#421 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Official "Star Trek" Thread » 695 weeks ago
Sorry for bumping this thread, I know I'm repeat offender. ...But just seen Khan first time in years.
Absolutely love it, not in nostalgic way for rest series. I just really think it's one of best sci-fi films of all time. There's several great scenes, music and acting. Shatner in this film, isn't even playing himself, he's actually acting in this one.
Yeah, sure Spock was back by end next film. Maybe it was cheap, but it is a fantastic death scene. Khan's pretty good too.
As for my list in first post, it'd be slightly different now, but nothing touches Khan.
Been re-watching the star trek films of later, forcing my girlfriend to sit through them. Watched Wrath of Khan the other night.... What an excellent excellent movie. In my opinion yeah Spock was back at the end of the next film, but, when you put it in context, and imagine watching that for the first time in the cinema the day it came out. It must have been fucking amazing. The fact they brought Spock back is the fault of the film that followed. But Khan was very very good.

I don't think there's anything sinister here, it's just Backplane having a soft launch. They're not uncommon as the early audience help iron out any bugs as well as getting that initial userbase in place so that the site doesn't look dead/empty when they hard launch.
Saying that I didn't sign up for the official community at GNR.com so I can see why others are feeling pissed off by it
Why do they feel they need it do you think? Couldn't they just expand the pay site with this as a section?

#425 Re: Guns N' Roses » www.paradisecity.com » 695 weeks ago
I was having at think about the basic psychology at play here with GNR's move to as you said Russ, charge the fans to join a site a year ago and now have them beg to join the new one.
It looks to me like they want control of the GNR online community.
They're creating these very fancy looking high end sites that people need to pay for or be invited to. They're trying to create an almost "elite community" one that they have control over. It's the same mentality with night clubs that only let in hot girls and buff guys. It's a form of "social engineering" where GNR are trying to manipulate the online community to put themselves in a power position
Why would they want control?
Because the GNR online community was a deciding factor in the release of CD. The leaks came out, the community (who are GNR's most dedicated fans) swapped and shared them far and wide and that put the pressure on GNR to get the album out. Depending on the sources you read, it also proved to Walmart that there was interest in the album and got that deal signed.
Truth is if www.gunsnroses.com went down in the morning it wouldn't matter a damn, no one would care, gnr would carry on.
If the main hubs of the community went down however, it would be game over. We are the ones who maintain the gnr online presence. We've all been doing it for free for years.
think back to the time Axl started showing up for chats, the mainstream media exploded. HE posts twitter updates and no one really gives a shit.
The gnr fan community hold all the cards, and if GNR could control us then they'd control the leaks, they'd control public opinion, the lot.
Phew rant over.
I don't think this will be their last attempt to create an elite "Gnr Community HQ" to be honest. The online community is worth too much to them, and now that there's no hype, no one talking about the Myth of CD, just a load of bitching and some concert reviews, it is a good time for them to move towards controlling the community and manipulating some positive press (or attempting to damage control these supposed 10 new leaks).
....okay.. this time the rant is really over.

#428 Re: GN'R Downloads » Better Gone » 695 weeks ago
The brazilian guy is called Silvano Teixeira, and on his "Brazilian Democracy" EP, the songs from Chinese Democracy were Street Of Dreams (called The Blues there) and Madagascar. No Better.
And no, it doesn't sound amatuer at all. Random guys with some even if good skills on sound forge and audacity wouldn't be able to do it with the multitracks not even in a thousand years. It sounds professional, because it is professional.
I had the album it came out long long before CD. In fact "Street of Dreams" was tracklisted as "The Blues" and till and buckets intro bends I don't find this to be random or amateur either.

While we're on the topic, anyone ever sen this?
#430 Re: The Sunset Strip » Def Leppard » 695 weeks ago
Jesus. I got the hysteria remasters and they are amazing. If you love your ears like I love mine consider getting them the 2006 remaster of Hsyteria or the remaster of adrenalise either, I got both.
I can see now why people make such a big deal about the production and mix on Hysteria. It's got such a huge level of complexity that interweaves perfectly to create cohesive parts and the album still has a huge spacious feel to it. It's nothing short of miraculous that that kind of work was done in 1987 (and by Mutt Lange no less). It blows my mind.
I can't help but wonder what Chinese Democracy could have been with Mutt producing. Of course he is supposedly a very dominant figure so that would not wash well with Axl.
If you're a Leppard fan give this mix of "Excitable" a listen. It's not as good quality as on the album but it's still quite good. Unbelieveable. Then after if that floats your boat try the nuclear mix of Armageddon it.

How Leppard did this in 87 over the course of 3 years and a life-times worth of tragedy is beyond me. How Ax couldnt do it with 14 years with modern digital technology is even more mysterious.
