Cult had that one hit from the "Gone in 60 seconds", that was late 90's maybe early 2000's.
"Painted On My Heart" was a great song, especially since it played while Angelina Jolie was in the classic car sitting with her crotch in the stick shift.

Well the weather sucks. Hopefully it doesn't ruin the show.
#333 Re: Guns N' Roses » For the tour - Rules SG would have in place » 544 weeks ago
Slash and Duff should go to Axl and propose bringing in Matt to replace Frank under strict instructions that he isn't allowed to talk any more shit. Come in and play the drums like he did in UYI Tour and get the groove going with Duff/Slash. No bullshit altercations with Axl.

The fans look like they are ready to kick ass. I'm kinda thinking this should have been the first reunion show. Seems it is gonna blow the doors off every other show so far in terms of crowd energy.

Are The Cult even known in Mexico? They're barely known here with this generation.
I don't think it matters. This is all about Guns. They are selling out stadiums in the States without an opener even announced yet. I am hoping the Mexico City crowd is electric.

What's funny is a lot of the people bashing him give a total pass to other singers, which is bullshit. I've been plenty critical of Axl's vocals over the years, but it's also fair to say he still has some great moments and it's also fair to say that he has millions of haters who bury their head in the sand.

Alot of unpleasant reviews with digs taken at Axl from the usual crowds.
Guns N' Roses' Coachella Headlining Set Went Exactly as Expected
That is to say not well.You didn't go to Coachella this weekend, because you prefer to save your time and money and watch the whole damn thing online anyway. So, good job, you smart person, who is not currently coming down from a bad trip or waking up in the middle of a field in California. You missed a newly-reunited Guns N' Roses give its big headlining performance. And it went just as poorly as expected!
Take a look at the above video. Axl Rose broke his foot recently and has been confined to a Dave Grohl-esque rock n' roll throne for live performances. So he's kind of just sitting there, wiggling around, kind of bouncing. It's awkward as hell. It's like watching someone's dad singing along to the classic rock radio station in the car. Axl's voice has been noticeably struggling in recent years, and he did his best last night, but it only makes things worse that he's sitting down and can't exactly project as he could standing. It's hard to watch, and it almost makes you wish he would have just had one of his classic Axl Rose stage meltdowns. But this Axl Rose today doesn't have any of that rockstar fire. No, the band started on time. He apologized from the stage about his foot: "Sorry, I can't do my thang." The Axl Rose your parents remember would have probably performed anyway and broken his other foot, or refused to play at all. Or played half a set, said fuck it, and ended the show early. He sure as hell wouldn't have apologized. How many millions did Guns N' Roses make for this show? How much more will they make in the subsequent tour? And this is what we get? Is this how we're supposed to remember Guns N' Roses now? This is sad.
In true Coachella fashion, the weekend also brought a few surprise appearances: AC/DC's guitarist Angus Young showed up to put some life in Guns N' Roses's set. Kanye West had a microphone malfunction during his surprise song with A$AP Rocky. Rihanna joined Calvin Harris on stage. And probably the best surprise appearance of the weekend, was Bernie Sanders' video introduction of Run the Jewels. Somehow, a 74-year-old senator from Vermont made for the most badass moment of a music festival.

Coachella day two: Guns N’ Roses show appetite for destruction of own legacy
Much-hyped reunion show presented a band trying to rediscover the quality that gave them appeal in the first place, while Run the Jewels had much more funhttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/a … desert-sun
Here's another hack job;

We've already discussed the DailyBeast one.
So let me get this straight. The Rolling Stones were once a dangerous rock band and have been corporate sellouts for decades. Media gives them a total pass even when the two main guys can barely perform their duties (Is Mick talking through the song still considered actual singing? Is Keith's guitar even plugged in?). I guess Guns just isn't old enough to receive that kind of a pass. But Axl sort of made this bed with all of the negative publicity through the decades. Fucker can't catch a break. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. They rip him to shreds no matter what he does. Oh well, he is laughing all the way to the bank regardless of what the media pundits have to say about it.

Vivian Campbell was amazing.
No doubt. That Holy Diver album was incredible. Great guitar work and legendary vocals.
#339 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » A.X.L. » 545 weeks ago
It really does drive home the fact that GN'R was always – as far as Axl has been concerned – a revolving-door outfit, a big happy family of collaborators who came together to write and record and then moved on. Then AFD happened, and the line-up ended up being locked down – which was never what he'd wanted or intended.
I think he wanted to succeed. I think all 5 of them bonded during Duff's Hell Tour and living in the rented storage unit, writing songs together about their shitty lifestyle, etc. But their lifestyles changed drastically with the Appetite nuclear bomb and Axl's musical taste changed significantly while the others still just wanted to do some good old fashioned rock and roll. Throw in way too many drugs and booze...tensions just got out of hand.

Fuck Brian is a class act. Love that guy.
Yep. Feel bad for him. Hearing is a precious gift for all of us. Sucks to have that kind of damage.
