Never mind Axl, this guy had an awesome speaking voice! He had a killer way of delivering lines, like he was savouring every word & having an absolute laugh while doing it. Great fun actor.

The songs much much sound worse, with far less swing & rock n roll with 3 guitarists. It's like rock without the roll. Just White American rock music on steroids.
That idea of sounding richer & fuller is totally false. They sound oppressed, squeezed of texture or nuances of accommodate something that doesn't fit.
I said it a while back: what I want is the 5 piece band without keyboards or synths. I want a rock n roll band again. Keys & horns are OK for a track or two & maybe some backing singers for the ballads/softer songs. But yea.. The 3rd guitarist actually weakens the thing.
The Finck quote from James explains the necessity of it during the BH era but now with a traditional lead player in Slash we really don't need the 3rd guy taking up space & energy.

Or: he's just an asshole who knows how to sing..??
Sometimes I feel the myth of Axl, or anyone famous really, gets blown completely out of proportion.
He's a reflection of the society that created him. He is interesting & talented no doubt, but so are plenty of people. & plenty of them I'd cross the street to get away from too..
I appreciate his music & the contribution he's made, but let's not think his shit doesn't stink like everyone's, y'know? Is he really that special & unique? Not sure I buy it.. If he was you couldn't relate to him probably..

Did that Soma over the last few days. Really loved it.
I'm not usually keen on survival horror but this was just the right mix of adventure/puzzle & a bit of horror thrown in. In many ways it played more like a walking simulator than an action/survival game.
I played Alien Isolation but never finished it. Got fed up of hiding in lockers n shit, but there was very little of that in Soma. More freedom to explore without having to worry about insta-death.
Trying to finish up The Talos Principle which has been a really good puzzle game. Bit of a melter tho.
Grabbed the latest Wolfenstein & Borderlands the Handsome collection off the psn sale so going to dive into them next.
After all this puzzling I feel the need to shoot stuff again.
Might give world of tanks a blast. One of my friends swears by it but I've never really been fussed.
Looking forward to the witness & maybe this war of mine at the end of the month.
Then Far Cry Primal.
Good times. Plenty of distractions.

Yes to this ^
There isn't 1 CD song that wouldn't have been better had Slash been on it.
No offence to 4tus, or nuGnR fans, but Slash & only Slash should be doing the solo's. He would improve every one of those songs. 4tus is a good session man & a reliable old spud, but he's not & never will be lead guitarist of GnR, or worthy of that role.

You do know wrestling isn't real, right? That stone cold Steve Austin was just a character created by someone & not actually a real person, yea?

Also – and I fully acknowledge that I'm the weird one here – I really hope Fortus gets a few moments to shine in the show. Like, I kind of want him to continue taking one of the November Rain solos...
Sacrilege.

Trust me, MSL and Jim knew way before that.
And for the record, I said Slash was a possible replacement for DJ before your original 5 carwash!!
i dont know if that's quite true buddy.. weren't you & your insiders going for finck coming back & dismissive of the slash stuff??
Rex wrote:Damn, I thought one of the "insiders" would have answered the drummer question for us already. Kinda funny how they're quiet now, even tho I swore they all said there's no way Sorum would be involved.
This is how its always been:
Story emerges....insiders knew it all along.....story changes....insiders go quiet....wait for story to evolve....picture gets clearer....insiders adapt their story to latest info.....new story emerges....insiders knew it all along....story changes....insiders go quiet....
this.
this is exactly how it has played out the last couple of months.

This seems like a possible scenario. Axl reads the forums. Maybe he will decide to troll the fuck out of you.
Revenge for SG blowing the story wide open after the car wash incident.
Axl just appreciates the lost art of keeping a secret 
#1340 Re: Guns N' Roses » Something is up with Pitman » 565 weeks ago
That is what I told you guys a few weeks ago that I didn't like Pitman running his yap and this should be about Axl, Duff, and Slash right now because nobody gives a shit about Pit honestly and it creates a distraction like it is now.
There's actually a few people on Twitter seem to give a shit. Who knew?
I don't give a shit btw.
But you were right, again SG. You did call it & it's come to pass. Fuckin prophet!
