#3431 Re: Guns N' Roses » Former Manager Alan Niven Talks Guns N' Roses, Great White, VR, Slash » 839 weeks ago
i think i'd travel back to '92 tbh - maybe catch one of the shows izzy played w/them thqt year (did he or is my history confused?) that just seemed like the most mad time in GnR land, an especially fucked up vintage that years live incarnation.
farm aid is prob the sheer coolest they ever were.
then '87 or aerosmith support would be my next stop.

And Page, he ripped off alot of his riffs too.
well if u wanna play that game slash really ripped off rory gallagher.
and just ftr, rory gallagher is the greatest guitarist ever. admittedly only about this much greater than jimi, but greater nonetheless.

sounds like a top notch show, cool report supaplex.

Is it a coincidence these shows starts picking up again quickly once they are out of the mainstream spoiled areas of Britain, Scandinavia or potentially USA? I mean, when they go to some friggin country with low income and less bands coming, they increase the set list and seems to have a good time. It looks like these people are way more appreciative towards having a good time than those of us who come from countries where bands flock in and does a show every thirty seconds.
it's not a coincidence, but it doesn't make it right. fans in the UK/scandinavia/USA have as much right to hear IRS or Shacklers as the romanian fans.
axl's whimsical mood dictates who is granted a good show or not. and sometimes fans in countries that are more exposed to touring bands, or countries where the pressure/spotlight on GnR/axl, are treated to an average or phoned-in performance then the next night in another country it's an amazing show. there definitely is, and always has been, a lack of consistency with GnR/axl live. but what really rubs me the wrong way is the 'club'/'acoustic' shows are usually reserved for NY/London where there is a substantially larger media-base than say if they did one of those club shows in romania..

slash shoulda been brought in once bucket finally left, or once robin finally left. the timing was perfect. tho the timing will surely be perfect again once ron and/or $lashba leave..

IRS evry night plz, cracking tune.

imo robin looked even more out of place than bucket, and that's achieving something... something not good. he never looked like he was in a rock n roll band, let alone the crazy one of gnr. in the couple of gnr shows i saw him, robin seemed like he'd have been more at home in some art college band (which kinda is what NiN are tbh)
$lashba defo has too many slashisms but does know how to work a crowd.
#3440 Re: The Sunset Strip » Boardwalk Empire » 839 weeks ago
enjoyed it. plots were a bit boring & cliched but scorsese knocked it outta the park, a lot of great violence & some funny stuff. doubt it'll top sopranos/deadwood, though a lot of people involved worked on both shows.. it did seem a bit like it was a massive budget not matched by a superb story - it's more like costner's the untouchables than the sopranosfor instance but we're only at the pilot so hopefully it improves
