13. Back in the Saddle- AerosmithInterestingly, he listed his top 10 riffs 5 years ago (around the time of Contraband) in Total Guitar magazine and they were quite different. I'll try to dig up that issue when I get home. They were hand written. Back In The Saddle was number one I think. Number 10 had Black Dog scribbled out then he wrote the Ocean, scribbled it out and settled on How Many More Times. Space Truckin by Deep Purple was there - can't remember the rest. He also listed top 10 solos (No.1 was Last Child) and top 10 guitar players (Jimmy Page was no.1 I think, Rory Gallagher was in there too, which is cool).
This paragraph was with the songs, so I think he acknowledges what you're saying.
15 all-time great Rock & Roll riffs (13)

Slash
I was hugely influenced by the single note riff, here is a quick playlist of 15 great riffs that come to mind. But, there are many, many more! I'm going to come up with batch next month.
#632 Re: The Sunset Strip » Faith No More Reunion CONFIRMED » 924 weeks ago
If I had to guess which guitarist I would say Jon Hudson is the most likely of the past performers, if it's a new person it's anyone's and no one's guess. I wonder if Big Jim could even handle the tour, who knows if he can even play the KFAD and AOTY songs decently.
It's probably not even a matter of whether or not he could pull them off, it's a matter of whether or not his ego would allow him to play them. Which I doubt it would, and I don't think the other members wouldn't want to pull from those last couple albums.
I know a lot of people wouldn't care as long as they played stuff from The Real Thing, but I'd be disappointed if I went to a FNM reunion and didnt hear anything from Album Of The Year.
Plus... Only playing in Europe! Assholes!

Thanks BLS, any acoustic Zakk is fantastic.
#634 Re: The Garden » The Wrestling thread » 924 weeks ago
Well obviously. No way you could look like that, that quick, without using something extra to make it happen. Mickey's a small guy.
That'd be like Jan-Michael Vincent making a comeback, and being as big as Triple H. People would react with "bullshit".
What I can't believe is why the WWE would want to associate themselves with Rourke to begin with. The Wrestler is a really accurate portrayal of the 'slave meat' that wrestlers are treated like. One of the biggest offenders of this is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Jr. I can't believe he'd want to back something that depicts wrestlers are steroid & painkiller junkies, who abandon their families.
Especially after the Benoit incident.
I read somewhere that Vince McMahon hated it for basically all the reasons you mentioned... But then everybody was talking about the movie, and he saw an opportunity for promotion and $$$.
#635 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff: I love Axl Rose » 924 weeks ago
Brain is a superior drummer, maybe, but not Frank. As serviceable as Frank is, and I appreciate the energy he brings to a live show, Matt's still my favorite GN'R drummer. I hope Steven gets his shit together, but for me a reunion with Matt Sorum is still a reunion.
This, Quoted for how absolutely true it is, and it's almost word for word what I was planning on typing before I read it.
#636 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff: I love Axl Rose » 925 weeks ago
I think a lot of you have been making too much of what Axl had to say about Slash in his latest "rant." Did this latest interview close the door to a reunion with Slash? Yeah, I guess so. But it's Axl fucking Rose. I think you have to learn to take his grand statements with a grain of salt. If Axl's word was rule, we'd have had an album a decade ago and there would have been a Better video a couple months back. Does he hate Slash today? Maybe. Will he hate him tomorrow? I dunno. He seems to alternately hate himself and/or his fanbase on a day by day basis. I just never put much into that Billboard interview. He's gone out of his way to extend an olive branch to Duff and Izzy. Now this? Wait and see. There's no reunion without Slash, or the word itself wouldn't be used.
Yeah, I think a lot of people are forgetting that the first Eagles reunion was called the "Hell Freezes Over Tour" for a reason.
Maybe the GNR reunion tour could be the "None of us Are Dead Tour"
#637 Re: The Garden » White House dampens stimulus expectations » 925 weeks ago
the world needs to go to a moneyless system....you know...like star trek, everyone works to make the world a better place....fuck the money
I've been working on a way to eliminate currency. The world would just run on a system of blowjobs and cheeseburgers.
"That's a nice car. I'll suck your dick for it."
"Naah, I just got my dick sucked, got anything to eat?"
It's not perfect. It wouldn't work for Hindus for instance.
***That's completely plagerized from comedian Doug Stanhope.
Frankly the actual discussion is just too damn scary for me take seriously.

18. Black Label Society: Hangover Music
...
Have you heard Zakk Wylde's "Book Of Shadows"? If you like "Hangover Music" well enough to put it on that list you should check it out.
It's a similiar style, but in my opinion at least is way better. Hangover Music is still awesome though.
And Nick Cave... Nice.
#639 Re: The Sunset Strip » First Listen: Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown' » 925 weeks ago
^ I can't speak for CC obviously, but for me I agree wost most of what you said, I just think American kids singing would have been another way for them to make the point of the songs. It's not like the same exact sold out show with the entire audience singing along wouldn't have happened here.
It would in general show how many Americans feel the same way they do (or not, like you said, it is just a pop song) and it would have taken the ammunition away from all the "Fox News arguments".
#640 Re: The Sunset Strip » First Listen: Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown' » 925 weeks ago
That might be why we disagree on it then, because I think the fact that it's vague is a positive not a negative. If it was too specific it would get dated to a specific time and place, which it might/probably will anyway. Sorta like trying to watch old Weekend Update/Daily Show sketches it could never have the impact like it would have had at the time.
The way it is though it can still be relevant for someone that picks it up in another time and place (not nesisarily including the title track I suppose)
I also just in general like my lyrics to be vague, if I wanted a straight forward story I'd read a book. I've also thought that many times reading debates here and elsewhere about what certain GNR songs are about. The fact that lyrics can generally have multiple interpretations, therefore impacts is really cool to me. Sorry, I got my point out a while back, and now I'm rambling.
As far as the dvd, I didn't know that, and you're right, it's dumb. Had they done that in America the same thing would have happened with American kids singing along like that, and helped them get the points they were trying to make across in another way.
