well stools is a bit too much, bit too westlife/bit too old-man-needs-2-sit-down-2-get-thru-gig but certainly a 15-20 stop trip thru usa playing those club/private/acoustic gigs.
but even that, even doing a handful of those gigs would be like an open admission they can't draw a big crowd anymore, so whatever the result of smaller gigs it would reflect badly on them really. badly if u care about that sorta thing, of course.
#3392 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » God damn, how great is Estranged!!! » 834 weeks ago
It's a day in the life for our generation
it's better n different than that. the only song i could really compare estranged 2 is the song it samples, like a rolling stone. both are gargantuan, eloquent rock n roll sirens studying the individual on the existential precipice of freedom, detailing the supernatural paradoxical anguish/pain & relief/joy of the realisation that comes from that moment in time (& that moment that when confronted never goes away). ultimately both LARS & Estranged are much more positive & universal than even the most 'normal' amazing songs like ADITL. Estranged's subject matter really delves into a lot deeper territory than ADITL, the only other song i know that does that, goes to those places, with such skill is LARS. & the riff.. good god almighty axl n slash at their very, very best - better than SCOM.
#3393 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 834 weeks ago
he said he was takin care of bizness buut then a few days later he dropped hiscounter~suit against azoff so it was cloudy in my mind what axl was ultimately meanin w/that tweet..
#3394 Re: Guns N' Roses » How can GNR fans possibly be "AGAINST a reunion? » 835 weeks ago
as an exercise in nostalgia i am vehemently opposed a reunion. the guys would lose whatevr minute credibility they have left if they were to prostitute themselves 4 that particular cash cow. 4 all the faults n fk up's (of axl n post-99 gnr) a soulless & soul destroying journey thru the past would be too much.
as 4 gettin those old guys back in the band full time & getting them function as songwriters i'd be hyped for that. but to see them try to conjure or pretend an atmosphere that couldn't possibly exist would be an(other) act of such brazen dishonesty that it'd break my affection for the all the guys involved.
i genuinely don't see the appeal in a one night stand. it would look unseemly, vulgar & prob a betrayal.
tho it prob would have 1 positive in that it'd put an end to the debate & give some kinda closure to some fans - in the same way a lot of fans found closure & detachment whn CD was finally realised, except for me that closure would be a bad thing..
#3395 Re: Guns N' Roses » Duff Joining GNR (Oct 14, 2010) was awesome but dumb » 835 weeks ago
it was very much high school, except with millions of dollars and even bigger ego's at stake.
so, like a high school musical would u say?
#3396 Re: Guns N' Roses » This I Love » 836 weeks ago
i'm w/russ on this1 - <3 robins solo, wouldn't change a thing about it. like what dj has done w/the solo live & i'd like 2 hear if bucket recorded a solo for it but as things r TiL is one of my fave cuts off CD..
i do agree an itunes EP/live album (esp the club gigs) should be the next step then new album..
#3397 Re: Guns N' Roses » RUMOUR!!!!! secret show in London, England Oct 15 » 836 weeks ago
maybe axl n duff spent the night screaming & fightin w/each other after the gig that's why his throat is sore..
#3398 Re: Guns N' Roses » RUMOUR!!!!! secret show in London, England Oct 15 » 836 weeks ago
Last time Axl did a club show like this in London, he couldn't finish the arena show the night after. As I'm going to see them on Monday night I say get yourself to bed and stay tucked up Axl
don't worry about these private gigs.
yep. defo like 2 see rest of tour prioritised over a club gig. the '06 schedule during the london shows was an error glad 2 see they've learned that lesson..

FINALLY, they are starting to make traction and people are starting to embrace and recognize the new band for their talents. People have kinda accepted that a reunion will never happen and now THIS
bullshit
I have always been super pro reunion as everyone knows and Im gonna be honest, Duff joining for one song is the most excited Ive been about this band since CD came out.
see??
in most peeps eyes the 2010 line-up is the LEAST credible GnR line-up there has EVER been yet suddenly Duff guests for a couple o' tunes one night we get to RE-WRITE our recent history within a couple of minutes if that happening??
if there was ANYTHING PRE-CONCEIVED about Duff's appearance it wasn't to test the waters for a renuion, it was to change the story of the bad press from Reading to something a little cool - BUT i don't believe that was the case either: i don't think there was a scenario where axl thought he should do something cool in the UK to counter the Reading/Leeds (Dublin?) negativity & he struck upon the idea of using Duff. in all likelihood it's a meeting between 2 guys who are still buddies & they're having a bit of a jam. the point is Duff n Axl parted on pretty good terms & axl has shown he is able to deal with SOME former band members - he's partied with steven, matt, gilby, izzy & now duff. the only one he isn't into is the most important one.
#3400 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE KICKS THE BUCKET! » 836 weeks ago
He's been very complementary of Buckethead the last few years. I'd love to see him make a few guest appearances ala Izzy, but I doubt that would happen.
there's a better chance now robin's gone perhaps.. maybe if brain was still touring as well woulda helped chances. can't see it happening any time soon tho.
