#1121 Re: Guns N' Roses » Interesting tidbit about Jimmy Iovine - Interscope Records » 950 weeks ago
Thats pretty much exactly what BBF said. At the time of GNR they were drinking vodka for breakfast, fucking everything in sight, taking way too many drugs, lying about taking way too many drugs, arguing between each other, stealing, destroying stuff etc etc etc. Not recording solo albums or travelling around the world taking photos.
One of the other interesting things I have taken from the book so far is how they would only get stuff done when they were together as a band. That's when all of the best stuff came out too. The recording for Chinese Democracy maybe finished, but with all of their 'extra curriculum' activities I just don't see how they'll achieve anything. Why don't they get together, jam, play a gig, do some interviews and make it work one way or other?
For fucks sake! Its so easy, yet I imagine all of those blood suckers on the sidelines are making it way more complicated than it needs to be. If its so bloody difficult why are there so many new bands out there doing just that?

Why the hell are the record company so tight lipped about GNR?
#1123 Re: Guns N' Roses » Remember this document? » 950 weeks ago
Seriously I hope the fans start to care less. Axl needs that hunger again in my opinion, he needs to feel like he needs to impress people.
Whilst I'm quite opposed to another AFD rehash tour, I'd be quite supportive of a tour playing to smaller audiences, some AFD and but mainly loaded with new songs. Part of me thinks now they shouldn't be worried about bootlegging, if the record company is the hold up they should just get out there, play the new stuff and create some demand. For fucks sake show us what you're made of.

Staff cuts don't necessarily mean big projects get shelved. All projects have a priority and if the record company thinks Chinese Democracy can make them money they'll find the staff to make it happen.

Oh no, not another reason for a delay 
I'm reading Slash's book right now and every page is steering me towards thinking that the old band should reform. Nothing against the new guys, I just don't think its meant to be after this massive wait.
Another thing that got me, when Bumblefoot quoted that he was trying to inject some 'sleaze' into the new songs...I think it sounds really fabricated...in order to do that it seems to me that you need to be a bit sleazy in the fist place, don't you think?

As you might realise its my day off and I'm reaaaalllllyyy bored
#1127 Re: Guns N' Roses » What do you think people's reaction would be? » 951 weeks ago
You have to admit it would be quite funny, 14 yrs of effort, gazillions of dollars and then fuck it, I'm outta here!
OK here's another question
When do you predict Here Today and MyGNR will finally call it a day?

That is interesting. I wonder whats holding that same listing from showing up on the US version of Amazon?
No clue whatsoever. I mean what would trigger an online store to list an album with no release date in sight? Humour me here, can anyone often any insight into the mechanics of how that might happen, other than some exec lists it on the basis of maybe getting some pre-orders in? Do these places talk to the record companies?

If Axl called it a day and announced his retirement from the music industry?
