#721 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Steven Adler OWNS all new GNR drummers » 936 weeks ago
To be honest to me a drummer is a drummer, except Lars from metallica who always got my attention...oh and tommy lee is kinda cool. I sometimes wish things would go right for adler on a human level - but I don't have a problem with the replacement drummers.
That's kind of a thing I have, you named the two most famous drummers of the last 30 years. But it isn't really their talent that got them there. Their playing style is a bit flashy, and they're loudmouths. (and in Tommy's case, banged some famous girls) So a lot of people know thier names.
As far as drumming Are they bad? No, but there's a million good drummers out there and they're no better than the majority of the pack, but they found ways to stand out.
As far as wishing things would go right on a human level, Absolutely. Here's hoping

I don't know why this guy is hated on so much. But his drumming is absolutely amazing.
All the drummers on CD combined don't come anywhere near the drumming he does on Appetite.
So let me ask
Why do the majority of fans hate Adler?
I don't hate Adler, but he is at the bottom drumming TALENT wise as far as every drummer any form of GNR has had since goes.
He doesn't suck, but he was they guy they knew/liked that could play when the band got together.
It's actually in Slash's book (and I think I read it somewhere else as well) that Adler's style was basically formed when Izzy and Duff hid a bunch of his drums when he left to go to the bathroom and made him play with what he had left. So they're almost as responsible for his sound as he it.
They have since been able to hire people with more talent.
Also, as has been said many times before this, he pretty much turned into a joke.

Anybody else see the last episode of the season of this show. The show was good, but I hate it when a season finale has three times as many cliffhangers as it does things being wrapped up.

On first listen I was like "what the hell" 30 seconds in but my confusion quickly turned to amazement. I think it's awesome. I love Robin's solo even though I know alot of people have been saying it's a poor man's Slash. Still I think it's agreat song.
The solo is good, but all I think every time I hear it is that it's BEGGING for Slash's guitar tone. But they obviously couldn't have tried to recreate that.
#725 Re: Guns N' Roses » What Really Led To Chinese Democracys Impending Release? » 937 weeks ago
Nobody screwed them over. They CHOSE to sign over the rights.
It might've been a bad decision, but business is business.
They may have "chose" to do it, but they chose to do it under the impression that it would keep the band going to keep Axl happy. It's not like they said, "Fuck it, I don't want it". They were strong armed into it.
A store owner wouldn't be chosing to give a mobster money because they were being shaken down and given the choice give me money, or get shot. In a way it's a choice I guess, but is it really.

if you can shell out 12 bucks for a twelve pack, you can shell out 12 bucks for a cd.
Yeah, but it won't get you drunk...
And it tastes like shit.

First of all, Axl had more money to spend on this record than the others combined and multiplied by 5. Second, I think that a Best of Slash 1994-2008 or even a Best of Izzy 1994-2008 would be much better than CD. Hell, I think even 5 O'clock itself is far superior to CD, although CD is a good album. I love Axl's lyrics, but the music is dead on almost the whole album (except like Sorry and This I Love), while Slash's album is full of life.
That post is laughable. The only thing you got right is the amount of money he spent.
I don't necessarily agree with the 5 O'Clock being superior to CD(although I might say it about Ju Ju Hounds, to each their own), but I absolutely thing everything else he said is right on.
Fact of the matter is, if you take the best few songs off all the solo albums (I'm including Chinese in that) and factor in what could have happened with the other member's input you have what could have been the masterpiece followup to Use Your Illusion's.
That said, I think CD is really good, it's not gonna make it outta my player for a while, but that doesn't make what Mikka said not accurate.

I Hated that vocal effect when Cher used it
I Hated it when Kid Rock used it
I still Hate it when Kanye uses it.
Seriously, Obviously people dig it, all three songs I mentioned were hits, it fucking grates at me horribly. I don't get it at all.

Annie makes all of those previous artists look like high school kids in a crappy talent show.
Always impressed with Annie. A true legend.
Most everyone who's been on this show ARE high school kids.
#730 Re: Guns N' Roses » Surprise appearance at the AMA's? » 937 weeks ago
Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus = pathetic.
What does it mean when so far her song was the most rock and roll thing on the show?
And I'm including Coldplay.
