Will have to bump this thread either when a reunion is announced or in 2 years.
Consider it bumped.
#434 Re: Guns N' Roses » As the reunion rumors are on a treadmill... » 522 weeks ago
Reunion is a long ways off... I want CD II and that seems where Axls' head is at right now. He was def in the studio when he sent the picture on Twitter, whenever that was, and not a home studio.
This guy was so clued in. I wonder if you know where axl's head seems to be right now?

I don't always agree with Will, but I think that's a silly question.
Assuming you're right Smoking the time to brag will be when the reunion happens, until then it's really crazy to criticize other people for being sceptical about a massive U-turn happening.
Smoking, please feel free to gloat like a motherfucker. Please! Haha!

Robin makes sense because he was already in the band and there doesn't seem to be any hard feelings, which is not the case with Ron and DJ. I have no idea why this seems to be a sore spot. And if anyone would actually look at Slash's plans its painfully obvious that he could not simply multi task. And he's not going to blow it off. There's no reason to, he and Axl have plans for the next year or so.
And we're really going a little out there on the expectations of a reunion in the near future. If it happens, I think it will at some point, it will be a while. It's kind of funny that I'm the one being unrealistic, or whatever the problem is, about the possibility, just the possibility, of Robin returning to do a tour or residency, or both.
This guy cracked me up then & it cracks me up now!
#437 Re: Guns N' Roses » Cat out of the bag? » 522 weeks ago
I still say Duff rejoins the band, somehow they get Robin back for a year or so, and down the road, Slash pops up on stage and it goes from there.
Yes! Bring back Finck!

It's a man with somewhere between 3 and 10 billion dollars talking about how the powerbrokers of the world have screwed the little guy?
It's a man saying out loud what no other politician dear whisper. It's a man with enough money to do whatever he wants for the rest of his life, popular with the media and the public at large (pre campaign). But he's putting it all on the line.
Like the rest of his wealthy friends are doing. That's why it is extremely rare to see people like him take a shot.The media at large is a propaganda machine, completely in the tank for Hillary and not caring one iota about the facts.
It's funny how two people can be looking at the same painting & see a completely different picture. Both of them can't be right.
Trump has been the single biggest beneficiary of the media's role. He has used it to catapult himself to a position far beyond his knowledge or training. He has used it as free publicity. The media are only interested in Trump, their insistence on his story got him elected as the republican candidate.
Facts? Good grief..
Extremely rare to see rich people take a shot? Man, your brain is so twisted how do you even get dressed in the morning?

I don't see the appeal frankly. The notion alone that he would claim the media was conspiring against him and the election itself was rigged, is an affront to our democracy. (Funny he never said this once during the GOP primary either) It's a dangerous precedent to say the least and could lead to violence post election.
He's tapping the hardcore base here, the 28-30%. The Brietbarts, the Infowar subscribers...this is red meat for them. But he's alienating everybody else in the process.
It's an appeal to the lowest common denominator. & it is an increasingly poor advertisement for US democracy (tho the phrase, people in glass houses springs to mind). The doubling down on the aggression & spurious claims is very Nigel Farage-like.
I hate to cosy up to the Clintons & Hillary, but the point about the content of the election so far & these speeches is valid I think.
This late in the game the focus should be on policy, not personal conduct? Yea yea Bill did this and did that with his dick.. This bozo boasts of his misconduct for crying out loud: just how fucking stupid is he?
& even if he does touch on policy, he's so vague and full of untruths, generalisations and absolute hateful bullshit how can rational people think he has the administrative skills to perform even the simplest tasks and decisions? (- that's actually a scary thing about that latest speech, when he confusingly lands on anything that's not casting aspirations at a media conspiracy against him, the reaction of his supporters is muted and confused: they don't know what the hell he's talking about, partly because he doesn't know what he's talking about, and are only interested in conspiracy theories or bizarre, unhelpful generalisations. There is no conversation about issues that will affect people in their daily existence - which again is something we've lived thru over here with the Brexit campaign, & are now starting to experience: the price of marmite is rising!).
The fact that we're at this point just reflects so poorly on the character of the antagonist that it is really beyond funny and actually quite sad. That he has brought the debate to such an indecent level & continues to wallow in it ought to tell anyone with a shred of decency all they need to know. Unfortunately again it reflects badly on the electorate & general public that this is the sort of thing the election will be decided upon. Lowest common denominator.
The American presidency/election was always painted as something aspirational, a means & discourse of improvement. That wasn't always a lie, was it??
“On the contrary, he has shown himself time and again to be easily baited and quick to lash out, dismissive of expert consultation and ill-informed of even basic military and international affairs —
"You kind of woke up one day and realized it’s very possible that this person, this pathological liar, who lacks self-control, who knows very little about anything and is angry and aggressive.
“The presumption is, the commander in chief is acting in the national interest, and his decision should be grounded in knowledge and good advice."
This should be alarming enough if say we were talking about his education policy, or healthcare or his foreign policy. It should be enough for any reasonable person not to trust Trump.
This guy is talking about nuclear weapons.
What the fuck is going on.
