've heard live versions form the old days where slash teases the jungle intro and I know he did last year when I saw him

#117 Re: Guns N' Roses » what VR songs would you like added to the set list? » 507 weeks ago

You'd love that walking papers album Smoking Guns.
There were some great songs on it. really good rocking stuff and then the slower stuff was all menacing, evil sounding Alice Cooper Band type stuff.
I saw them live 2 years back in a tiny little 50 person venue and met Duff briefly in the hallway when I was going for a piss. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

This is another great one from them GNR could do something amazing with:

I think over the past few years Slash and Duff have been writing a lot of GNR songs for different bands.

On topic, I don't mean to belittle VR. I loved them at the time but looking back it was because I felt like there were 2 Guns N Roses in the world. Axl Guns and Slash/Duff Guns. I rarely go back and listen to them now but I haven't gone more than 3 months in the past 8 years without listening to TWAT or Better.

#118 Re: Guns N' Roses » what VR songs would you like added to the set list? » 507 weeks ago

Actually 30 years to life would be the perfect song for Axl to sing on.
Slash's last album was full of GNR songs. The whole  thing felt and sounded like a lost GNR demo.

I would burn an orphanage to the ground to hear Axl sing this song:

#119 Re: Guns N' Roses » what VR songs would you like added to the set list? » 507 weeks ago

Walking Papers - Capital T deserves the GNR treatment too.

They should just release this show asap. Might be the best overall performance by Axl in the new era from what I'm hearing. Do it raw and just put it out there, old school. Then later do some more elaborate package.

Great idea. They should just have slash draw the packaging on paper with a sharpie and use that for the packaging, the same way he drew the poster for their first ever show at the Troubadour. They had it on show at the Troubadour Friday before the show:
