#291 Re: Guns N' Roses » Greatest Hits Vinyl Reissue » 327 weeks ago
It will sell enough to justify its release. It's not aimed at us.
#292 Re: Guns N' Roses » Greatest Hits Vinyl Reissue » 327 weeks ago
Greatest Hits sold quite well at the time, if I remember.
Let's be honest, it's not that different from any other major artist.
#293 Re: The Garden » Euro 2020 » 327 weeks ago
What happened? Did the tournament get pushed back? I thought soccer in Europe was still being played.
Only club, in empty stadiums.
International football (which should have been happening this month, prior to the olympics) involving countries was delayed to next summer.
#294 Re: The Garden » Euro 2020 » 327 weeks ago
Curious what they're going to do about this.
Will it be empty stadiums? Not like they can push it too next year.
That was too soon.
I'm actually starting to doubt it happens next Summer either.
I think uefa ect. really should have a backup plan and not proceed like this is all going to be over soon.

Whoa, hadn't heard he died yet. Ashame, I always thought his 9/9/9 tax plan wasn't awful, deserved consideration. Maybe not 9/9/9 exactly, but a form of flat tax (looking Amazons way ie. $0)
Supposedly he tested positive a few days after this:

Our government, and our media, have incinerated their credibility. So, is it any wonder that people are skeptical? #Coronavirus https://t.co/2IMVhLGbLn

He's dead btw, however his twitter account (I presume ran by a staff member or a family member) has been spamming anti covid tweets for a while.
#297 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who wrote Oklahoma? » 329 weeks ago
Has anyone actually even heard Oklahoma? And we’ve got a thread asking who wrote it when we haven’t heard it yet...
Only in the land of GN’R...
We heard the instrumental last year. No Axl, but I mean you can tell it's a kick ass guitar driven track.
It's exactly what an updated GNR might have sounded like in 96. Hence the thought that maybe it actually is.
#298 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who wrote Oklahoma? » 329 weeks ago
"[Oklahoma] was inspired by a court date with ex-wife Erin Everly. 'I was sitting in my litigation with my ex-wife, and it was the day after the bombing, [April 20th, 1995]' Rose remembers with a wince. 'We had a break, and I'm sitting with my attorneys with a sort of smile on my face, more like a nervous thing - it was like, 'Forgive me, people, I'm having trouble taking this seriously.' It's just ironic that we're sitting there and this person is spewing all kinds of things and 168 people just got killed. And this person I'm sitting there with, she don't care. Obliterating me is their goal.'" (Axl, Rolling Stone, 2000)
"As the far as the songs go: 'Oklahoma' was pretty much written by the time they got to the studio. Axl wrote that with inspiration from the Oklahoma City bombing (more as a tribute to those who died, if I'm not mistaken). [...] (Dave Dominguez, Sp1at, 02/07/05)
[...] Song after song combines the edgy hard rock force and pop smarts of vintage Guns N Roses with surprisingly modern and ambitious music textures. In addition to the album's almost grungy title track, tentative song titles include 'Catcher in the Rye,' 'I.R.S,' 'The Blues', [...] 'Oklahoma' - heard tonight only as an instrumental, [...] and 'TWAT,' which he says stands for 'there was a time.'" (Rolling Stone, 01/00)
Q:-What's a Riad/Bedouin and can you clarify for the last time if the song is Oklahoma or not?
A: Another one step at a time question! It’s not Oklahoma which later became Berlin and subject to change. (Axl Rose, chinesedemocracy.com, Dec. 2008)
