#611 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Album that Never Was » 923 weeks ago
dont get me wrong, i like izzy's stuff, but its obvious that the rest of the band put their stamp on it all to make each song a gnr tune, instead of just an izzy one...for instance tijuana jail, monkey chow and cure me or kill me bear strong resemblance to afd style gnr tracks, but other Gilby material is alot different than gnr material...for this reason i think that Gilby would have made a comparable replacement to Izzy if they ever woulda utilized him as a song writer to try and fill the void left by Izzy...off course this is all well wishing and theories but its one of the things i wish i coulda witnessed most in the history of GnR ... to see where the band could have gone after TSI ..gilby is a bit more on the heavier side than izzy was but ther chemistry was there i think with duff, slash and matt
I'm a big fan of Gilby's songwriting, but to be fair, the three songs you mentioned with the more GNR vibe all have Slash playing lead on them(and I think maybe Matt too, but I'm not sure about that for all of them).
**Once I re-read the part I quoted I think that's what you were saying...
I do agree with your point though, it'd be cool to see what could have come out of those guys staying together and getting to work.
I want Izzy and Gilby to collaborate on something... It'd sound like Exile on Main Street.

I've said this same thing for years. Even with how good some of these songs are, imagine how much better they could have been with the input of the other GNR member who weren't around.

There's also a flash forward 20 years later... David after The Divorce.

Dollhouse's ratings were expected by Fox to be weak, and they've actually exceeded their expectations, but not to a degree to really warrant a 2nd Season. It's also considered destined for freshman cancellation.
Joss Whedon nutswingers are swearing up and down that Fox is not giving the show a good lead-in, with the terribly rated T:TSCC, and that ratings would improve if they were to possibly move or go ahead and cancel T:TSCC, and put maybe House re-runs on Friday nights as a lead-in for Dollhouse.
But those in the know don't believe Fox feels Dollhouse is a "grower", and that most likely both T:TSCC & Dollhouse are pretty much as good as dead.
I watched Dollhouse on Hulu this weekend, and it seems pretty good, so that's too bad. (although all that really says is I'm just one more person not watching it while it's on.)
Next question is, how many more cancelled shows does Eliza Dushku need before doing Playboy?
And Von, 100% agree about what Heroes is doing at the moment.

Yep, and having seen that show at 15 has ruined me from ever being overly impressed with a concert lineup for the rest of my life. $35 for lower bowl too. Damn I miss the 90's sometimes.
I was 19. Metallica was un-freaking-believable that night. Blew GNR away, in my eyes. Lots of people left after Metallica. I remember that. My buddy who I went with fell asleep toward the end of GNR.
I hate to turn a thread into just a conversation between us but
That show turned me into a Metallica fan, I went to see FNM and GNR, but left wanting to learn more about Metallica.
I remember the people leaving during GNR, and at the time thinking it was dumb, but now as an adult I would be pissed if a show didn't end until after 2AM and I have to get up for work. Going back to the hotel as a kid it was awesome.
More on topic, I'm curious what FNM's stage show will be like at this point in thier old age. Patton was climbing the stage and pulling chairs out of the audience then. Any live performances I saw of Peeping Tom, he was basically standing there singing with a hair net on.

Yep, Saw it in Indi. Awesome. I'm still pissed that I never got to see a full FNM headlining set though. So hopefully this whole thing stays together long enough to get to the States.

I don't know, but with the exception of Smaller and Smaller possibly A Small Victory, it's one of the best albums I own imo.
Wow, I Love Small Victory. It also had a video with a lot of production value for a FNM video, sorta surprises me that it was never a hit..
I still think it would be hilarious if there was a big swerve and Patton wasn't involved and Chuck Mosley was singing. That's the kind of thing those guys would think was funny (Patton included).
#618 Re: The Sunset Strip » The death of Rock n' Roll » 923 weeks ago
I can't express enough how much I hate that vocal effect, and everyone is using it anymore. It can take a song that would otherwise be pretty good and make me not be able to stand it.

^ Now Perla Vs Stephanie Seymore. I'd watch that. Jell-O... Mud... or Oil... is the next question.

...although you'll never get me to give $ to EVERY member in FNM history.....
Ha, you'd go broke, it sounds like every person who lived in San Fran in the mid-80's and wasn't in Metallica was in Faith No More at some point before they were signed.
