I *kind* of liked the antiquiet leak, then they buried Tommy’s bass in the album cut. Still a meh song to me but get it would have meant more in 01.
#592 Re: The Sunset Strip » Who should've been bigger? » 327 weeks ago
Liz Phair - I like the idea of Liz getting huge in that 93-95 timeframe...but I don't think it was possible. She didn't really know what she was doing, making it up as she went along, and then lost the plot completely after 1995.
Lindsey Buckingham - Obviously a huge success with Fleetwood Mac. He really wanted a successful solo career. He deserved it. His mistake....and he admitted this years later...was focusing too much on Fleetwood Mac when he should've kept that material himself. Hell...the last Fleetwood Mac album from that lineup, Tango in the Night, started out as a solo album. He brought in some of the band to contribute, Mick convinces him to do Fleetwood Mac, he immediately regretted it but by then it was too late.
Easily the most underrated guitarist and songwriter. He could never separate himself from the pack.
Sinead O'Connor - It's her own fault. Don't rip up the picture of the Pope, her career goes on a completely different path.
Til Tuesday - In hindsight it's hard to believe they were practically a one hit wonder and were only a band four years.
Blondie - Yeah they were big. Should've been even bigger. I'm not sure what they could've done...hire outside songwriters, change the lineup...do something. She was incredible... should've been at Madonna's level. The late 90s comeback, which was amazing, was ten years too late.
Veruca Salt - Not sure what happened here. Got lost in the 90s shuffle.
Tiny Masters of Today - In 2010 David Bowie raved on them in an interview. I downloaded the album. I had it in heavy rotation for awhile. Nothing groundbreaking...just kids playing short pop/punk songs...but they were good. Looked them up and I can't believe they never recorded anything else. A shame. They definitely needed a name change.
I am a HUGE Veruca Salt fan. Could have been bigger but got lost in the shuffle. If they stuck with the poppier Nina Gordon style, probably could have had a bigger impact, but I love that Louise wanted to rock it up. Shutterbug is thunderous. Their reunion album last decade was pretty good.

I know. I guess my point is there are 3 versions of that song officially released...you want a fourth? Drums up, flutes down?
#594 Re: Guns N' Roses » Greatest Hits Vinyl Reissue » 327 weeks ago
One thing I'm not interested in is more covers from UYI. YCBM would be interesting, wouldn't that just include Adler tho? Was it ever ready to go for AFD, or just a song/demo.
Would love to hear a rough cut of alot of UYI, just songs not completely overdone. An alternate November Rain would be great, could maybe even be a hit song again.
Locked N’ Loaded has November Rain just the way you like it.
#595 Re: Guns N' Roses » Greatest Hits Vinyl Reissue » 327 weeks ago
Pathetic. Repackaged Greatest Hits as an LP, that they didn’t even want released when it first came out. Now here they are pushing it again...
Nothing but a bunch of cash grabbin greedy ass cunts.
But see, that’s my point. How much money could they realistically be making on this? It is microscopic compared to the worst attended NITL show so why even bother? I don’t think you can call it a cash grab. It’s a troll.
#596 Re: Guns N' Roses » Greatest Hits Vinyl Reissue » 327 weeks ago
Yikes.
Axl, Slash, and Duff were against the release of GH. They asked fans to boycott it's release.
I did.
I still haven't bought it...not even when it was on sale for like 5 bucks years ago.
NOW they want me to buy it?
I don't have anything against vinyl releases...the more the merrier....it's just funny that they're gonna issue vinyl for an album fans were supposed to ignore.....
And they add Shadow.
It also reeks of laziness.
How about a new GH/Best of? It's 3 years overdue.
It's another great example of mismanagement.
There is 0 money they are making on this. Why do it? Is this an obligation to the label? Were they supposed to release a new album September of this year?

And porn videos! You can’t make it up...
It actually sounds so absurd I think it may indeed be made up/exaggerated.

Going to be interesting to hear. I know that things have been ugly between the band and Vicky since his death.
Would love James’ thoughts on the situation.
#600 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who wrote Oklahoma? » 329 weeks ago
Axl claims he wrote it after the OKC bombing. Probably a Loder or Rolling Stone article.
