#2021 Re: The Sunset Strip » 2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Inductees Announced) » 735 weeks ago

kraftwerk, NWA, Public Enemy, Deep Purple, The Meters, Paul Butterfield would be my picks. randy newman obv too but after that lot.

another ridiculous indictment of the HoF Kraftwerk & Deep Purple aren't already in.


NWA & PE really should get in first time - but then that has been said about so many great bands so...

this classification of genres like hi[-hop & electronica is bullfuckingshit. it's about attitude. & kraftwerk are a thousand times more rock n roll than MORish american 'rock' like joan jett & heart IMO, not to mention the desperate fury of NWA & PE.

though it is possible that the Kimmel appearance was just scheduled because the shows weren't selling to drum up interest and salvage the shows...

very possible - didn't axl say the only reason he gave an interview the last time (to some newspaper??) was because of promo. (was that in LA too??)
& when i say that, i figure it means the situation must be p dire - cause there's plenty of times in the past they coulda used promo to sell tix but never did, so maybe when things are really bad that's when he has to sell himself...???

#2024 Re: Guns N' Roses » 12 GN'R shows in Las Vegas » 736 weeks ago

prob BS

there's been so fucking many of these rumours thru the yrs followed by "there'll be a statement in a couple of days". such boring crap. some people have far too much time on their hands. (& i should know!)

#2025 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live in London (Airing on Vh1 Classic) » 736 weeks ago

i don't think he's gonna retire but at the same time "going away for a long time" is what he does, & it's kinda overdue - he's been on this touring cycle now for ages, if you wanna stretch it you could go as far back as '01/'02.

having said that, i really don't know. i think it's one of he's gonna try & make/release a new album, continue to tour, or go away, or indeed retire.


his ambition does seem to have wilted. like i've said before, he seems to care more about his business BS than he does his art/music.

Opie's send-off was p neat. Great music pick - I'm one of about a billion new hits to that song on YouTube since yesterday! That was cracker.
Hope the show picks up ahead of stream again now we've got the soppy shit outta the way!

#2027 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live in London (Airing on Vh1 Classic) » 736 weeks ago

this is getting blown out of proportion.

i don't know who or what buzz is ranting & raving @.
firstly he says it's wonderful he's doing the interview then it's a sham...
all i'm saying is, that on here, i haven't seen anyone "celebrating" or losing the run of themselves w/excitement. most people are approaching it quite rationally imo..

#2028 Re: The Sunset Strip » Is Rock dead? » 736 weeks ago

Puddle of Mudd killed it.

I still find it amazing that Beta could describe Axl as "more than a son" to her. How the fuck would anyone's child really feel about that comment if it came from one of their parents...you'd be gutted.

Hey though, the kids aint't gutted at all! Why?  Cause comments like that from Mom helped set everybody up. Cha CHING!

well on that point: there was talk a wee while ago that axl was "more than a son" to her in that they were together.
but i think you're right in that those kinda statements do keep them secure in axl's camp & ensures their access.

obv it's impossible to tell what the situation exactly is, the truth of the matter, but at the same time, we can't be that far off after all we've seen & heard..


anyone ever figure out what Better was meant to mean in relation to Beta?

Not to sound overly optimistic, but it's all good from where I'm sitting.

I find it hugely amusing that after all the castigation of Beta and Team Brazil as "Colonel Tom Parker" types leeching off Axl on the web forums, they've turned out to be the ones who are Getting Things Done. big_smile

yea but the other side of that has been touched upon before.
who was stopping things getting done before? was it them and/or axl? know what i mean?
things might've got done before if they hadn't put up obstacles or weren't a go-between w/axl & previous management. maybe they were guilty of some double talkin jive, y'know?

we'll prob never know. it just seems a bit rich to blame the boatload of managers before them for not getting shit done, or trying to play the reunion card.
there's been too many managers who've been & gone for the managers themselves to be the problem. they can't all have been doing the same shit, can they?

the only constant in that time has been beta & her family. & from a glance, speculating, it would seem they've kinda been playing this game for a long time trying to get that management role (which they had in all but name, really).


what i mean is: are they getting things done now because they helped stop things getting done prior??
