#451 Re: The Sunset Strip » Kanye West ruins Taylor Swift's MTV VMA victory » 895 weeks ago
I just read that evidently Beyonce won an award later and had Taylor Swift come up and let her finish her speech.
If a normal spectator had done something like this they'd probably see charges of some sort, this douche probably should too.
What ever happened with the "Peacebomb" dude who came up with Dylan a while back? Kanye should get the same thing.

McNabb went down with broken ribs today... the Vick soap opera continues more interesting than expected.

Since it's kickoff weekend, you can't go wrong with a good bowl of chili.
and I'm not from Texas, when I say chili I mean ground meat, not cubed, with beans.

In '06 I wasn't willing to drive 3 hours to see a show.
I don't think that's changed, it might if I found out something special was going on.
I'm with Axlin08 though, It would be different for a reunion show.

Alright first game of the year, but once again it is clear that the overtime system needs a change. Both teams should get a chance with the ball. Simple as that. Looking forward to Sunday and exactly Monday!!
I disagree, I like sudden death and that you have to play just like it's a regular game, not just basically red zone drills.
This game was arguement for my ideal NFL where no scoring is done by kickers. If you want points you have to earn them. You get to keep one guy to kick off and punt. I still haven't decided if it could be the kickers we have now, or if it would have to be an actual football player who just has another job to do now.
#456 Re: Guns N' Roses » Give Tommy Stinson thanks » 895 weeks ago
I think it would be a cool idea, but would it hold the interest of most of the audience with Axl offstage, or would it be a mass exodus to the bathrooms/beerstands?
#457 Re: The Sunset Strip » Recommendations please: Black Label Society » 895 weeks ago
I couldn't recommend Book Of Shadows any higher. That one is just a Zakk album, no band name. It's laid back, just fantastic songwriting. A lot of things are up on youtube, if you wanna get an idea, I'd start poking around there.
I've described Pride And Glory as Skynnrd meets Sabbath, for about 15 years now, if that sounds like something you'd be into it's definitely worth picking up.
Sonic Brew and Stronger Than Death are my two favorite BLS albums, but even the worst ones are pretty good.

Ellen judging singers doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but Paula Abdul judging singers didn't really make a whole lot of sense either.

There isn't much I hate more in life than auto tune right now.

Slash clearly has a bit of an ego on him - God forbid that anyone should attempt to share the limelight with him, even if they're a more talented/technically skilled guitarist. Witness the big spat with Axl over sharing lead duties with Zakk Wylde ("like a giant snake fighting a T-Rex"). Or the Slash and Friends gig, where John 5, for Christ's sake, was stuck on rhythm.
As far as the John 5 thing... It was a Slash gig. I would assume any time Slash wasn't soloing 99% of the audience was saying why the hell is this other dude soloing. That's what I thought when I saw Clapton and his other guitar player was soloing. Not that John 5 isn't good, but he was there for a specific purpose.
I think even Zakk said that it wouldn't have worked with him because it was two lead guys going at it. It would end up sounding like a train wreck a lot of the time. Other times it would be fantastic, but I don't know that it would have worked from a songwriting standpoint.
I have always thought Slash's feelings for Huge/Tobias came from the way it all came about. Axl got rid of Gilby and brought his boy in, and didnt' really seem to give a damn what anyone else(the guys who have to rehearse with him every day) thought.
If you wanted to continue GNR as it was, I don't think you could have come up with a better replacement for Izzy than Gilby. They have very similiar influences and styles. It's obvious that Axl didn't really want to continue GNR as it was though, he had other things in mind.
