#583 Re: Guns N' Roses » All Original GUNS Members Will Be At ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME » 768 weeks ago

I thought it was confirmed that it was just the original 5 and Matt and Dizzy who played on the Illusions, I think this guy reporting has got muddled.

#584 Re: Guns N' Roses » Old and new songs that should be brought back or added in the shows » 768 weeks ago

I voted Prostitute, but as you can only vote once I'd also like to see TWAT, IRS, ITW, Catcher and Riad be given a whirl from CD, mix it up man! From the classic era You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Mama Kin, Reckless Life, Breakdown, Coma, 14 Years, The Garden, Locomotive to be thrown in sometimes and also Dont Cry to be played properly, again just mix things up now and then.
To be honest I think they have a good mix of new and old in their sets, I just think it would be a lot cooler if they had songs on rotation but keeping the same ratio of new and old.

#585 Re: Guns N' Roses » Roseland Ballroom, NYC 02/10/12 » 768 weeks ago

I think its a pipe dream now. My take on it is Axl has given up on the idea of new music and taking GNR forward, and is winding down his career as a performer.
Looking at the setlists I see it as he's fullfilling his obligation to fans of the new music by playing some of CD, he's doing likewise for fans of the classic era, and all these cover versions are for himself - he's getting his own kicks playing AC/DC, Pink Floyd or whatever.

Fair do's man, I'll defo be checking them out next time they hit the uk whatever they play, I doubt I'll get many more opportunities to see Axl Rose perform live in this lifetime.

Also, I've had a standard Sony turntable for a while now but I just pulled the trigger on a serious upgrade.

I ordered an Audio Technica ATLP240 and a Audio Technica AT120E/T stylus to go with it. Should be here some time this week!!

That looks a good turntable, ideal for home use, you should see a big improvement in quality. You'll probably be able to widen your range when it comes to cartriges and stylus now, theres a big choice out there, not sure how many options you have that are matchable with your sony set up.

I'm still reeling that I sold my 2 mint condition Technics 1210's a couple of years ago when I was broke, then found out they have been taken out of production and are going for a grand a turntable now.
I always thought I could replace them easily enough, even just one for playing lp's, if work picks up in the next couple of months I may be able to get a 1200 model new for £500, thats the classic silver model, there is a few left still going at reasonable prices.

I'm still toying with the idea of getting back into djing, was looking at alternatives and seen this by Stanton, looks pretty badass and has great reviews from turntablists. Stanton were always my number 1 choice of stylus and cartriges, never let me down no matter what punishment I put them through, I think its pretty cool that the company thats was as important to the dj scene as Technics was has stepped up to fill the void, so many tried and failed to knock Technics of their perch over the years.
Anyway, check it out:

Theres been something weird with the drums on this song from 2010 onwards, I thought it was the pyro throwing me off. During the chorus its like they slow down while Axl says the live and let die line, mabye its just me hmm

#588 Re: Guns N' Roses » Better Remix » 768 weeks ago

Seen a few other remixes posted at mygnr earlier, defo worth a look.

Gotten In The Rye:

A brave attempt I think, works pretty well and I liked it, except for the ending which is a bit messy, it would be better without trying to squeeze in those last vocals.

Maddy Tribal:

I like this a lot, fans a Madagascar defo check it out, the song structure is basically the same but its been given a new beat and has a slightly darker n heavier feel.

GNR Grand Torino:

http://vimeo.com/34572200

Already been posted on here, but still very cool, Axl N' Clint FTW.

GNR - No One Ever Told Me:

http://vimeo.com/33818305

Remix of Better, darker and more electronic, not so keen on this but appreciate the effort in trying something different.

As far as I can tell these are all by Evader, good stuff 22

#590 Re: The Sunset Strip » Vinyl LPs (In general) » 768 weeks ago

Aaaah so it comes with an adapter for those big holes, I was wondering about that since a lot of modern turntables dont come with them. Not sure I want to see anymore pics, I hope to get this myself soon 16

What kind of turntable you got?
