#1991 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 733 weeks ago
i'm p excited for this tbh
i think they coulda done themselves a favour maybe cutting the band down by a few members for these shows, or rotating the players as the songs require. we don't really need diz ormother goose for the likes of patience, y'know. y'prob don't need one of 4tus or DJ either for that matter...
but having said that i'm all for mother goose rocking a tambourine for a handful of tunes!

it is nice to see axl on tv. but i just don't think these circumstances are worthy of him or the band.
seriously, have you looked at ana gasteyers IMDB?!
THAT is the standard we're at these days.
embarrassing.

SNL is a bigger deal than Jimmy Kimmel
& hey, i've seen jagger on cheaper produced shows than jimmy kimmel - my point is more about the standards & quality of the show rather than $$$.
Later has far more kudos than just about any music/entertainment show i know. in terms of tv performances, it has captured more great moments than any other tv, probably ever - inc ed sullivan, or letterman or old grey whistle.
is jimmy kimmel really a big deal in the US?
how many talk shows get bigger ratings than it?
or rather, how many talk shows get lower ratings than it?!
i'm unconvinced..

very very bad.how many singles did Zeppelin actually release? i think they release d'yer m'ker as a single in the US & maybe Whole Lotta Love but i really don't think they released any other singles.
so i don't think the comparison really stands.
i think when you get to the level of awesome that GnR/Zep/The Stones did you're kinda beyond comparison. middle weight jobber pop-bands like Journey or Bon Jovi yea ok you can say great singles but when you're talking about GnR the hits & the deep cuts are the same, cause they were so fuckin good.According to wikipedia, the following were singles released by Zeppelin. They did have more than 2, but not many overall. A couple per album on average.
1969 "Good Times Bad Times" US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart (Pop Singles) #80
1970 "Whole Lotta Love" US Billboard Hot 100 #4
1997 "Whole Lotta Love" UK Singles Chart #21
1970 "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" US Billboard Hot 100 #651970 (release)
1971 (peak position) "Immigrant Song" /
"Hey Hey What Can I Do" Billboard Hot 100 Singles #161971 "Black Dog" US Billboard Hot 100 #15
1972 "Rock and Roll" Billboard Hot 100 #471973 "D'yer Mak'er" Billboard Pop Singles (Billboard Hot 100) #20
1973 "Over The Hills And Far Away" Billboard Pop Singles (Billboard Hot 100) #511975 "Trampled Under Foot" Billboard Pop Singles (Billboard Hot 100) #38
1980 "Fool in the Rain" Billboard Hot 100 #21
1982 "Darlene" Billboard Mainstream Rock #4
1982 "Ozone Baby" Billboard Mainstream Rock #14
1982 "Poor Tom" Billboard Mainstream Rock #18
look how many they originally released in the UK. & that's where it counts! 
fuck singles.
fuck ipod random.
give me a double vinyl Exile on Main Street or Physical Graffiti.
give me the 3-cd Chinese Democracy!

The 2002 band was more embarrassing. Not because of the people involved as such, but because of the way certain someone handled himself.
there's been plenty of other even more embarrassing moments.
but this is still one.
This isn't aimed at you, but I can't get my head around that type of thinking.
Talk shows are how things are done. And the thinking for a long, long time has been "Axl's too big for that" about just about everything.
The last 10 - 15 years is what you get when Axl doesn't promote GN'R at all.
there's two things here: yea this is how things are done in the showbiz world & yea, lack of promo hurt the profile of the band.
BUT neither of these things are in any way important to them producing great music or putting on great live shows.
axl has shown the past 10-15years the game doesn't have to be played like this. in fact he's gone out of his way not to do this shit. & suddenly when he does it's on a low-rent production like this? it doesn't add up.
Jimmy Kimmel is a nobody? Axl ain't God and if he wanna go on a fun show, he can do that because he is Axl Rose. That's fucking why. If he wants to do it, then he can do it.
And how many decades have we been complaining Axl doesn't show up to anything again?
May I remind you?
what's your point? if he can do it, why didn't he do it before - or why was he so strongly against doing it before? but suddenly it's ok to do it now? again, it doesn't add up.
he's not God but he should conduct himself like a superstar cause he is.
you don't see jagger going on this kinda crap.
why does he show contempt for the typical showbiz routines on one hand then embrace them with the other? in a way, this kinda example of his contradictions help make him an interesting character. but i also think it was betray some flaws of his character, & especially after all his talk & behaviour & silence over the past 15years.
this smacks of weakness, on a format that is below someone of axl's stature.
imo.
#1996 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl On Kimmel Oct 24th, Live Interview! » 733 weeks ago
why, cause he's axl fucking rose mate. that's fucking why. he shouldn't be hob-knobbing w/nobodies like jimmy kimmel & ana gasteyer.
there was a time when he veto'd press for bigger things than this. but now he's prostituting himself for fortune & shame!
it's EMBARRASSING that what should be one of the biggest bands in the world have shrunk to promoting themselves in such a tawdry manner. it's embarrassing for me - it's another excuse for other people to laugh at axl & GnR. one of my mates, completely outta the blue actually said to me one evening, "so i hear axl has to go on some random chat show cause of poor ticket sales or something?" & i mean, this guy lives in Northern Ireland & has absolutely zero interest in GnR unless it's to mock them. & that's what this is, another excuse to mock them. it's fucking embarrassing.
#1997 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl On Kimmel Oct 24th, Live Interview! » 733 weeks ago
I'm sayin he shouldn't be there at all. That it should be beneath him!
#1998 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl On Kimmel Oct 24th, Live Interview! » 733 weeks ago
Suburgatory? Jesus fucking Christ! Its not even the little red head girl w/the pretty tits! Or even Cheryl Hines.
The whigs? Omg. Why not the afghan Whigs they rule!
How the mighty have fallen..
#1999 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl On Kimmel Oct 24th, Live Interview! » 733 weeks ago
Lol! #1 guest spot!
WHO THE FUCK ARE THOSE OTHER PEOPLE????
Poor Axl, really. It's come to this. Rubbing shoulders w/Z-list celebs & nobodies.
Some shameful shit this here.
