#1001 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 689 weeks ago
I need a new 360 game: help!
I just replayed Bioshock 1, and played through Bioshock 2 twice. I've worn myself out on Fallout 3. I'm having a hard time getting into RE5 (which I knew I would, which is why I didn't buy it til recently on the cheap.) Also had a hard time getting into Borderlands- is it worth sticking with?
Been replaying Serious Sam HD and other older shooters.
Any suggestions for badass shooter/horror survival games?
Alan Wake and its sequel Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Dead Space 1 and 2

Can't you use Steam? It's a very nice platform, digital distribution and CHEAP prices!

So, what's Izzy's reason for not going now? Axl won't be there so there is no potential disaster.
You're kinda right... Axl not around and Steven around is not a POTENTIAL disaster, it's an ANNOUNCED disaster.
Izzy has been avoiding drama for so long (think Velvet Revolver) that it only makes sense (as DOES Axl not showing up) for him to be away from that.

I think it does affect what Axl is trying to do moving forward BUT, at the same time, so does showing up unprepared for a Rock In Rio type of event or closing the VMA's or not promoting your record aka most anticipated rock album of all time.
An one off reunion sabotages Axl but not as much as himself in the major shots he had.

To me, as Guns N' Roses always was, it's about holding on to what you believe.
I agree with most of your post except they owing us ANY thing and the no longer support for Axl n' Izzy.
Axl and Izzy's post-GN'R efforts are still pleasant for me. Both Slash and Duff came to play in my city, in my neighbourhood actually, and I didn't bother to go see them. I've travelled far for GN'R (won't anymore until a new album is released or new material is being played) and would travel to see Izzy.
Both of 'em, love it or hate it, live on their own terms and you gotta respect that. Also, it's not that fame did it to them. If you read biographies and know the story of the band, you'll know that they were starving and acting the way they are now.
A one-off reunion for this award would do no harm in my opinion but I totally respect Axl not wanting to do it and Izzy avoiding the drama.
A reunion tour or album would make me lose the little respect I have left for Axl (and Izzy). It would be the last thing that needs to fall in order for me to move on. I want new music, I want the vault opened and dissecated, I want more from Axl musically, artistically.
Slash and Duff's solo efforts, except on some glimpses, do not motivate me so I don't support it but not because I hold a grudge - only because it doesn't interest me. And it also doesn't mean I'm an Axlite.
Chinese Democracy, to me, is a 7 good/amazing off 14 songs album. Izzy's solo career has more things I like but has the same rate of good/bad of 50%.
Shor version: a one-off reunion don't mean NOTHING to me at this point. A full reunion means GN'R is dead (sounds strange hun?).

Are there any mentions of GNR and his brief moment with them on his book?
#1007 Re: Guns N' Roses » Does Talent create responsibility to use that talent? » 689 weeks ago
I do believe he's lacking inspiration. The so talked about muse that Merck talked about. He had a driving force to rebuild Guns but lost his inspiration along the way, perhaps to the business side of things, perhaps to the lawsuits, perhaps the record company, perhaps to himself.
Or all the above.

New music and shows, and never too much of one or the other. These are the things to keep your GN'R fandom alive. If Axl wants to be dead last on a constant basis, that's his problem.
I heard from a business man involved with Universal in Brazil that Axl is still touring to pay Universal US about some costs from Chinese Democracy sessions (talked about mixing/mastering costs of two albums, wasn't sure if two additional or CD + 1), plagio lawsuitS (Riad and another song, wasn't sure which one) and payback costs for interviews/promo that Axl didn't attend PLUS packaging and finishing the next album.
This executive guy told me that he heard most tracks of a follow up BEFORE cd was released...
#1009 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » New "Adler" song "The One You Hated" » 689 weeks ago
Great tune, ALOT better than Slash's recent "You're A Lie", and if this song is a preview, the album will be a GN'R contender for the GN'R legacy.
This.
If only Axl would put out a new album this year so we could compare.
Unfortunately not gonna happen. Not in this lifetime.

I'll ask it just once:
Why do EVERY track Steven records NEED to have fuckin' cowbell? To me, it's like, Ok, dude, some of your beats on AFD had it, now let it go.
