#1501 Re: Guns N' Roses » DJ has left GNR » 583 weeks ago
i didn't like him cause he was a dope.
seriously, sanctimonious ego-tripping jerkstores who claim the morale high ground when saying shit like, "i'm grateful.. for all the people who have let me down.. for all the scars i had to collect on the way", those self-involved godshite people just drag me the fuck down no end. they'd be emotional terrorists if they weren't so fucking pathetic & see-thru.
get the fuck over yourself & your phony fucking image & look outside for once in your goddamn life. he thinks he's got problems?! jesus christ almighty, what a dope. good riddance. glad i'll never hear from or about him again except as footnote to this disappointing gnr-era.
#1502 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy's status...hmmmmmmmm » 583 weeks ago
i'm firmly w/lofton (& gibbo/private eye/smoking). it's plain to see there isn't a band anymore & hasn't been for a while.
it is what it is.
one lazy fucker w/a brand name which keeps the canoli's trickling in. & he's secure financially to have disappeared up his increasingly large ass a long fucking time ago.
i really wouldn't be at all surprised if gibbo's called it.
private eye does raise a funny issue - about how people would say axl wouldn't just dump the new guys. time's a funny old thing. the more things change the more they stay the same! 
#1503 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash and Axl friends again? » 585 weeks ago
Whatever happened to the idea of having Slash play on a few tracks on the net album..?? I'm p sure I read it somewhere along the line, tho it might've just been some random hypothesising rather than anything genuine..
#1504 Re: Guns N' Roses » When's Album? » 585 weeks ago
I want an album full of ballads.
Oh, right..
#1505 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash and Axl friends again? » 585 weeks ago
Does Axl know of this development?
#1506 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's True Detective » 587 weeks ago
still, better than the preposterously stupid shit they pulled last year. green ears..
whereas last season was terrible this year was just relatively bad in comparison - in that it made sense; there were no real macguffins or red herrings, everything that was in the show had a reason to be there. until the last episode there were no real shortcuts taken (the harddrive being so important was just dropped in like a line or two when it reset itself(!)). people's actions were justified & spelt out long before they met their end - it made sense.
whereas last year was just an awful chancer hoodwinking people.
at least this year he seems to have written the thing before he started shooting it, instead of mking it up as he went along like last year.
still, roll on fargo.

#1508 Re: Guns N' Roses » BUMBLEFOOT Says There Are 'Enough Clues Out There' » 588 weeks ago
They are up Fernando's ass @ MyGnR.
He still hasn't said anything, and I don't anticipate that he will.
yea but fernando doesn't say anything without His approval. so, in a way, i'd say this post on htgth has come from Him & is His message on the matter.
#1509 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fortus says new music and tour in 16 » 588 weeks ago
IMO "pretty up in the air" is being a bit too positive. At this point I don't think there's a band at all, hasn't been since their last show, and wont be for the foreseeable future.
this is mostly how i see it also.
apex or other's will know better than me, but what has happened in this period since the last show/axl & pitman's studio work/apex's post on page 2??
from the sounds of it, it would seem like contracts haven't been renewed?? been allowed to lapse? is there anyone still on retainer? pitman even?
but, by the sheer presence of his post/fact of the matter, given fernando felt compelled to write it's a sign there must be life in the beast somwhere.
we're just all on axl time is all. he's won!
he's like hannibal lecter trying to reverse time. only axl can't reverse it either. all he can do is slow it down as much as possible, so it's almost like you're not moving at all.
i would love to see axl's actual schedule, like just day-to-day schedule. he's goddamn brilliant. he's got something going on..
nice work if you can get it i suppose.
#1510 Re: Guns N' Roses » BUMBLEFOOT Says There Are 'Enough Clues Out There' » 588 weeks ago
No matter how nice they were to fans they never really fit the band. The thing about the 02 lineup was fact they were so diverse and nothing about them was main stream. DJ and Ron were incredibly generic.
another +1 here.
An official statement needs to be made now more than ever. I know that gets said every year but this is about as bad as it gets. From a casual fan POV it doesn't matter. If he ever tours he's just gotta have enough guys up onstage to bust out Jungle. Doesn't matter if its Buckethead or Bill Cosby. He's risking losing his hardcore base. We have never seen the band in this state of flux before. That 03-05 period was pretty grim but at least there was a mythical album to discuss and you had a lineup minus Bucket. Now there may not even be a band period. If no album is on the horizon and there's no band, what's going to keep hardcore fans hanging in?
If he stays silent during this phase there's no doubt that he simply doesn't give a shit.
It's the strangest band to be interested in.
this is certainly an interesting moment. but sadly i think you've already answered your own questions when you say, "he's just gotta have enough guys up onstage to bust out Jungle." & it's prob been that way since, god knows, '06? when BH left? before then?!
in those fleeting interviews or q&a's he said he wanted a band. maybe that was way back w/kurt loader in '99??
these days the band is a touring band. Bumble even says if there is an album it's old stuff.
so there you have the state of the 'band'.
as for the fanbase. i'm p sure there is still an active scene - seems to be from mrID & the traffic on other boards.
it's prob not that strange. it's just axl's way..
