#2311 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses Requst 20 Models For Front Row Of Glasgow Concert » 754 weeks ago

u should be happy axl's incorrigibility remains shocking. It's about the only tool he has left to get noticed.. Except for banging' lana del rey & this crap about the models..*

people react to it because it is even more disrespectful now. just because things don't change doesn't make them correct, or that people shouldn't voice dissent. He's doing an asshole thing & people are calling him on it. The only way to stop it is to stop being an asshole.


*edit - actually he also still gets noticed cause of the old band as well, can't believe I forgot his rnrhof shenanigans...

Edit2: also if he offered us something fresh & new maybe people wouldn't complain so much... that'll be just after hell freezes over tho..

I honestly don't get what is shocking about the start time.  I saw a ticket for a Chicago show that said the show time is 9 p.m.  In LA, at the Forum, the start time was advertised as 9 p.m. and that is when Steel Panther went on.  GN'R was known to be coming on between 10:30 and 11 p.m. and that is what happened.  These start times seem in Europe seem to be more consistent with that.  I think everyone from the ticket-buyers to the crew to the venue staff should be made aware of the fact that this is the time frame in which GN'R goes on so planning and decision-making can be made accordingly.

Mate u r completely missin the point in a funny fashion: it's much easier for the 1 guy to behave like the rest of us than the thousands of punters & crew workers to get on 'axl time'.
If u genuinely don't get the shocking (& tbh, dangerous) inconvenience of going on so late then I dunno... I for one can't be arsed to go thru the plethora of reasons why these late shows fuck over people who simply want to love the music. But hey, there's nobody as important as axl & public transport authorities & babysitters & your boss need to fuckin realise this then maybe people will stop having a prob...

#2313 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses Requst 20 Models For Front Row Of Glasgow Concert » 754 weeks ago

well what has he got to lose by explaining that, if that is the cause, MC?

people would be more than willing to forgive him if it really was beyond his control.

if it's really that devastating for his own interests i don't think he would be doing it in the first place. or is this the solution he has come to/accepted?
my point is, it's not so bad for his own interests that he's explained himself or tried to fix it. he hasn't.

i can't believe he's coming out the other side saying "fuck i wish i coulda gotten here two hours earlier so i coulda got to bed before 1am"
& the fact is, a lot of the time he is actually at the venue but still doesn't appear for up to 2hrs after the last support band.
it's all just part of the act. the asshat act.

One thing is not liking Myles, other is saying the whole post-GN'R Slash catalogue sucks (because of the singers or Slash's playing). I agree that Myles' nasal singin' is BAD. Maybe it does hurt the enjoyement for some. But last time i checked you were the music guy, who only cares about the instruments wink

i don't know what your point is meant to be here, but whatever the intention it appears a like smarmy & dumb.
you seem not to consider vocals as an instrument?! which is frankly astonishing.
when you consider putting vocals on something takes up like 50% of the sound, it's actually a p fuckin important tool for the music & if people can't get behind that then there's little hope for them or the music to get thru.


i think slash fucking kills on this album, & performance-wise has been kicking every other GnR members ass for the past 5yrs.
BUT there is an issue betweem him & top tier singers/other creative forces. the facts are undeniable. & until Slash is able to work w/that quality again he won't make an album as great as what he did in GnR.
(& don't make this to be me pro-axl, cause the same thing applies to him - he hasn't replaced Slash & Slash hasn't replaced him. what we're getting these days is simply flashes of what could be but ultimately is a failure in comparison.)

#2315 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 754 weeks ago

Great ep this week

Not quite enough to make up for damp fart of a season but enough to keep me watching, for now. I was ready to throw in the towel w/this show but that was excellent & as much fun as season1. Loads a great quotes, some great action but also some cheesy cheap-ass shit & terrible acting made it a perfect GoT ep. There's brave men at our gate... Let's go kill them!

#2316 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 754 weeks ago

Re: avengers, I also didn't have a clue what was happening @ the start. I hated the whole thing. Superhero/comic book films just aren't for me. I'll prob not even go see the new batman now. @ yea it's easily the best hulk film but even still so fuck..

only way I'd go see MiB3 os if someone held a gun to my head.
roll on prometheus.

It has nothing to do with psyching himself up or getting in the right frame of mind. That's all bullshit. If this was the case he'd have taken steps years ago to learn how to prepare so that he's in the right frame of mind at a respectable time. The fact is he fucks around doing whatever he pleases and he comes on late cause he can. He surrounds himself with YES men including his bandmates who will never tell him to gte his fucking ass on stage. He does not give two shits about the fans and how long they gotta wait. Basically he's a diva to the most extreme levels. Nothing more, nothing less.  And to be honest I wouldnt' even doubt it if he does it on purpose with the intention of keeping his reputation as the guy who come son late. Makes him feel like a badass. It's oh so rock n roll yet it's all so fabricated and fake. Hell an episode of SNL is less scripted than Axl these days.

honestly it baffles me as to how anyone in 2012 can actually justify this antic of coming on so late , even in the slightest. It's just pure disresepct and unprofessionalism on Axl's part. End of story.

exactly.
if it takes him so fucking long to get "psyched up" then why can he not start his preparations a few hours earlier?

if you keep proffering the same answers & excuses to the problem over 20yrs without actually solving the issue then you're a moron, or a liar.

this right here is the nail on the fucking head re: start times & p much anything: "The fact is he fucks around doing whatever he pleases and he comes on late cause he can. He surrounds himself with YES men including his bandmates who will never tell him to gte his fucking ass on stage. He does not give two shits about the fans and how long they gotta wait."

& i find it fucking sad how predictable & cliched things have become. it's not what i was promised when i signed up.


HAVING SAID THAT i don't believe one iota of what classicfuckingrock magazine ever says. however, they too have a rare moment of accuracy when they say he has contempt for GnR fans. he's a fucking asshole who doesn't care about us anymore. if he ever did, which he prob didn't. we were just there to make him fat & famous.


p.s. it's still p obv The Blues is about Slash. but it's really about Axl & his bitterness. & that bullshit can infect whatever fans are left. me tho, what i thought was true before were lies i couldn't see. the payoff isn't worth the effort anymore, or any effort for that matter. if he doesn't care, why should i? like aphex twin said, i care because you do. or like dylan said, i used to care but things have changed....
anyway, what was my point? oh the late starts... man, i'll tell you what:

look @ this fucking thread or the Slash/Piers Cunting Morgan thread & fuck me if it's not the exact same debates that have been going on for DECADES.
& all because the man w/no plan hasn't been able to move on or change the story. & why hasn't he? cause he hasn't got the motivation or the courage, or the inspiration. & why doesn't he have these things? cause he stopped fucking caring.

#2318 Re: The Sunset Strip » Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees Dead at 62 » 755 weeks ago

yea i love that song too russ but by far my fave bee gees song, & one of my all time fave songs ever, is I Started a Joke.

it's one of those rare songs that i rem everything about the first time it found me. i was just obsessed w/it the whole evening tho i could only rem a snippet of it eventually. when i next got home i immediately set about researching it only to find to my surprise it was those fking creepy disco guys who sang it! i got it & just listened to it on repeat for like the next 3 weeks. it's like one of those songs you hear & you think, "shit that's what they should play @ my funeral.. if anyone shows up". it's just perfect. it's just one of those songs that is all but deathly sad but hilarious for it's matter-of-fact acceptance of the absurd. it's a song that just gets it.

& most of the songs power is derived by the delivery & voice of robin. it is absolutely one of the greatest songs i've ever heard sung.
up there w/waylon & dreaming my dreams etc.

#2319 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 755 weeks ago

this season has been terrible

absolutely nothing interesting has happened. it's been all strung out til the end w/incremental developments. a real disappointment after being primed perfectly last yr for a season of epic war.
instead what have we had? diddley fucking dick.
& even the quota of tits has dried up lately.

last yr there were kids getting pushed outta windows, incest, the killing/death of the king, 'the others', dragons & sean bean.
this yr?! fucking shite.
