I'm calling it now: Lulu is going to make St. Anger sound like Ride The Lightning.
On a side note...
Cliff Burton must be getting super dizzy from all the rolling over he's been doing in his casket over the last 15-20 years

Its sounds exactly as I feared, a monotone 'poet' riffing over a heavy metal band.
This partnership has all the ingredients for a steaming turd and the snippet they served up is brown, stinks and has corn in it.
I do not expect diamonds and ice cream to follow...
Diamonds And Ice Cream... That's what they should have called the album.

Yeah not at his best there. Though it is very hard to sing those songs when you haven't in so long. I saw Down in April and Phil was on fucking point.
BTW Down is releasing four EPs in the future all four with a different sound, including one acoustic EP.
Phil has been the bulldog of old the last few years... The Anthrax thing was probably unplanned, and he hasn't screamed like that since Superjoint broke up.. And, it's his song... so he's allowed to fuck the lyrics up.
I tend to take Down new release news with a giant GN'R grain of salt. When they're out, I'll rejoice...

reminds me of rebel meets rebel
that makes rebel meets rebel sound like Vulgar Display Of Power. I had a tiny bit of hope that it wasn't gonna be a complete fucking train wreck.
That tiny bit of hope has left the building.

I'm solely speaking about VR here.... yes, he's much more prolific. How long does this whole "We're searching for a singer" shit hold water? I think VR had one purpose: Beating Rose to the punch. And if that's the case... He clearly has no problem doing his thing as a "solo artist"... Why not just break up VR? like... officially. Let it go. It was cool. It's run it's course... But he's not sure... indecision.. inactivity. Letting that band rot in limbo. Hence the comparison.

One thing I think Baz does right is he makes the kind of music his fans want. They liked Skid Row, and Slave to the Grind -
I may be in the minority here, but Subhuman Race was a great record... It's right up there in the "criminally underrated" pack with Motley's self-titled (Corabi) album. Track by Track, listen to that album... He brings a little something different to each song.
Baz is versatile... A hell of a lot moreso than Weiland. People like Slash etc. looked at the pairing of the GN'R guys with Baz on paper, and thought It would be Slave To The Grind meets Appetite... I personally see a different thing there. Sebastian can sing absolutely anything, for fuck's sake.
He was doing musicals for a stretch. I suppose the majority of the mainstream public would have rolled their eyes... Which is most likely why they went in a different direction, but as a true fan of all of the musicians involved, I think it would have been very interesting to see what they could have come up with.
And that goes for Corey Taylor as well... But if Zakk Wylde's playing in 1994 was "a little too heavy" for Slash's taste, my guess is Taylor's guttural roar might have the same effect on his palate.
My gripe with Slash is simple. He's pissed and moaned to anyone that will listen about how Axl had the keys to the car, and his hands on the wheel, and drove the band off a bridge. How his need for control killed something that was, by all accounts unique and special.
Now, with VR... HE has the keys... and his hand on the wheel. And what is he doing? Tarnishing his own band's legacy with indecision and inactivity just as much as (if not, more than) his old singer has his former one.

There's supposed to be 5 contributors to mine but I'm the only one keeping up with it lately. It's pretty hard to sit myself down and write. For a while there it seemed like it only got updated when someone died.
That's where mine's been at for some time. Gotta get in there...

Hey jorge... if you think that was bad, you should have seen poor emotional Phil butcher "Fucking Hostile".... I'll give him a pass... He's Phil. and yes... It's been a fucking decade.
