seems to me DCK has a case of the Shotgun Blues

maybe i've missed it, tho i have looked, but i can't see where anyone itt said Mysteron was  "a kid"/"full of shit"/"a joke".

from my reading of it, D asked a q, mrID answered it & then DCK came out swinging randomly.

but anyway. on topic:
one day when we're all 6 feet under or elsewhere & the CD sessions boxset finally drops to puff up Beta's great-grandkids' wallets, the world will finally get to hear what Shaq's contributions to the record woulda been...

well can i jst say, i think you guys are close to explaining the magic but not quite there:

the magic thing about Slash & his solo's are that he takes you to the crescendo/climax & then, when you think there's nowhere else to go he somehow dips his shoulder, turns a corner & takes it to a whole other level. i imagine it's like multiple orgasms.

& what's weird is how often he does & yet no other guitarist i know of does. & he seems to do it so brilliantly each time, there's no lack of quality - they're most all always "holy shit/fuck me" jawdropping amazing & laugh-out-loud brilliant, if not soul destroyingly gorgeous.

& nowhere is all this more true that on Nightrain, the greatest solo ever.
& it's here, on the studio version, where ironically enough he actually does run out of places to go & all that they can do to capture the beautiful death of it is to fade out, like the dying embers of the universe.
it's like the story will continue but we just dont have the power to capture or comprehend its awesomeness, but be damn glad you got what you got cause that's the best you'll ever have.

on topic - that anastasia is fucking fantastic.
when i saw him before i was only going to see some GnR songs & hopefully some Snakepit songs. now i WANT him to come back & play the new songs.

i don't think it is. i think that's p accurate actually.

Slash has cut out the BS & has become the consistently masterful guitarist he always threatened to be.
Axl's voice & performances (& output - lol!) have deteriorated quite badly imo.

the proof is in the pudding. even on old songs like Civil War, Slash's power compared to the limp GnR performances tell the tale.

i know a lot of you, like ali, get off on Axl's current form. but to me it's not rock n roll. whereas Slash still retains that raw power & ambition that make a beautiful noise. the noise Axl & his band make isn't pretty anymore.

I cannot recommend the original Django highly enough. One of the wildest, maddest & greatest [spaghetti] westerns ever. it's an amazing film.

it gave birth to the Django 'franchise', obv.

if anyone hasn't seen it but has seen the wire, imagine Omar caught in the middle of a muddy war between Mexicans & the ku klux klan - 'a man's got to have a code' however extreme his environment & fate.

the guy who did the score actually worked on the kill bills.

as for this trailer... it looks ok. but I've found QT's output/career a series of diminishing returns. he's still capable of entertaining me, but I am a little tired & disinterested @ this juncture...

lol defo & see where u come down on this debate

it is flawed & it's not gonna change ur life, but it's worth spending a few quid on.. it's worth the risk - u mite be entertained or at least u can bitch about it, typical film really..
