#141 Re: GN'R Downloads » Riad » 491 weeks ago
Interesting. I love Riad(the demo) but always considered the "ahhh...ahh....ahhh's" to be placeholders that he never went back to. Song always felt incomplete to me even though I do think its one of the strongest tracks so far from the CD sessions.
Bucket owns this song. It was a travesty removing his solo from the album.
True those Ahhs could have been swapped out for a nice high pitched guitar riff.

I am so Jealous. 7,944 km. That's whats stopping me.
That and the cost of making a journey of that size.
#143 Re: Guns N' Roses » Why the Guns 'N Roses Reunion Is a Mistake » 491 weeks ago
I certainly don't think they have to announce everything before hitting the stage in Vegas. Just trickle out tidbits of info on the road to Vegas. Maybe even post a clip of rehearsals or let the set list "leak" out. There are many different things that can be done between now and April.
As I've said before, the world lives and dies by what's trending.The fact that the shows are sold out is beside the point. Of course they sold out. Scalpers bought most of them in an hour. Sold out shows isn't a reason to stay silent until they walk out onstage. Many people are happy this reunion is happening. Let it keep going in that direction.
I think they will do all that and more.
I'd expect duff to shoot behind the scenes vids for twitter or youtube.
There is no way in hell Axl would get on the same stage as Slash unless the hatchet was buried.
I think we're gonna see something special here.
I'd expect Axl to be 100% on and Slash and Duff too.
After Axl played with Duff last time he said that he felt he had to raise his game to match Duff during the performance.
He couldn't let himself be outplayed by this guy who he used to be and really should still be on par with.
Throw Slash into that mix, a guitarist who is at his most powerful right now, and you've got a recipe for some incendiary performances.
Axl is so on fire here and so is Duff and they both love it:
Expect that.
I don't think we're going to be let down here.
I think a lot of the problem all these years for each of these guys solo is that the sum is truly greater than the parts.
Together they are a different beast.
And lets not forget this gem:
A simple remix that puts slash duff and axl on the same song manages to be better than either of the originals.
I have high hopes for this coming tour.
But I don't for a second think that they are too high.
I saw Axl about 3 years ago with the old nu-GNR.
He and they were excellent.
I saw Slash with Myles. He was excellent.
I saw Duff with walking papers. He was perfect.
These guys on the same stae playing together again??
Forgedaboutit.
Cannot fucking wait.
As for the Huff-Post?
It's an opinion piece. In the words of Kelly Jones: It means nothing. I know guys who got blogs for the HoPo. They're not exactly rocket scientists and their not exactly in the know about every possible topic either. Opinions pieces simply do not matter...

I saw these guys open for Slash in Dublin maybe 2 years back. They were excellent.

Dream Theater just released their new album "The Astonishing".
I think it is some of their best work to date.
It is well worth a listen and the band an official stream for free on youtube.
I think some of you might enjoy it.

Their solo careers show that Axl was critical to the creative process. Even bad ass riffs like Slither are marred by the uninspired mediocrity of Weiland, and he was the best singer they worked with.
I wouldn't call Weiland mediocre – he was up there with Axl in terms of his passion and ability to craft a phrase. The only thing he didn't have was the vocal range. Passion and writing ability are what differentiate them from the herd – with almost all of the GN'R solo stuff, particularly Slash's efforts, the music's perfectly good but it's let down by what the singer's scribbled on a notepad. There's usually a line in every Slash solo song that makes me cringe ("Nervous twitchin' in my hands," "Starlight, don't you cry we're going to make it right," "Gonna make my way down to Mexico.").
The Weiland bashing is often political. Some people just don't like what alternative rock represented.
His skill and the range of feeling he could put in his voice was second to none. His writing was top drawer world class stuff.
He knew how to not be cheesy and how to subvert the cliches of rock n roll just enough that his songs felt fresh but still had that rock n roll vibe. A true master.
#147 Guns N' Roses » GN'R Are Now Selling Classic-Lineup Merch, It's Actually a Pretty Big » 501 weeks ago

"In the midst of heavy speculations about the return of classic Guns N' Roses lineup, the band has offered a new line of merchandise, featuring none-other than members and marks of that very same classic lineup.
What makes this a big deal, apart from that sexy GN'R beanie to help you woo the ladies, is the fact that the band's classic trademarks are jointly owned by Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan.
Back in 2006, Slash tried to trademark the old GN'R logos (here's proof, here's another one), and ultimately, the trademarks were abandoned in March 2007.
This leads to a conclusion that the boys might have made some sort of agreement, and with all the other stuff that's circulating the web, strongly hints that classic Guns N' Roses are set to return.
You can check out the new merch batch here.
In recent news, Slash confirmed that his schedule has been cleared for the exact period when the reunion tour is rumored to take place.
According to previous reports, the band is gearing up for a global tour in 2016. They will reportedly first headline several major festivals in Europe and US, only to embark on a full-blown trek to mark the group's 30th anniversary.
There are multiple sources that indicate the boys are indeed back in town, but no official confirmation has yet been released.
Additional report claims that Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler, or Matt Sorum will not be participating in the reunion. "

International Business Times published the following list of additional potential targets listed by Anonymous, whom they list as a "loose collective of online activists."

The Anonymous collective who reported the news included the following statement: "The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while."

The first site I ever posted on was the original mygnr message board (not the forum) around 2000/2001. I'm still a member of Mygnrforum, think my username there is downliner. I also posted on the various Izzy forums over the years, had my own izzy fansite for about 10 years and been posting at Evo for 8-9 years
I've been here since the ilitpress/ROV/CD.COM Heyday

It's something I suppose.
Modest and all as it is.
