Honestly, I think Bad Apples sucks
It’s never done much for me either.
I’d much rather hear
Locomotive
Breakdown
Don’t Damn Me
Pretty Tied Up
Dead Horse
From the UYI back catalogue.

Weren’t Atlas and Going Down listed several times?
We're largely saying the same thing Monkey.
In 2002, the album would've been released after the VMAs and the US tour would've continued. Same thing as what you're saying about Metallica.
The Rio show in 2001 Axl made a point of saying what he said in 2008. This is the album, next year is another album, we'll be back on another tour.
But playing new songs live doesn't make sense unless you're releasing an album and they aren't.

Because if/when they do an album, it'll probably use the Chinese Democracy II vocal tracks, which were recorded – in some cases – back in 1999.
Yeah but that'd cover CD II.
If the 3rd album in the trilogy is incomplete, the vocals probably are too.
And if CD II is put on the shelf for politics or business reasons, we have nada.
I’m pretty sure Axl can still knock out strong vocals in the studio. Whether that can be replicated every night on an 18 month tour remains to be seen. However his stint with AC/DC if nothing else proves he still has the classic rasp when needed live, let alone a studio setting.

How fucking ridiculous.
I’m in no way pro Trump but the fact someone feels the need to publically apologise for ‘offending anyone’ by saying they would have voted Trump had they been able to is unbelievable.
Firstly for being so spineless that they can’t defend what was clearly their original opinion. Secondly that people are so precious they’re offended and it now causes controversy by someone hypothetically saying they’d vote for the guy that already won a democtratic election?
The left is its own worst enemy.

I never set too much importance by the synth guy and nor do I now it’s the synth girl. Don’t have an issue with her being there but equally the band doesn’t fall apart without her.
This generations Tracey, Roberta and Teddy all rolled in to one.

Hold on, it is illegal to carry a knife in the U.K. yet a a lot of murders happen from people carrying knives. Lol. So even in knife Free zones they still have knife deaths. We keep going in circles. There are so many just bad dudes (and dudettes) in this world.
Sure, it’s illegal to drive down a pavement knocking over pedestrians like bowling pins as well.
Anyone can pick up a knife from their kitchen and do damage with it (same as with plenty of household items). The scarcity of guns compared to knives makes the likelehood of a shooting much lower than a stabbing.
Agree there are far too many fucked people walking around.
#166 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 419 weeks ago
True enough, I don’t doubt the statistical unlikelehood of you or a family member being killed in a mass shooting. Equally the odds of being stabbed or run over or shot by a radical in a European city centre are equally unlikely. They make tue headlines because it could be you or me. Most murders are between criminals and gangs, nobody concerns themselves with those as much because unless you move in those circles it’s unlikely to affect you. It’s the 1% that terrifies as it has no rationale or even skewed morality to it.
I have no doubt lives have been saved with the presence of a firearm, millions maybe. I think it’s also worth considering, however, how many lives have been lost due to the escalation of a situation due to the presence of a firearm? I have no idea the answer to that btw. I do know though, that most burglars or intruders want jewellery and valuables, not to murder the occupants of the house they are robbing. An armed intruder against an unarmed family has the control, takes their shit and leaves (typically). An armed intruder against a family with a gun could end up all sorts of ways but I’m sure statistically it’s more likely to end up in a gun being fired. As a military man you’d probably fancy your chances but I’m not sure if it’s worth the risk for a typical household? The right to defend yourself is fine in theory but when put to the test the reality can play out quite differently.
There are no easy solutions but I am still in the camp that thinks limiting ease of access for anyone to guns that can kill hundreds of people in minutes is not a violation of a human right.

Oh, I remember you guys acting like knife attacks were no big deal. There was a knife attack at the same time as that school shooting with about the same amount of damage. Which you guys ignored and dismissed. A psycho with a knife seems to be just as deadly. Maybe you can ban knives.
Carrying a knife is illegal in the UK.
I’m not really sure what your point is. Firstly, regardless of weapon, society gives less of a shit if a load of gang members stab each other to death than a mass shooting in a school or town centre. The two aren’t really comparable events.
Secondly, you can perform a ‘mass killing’ with all sorts of things. Guns, knives, hammers, cars/trucks. The reason there isn’t call to ban these items is they all serve a normal day to day non-violent purpose, guns don’t. They exist to kill, nothing else. You see the difference?
Thirdly, are you seriously trying to suggest that in a situation where a mass murder is going to be attempted, a knife presents the same scope for damage as an assault rifle?
#168 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Slash solo album with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators incoming » 422 weeks ago
Dissappointed with this.
Admittedly it’s only one show and album announced I think for Slash and Myles so it may only be a limited live run. However the pieces seem to be lining up more to Axl/DC following the summer GNR tour than a new GNR album.
Axl/DC is cool and not a bad consolation assuming it happens but it’s new GNR stuff I want first and foremost.
Assuming a typical album/tour cycle from AC/DC starting next year we’re probably looking at 2021 at the earliest for a chance of GNR music.

it's a bummer those guys had to leave in the end. that was an end of everything.
It was an end of the car crash known as the CD era but that needed euthanizing about 5 years earlier anyway.
#170 Re: Guns N' Roses » BRIAN JOHNSON: 'I Had A Great Run' With AC/DC » 424 weeks ago
Agreed.
Depends on by what parameter you want to define ‘big’ of course but I can’t think of a ‘bigger’ musical artist/band with a smaller discog than GNR.
