brilliant write-up, funny & gross & captures a bit of the variety of crowd gnr pulls in
glad you enjoyed it
it is sweet when you're @ a gnr show & it's a fucking good show
which isn't actually that rare, it's just the spoiled shows get such publicity i guess..

If by "danger" DJ means spitting up in the air and then swallowing it on the way back down, then yes they're totally dangerous.
heh - just like i said, "& really you can see his preppy cliched "showmanship" in any halfway respectable punk band."
dj is bad news
draining out what little left there is of GnR's credibility gig-by-gig inane tweet by asinine fb swag plug. he needs to be dropped from this line-up asap.

I think live shows are always going to be what this band (like most replacement bands) is ultimately going to be known for. They will never have a big hit again, but they can tour literally for years if they choose to do it right off the hits. They may release albums to mild success, but they will ultimately be known as a great cover band and a good time for the passive fan.
i think even that's being optimistic
ok, it's the most stable line-up we've had since '92-'93 but things are near as likely to go pear-shaped w/this touring line-up as are the chances of any small success or progression.
i mean, it's not inconceivable that the next time GnR tour they could have a couple of different players in the band, is all i'm saying.
they won't have another hit, unless it's a freak & shite like i don't wanna miss a thing.
#2765 Re: Guns N' Roses » Could the tide be turning » 784 weeks ago
TIL'd have been a xmas time single, the NEXT yr had CD taken off (& they'd toured the USA first)
TWAT'd only have been 3rd r 4th single prob
that rockers point is largely correct & was touched upon briefly in the myspace stream discussion recently (or, whenever the myspace thing is mentioned) the drop off in listeners having SR as 2nd track. the rockers do alienate people/fans - & understandably so as by&large the rockers aren't good enough.

DJ bashing has jumped the shark.
hardly
first, most obv, the guy's an easy target - he says & acts cheesy as fuck
secondly, most importantly, is what his role in GnR actually is & the standard to which he performs compared to Slash/Finck (& the other old guys). in short he's decent - he's a good guitarist w/o being exceptional or unique, he's energetic & entertains a certain section of the audience (here he offers more than finck/bumble/fortus - but not slash or BH or even izzy, 'cause izzy was The Man). but it's not enough for GnR.
he isn't the visionary or the presence/personality the role demands (ron gets away w/it cause he can play all DJ's parts blindfolded). & really you can see his preppy cliched "showmanship" in any halfway respectable punk band. you don't have to be running & jumping all over the stage & pandering to the audience or throwing cliched guitar moves (is he still doing that cigarette thing?!) to be a great showman. peter green sits down when he plays & he's infinity more spellbinding than dj
that's maybe jumping the shark..
#2767 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses on YouTube » 784 weeks ago
I would take Slash and Richard over Ron and DJ
+1
don't see how anyone could disagree really.
tho i do agree w/axlin & war about axl in this vid.
#2768 Re: Guns N' Roses » Could the tide be turning » 784 weeks ago
Shotgun Blues is great
IRS has good lyrics, but it immediately for those once interested answers some questions as to where axl disappeared to
decent song. poppier & more immediate than most of CD. concise w/o the kitchen sink effect of Better/CD/SOD
clear choice
if only they'd cared.. oh well i think it's better this way tbpfh.

CD for the most part, sounds like generic Nu Metal with really awesome guitar solos
lol
