Host just dropped a GN'R reference... 
#982 Re: Guns N' Roses » Surprise appearance at the AMA's? » 937 weeks ago
but according to my wife, Alicia Keys just said there will be "three of the most diverse people on stage" at the end.
she told me this tongue-in-cheek, adding that i "need to stay up til the end now."
And if you listened to all of what Keys said it's all women.
And Neemo if Steven and Joe are presenting they present the last award. That's usually the end of the show.

Well he won't be performing last. They just said on the preshow that Alicia Keys is performing last.

Aussie it's strange how we vary, I think 'Scraped' is one of my favourites on the album - mostly cos of the vocals - I experience those high's and low's myself so I kinda "get it". 'Sorry' is more an aquired taste to me - I don't hate it - but I don't love it like everyone else on here seems to - I like pretty much the rest of the album more.
I also think maybe some of this album would be rating higher with fans if we hadn't heard so much of it. Like Maddy, TWAT and IRS are fantastic songs I think...it's just that we know them so well - i think people are being harsh with their reviews. Well that's my 2c anyway.
I guess we're all hardcores on here. But I think this album is really really solid. And being a slash fan i'd love to have pissed on it...but basicly...it may have taken him a lifetime...but Axl has come up with 14 more excellent songs to give to the world. I'm so happy about that.
I'd love to hear what an average person would think of Maddy.
So far i havn't played much of the album to my friends. My girlfriend listened to it and said it was 'listenable' - which from her is a huge compliment cos she only listens to accoustic folk music as a rule - mind you I was fucking her at the time so doing my absolute best to distract her LMAO
Bet If The World really helped set the mood....

Ok. here goes
TWAT:
Played it for a few friends. Thought it to be overproduced but really good.
Better: They liked it. Thought it had a nice feel
Shackler's: Was a mixed opinion on this. Ranging from it's ok to Reminds me of a better Rob Zombie.
If The World: porno guitars made the song pretty cool.
Chinese
Democracy: Very coverable. take out of that what you will.
The Blues: Pretty good. nice ballad.
Riad: Reminds them a tad of Immagrent Song.
Catcher(the demo): Had a very nice feel to it. Very classic rock.
Madagascar: Very powerful. Liked the strained old timey blues style lyrics.
Prostitute: Very Very awesome.
I.R.S: Ok tries a bit hard.

While I can see both sides and be Devil's Advocate, The old Ben Franklin quote comes to mind: "People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both"

I actually thought Bono's review was positive (for him), but to claim CD has SIX tracks that are filler. That's pushing it. I'll accept that you don't like 6 songs, or hate 6 songs, but to say almost half the album is filler. That's just insane!
This album exceeds all expectations for me. I don't have a physical copy yet, but that will change tomorrow. I seem to be in the minority, I'm digging "Scraped". My favorite of the 3 previously unheard tracks. The other 2 may take time to grow.
I'm really digging Scraped too. I think It has a very good performance of Axl and Bucket doin what they do best.

he has his album, what more could he want. To tour it with this weak ass line up would be a joke and to go to studio with no buckehead would be suicide. CUT THE FUCKING LOSSES. He got "His" album. Now end the circus and be a nostalgia act, its the only card he has. If he puts out another record with this lineup, he will be looking for a new label. If I were a record company, I wouldn't sign on for it. This album will do good out of curiosity alone. The second album would fail bad, just like Libertad did....
Yeeeaaahhhhh......Libertad also had the fact that most of it's songs should have been b-sides to Contraband or Weiland solo material to help it tank. If they would just hand the soloing over to someone other than Bumble on another album it probably wouldn't be bad. God knows we don't need any more Shackler's or Rhiad style solos...

"Daily there are millions of scans of the GIG (the Global Information Grid), but for security reasons we don't discuss the number of actual intrusions or attempts, or discuss specific measures commanders in the field may be taking to protect and defend our networks," the Defense Department said in an official statement.
I'll take a wild guess here and say that's because the number would be so high the general public would be in chaos, or at least very very shocked.
