#1 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chin Dem Album lack o'f Bass, Village Demo, Anyone still Listen to LP? » 4 weeks ago
Any Theories?
I don't think it's a theory or hard to explain. Tommy's bass is great on the album, it's just that Ron's guitar is mixed over it.
At some point someone should have said to Axl that including these guys (Frank, Ron ect) is cool, but too many people got added when the songs were mostly finished in the 90s.
It's just a wall of sound on the album that ruins the soul of it.
imo Catcher in the Rye is the best example of this.

This is a good voice
That is, but that's a live cover that doesn't sound like the original.
Axl was doing a track on a tribute album in the same vein as the original, which most people complaining have never listened too. It's like Axl doing the AC/DC tour, he wasn't out there to do Guns N' Roses.
I don't think it's that bad, except the mix. However the mix in itself is also unintentionally faithful to the original too.
I think it's pretty good for someone in his mid 60's that's barely laid down any vocals that we've heard in almost 20 years.
Well yes, but he has said that he wants to make more music. He is still "into" releasing old stuff. How can a musician be that starved for inspiration? It doesn't seem like he's even trying, despite apparently wanting to. He can still sing in a studio. He's back with Slash and Duff. It just doesn't make any sense.
I hate to point this out, but the band's discography was paper thin to begin with. They released music from 87-91, most of TSI was in those years. There was Chinese Democracy in 2008. That was 16 years ago and many of those tracks are from the 90's.
It is what it is. There's no reason to believe Guns N' Roses is gonna suddenly enter a creative phase at this point in their 60's.

This is the track right he is covering right?
What are some of the other big UFO tracks? I'm not too familiar with them.

#5 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 15 weeks ago
I think we're years past the point of another album ever coming out with this incarnation.
They might as well release whatever Slash/Duff re-recorded here and there. However I don't think there's any value in holding on to it for another random release during the next tour.
Monsters is great, but it's 20 years too late to be relevant. I also think given the cheap random ai video for The General that was just thrown out there, I don't think they care.
This is a touring band for people to go see every couple of years. Nothing wrong with that. It's a band who only released a few discs of original material 37-33 years years ago. Audience won't be there to hear Monsters live.
They do a few cycles then retire. Anyone expecting more only has their selves to blame.

Was there ever an update about this case or the Fernando case since?
No sleuths checking/tracking documents/filings?

Cornette booked an era of roh that had kenny omega, the young bucks, Kevin steen, sami zayn, Adam cole, briscoes, seth rollins, insert the name of 1/2 of aew and several of the feds biggest names.
It was completely unwatchable and probably it's lowest point in it's existence and yes that it includes today where it's basically just a ppv company c brand of aew.
Same with his run booking tna and his disastrous nwa stint (mlw thing is trivia pursuit).
He may be charismatic and say the thing you guys who grew up in 80s wrestling like, but his record managaing wrestling promotions is horrendous. He was a terrible booker with ideas that turned off audiences in multiple promotions.
His stchick now days is saying things he himself doesn't even believe including burying people and pretending he doesn't know who people are for clicks.
He's a living gimmick.
I think this is overly critical of Cornette. I disagree that he was a failure in roh. All those names you mentioned are a testimony in his favor. He always worked on a low budget and the goal of ROH was to teach and develop. As it still is….
TNA did itself absolutely no favors and to blame Cornette for that is disingenuous.
Mitch, ROH/TNA and even MLW promotions he got sacked from all went on to have their most successful runs years later. I'm betting you don't even remember the eras he ran those companies and or seen anything of it.
ROH was not a developmental at the time and he did not develop any of those wrestlers. Most went on hate him and he despised half of them, and/or did not see anything in him. Like James he was a product of his time. Which was the 1980s-mid 1990s.
Being charismatic does not equal intelligence. He was a terrible booker.
Also there's probably some vince mcmahon ish- skeletons in his closet too. There's been allegations down the years.
As for James comment on wrestling not being wrestling anymore. It's something which changes by the decades/generations. 2024 is not the same as 1999 in the same way the late 90s weren't the 1970s.
Vince Mcmahon's sport entertainment is it's own thing.

If The General/Monsters aren't 2 parts, then I'd guess -
Monsters
Perhaps
The General
Hardskool
Absurd
I could swap Perhaps/Monsters and I like The General, despite expecting something different something else. It really does make me think a little of Portishead (though I'm not sure which track).
If Monsters is Leave Me Alone, then I am a little disappointed to be honest, because it's good - but not that good for the built up fantom mythology.
The redone Perhaps grew on me, after repeat listens.
I don't really care for the redone Absurd/Hardskool though. Hardskool isn't as interesting as the 2000 rough mix version and Absurd is actively one of my least favourite things in the discography.
#10 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 56 weeks ago
While I don't think it's as clear cut as the New Song 2/Prostitute debacle, the possibility is there.
It could be always considered part of The General and it's just that, a song with two parts.
It could be Monstrosity.
It could be Soul Monster. It's also possible Monstrosity was another working title for Soul Monster.
We won't know unless someone gets to ask questions, or if the band ever just speaks.
Right now you can pay $100 for five minutes of chatting with Robin Finck. There is one way you might be able to find out.
Maybe it's what can "Daddy Can the Devil do Mommy and me?" became.
I still think people are reading too much into lyrics Nd words that Axl occasionally reuses.
Had he said "Soul Monster" I could have bought it. I don't buy Monsters as being their most "black sabbath" moment either.
Regardless, I'm updating the name of the thread.
