#5081 Re: The Garden » Shoes Thrown At Bush » 873 weeks ago
Yeah, funny thing is most Americans and the rest of the world didn't even notice.
That's how much we care. Not trying to be an asshole, but the only ones keeping score of their "insults" are them.
Did anyone notice that Iraqi Prime Minster (guessing?) next to Bush, tried to slap the second one out of the way?
What is the implication here...that no one cares how the common Iraqi people think because the big bad western world has the biggest balls of them all?

Wow...I really respect Gene's business talent...but not his musical talent...
"I wanna rock and roll all night...and party every day"...I think they say that about 27 times in that song

#5085 Re: Guns N' Roses » Interesting read on Chinese Democracy (from their myspace) » 875 weeks ago
It depends on how you define success. I think it's a success because I like the entire album. Now is it a financial and commercial success? Not yet. A good point was brought up that AFD didn't fly off the shelves that first week either. There is still time for it to be accepted by the masses. You can call me a fool or naive, but good music and good art will be appreciated over the test of time. The album hasn't even been out two weeks yet and a lot of the Henny Pennies are claiming the sky is falling. Now the album hasn't won the lotto, but it's not at rock bottom either. Let's give this thing four more weeks and see what we know by then.
I can accept that, I really can. At least your not just telling me I'm and unhappy, miserable person.
And to be honest...I go back and forth on whether or not I wanted Axl out there whoring himself out the mass media by doing Gene Simmions-esque things.
I am grateful for these past couple of weeks.
#5086 Re: Guns N' Roses » What did you expect? » 875 weeks ago
I whole heartidly agree with the above statement. I did expect something to change. I don't know that I had a clear idea of what it was that I wanted to changed...but I thought I would see something...ANYTHING!
Believe me, it's not that I don't appreciate the album...I do! I just feel as though part of this experience has been ruined because as some people put it..."Axl doesn't owe us anything."
I truly do not understand what that means. I cannot honestly fathom your logic, here. I guess nobody really owes you anything. Your parents don't really owe you a proper upbringing, the government doesn't owe you a bailout, your friend doesn't owe you any of that money back that you lent him.
I guess when it comes right down to it...no one owes anyone anything.
I didn't fucking follow this band for 10+ years (mind you 5 years after they imploded the first time) to "get told to go home" as Axl himself once put it when he went to England.
Axl can ignore his fans all he wants, and take them for granted all he wants...because we obviously keep coming back. The reason I've stuck around for so long is because there was a time when even when he disrespected the fans, he still came through in some way.
It's been a long time since he's really come through in that way. In 2002, he just packed up and went home without any explination...in 2006 he toured again promising the album (cancelling the show in Milwaukee I was to attend)...and now in 2008 with the release of the actual album, it appears that I will be robbed of my retribution for a third time.
Like I said, I am thankful for the album...I truly am...but...well...
I guess Axl doesn't owe me (or you) anything...I guess I can take solice in that?!
FUCK!

I never imagined that just a little over a week after Chinese Democracy is released...this is where we'd be.
Album sales are below average...
people are talking about an original Gn'R reunion...
people are shitting on the album just for the sake of shitting on it...
even less people care than I thought would care...
we don't even know who is in the band/if there even is a band...
there is no tour in sight...
Axl is dead for all we know!
What the fuck is going on? 
Is anyone else feeling a little underwhelmed?
#5088 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy UNDER 300,000 copies sold first week? » 876 weeks ago
I understand Axl keeping his mouth shut let's him lead those not in the know to believing this is all original Gn'R...but I think this really hurts in the long run...
How can you release an album and be just as hidden as you ever were...It's as though no band exists right now...an album has been released with no band supporting it.
#5089 Re: Guns N' Roses » Gene Simmons lashes out at Axl Rose » 876 weeks ago
What prompted this? Does he think that GNR is some threat in some way to say such things to concert promoters, venue officials and so on.
I'll tell you what prompted it...Gene's gigantic ego has been hurt by the fact that Axl has done nothing in 15 years and is going to sell more records than his last album did.
Any time any attention could be taken away from these guys...they will say something that puts them right back in front of our faces.
If you were about to tour in the US and had to compete with GN'R in the coming months, wouldn't you feel a little pressure?

Texans enjoy nothing more than a daily execution...
I think there will be only two on thanksgiving, this year...
