still boring as fuck mate
nuthin 2 do w/technical prowess. the boss's tunes would rock a lot harder minus the sax leads.
there's loads of icons.
horns, unless used in psychedelic rock, don't make it for me in rnr.
gimme nebraska.
but u knew i'd say that.........

Well, if you were a founder of a huge company, but later you lost control and decided to leave the ship, said nasty things about your ex-partner and even sued him, then you just don't go there with your tiny new company to get a few bucks for a few days, for old time's sake. Even if you once had a drink since then. (Axl's case is different - with Duff opening for him, he can celebrate that 'he is the stronger'.)
This situation is a victory itself for Axl, but I'm sure that Duff has hidden plans. Be it getting publicity, taking a dig at Slash, or trying to build a bridge between the two icons. It's not two old buddies meet again and have a great time, believe me.
well thanks 4 explaining where ur coming from & i concede you MAY have a point (or 2).. BUT - Duff has shares in Microsoft/Starbucks fuck knows what else, at this stage Guns is relatively small fry in his concerns, i'm guessing. i don't see him as being bitter about his ex-partner. hell i've had rows w/mates i used to love like a brother & after a while we pqtched things up & we able to be civil & friends again. obv not on the financial/successful scale as Guns but when there's a genuine bond time can heal..
as to his & axl's motivations again i think you do present interesting theories. BUT, FOR ME i'm prepared to wait & analysis inthe aftermath & take the gesture on face-value & goodwill. maybe that's foolish of me, maybe it's cynical what you've put forth, we'll soon see.....

nvr liked raw power cover
as a matter of principle RP just isn't the stooges for me. if ron isn't on guitar it's simply not the stooges. imo.
for me relegating ron to bass is the single biggest crime in american rnr. worse than anything that mike flowers did or any of GnR's shenanigans.
other than that i fucking love james williams + iggy
sorry just felt i needed to get that off my chest. tho it's hardly the first time, nor last, that i'll say it.
also is there any guarantee Duff'll get back onstage w/Guns??

*sew

GREAT interview, AGAIN!
it is time for two of tommy's worlds to collide. play one of his own songs instead of SR/MG. edit - OMM, title track off new record, played as is on album, would make a PERFECT interlude while Axl is off-stage. THAT is the new dream now Estranged/CW are in the set.
re: 'hitting the shitter' - unfortunately tho history repeats itself. it's almost always been the Guns way that some bad guy fucks it up for everyone.. (yea some of the time axl's been the baddie but a lot of the time it's been outsiders OTGM MFs...)
i told people i thought CD's release was rushed. they thought it was a funny joke. in a way it is of course... roll on the 20th anniversary re-issue/deluxe boxset w/proper artwork...

#2597 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 777 weeks ago
kinda glad they missed out the garden & nyc.
it seemed in prev yrs nyc & london (& paris) got special attn - which is understandable, i just didn't appreciate it, coming from the sticks, & thought it was calculated & took away from the celebrations in the other cities/towns. like they'd only do extra cool shit in the media/press capitals... i prob reading too much into.. but there haven't been any 'secret' 'club' gigs r the like this tour

I found this part from that interview interesting too, for those who say he doesn't want Loaded to be bigger than an opening slot band (in regards to Loaded recording their debut album)
We’re gonna choose the best label and go on tour throughout the world. We want to be a big band.
mate there's degrees to this - if you're opening for a band of GnR's stature chances are you're already an established 'big' band. it's not like they're opening band for Joe & The Jerkoffs @ The Speakeasy. a lot of big bands, bigger than Loaded, have opened for GnR.
hell in 06 Guns were meant to be the support band for The Stones - or what about '89 when they did open 4 them, did that make GnR a bunch of small time charlies?
i really don't think Duff had any intentions r ambition for Loaded to become a 'massive' big band like U2 REM The Stones GnR. theyre successful & can carry their own tour, but would be stupid to turn down a support slot off a bigger band & the exposure that comes w/that.
u can be a successful, big band & still play support slots. the two aren't mutually exclusive.
like i said b4, IF Duff was still in GnR i'd have wanted them to open for Guns.

y'know a lot of people feel different & can believe someone like Duff would open 4 GnR
i HONESTLY do not SEE what the beef is
yea it's a little SAD but it's the way things are so what is the prob these 'other people' have?
