Andrew Dice Clay Brought Guns n’ Roses Back Together

http://theinterrobang.com/andrew-dice-c … o-reunite/

Iconic comedian Andrew Dice Clay has always been bigger than life, but now he explained that like the Machavallian character he is, he laid the groundwork for the upcoming Guns n’ Roses reunion at Coachella.

Dice called comedian and columnist Jeffrey Gurian this week, and told his friend that over a series of months he connected with Gn’R members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagen, as well as road manager Tom Mayhew and helped to grease the wheels to get the reunion underway.

Back in February 2015, Slash surprised the music world by tweeting @AxlRose wishing him a Happy Birthday. According to Dice, he helped make that tweet happen when he told GnR road manager Tom Mayhew, who he’s been friends with for nearly three decades that they need to get Slash to tweet something good about Axl.  Soon after, the infamous birthday tweet.

Dice says he’d run into Slash when he was performing in Australia and told Slash that Guns had millions of fans who would love to seem them get back together.  He also opened for Axl at the Hard Rock in Vegas, and told Axl that it was time for the band to get back together.  A few months later, Duff McKagen came to see Dice’s son’s band, previously known as L.A. Rocks, now Still Rebel. Dice says Duff told him Still Rebel was ready to break out. Dice, in return, mentioned to Duff that he thought Guns should get back together.

And now the band is set to reunite at Coachella and Slash and Axl will be on stage together for the first time since 1996.  So maybe it is just a coincidence, or maybe Dice really is the force that brought together the most sought after reunion of the year. So thank Dice, Guns N Roses fans. Cause he may have made this happen.

Gn’R and Still Rebel aren’t the only ones having a big year.  Andrew Dice Clay has a huge year ahead of him too, with a giant role in Scorsese’s Vinyl debuting February 14th on HBO, and a new Showtime series debuting on April 17th called Dice.

You could say that's...."unbelievable...Ohhh!"

I completely agree on DLC's. Prices are just crazy, and you have to draw a line somewhere. I've recently been playing Batman: Arkham Knight (finally). I bought the sum bitch in early July (shortly after it was released), I bought it digital-download off of PSN, because I wanted to play it immediately. It cost me $59.99. I played the Poison Ivy capture deal (like the first thing), then got busy, and never picked it up again until Black Friday in November, I got a special deal + coupon where I bought the "Season Pass" for like $23 bucks off of PSN to get all the current DLC. I started over, played the Poison Ivy mission again... then got busy.

I started it AGAIN, and now i'm in it and like a quarter done. It's cool, it's great, the graphics rule, it's a nice sequel, Mark Hamill returns, but the Batmobile thing SUCKKKKKSSSSS.

But back to the DLC, there's alot of things to like about the "Season Pass" (I got screwed on the Arkham Origins one from a couple years ago), but at the same time... I just can't help... but to feel CHEATED.

All of this stuff is downloaded -- but locked. So it's already in the game. But then you have to pay for it. I payed $83 dollars (in total) for Batman: Arkham Knight... and I didn't even get a game disc. Nothing. If I would've bought the Premium Edition (Game + Season Pass), it would've cost $100 bucks. $100 Bucks!!! For a fucking video game?!?!

Am I old?

Now i'm probably going to Pre-Order "MLB: The Show 16--MVP Edition" for $69.99 (but i'll probably get 20% off). It's got all kinds of bonus stuff, but nothing earth-shattering. The best probably being a collectible Steelbook for American League MVP 3B Josh Donaldson of the Toronto Blue Jays, which looks really cool and I really want as an MLB & PS4 fan.

But there's another version... the "Digital Deluxe Edition" for $100 bucks... and it's ENTIRELY digital. $100 bucks?!?!? For a fucking baseball game that comes out every year with a roster update, no changes to uniforms, and it's $100 bucks? Madden does the exact same thing. So does Call of Duty.


I mean... you get to the point where you DRAW A LINE. $100 bucks is too fucking much for a video game, that in 6 months will be yesterday's news and available on Amazon for usually $25 bucks, if not less.


The greed, and locking people out of games is getting ridiculous.

You ain't the only one. Alot of gamers and customers in general have been getting screwed over by Warner Bros./WB Games for the past couple years now. Their DLC practices especially with the recent Mortal Kombat X and Arkham Knight are beyond shameful. Doesn't help their PR team are run by a bunch of assholes. WB Games also ported a unfinished, buggy version of Arkham Knight onto Steam and PC releases and it took fellow fans to patch their own game while WB did a bullshit apology, took the game off the Steam store, then brought it back weeks later, and still didn't fix everything. roll

I think I read somewhere that Matthew Perry isn't coming back for the special. Don't really care. I mean some episodes are alright; but most of the characters on that show are just so whiny and unbearable.

Dude...I love these mash-ups. Glad you are still tinkering with new ideas.

Extremely conflicted but I choose Izzy by a hair. Kind of wanted Duff to see it through.

RIP. Seriously fuck cancer. Another amazing talent. Sir Ian McKellan wrote a pretty sweet post about him on Facebook earlier today.

Umm, not to disappoint, but when I said "Remake", I was strictly referring to Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn, not the actual remake/reboot (I haven't seen it, didn't interest me in the teasers). I only said 'remake', because if you re-watch Evil Dead II, it's basically a scene-for-scene remake of the 1981 original, except for the chainsaw & boomstick and jokes. Evil Dead II in alot of ways is similar to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Raimi with Evil Dead II, no different than Tobe Hooper with TCM2, basically said "hey let's take my dark, sick original, and do it as a black comedy" and the sequels to both of those films resulted. TCM2 followed an all-new story that follows up with the events 10 years later, but ED2 basically just remade the first, but tweaked.

And don't get me wrong, I like Army of Darkness. I thought it was a neat departure. I just don't feel AOD is better than Evil Dead II. It could've been the definitive film if somethings had been done differently, but regardless AOD is a cult masterpiece in its awesomeness. I am old enough to still remember kids catching that flick at the local video store and quoting the movie on the PE playground... cool times.

I highly recommend watching the 2013 remake. It's quite good. But yeah you are right about Evil Dead 2 being a remake of sorts as well as a continuation of the story. The reason why it's a remake/recon because Raimi wasn't completely happy with the first Evil Dead and with the improvement in camera techniques and special effects, he wanted to take advantage of that. Sort of a George Lucas scenario. Also the fact that at the time a different film company owned the rights to the first Evil Dead and it wasn't until after Dead by Dawn's release that the Raimi brothers and Campbell got the rights back. The whole Army of Darkness rights situation has yet to be resolved even though Universal and another studio re-released the movie on Blu-Ray with special features pretty recently. I see where you are coming from. That's cool man! I got a Army of Darkness shirt with the Boomstick quote at this convention a few years back. I have the original Evil Dead on DVD, Evil Dead 2 on Blu-Ray, 2013 remake on Blu-ray, and hoping to pick up the AOD one in the near future. Totally picking up the first season on Blu-Ray when it gets released or wait for a pack of Seasons 1&2 whenever that finishes. 5
