How do you upset a team that scores 40 points a game? You don't. You think Washington can put up 45-50 points against NE?
I can understand you getting sick of the NE hype. I remember that hype surrounding the 98-99 Vikings and it was vomit inducing. They deserved some of that hype, but everyone went overboard with it.
NE is different than any other team that had the chance to go undefeated. They play in an era where there is mediocrity across the board. Teams that will likely go 8-8 have a shot at the playoffs.
Other teams in their position had alot of close games. NE blows out teams at will.

I'm not seeking out the bad. It just reminds me of the Oh My God situation because expectations were really high. Everyone was waiting for it. The reality check after people heard it was unreal. I can see why he got cold feet regarding CD/2000 Intentions.
Yeah, its not a GNR release. Neither was that soundtrack. Like that soundtrack, the thing that sticks out on this is Axl's presence and the fact he is being used as the promotional tool to get the word out.
The chances of this playing out identical to that soundtrack are slim, but the chance is there. Oh My God was the worst song on that, and I highly doubt the Axl songs on this record will be the worst.
We'll just have to see how this plays out.
This would have been much better if it had happened after a CD release, like how Axl was on albums in between Lies and UYI.

Only thing thats going to stop the Pats going undefeated is the Colts or Brady getting injured.
A friend of mine recently used the phrase "The way the Patriots are playing, I think they're going to win their bye week"
The only reason they might not go undefeated would be because they'll have homefield throughout wrapped up by week 12 or so the way they're playing. They could just put Brady and Moss and whoever else in for a quarter to keep the rust off, then take them out to avoid injury.
Yeah, Belichick is gonna have to consider that when the season is winding down and homefield is wrapped up. Gonna be a tough decision. Brady may refuse to sit because he knows he's on a record setting pace.

Well, it might look like he doesn't care about media response, but he clearly does. If he didn't give a shit what people thought, CD(or 2000 Intentions) would have been released in 1999. The negative reaction to Oh My God threw the project into a tailspin, and they still haven't completely recovered from that.
I'm not against this release. I look forward to these songs. However, it is definitely a cause for concern that in 2007 we are possibly being handed another Oh My God situation. If this album tanks on the charts and is shit on by media and fans, the future will be looking pretty bleak.
I wish we could get some concrete news before this album is released.

I'd shoot myself before I would watch anything with Drew Carey in it.

I dont get why everyone is so harsh towards Beta. I think its jealousy.
The last person in the world I would be jealous of is Beta......
You gotta admit from the things we have heard over the years, it is definitely a strange situation to say the least.
#17908 Re: Guns N' Roses » KICKASS preview of Bach's album » 934 weeks ago
The possible bad things to come out of this far outweigh the good. One negative review by RS or Blender and we're back to the dead period for 4 more years of perfecting the vocals on CD.
This is the only thing about this situation that worries me. I have no problem with Axl doing these songs, but I do worry how he reacts to reviews and how the fanbase responds to it.
#17909 Re: The Sunset Strip » METALLICA Discussion » 934 weeks ago
I like how the cd's switch at Sandman/Black Album. That was a real change for the band, and turning point. I'd like to see the GH reflect that.
I did that on purpose. The Black album turned Metallica into a whole different beast. Both eras have to be seperated, which is one reason a one disc GH would never work. It would be loaded with Black album material, and thats not how to properly show what they were all about.
If Metallica does a compilation like this, they need to have in mind young people who have never heard of them before and our looking to dive into their discography. You need to give them a taste of everything.
Yeah, the first disc is long, but there's really nothing that can be left off of there, maybe Orion.

Take the onions off of that, and I'll meet you for lunch.:beer:
Actually, thats on my list of things to do before I die. Go to Philly and eat one of those sandwiches.
