#181 Re: The Sunset Strip » Jeff Beck Dead at 78 » 147 weeks ago
On the GNR subject...
What the hell was Beck going to do with Locomotive?!? Was Slash going to step back and let Beck do his own thing with the song?
Even at the time I thought it was a strange pairing.
From the rehearsal footage of it on YouTube, he was adding little bits of his signature type widdly diddly stuff in there.
I guess they may have extended the song to allow an extra solo spot for him too?
Anyway, I’m in the same boat, I know he’s a good guitarist, but I couldn’t name a single song or album of his.
I do like his playing on Duff’s Believe in Me album. He plays some pretty cool lead guitar on both (Fucked Up) Beyond Belief and Swamp Song.
#182 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR releases nothing in 2023, is this the end for you? » 148 weeks ago
It’s just a shame that the once greatest rock band EVER, can’t find a way to put something out, aside from 20 year old rehashed songs, and even that seems all too hard for them. But why…? The last great rock guitar hero is there, the once greatest rock vocalist/lyricist ever is there. Why is it so damn difficult…???
This dangling carrot of something new coming, was tiring decades ago, and it’s just getting pathetic now.
#183 Re: Guns N' Roses » Merry Christmas! » 149 weeks ago
My wife got me the UYI Super Deluxe CD box set for Christmas, and while I’m happy with the thought behind the gift, I’m kinda annoyed she spent so much on it, because it’s not worth what they’re charging.
Merry Christmas to still one of the best places to discuss all things GN’R, both good and bad.
I hope 2023 brings us all some new GN’R music, and I hope it’s decent.
#184 Re: The Sunset Strip » Metallica - Lux Aterna » 150 weeks ago
They just did a concert for some benefit.
The set list is abysmal....
You think so? Two brand new covers they’ve never performed before, as well as the debut performance of Lux Æterna.
Then add in some deeper album cuts alongside the radio and crowd favourites.
I think that’s a great setlist. While that’s not my pick of songs, they’re certainly keeping a large portion of their fan base, both casual and hardcores satisfied.
#185 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash Says Guns N’ Roses Have a ‘Couple of Epic’ Songs to Release » 152 weeks ago
If they have no intentions of releasing new music, I wish they would shut the fuck up about it. All these cockteases of “it should be out by (US) Summer for the tour” which has long gone, and then there is no new release along complete silence about it, just pisses fans off.
I’m surprised they actually came through with the UYI box with how incompetent they are. Though looking at the lack of content and stupid price tag, just confirms their incompetence.
#186 Re: Guns N' Roses » UYI Box tracklist unveiled? » 152 weeks ago
Axl’s re-recorded vocals on Live Era were rubbish. I’m glad we finally got some proper official live releases from 1991 and 1992 that we can listen to that haven’t had the vocals messed with

#188 Re: The Sunset Strip » Metallica - Lux Aterna » 153 weeks ago
Album is titled 72 Seasons.
I like the cover.... although the yellow is a bit abrasive.
It’s certainly better than the godawful Hardwired album artwork.
#189 Re: The Sunset Strip » Metallica - Lux Aterna » 153 weeks ago
Good - new single, with new album coming
Bad - tour announcement, and no mention of Australia
Seriously, announcing a world tour to everywhere else BUT Australia seems like a cunt move from them, when they haven’t toured Australia since 2013, and they canceled their 2019 tour that was supposed to come here. We never got make up dates either.
It’s left a bitter taste in my mouth, for what should be happy time to be a Metallica fan.
