christ get in shape and hold the notes. nothing is worse then when a singer holds the mic up to the crowd to bail himself out.
that said GNR still has no excuse for how this was handled.

#1443 Re: The Sunset Strip » New AIC Album Sept 29 » 899 weeks ago
When I first heard they had a new singer I didn't even want to check them out. And I didn't for a while. Little by little the new guy broke down my wall. I love this new single. As Axlin said a lot of bands have ripped on AIC and now Jerry and the boys are here to teach them how to do it properly. I can see this being a big rock radio hit. And I am beginning to feel we have another album too add to the very short list of amazing hard rock albums of the 00s.
you know the material is good when it is opinion changing. you have a very open mind for being able to give the music a chance despite the politics behind it. i find many people are predisposed to hating certain tracks just because of the artist, or the type of person the artist is, or the genre of music (myself included on some occasions.
there's no denying that the replacement of layne is a huge hurdle for this band. however, i do feel that they are laying the blueprint for the successful "carrying on" if you will of a band that loses an essential piece.
its a slow process. at first they started out just jamming with an ensemble of singers at various occasions. then they saw the reaction they got, and did a festival tour around the world, with a singer that kind of stayed out of the spotlight for the most part. they didn't shove him down people's throats. they let people get accustomed to the new voice. then they did a U.S. club tour, and kicked it into another gear. next thing you know they are opening for velvet revolver, reaching out some new/old fans, then they have the following they need to create new music and leave an indelible mark on the band's legacy.

I can't believe Seinfeld is loosing to South Park...come on...Seinfeld was years ahead of it's time and a work of social ettiquite genius.....
ok, but south park is neither before its time or after its time...its DURING our time. It is literally a diary of the world, put together in a brilliantly comedic way.
#1446 Re: GNRevolution Madness » GnREvolution T.V. Madness - Round 2, Battle 14 » 899 weeks ago
No it doesn't. South Park will be just as much one of the legendary animated comedies, as Seinfeld was legendary live action comedies.
I STILL think South Park, and Matt Stone & Trey Parker's satirical ability is UNMATCHED, and still vastly underappreciated, mainly because they are conservatives in a business full of liberals.
also you could ague that it is underappreciated because they are on comedy central, and not a major network like family guy, the simpsons, and whatever else fox has in its primetime sunday slot.

i wouldnt necessarily call them conservative, if I'm not mistaken they are both quoted as saying they try to toe the line with their comedy...and they do a very good job at it.
take the episode "best friends forever" for example, which was a take on the terry schiavo fiasco.
when kenny's will is finally discovered, and the part of being in a vegetative state is read, they have the option of going the conservative route (pull the plug) or the liberal route (let him live), yet instead, the part of the will reads "if i am ever to be in a vegetative state please, for the love of god, don't ever show me like that on national television." ...classic.
contrast this with family guy, who in recent seasons has really taken on the ultra-liberal persona of its creator...this leads to alienating a lot of people, and frankly, being not that funny.

Damn, I thought this would be a tough matchup for Seinfeld here. But in reality it has no right losing to South Park. This shouldn't even be close.
By the way, Seinfeld reunion (sort of) on Curb Your Enthusiasm this season.
seinfeld has every right losing to south park.
