#1722 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 715 weeks ago
finally saw the 2nd X-Files film last nite
jesus it was shite
cheap as fk too - billy connelly?! haha!
i guess duchovny was fuckin amanda peet @ the time. i can't stand her & can't think of any other reason why she'd have been cast (except she was prob cheap)
& xibit?!
still it was nice seeing mulder n scully again. even if the whole catholic bullshit dying kid thing was a drag.
where the fuck were the aliens?! or the action? there was like one shitty chase scene w/the guy from due south & that was it. there was a half decent story buried in the main plot but they didn't get to it til like forever.
t was just so shit. such a waste.
#1723 Re: The Sunset Strip » Foo Fighters to start work on new album this week, Dave Grohl confirms » 715 weeks ago
was gonna make a comment about taylor swift there @ the brits but remembered how much trouble i got into the last time so managed to stop myself!
it seems every FF album ghrol seems to have a tortured process making it & isn't afraid to let people know either. a bit like bono & u2 in that regard. they always have to tell everyone what a chore & hard work their great jobs are.
they should go be nurses & wipe incontinent old peoples asses instead if it's so much trouble to make a rock album, y'know?
(ok, i know i'm reading a bit much into this little quip he made to some nobody presenter of a nothing brit awards show, but trust me, it'll be a massive drag for him to make this album like always. & i mean having said that, i'm sure yer man taylor hawkins isn't the easiest guy to work or get along with.)
#1724 Re: The Garden » Selling my soul to the Devil - but what will I trade it for? » 715 weeks ago
i don't think i'd opt for musical ability tbh
i'd prob want to be as good @ football as maradona or zizou.
or maybe have keef's constitution for partying/drug intake.
it wouldn't be a gift that i'd wanna share w/anyone, like singing or playing guitar. it'd be something to make me feel better.
i would trade my soul for just about anything really.
there's no such thing after all.

fuck i feel like the little kid watching his divorced parents bitch about stupid shit instead of talking about the good times.
re: BH Nightrain solo
i don't actually hear this reinvention tbh. i actually thought he stayed true to the 'feel'/'tone'/whatever-the-fuck of the original but then added an extra dimension, he took it a little deeper made it a little more cautionary & sadder/blue-iser(?) while still maintaining the story of the original (which is actually my all time favourite solo, not just of GnR but anyone).
i do agree w/those that say BBF doesn't carry it off as well. too twiddly, doesn't have the right attitude or power. BH was able to infuse it w/an extra layer of that elusive 'soul' while maintaining it's integrity, BBF's just seems redolent of someone tossing out the first idea that came to mind rather than appreciating the power of the song. his approach doesn't have the potency of Slash & BH's versions. they fly, albeit fly into the abyss of hell. BBF's just seems to have no impact & the current version is too glitzy, too happy-party-face rather than the scintillating dirge of previous incarnations. there's an admission in Slash & BH's solo's that is missing from BBF's, it's not a party anthem or if it is it's a party anthem for the damned which just isn't conveyed in the current line-up.
(fwfw i voted for BH Nightrain in the song of the week poll. & will do again next time. i'd have requested it actually but someone beat me to the punch somewhere along the line).

Fwiw I read today PS3 has sold more than 360 worldwide, but in the USA 360 has sold more than PS3. Unfortunately article didn't mention figures to back it up but I'd have no prob believing it.

Twat aside, Bh on Nightrain & Maddy r prob the two greatest GnR moments post-classic line-up. Sublime stuffup there w/the greatest GnR performances/songs. Such a sad waste.
#1728 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 716 weeks ago
the price'll be sub-£300/$300
i thought Killzone looked great graphically but seemed like the bog standard FPS it is.
overall it seemed like a missed opportunity from sony - there was no Last Guardian or even Drake, not the mention the frankly bizarre decision not to unveil the actual machine.
a lot of the trailers i thought were graphically top draw, the capcom one especially (looked far bar than Avatar does when not in 3D). but they weren't in-game/gameplay footage so it's like wtf is the point?
Watch Dogs & Destiny are both coming out on PS3 as well?! jesus christ what's the point, shades of nintendo' leap from gamecube to wii.
& they're both multiplatform too - the only thing they have is some exclusive content for Watch Dogs but whose to say there won't be other exclusive content on the new Xbox the way this gen's releases work? in fact it was weird Activision basically gave their presentation over to Bungie & Destiny, that part really had nothing to do w/Sony at all rather just a mens to hype Activisions publishing of the new Bungie game, & to end the show with such a whimper was stupid. at least they didn't show crappy sequels i guess...
really crappy show from sony.
#1729 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 716 weeks ago
No console or price about 3 games shown (if even)
Can't believe I stayed up for that am a sucker
#1730 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 716 weeks ago
Killzone LOOKED great but that's no real surprise
The surprise is they're actually showing game footage
Such a lot of crappy fluff being talked just get to the action ffs obv there's no proper stuff ready to be shown - have they rushed this thing? That drive club looked rubbish
