#291 Re: Guns N' Roses » For the record..... » 901 weeks ago
ANyone who spends so much of his time on the boards is not only a fan but a die hard. For better or worse
yeah... it`s one thing to spend a lot of your time on a gnr board being happy and talking about your favourite band, but it`s an entirely different thing to spend a lot of your time on a gnr board to complain and bitch about a band. a band which might even be your favourite band however.... and i think that`s what some people are doing on this board. pathetic if you ask me.
reading some of the earlier posts in this thread, i have to say that i understand your feelings to some extent. i didn`t really feel the need to post about gnr since december 2006. it doesn´t mean i`m less of a fan or anything, i just don´t see any sense in it. i mean most of the time there simply was nothing to write about, but even now i don´t feel the need to write something. of course i`m checking the boards daily though:haha: the same goes for the "real world". some years ago i was very eager to tell my friends and people around me about gnr and everything. to an extent where it just went on their nerves. now as the album is out, i don`t care about that anymore. i don`t care if anyone thinks the album sucks or anything. i love it and that`s enough for me. like madagas said, a weight is off my shoulders.
@bono: the only reason you didn`t buy CD is, because you didn´t have to in order to listen to it. you probably downloaded all the leaks you could get and listened to the final product as soon as it was available on the internet. you`re fooling yourself if you think you didn`t buy it for any other reason. that being said, it would only be fair to buy it now....
i bought the record 4 times by the way. and james, i wouldn`t tell you if it wasn`t the truth. one copy is for my car, one for my stereo and the other two ones were long promised presents.
i don`t care if axl or gnr appreciate their fans or not by the way. it`s not about that to me. i`d take axl being axl about bands who tell their crowd they love them and they`re the best crowd they ever played to any day....

#294 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Liner Note Discussions *EXTREME SPOILERS* » 904 weeks ago
I hear all of that with some quite bitter, resentful and occasionaly spiteful lyrics I have ever heard from a middle aged artist.
Well, look at what has transpired over the years. He was the lead singer of one of the biggest bands in history and it all blew up in his face.He's spent over a decade trying to build it into something, and has went through so many different incarnations that its impossible to tour the record behind the true visionaries behind it. He allowed the hype machine to get out of control to the point none of it could live up to those insane expectations.
He also has major issues with women, and doesn't look like those problems were ever solved.
It isn't really a surprise that the album isn't brewing with optimism.
to my understanding it`s good for an artist to face some problems in his life to cope with in his lyrics or his music... i mean does anyone want to listen to axl singing about his boring life as a millionaire?? face it people, axl isn`t 25 anymore and he probably had to deal with a lot of shit in his life... as james says, it`s definitely NOT a surprise to see quite some pessimism in his lyrics.
about that revolving door thing.. i don´t really see the problem here at this point. of course bucket isn`t there anymore, but he wasn´t in 2006 either, so that`s no news. we don´t know about the rest of the lineup. albeit being a great fan of robin, i am as big of a fan of buckethead. however, as important as he is and was to gnr, he was not one of the main writers of chinese democracy. he wrote 2 songs if i`m not mistaken and shines with his solos on other people`s songs, but that`s it. i remember if the world and rhiad being credited as buckethead`s work on here, but we all know how that panned out...
that`s not to say i don`t see his major role on this record, i just don`t look at him as the core of the new line up. that`s another point, there IS a new line up imo. and we all know that if it was up to axl buckethead would be part of this line up right know...
these liner notes are definitely another example of "axl can do whatever he wants and people are bitching" i think.....
i mean... what the fuck is going on with you people? stop the negativity and celebrate the fuckin record coming out!! or listen to some other music and get a life. chinese democracy isn`t the best record ever made and won`t change the music world??? no shit, sherlock...... who the fuck cares? it`s obvious, that a 46 year old rockstar won`t do things like that, but there are people like myself, who will enjoy this album no matter what!! i preordered chinese democracy on amazon and i`ve waited more than 5 years for this day and i don´t care if there`s a fuckin spelling error in the (unfinished) booklet or not...
peace out!!:thumbup:
#295 Re: Guns N' Roses » (OLD NEWS!)The Limewire Leaks Discussion » 905 weeks ago
Does If The World sound different at all to the demo?
it`s the only track i listened to since it was released on body of lies and i already listened to the bestbuyversion......
and in my opinion it`s a fuckin great song. changes are:
- the mix, it sounds fuller than the demo! the orchestra is fantastic imo
- the lalala part is quiet
- the are some different drums
- the intro is slightly changed with some drums added
- there`s some new lead guitar work by bumble added
i`m fully convinced now that this album will be killer. if you hated the songs before, chances are you won`t like the final versions as well, but i know that nomveber 22nd will be pure musical orgasm to me:thumbup:

#297 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Best Buy promotional ads » 906 weeks ago
Something tells me these ads will never hit the airwaves. They are playing off on the election theme, but the election is a couple of weeks away.
... the release of chinese democracy is ONE MONTH away dude!!;)

#299 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR on 'Body of Lies' film soundtrack / confirmed by BP at CD.com » 910 weeks ago
I think this is good news, but BP's word doesn't mix with 'what's on the street'.
How can you take a rumor, and what it was born of and dissect it to say "yeah a song is on the soundtrack to Body Of Lies", but Azoff and Gould weren't there, no Best Buy announcement, no songs played for the Holiday Con crowd.
It doesn't make sense. Me thinks it all or none. Either it's confirmed the deal was done in the last two days, Best Buy-only release, Azoff & Gould were there and played tracks, an a song is gonna be on Body Of Lies.
Or it's ALL bullshit.
he actually said that they DID play the songs.... if you reread the first post:thumbup:
#300 Re: Guns N' Roses » Information on Shackler's Revenge » 912 weeks ago
Interesting to see Robin get a writing credit. I don't hear him on the track at all. But of course that doesn't mean he isn't there. No writing credit to Stinson or Thal though - considering most of us agreed Ron played a solo, you would think that usually counts as writing on the track.
i think he plays throughout the entire song. like the melody behind the rythm guitar...
