#21 Re: Guns N' Roses » Google Trends » 918 weeks ago
Maybe it's related to me not searching for news stories anymore. I used to google "guns n roses" like 8 times a day back when there was news. Now that there's none, I don't do it anymore. I'm not saying it's my fault, but there are probably many others in my boat.
I'm in that boat.

#22 Re: Guns N' Roses » Even Axl is sick of Baz's mouth » 918 weeks ago
BBA can you never accept someone breaking up and moving on in a band that you really liked in the past?
Absolutely. Especially when that artist leaves the name behind and actually moves on by releasing his own material. In Baz's case, if he was capable of releasing decent material, I wouldn't be wishing that he would get back with Skid Row.
Baz's music sounds pretty much like Skid Row now anyway so if you really liked Skid Row how can you not like this music, it's pretty identical,
Aside from the fact that it is no longer the lates 80's early 90's, his lyrics are pretty cheesy, and some of the songs seem to have no chorus or melody.
You see, I can't see just blindly worshipping an individual just because he is friend's with Axl, or because Axl let them in his band, or because he's nice and responds to emails. I call it like I see it. You can say it's because I can't get over the ex members, but that's not true. If I feel as though an artist is talented, I'll give credit. I don't think what BBF does is very talented. I honestly could care less if a guy is able to play the guitar with his foot. Nor do I think trying to shred a classic song adds anything positive to it.
I simply lost all respect for Bach when he became unable to shut up about Axl being on his album. That's nice that they are friends, that doesn't mean that I am going to like his new music.

#23 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy starts - never? » 918 weeks ago
I really doubt we are going to learn the secrets of "Chinese Democracy" from a random poster in the shoutbox over at Blabbermouth...
Although I can understand why you posted it... the thread on HTGTH lasted a few minutes longer than predicted, but jarmo wasn't online.
HTGTH only allows threads that pertain to a band member's underwear or the type of sunglasses that they wear.

#24 Re: Guns N' Roses » LedZAerial - Finck Project (Led Zeppelin tribute band) » 918 weeks ago
no offense....but more cover songs
he should release some orig stuff
My thoughts exactly.
You'd figure after 10 years and 3 tours with Nu GNR, he'd want to start doing something outside of playing cover songs.

#25 Re: Guns N' Roses » Even Axl is sick of Baz's mouth » 918 weeks ago
Does this ever put you in a bad spot or become a bit of a burden?
So maybe sometimes I should talk a little less about him, but it is hard. Number one, I am a fan and mumber two, he is a friend, and number three, he is on my record. So I just have to trust the writers not to twist my words and I don't have a bad word to say about him. It is not in my being. So I do have to be careful.
Yes Baz, YOU should talk less about him. You seriously sound like a damn idiot.
Being the jack-of-all-trades that you are, you have without a doubt lived quite an interesting life. Any plans to document your life and times in a book?
100 percent. That will definitely be coming. But ya know, it will take a long time because it will be good. It will be worth the wait!
I think I'll be passing on any Baz biography. The dude was once the lead singer of a really good band, then he started doing theater, now he spends his time kissing another guy's ass for agreeing to do backing vocals on a few songs on his solo album. The End.
I want to put out more CDs, dude, before you see a book from me. Now that I have my own record label, I am gonna use it! That's my first passion. So I am gonna release albums before anything else.
Please Baz, if you're going to release another cd, at least have the sense to get back with the band that made you famous. If you're not going to, just retire.

#26 Re: Guns N' Roses » How we will know for sure that CD is done » 918 weeks ago
And, Bringbackjunkie, I am 40 years old, went to 7 UYI concerts, been a Gnr fan since 1988, work for a Fortune 500 company in the US who is VERY familiar with how big business works (make no mistake, Axl looks at this as a business), know people who work very intimately with the touring business (Live Nation-currently promoting the VH tour-my buddy marketed the tour), have read privileged court documents and loss of income lawsuits from acts as big as Gnr, etc etc etc...
Well, your lame personal insults don't suggest that you are 40. Probably just old and uneducated, I guess. I have a business degree and work for a good company. So what exactly is that supposed to mean ? You still appear to be a very gullible, and naive individual who is willing to buy into any obvious line of bs that he is given. I guess you're pissed that I raised questions about your so-called points that you were unable to answer. Then I ask you for 10 logical signs that prove that it's business matters and you can't do it. Plus you seem to keep flip-flopping on what exactly it is that you are trying to say. Once you figure it out, let me know.

I could care less about Baz or what he says about GnR or anything for that matter.
madagas wrote:Bumble has recently expressed distaste for "major labels"
BBF put all his previous albums out on his own, independant label. Self produced and marketed. After doing this for so long, and being happy & content to do it, moving on to a big label would be frustrating. This doesn't say 1 iota about whether CD is or isn't turned in. Just speculation & reading into things too much.

I could go thru Mysterons post history and find quite a few posts were he's been wrong, so.....?

Really?? 100?
madagas wrote:YOU CAN ASSUME WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF CERTAINTY,
A. Is there such a thing as "Assuming with a high degree of certainty"??
B. Really, no you can't. You prove Baz says it's done (Did he ever say it was turned in? I'm not sure) and Mysteron says the label is holding it up. That's all just heresay. Also, why wouldn't the band state the album is done or turned in. They wouldn't have a gag order over it. If it was going to court they would have to file a claim which would be public anyway. So why no official statement?
C. Even if it was 'The Label" holding it up, how do we know what is being discussed. Axl could want something ridiculous like renegotiate his contract, or higher royalties, or asking they forgive the $13 mil advance.
Completely agree, PaSnow.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe 10% of the shit that comes out of Baz's mouth. That guy is Axl's pawn and he's doing what he needs to do to try and get his 5 mins in the spotlight. I don't trust him as far as I could throw him.
No offense to BBF, but he's on the payroll, and I don't buy into his crap either. He's lucky to even be associated with this band, IMO.
I honestly can't believe that people are actually naive enough to be buying into Mysteron's game. I ask again, besides pre-sales, what has he ever done or said that was correct to prove his credibility.
Madagas says there are at least 100 clues suggesting it's business matters cauusing the delay ? Ok, name me 10 logical clues.

#28 Re: Guns N' Roses » How we will know for sure that CD is done » 918 weeks ago
Did you not read my second post, two posts above yours? Read what Merck and Axl actually said! My god you are a piece of work.....and I am trying to be nice mods!
Someone's spending too much time at htgth. Brainwash, brainwash, brainwash.
Those statements don't prove that the album is handed in, and that business matters are the only cause for delay.
They may have business matters that need resolved, but that doesn't mean that the album is in the record company's hands. Is that really that hard to understand ? Those statements were made a year ago, and Mysteron just said that "it's in the record company's court now" a month ago. You are assuming that those two statements are related. I'm just curious, how old are you ?
I'll bet you anything that the master(s) haven't been handed in yet. You just name it.

#29 Re: Guns N' Roses » How we will know for sure that CD is done » 918 weeks ago
Merck didn't say that, I did. Merck said in his response to Axl's open letter that the label would not talk to Gnr about contract renegotiations, videos and promotion until the album was done. Axl said the same thing. Now, if you use a little common sense and at least believe a fraction of what we have been told (the recording was done in Feb according to the band's website), then you can assume that "business issues" are what is holding up the release. Sebastian said this as well, Bumble has recently expressed distaste for "major labels", Mysteron's comment, and about 100 other clues, YOU CAN ASSUME WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF CERTAINTY that business matters are a big problem. You on the other hand don't believe anything so I am pounding my head against a brickwall by even responding.:headbang:
read and comprehend...THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR AXL...he wants to be the man, then he should have handled his business...which apparently he hasn't done if they are fuckin with the label in any capacity.:flame:
"I am not saying the record company is holding up the album. I am saying that various business matters are....stuff that Axl should have handled years ago but evidently didn't start until all the alleged recording was done. Merck said that as well after leaving.....is he lying too?"
There's your quote from pg 1. Now above you say Merck didn't say that, you did ?!? Uhhhh ???
Then you tell me I'm not using common sense because I don't believe what I am being told by insiders that we don't even know are legit ?? LOL. Axl never said the record company is the hold up, management has never said the record company is the hold-up, the record company never said that they are the hold-up. Mysteron did. Who in the hell is Mysteron, and why should it be common sense to believe what he tells me ?
There's no "high degree of certaintity" business matters are holding this thing up. In fact, there is ABSOULTELY ZERO EVIDENCE to suggest that business matters are holding the album up. It's all speculation. I think it's really funny that you are failing to see this.

I don't recall Merck saying the only hold-up was business matters ?
