Anyway, I love Slash's playing and appreciate EVH's, but there's no way I'd beat up someone for siding with EVH.
bitch probly deserved it.

mark lanegan is god.
best catalogue in rock music since the 70's.
everything he touches turns to gold.
greatest voice in the world.
you should hear him live. he opens his mouth & it's like a goldrush. it's one of the wonders of the world.
strange religion is ridiculously awesome. one of my all time fave songs. he's an incredible writer too.
like a satanic van morrison slowly bleeding to death.

it's about a writer from new york who moved to LA w/his daughter & gf. & gets lots of pussy.
there's a lotta great tits in it & some funny stuff.
there's a good few BLS references too - heard Rose Petaled Garden on the soundtrack in a recent episode. john goodman made a small cameo as a character based on zakk too, duchovny's character meets him in a jail cell goodman's dressed like zakk w/a BLS biker jacket on.

Slash has the tone & the songs for me
Evh is awesome, mind blowing in his own way but I dunno if he'd even make my top 10 fave guitarists.

Bump
Been watching this.
There's a character this season, a coked-up ginger haired rock star who bears a resemblance to Axl.. (Played by tim minchin). Bach made a cameo as a dead guitarist too.
#1699 Re: Guns N' Roses » pink floyd - in the flesh vs OIAM » 714 weeks ago
Yeah i know i'm too drunk to place them apart, they're in the same verse and as a whole its just naive venom imo. I like the song but I find it embarrassing, Axls vocals and the music are fantastic but the lyrics are weak. I cant crank that song out and sing along and feel proud, it just doesnt sit right with me. I think thats what Axl was going for, to be controversial rather than have a real point. He was trying to get under peoples skin to create a furore, its like someone saying something really offensive then turning round and saying "I was only joking", its a cop out, Axl said it wasnt him it was a character he was describing - cop out.
I enjoy singing along to it.
It's s snapshot of emotion. Unapologetic. I can see why some might not like his choice of words but it works, fit well. I've had plenty of fucking horrible thoughts about people & said horrible things about people in the heat of the moment & I think he captures that. It's just a passing feeling y'know not a cop out. I think he excuses himself in the chorus the narrator finds redemption.

The Wall was a concept album and it had paranoid and discriminatory themes popping up all through it, in the context of the album that verse wasnt shocking at all, it was all part of the theatre.
OIAM came out of left field and had no context, it was like it was just another Axl Rose rant from that scary band Guns N Roses and it rather than being theatre, it was genuine venom. I like the melody and passion of the song but I still find the line of immigrants and faggots spreading diseases uncomfortable.
just to clarify i think it's the faggots who spread the disease, the immigrants talk so many goddamn ways & think they'll do as they please.
OIAM lyrics are awesome. much much better than Roger Walters imo.
