give Bill Cowher anything he wants to take over as head coach.
Every time I see him on tv it blows my mind that someone somewhere hasn't done that yet.
#262 Re: Guns N' Roses » Alice's take on Axl » 842 weeks ago
^me too.
The fact that Axl chose the carry the GNR name holds him to a higher standard... that, in my opinion, a lot of what he does doesn't live up to.
#263 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eric Clapton Discussion » 842 weeks ago
I saw him live in the late 90's when he was touring with a 20-some piece orchestra.
It was a good show, but it was more a show from Eric Clapton the 90's pop-singer than Eric Clapton the guitar god. I'd love to see him now that he's regressed to a lot more blues.
That said, my tickets were free, and I'd never have paid what they cost.
#264 Re: The Sunset Strip » 11 Artists who turned down Weird Al » 843 weeks ago
Prince had hits and won grammys for 2002's Musicology so the dude needs to STFU
Weird AL is ok... i dont think its too hard making something funny out of an already established song.
I've heard nothing but good things about the album, but did it have "hits"?
I get how Weird Al wouldn't be for everybody, or even most, but that said, I think what he does is hard... At least it's hard to do it well.
Every morning DJ in the world has done song parodies, and most of them suck. It's not a coincidence that Weird Al is almost the only one who does parodies who's name anyone knows and how every song parody on the internet that isn't him, is tagged with his name.
He's had some clunkers too, don't get me wrong, but so have The Stones.
And as Russ said, only around half of every album is parodies, and the originals or style parodies are quite often the best songs.

Thanks man.

I think Weird Al is nothing short of genius and an amazing talent.
^This
As a lloooongg time fan it bothers me the amount of people who think he just does kareoke but changes the words.
He's a great musician/composer on top of having a razor sharp wit. The polka Bohemian Rhapsody alone shows that.
#267 Re: Guns N' Roses » GUNS N' ROSES Belgrade Rider Revealed » 843 weeks ago
My favorite rider of all time is still Van Halen from the 2007 Reunion Tour.
There's a part that reads something to the effect of:
"All performers dressing rooms are to be AS FAR AS POSSIBLE from each other at each and every venue. NO EXCEPTIONS"
Between that and all that goddam redbull, it was awesome.
Ashas been said, this one isn't bad. The only thing it really does is give some creedence to the reports Axl was napping and didn't want to be woke up before one of the shows.

Is that an olive with devil horns on that second guitar?
If it comes off like it is, I'm not making a joke. I'm legitimately asking.

Speaking of wrestlers and pills...
Former WWF Tag Team champion (and father of current WWE Diva Natalya) Jim Neidhart was arrested earlier today, charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, one count of burglary of an occupied dwelling and one count of grand theft.
Neidhart, 58, was arrested this morning in Thonotosassa, Florida after deputies were alerted to Neidhart being loud and yelling as he attempted to open a pill bottle while pumping gas at a gas station parking lot located at 3100 Flethcher Avenue.
Neidhart was argumentative with the authorities, leading to them patting him down and finding 28 methodone tablets and 95 oxycotin pills. Several pill bottles in Neidhart's possession were belonging to neighbors who had recently reported them stolen.
Neidhart, who was listed as a self employed entertainer on his arrest record, is currently being held without bond pending his first appearance before a judge. Due to the Labor Day holiday, he will likely not be seen before Tuesday.
The arrest has already been picked up by the local FOX affiliate in Tampa. The affiliate is reporting that some of the victims knew Neidhart but had not given him permission to take their prescription medication.

I don't get why they allow people that have floor/GA tickets bring drinks down to floor. Whenever I go to a concert, drinks are prohibited from the floor area for this exact reason.
Throwing things is stupid, but if I pay $9 for a beer I should be able to take it wherever the hell I want.
