#41 Re: The Garden » Climate Change » 472 weeks ago
The earth's temperature has changed long before people came along. I suppose we came out of the ice age because people were burning fossil fuels? Climate change is real, sure. Not convinced that the reasons are what we've been told, and I certainly am not going to take the government's word for it.
It's not about the fact that it has changed. It is about the speed at which it is changing.
Also, about not being convinced you don't need to be convinced. It's not an argument. It's a reality.
Actual scientists getting paid by the gov't a shit ton of money? No thanks. They have a agenda. As soon as someone explains how we could come out of the ice age long before fossil fuels were being burnt but that can't possibly be the same reason things are changing now, I'll consider listening. I've never not believed things are changing, but I don't trust the why.
The Governments of the world have a lot less money to spend on climate change research than Oil companies.
Also with smart sensing technology in place the world over now and the open access to historical climate its very easy for the average citizen to work out the climate change equation for themselves.
A huge amount of work on climate change is not done by well funded scientists anyway. It is undertaken by early stage researchers and phd students who haven't got a pot to piss in.
Not everything is, or has to be, a conspiracy.
It does if you're lazy and emotionally invested in a certain world view.
Also, great went through a huge phase of Peter Gabriel a few years back.
Excellent musician.
#42 Re: The Garden » How Long Have You Posted On A Guns N' Roses Fanboard? » 473 weeks ago
I started in 2002. I was on holidays in Spain with family and the hotel had those computers where you have to pay money for 10 mins internet access and then the computer locks when the money runs out. The guy before me had been reading about GNR and buckethead and was on the ilicit press website where the IRS leak originated.
I logged in after him and read some stuff. I got hooked then found ROV early on and been knocking around ever since.
#43 Re: Guns N' Roses » Lenny Kravitz on opening for GNR » 473 weeks ago
I am watching his special documentary on Showtime right now. This is some great shit. He plays all the instruments on the albums I think and then the band learns them. Some good performances. He is a perfectionist and they rehearse like crazy. He is a real pro and really talented.
He puts some really cool videos online for his fans too.
He posted this short video of himself working on the track Superlove from Black and White America a few years back.
It's really cool watching him do all the different parts and hearing how it comes together.
I just found he posted a few more:
Also this video is brilliant.
He's in New Orleans and hears a group of kids singing his song down the street.
He goes down to join in but lets the kids keep the spotlight.
Really cool:
I like Lenny a lot. He has some really good music some absolutely classic albums. His first 3 and his most recent 3 are excellent, some of the middle ones I'm not so fond of, but they came out in the late nineties to mid 2000s. Rock n Roll was truly dead during that period.
He's also got that musical ability that people like Prince had where he can play almost anything to a virtuoso level with ease.
Also. Lenny mentioned fields of Joy in that interview.
It's got one of Slash's best solos from all of his work on it.
If having Kravitz around keeps Slash that inspired it can only be a good thing.

He is very good.
His last album was perfect.
#45 Re: Guns N' Roses » Discussion of Axl's Voice: Only When It Was Funny? » 475 weeks ago
I don't think he gave a shit, honestly.
I agree with this. But not in a negative way.
I think he just liked to experiment and make use of all his different voices, keep them all trained in.
Also, another possibility could be the oxygen tent.
Axl supposedly had an oxygen tent at all guns shows since at least 2006.
There's a behind the scene video which shows his oxygen tank.
Being in the throne he can't get near his oxygen and I think that has really helped his voice.
Maybe Mother Goose was slipping some helium into the old O2 supply to liven things up a bit...
#46 Re: Guns N' Roses » Any Rumors on Opening Acts? » 475 weeks ago
Some more ideas
A7x
Chickenfoot
Ac/Dc
Aerosmith
MegadethSome of these are more co-headliers obviously.
A7x would kill for the gig.
Chickenfoot aren't good enough to be honest.
AC/DC sould never do it.
Aerosmith have too much ego to open a GNR show.
Megadeth are the same.
I saw somewhere maybe Lenny Kravitz....
Perfect opener.
Black Crowes are a piss poor band in my opinion. All style no actual decent music.
I hope its lenny, but I've heard tell of the Foo Fighters, and I'd believe that too.
#47 Re: Guns N' Roses » 7/5/16 Lisbon, Portugal AC/DC (First Show With Axl) » 476 weeks ago
Man there is something magical about hearing Axl singing "I'm Back. Yes I'm Back".

This is soo good.
I cannot believe how good he is on those songs. Ac Dc are HARD to sing. Axl is nailing it.

Like Vince Neil sang once....Don't go away mad.....just go away.
Well Vince Neil could never sing but I think I get your meaning.
