They won't need to catch Osama. Word is he's practically on his death bed in bad health. Someone else is running al Quaeda at this point.

I agree Cornell's best bet is a Soundgarden reunion. That said, I also think his 007 theme trumped the entire Audioslave catalogue.
That's a pretty bold statement. I loved the Bond song, but he had some pretty damn good ones on that first Audioslave album, especially "Like A Stone" and "I Am The Highway."

It's interesting how the Israelis view Obama. He receives much support
both from Jewish liberals and arguably the right-wing AIPAC, but his
middle name bothers Israelis a lot. Also, there are doubts whether he is
really a Muslim apostate. Here is an article which analyzes Obama's
similarity to early Zionists:

I think that article you just posted is a load of bullshit.

Yeah I wouldn't exactly be proud to have influenced the likes of the Goo Goo Dolls, who in turn influenced the crap that's so popular today (Fallout Boy, etc.). But this kind of thing happens a lot in music history. Led Zeppelin was probably the biggest influence on hair metal, which is one of the worst genres ever.

Not impressed. The vocals and guitar work suck. Tommy is pretty good though.

Tommys a rocker through and through. He was out touring whilst Axl was still in school not getting pussy
It may not make him a "rock star" but he's paid his dues and the lack of respect he gets shown by GNR fans is disgusting.
The Mats were never commercially successful. Partly because the more the fans egged them on the more they purposely fucked it up for themselves. Given the choice between any GNR record (incl. Chi Dem) or an old Mats album I know I'd pick Mats any day of the week.
Just my $0.02 of course
So if you were shipped off to an island and told you could only choose one album to own and it would be a choice between those 2 artists, you'd say "no thanks" to Appetite? Wow.

just another two ignorant guys who haven't even listened to the entire Replacements catalog....too funny. Fuck Gnr, fuck this board......fuck it.

Heh. I think we all know who the most badass hard rock singer there is out there. It's right under their noses. Time to put the egos aside before it's too late.
Very true. They can make another so-so record, they can all do side projects or solo albums, or they can truly go back to their roots and make a really kickass rock record.
I think the best choice is obvious.
There's two choices in my mind. The first one is the obvious one and it's the best one because it's been proven to go very well with Slash and Duff's sound. The second choice would be Cornell, who is just a fucking amazing singer.
#3899 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List » 940 weeks ago
and all of those styles still didn't make them a better band than The Replacemnts. Yeah, I said it. Duff can't hold Tommy's jock.
You can say it all day long. Doesn't make it anything other than an opinion. Axl, Slash, and Izzy kick the shit out of anything in the Replacements. That's my opinion and I'll gladly stick with it all day long. I'll also stick with my opinion that Duff's contributions on AFD alone make him better in my book than Tommy.

GN'R had three and an EP. The Replacements had zero. It's all opinions, man. True, record sales may not mean shit, but we're on a Guns board. You're gonna be hard pressed to find other Gunners who'll side with the former band of a nuGN'R member over the merits of Duff. That's a fact you'll just have to accept. Duff could rest on the laurels of AFD alone and blow the Replacements entire discography into irrelevance. Again, my opinion. I appreciate that you and others are a fan of Mr. Stinson's, but he is neither as culturally or musically significant as Duff or a "rock star." He's a hired gun whose basslines are all but indecipherable amongst the wall of sound we've heard in the new leaked material.
The opening to "It's So Easy" alone puts Duff above Tommy in my book, never mind all the other great GN'R songs. Duff's punk style really played a huge part in the fact that GN'R was not like the other L.A. bands. Yes, Axl sounded different. Yes, Slash and Izzy sounded different. But they also had that Sex Pistols punk vibe that didn't exist in the other L.A. bands. All of those elements combined to make GN'R a special band instead of just another L.A. hair metal band.
