#1482 Re: The Sunset Strip » Alien 5 & Prometheus 2 » 580 weeks ago
Wow. So I'm one of the 3 people who liked Prometheus! I didn't know there were any others.
I loved alien too, not so much the rest of the franchise (tho obv aliens was great in its own way - & 3 was hard done by). But Ridley seems to have true ownership of the story so I'll always trust him ahead of anyone just out to make an action/horror/chase film.
My expectations are that I'll believe them when I see it. Ridley's talking like he'll be making alien films for e next 7-10 years which I think is just unrealistic. I hope he does tho cause all most every other film he's made since black hawk down has stunk bar Prometheus.
I'll still try & go see the Martian tho..

Mad max fury road
Possibly the greatest film ever.
Missed it when it was in the cinema. Really wish I'd caught it at the time. Best thing.

I'm always curious to hear what axl has to say but I'm on the fence/unconvinced by robin.
Never got the fuss for that guy. Yea he has his moments but nothing that was ever indispensable. & the couple of times I saw him live he wasn't great. he was Better in '06, mind - '01 he just stood out like a sore thumb, which was an impressive enough feat given that lineup, his contributions, particularly the old stuff (which was most of the set back then - & still is!) were jarring & very disappointing, bordering on distasteful.
I'd imagine axl would still want to bring in more of a shredder, or at least someone quicker to tackle the bucket parts. Richard is rightly praised, but the idea he could fill that role always perplexes me. He's the rhythm guy. Fincks problem is he wasn't the rhythm guy & certainly isn't cut out for lead duties. Dunno.
I guess I'd rather have a reunion.
& seriously, how does he not get more shit for bailing when he did?
& his aloofness I found really irritating. It was always like gnr & the fans were beneath him.
The real thing is, & always has been, he wasn't a fit replacement for Slash in 97/98, & he's still not. + he already had his shot & walked away - why'd people accept him back I don't get it..

Drop your reds, drop your greens & blues..
Re above post:
I used to be a big Mars Volta fan. They never delivered on the promise of that debut ep. Man, that still stings. Such an exciting time & I quite like deloused, but everything just seemed a step backwards, then side wards, from the debut. They just never captured the freedom they had on that first post-at the drive in release.

He only needs a bass player if he's touring.
He's only doing a tour if it's a reunion.
There's no recording/writing.
He doesn't need a new bass player even if Tommy is unavailable. He doesn't need a bass player, or a band, anymore.I am assuming in the case he wants to continue the band, in whatever form. What we hear from Dizzy and Fortus suggests he will.
Yea, that's cause they're doing the reunion. You think they're hanging around watching pitman muck about on his computer?
Well maybe they are. I don't know what passes for fun anymore in gnr..

#1489 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy is out(?) » 582 weeks ago
Thanks for the memories, & fucked up shit, & the loyalty, Tommy. Disappointing ending, don't think he needs to handle it in the press. If he really needs clarity pick up the phone or figure it out yourself. After 17 years of keeping quiet a few more years of stonewalling the gnr stuff wouldn't have hurt, instead he seems to have burned his bridges here..?? Or maybe he does have the info dizzy & Richard have??
I guess now we know the reunion lineup. Richard got the nod, duff'll be back on bass.
Makes sense even if it is hardlines on Tommy, he's prob been the 2nd longest serving/suffering member (whatever that was worth in the end..)
