There's not one song on CD that Slash couldn't have played on & improved.

His style IS GnR, it's meant to be a GnR album. He's far more versatile than mrID is giving him credit for.
He'd have made any of those songs better.

doc about 3 of the guys behind tpb & the injustice they have to endure as hollywood fuckers hunt them down thru swedish courts.

#1703 Re: The Sunset Strip » Justifed » 715 weeks ago

still only seen the first ep of the season so far
i've got them all d/l'd but haven't had time to keep up w/it. am kinda hoping to catch-up w/them all one weekend.
the first ep was actually really good & i was excited for the season ahead but then time just got away from me.
my mates say it's been a good season so far which annoys me further i haven't been following it.

i miss that attitude.
now it's scrounging around playing weddings, doing any pathetic shit he can to support beta & fernando.

when he says "in the can" is that a euphemism for "toilet"?


i mean i know they gotta say SOMETHING but if hey could just tone down the bullshit by a couple of degrees it'd be a nice thing to do. from the quotes gibbo picked out it's obv Diz doesn't even think before he speaks, or else he's really near as nuts as the head-honcho nut.

Holy fuck dude are you serious. You honestly think my main objective was to have the thread moved because it was burning my ass so much that it was in the wrong section? Unreal. I seriously do question the intelligence level of people somtimes. Did you not see my comment about how I don't really care where this thread was because it's all Guns N' Roses to me. My point wasn't about where this thread was. That was such a minor detail of the post I made making a bigger point. Do I actually care where this thread is located? Fuck no. I'm not even gonna explain it to you. Go back and read it and figure it out yourself. Honestly dude pull your head out and at least TRY to grasp what was being said.


u & ur double talkin jive

Just based out of curiosity shouldn't this thread be in the ex gunners thread. I mean let's be honest if someone had started a Bring Back Slash thread they'd be told to fuck off, the thread would be moved or locked and the person who started it would be accused of trolling and hating the new band.

I guess I'm just seeing some real inconsistencys here and to be honest I do find it annoying that it's perfectly acceptable to discuss bringing Robin back but the idea of classic GnR memebers returning is relegated to another thread and anyone who likes the iea of Slsh returning is living in the past. I guess it's the principle of it all. 

I have to think I'm not the only one who has noticed this and is scratching their head a bit.

i'm seeing real inconsistencies here - on one hand you're trying to get a rise cause the thread is in the wrong place on the other you're trying to excuse that idea as a means of flaming some imaginary reunion/negativity BS.
i think you're just bored. but it's shitty it when comes to this level of crap-slinging..

Regarding song writing, Bono is absolutely correct.
I have three words for people who do not buy into the idea that massively popular and highly crafted albums cannot be fronted by people with no talent once the budget is right...
The Spice Girls.

Those bitches are at the far end of the spectrum but believe me there are many "real" bands who draft in teams of writers and musicians to craft every second of their songs.
Axl was no exception, with Gary Sunshine (Aerosmith writer) hauled in listen and evaluate the tunes he had for CD. By all accounts he wasn't a fan.

To me, "Better" is the only song that really looked like a move away from the Slash era and that sounded great. (I'm referring to the early demo version I first heard).

All the piano songs on CD are "Illusions for the New Millenium" tunes that are really not much of a stretch from the old sound (just a bit more modern with some nods to Radiohead type atmospherics in the background etc). I think Slash could have poured much more emotion into them than the players did on CD.

Axl's style, no matter how hard he tries to escape it, is more Elton John than Trent Reznor. I just don’t think he rubs up well with the harsh landscape of that style of music. I like parts of Shacklers for sure, but that’s as far down that road I can go with Axl.

So, what am I saying? Well, to me CD wasn’t worth the hassle Axl has put himself, his old bandmates, his fans and all of the replacement players through. None of it was beyond the old band to deliver just as well if not better than the replacements did. Scrapped, Riad, Sorry, Maddy all have their moments but ultimately I find myself putting on Breakdown, You Could be Mine and Estranged and thinking to myself “why the fuck did he walk away from this band?”


good post ^
